Deutsche Telekom International Finance B.V. Intends To Deregister From SEC

Deutsche Telekom International Finance B.V. (the “Company”) intends to deregister and terminate its reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Company expects to file the Form 15F on or about June 23, 2010 and expects the deregistration to become effective 90 days later.

The Company reserves the right, for any reason, to delay the filing or to withdraw it prior to its effectiveness, and to otherwise change its plans in this regard.
