FRANKFURT, Oct 15 (Reuters) -

The sale of some 16 million shares in Deutsche Bank

was priced at 16.01 euros ($17.43) per share, a

bookrunner for the transaction said on Tuesday.

It remained unclear who was behind the sale of shares in

Germany's largest bank. Deutsche Bank declined to comment.

The block of shares, worth some 256 million euros, make up

less than 1% of Deutsche's outstanding shares.

The bookrunner, Goldman Sachs ( GS ), declined to comment.
