The person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal (the “Signor”) hereby tender(s) to The Central Europe, Russia and Turkey Fund, Inc., a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company incorporated in Maryland (the “Fund”), the above-described shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Fund Shares”), of the Fund, for purchase by the Fund at a price (the “Purchase Price”) equal to 98% of the net asset value (“NAV”) per share as determined by the Fund on March 18, 2014 (or, if the Offer to Repurchase, as defined below, is extended, as determined by the Fund on the next business day after the date to which the offer is extended) in cash, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Repurchase dated February 14, 2014, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which Offer to Repurchase and Letter of Transmittal together with any amendments or supplements thereto collectively constitute the “Offer to Repurchase”).

Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment of, or payment for, Fund Shares tendered herewith in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer to Repurchase (including, if the Offer to Repurchase is extended or amended, the terms or conditions of any such extension or amendment), the Signor hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Fund all right, title and interest in and to all of the Fund Shares that are being tendered hereby that are purchased pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints The Colbent Corporation (the “Depositary”) as attorney-in-fact of the Signor with respect to such Fund Shares, with full power of substitution (such power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to (a) present certificate(s) for such Fund Shares, if any, for cancellation and transfer on the Fund’s books and (b) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of such Fund Shares, subject to the next paragraph, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Repurchase.

The Signor hereby represents and warrants that (a) the Signor, if a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, has obtained the tendering stockholder’s instructions to tender pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Offer to Repurchase in accordance with the letter from the Fund to brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees; (b) when and to the extent the Fund accepts the Fund Shares for purchase, the Fund will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all security interests, liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to their sale or transfer, and not subject to any adverse claim; (c) on request, the Signor will execute and deliver any additional documents that the Depositary or the Fund deems necessary or desirable to complete the assignment, transfer and purchase of the Fund Shares tendered hereby; and (d) the Signor has read and agrees to all of the terms and conditions of the Offer to Repurchase.

The Signor recognizes that, under certain circumstances as set forth in the Offer to Repurchase, the Fund may amend, extend or terminate the Offer to Repurchase or may not be required to purchase any of the Fund Shares tendered hereby. In any such event, the Signor understands that certificate(s) for the Fund Shares not purchased, if any, will be returned to the Signor at its registered address unless otherwise indicated under the “Special Delivery Instructions” below. The Signor recognizes that the Fund has no obligation, pursuant to the “Special Payment Instructions” set forth below, to transfer any Fund Shares from the name of the registered owner thereof if the Fund purchases none of such Fund Shares.

The Signor understands that acceptance of Fund Shares by the Fund for payment will constitute a binding agreement between the Signor and the Fund upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer to Repurchase.

The check for the purchase price of the tendered Fund Shares purchased will be issued to the order of the Signor and mailed to the address indicated, unless otherwise indicated below in the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions”. The Fund will not pay interest on the purchase price under any circumstances.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the Signor and all obligations of the Signor hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Signor. Except as stated in the Offer to Repurchase, this tender is irrevocable.

Unless otherwise indicated below in the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions,” please issue the check for the purchase price and/or return any stock certificates not accepted for payment in the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appearing above under “Description of Fund Shares Tendered.” Similarly, unless otherwise indicated below in the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions,” please mail the check for the purchase price for any Fund Shares purchased and/or return any stock certificates not accepted for payment (and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the address(es) of the registered holder(s) appearing in the box entitled “Description of Fund Shares Tendered.” In the event that both the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” and the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” are completed, please issue the check for the purchase price and/or return any stock certificates not accepted for payment in the name of, and deliver such check and/or return any such stock certificates to, the person(s) so indicated.

By signing this Letter of Transmittal, you represent that you have read this entire Letter of Transmittal.

Guarantee of Signature(s) (See Instructions 1 and 6) (Please Print Except for Signature)

1. Guarantee of Signatures. No signature guarantee is required on this Letter of Transmittal if (a) this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of Fund Shares tendered hereby (including, for purposes of this document, any participant in the book-entry transfer facility of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) whose name appears on DTC’s security position listing as the owner of Fund Shares), unless such holder(s) has completed either the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” or the box entitled “Special Delivery Instructions” included in this Letter of Transmittal, or (b) the Fund Shares are tendered for the account of a firm (an “Eligible Institution”) that is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, credit union, savings association or other entity that is a member in good standing of a stock transfer association’s approved medallion program (such as STAMP, SEMP or MSP). In all other cases, all signatures on this Letter of Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution. See Instruction 6.

2. Delivery of Letter of Transmittal and Certificates. This Letter of Transmittal is to be used (a) if Fund Shares are to be forwarded herewith, (b) if uncertificated Fund Shares held by the Fund’s Transfer Agent pursuant to the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan are to be tendered, or (c) if tenders are to be made by book-entry transfer to the account maintained by the Depositary pursuant to the procedure set forth in Section 4 of the Offer to Repurchase.

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ANY DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING STOCK CERTIFICATES, THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL, AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING DELIVERY THROUGH ANY BOOK-ENTRY TRANSFER FACILITY, AND ANY PROCESSING FEE IS AT THE OPTION AND SOLE RISK OF THE TENDERING STOCKHOLDER. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ENSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

Delivery will be deemed made only when actually received by the Depositary. If delivery is by mail, registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is recommended. Stockholders have the responsibility to cause their Fund Shares (in proper certificated or uncertificated form), this Letter of Transmittal (or a copy or facsimile hereof) properly completed and bearing original signature(s) and the original of any required signature guarantee(s), and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal to be timely delivered in accordance with the Offer to Repurchase.

The Fund will not accept any alternative, conditional or contingent tenders. All tendering stockholders, brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies and other nominees, by execution of this Letter of Transmittal (or a copy or facsimile hereof), waive any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their tender.

3. Lost Certificates. In the event that any stockholder of the Fund is unable to deliver to the Depositary certificate(s) representing his, her or its Fund shares due to the loss or destruction of such certificate(s), such fact should be indicated on the face of this Letter of Transmittal. In such case, the stockholder should also contact the Fund’s Transfer Agent by telephoning (800) 437-6269 to report the lost securities. The Transfer Agent will forward additional documentation which such stockholder must complete in order to effectively surrender such lost or destroyed certificate(s) of Fund Shares (including affidavits of loss and indemnity bonds in lieu thereof). There may be a fee in respect of lost or destroyed certificates of Fund Shares, but surrenders hereunder regarding such lost certificates will be processed only after such documentation has been submitted to and approved by the Fund’s Transfer Agent.

4. Inadequate Space. If the space provided in any of the boxes to be completed is inadequate, the necessary information should be listed on a separate schedule signed by all of the required signatories and attached hereto.

5. Proration. The Fund is offering to repurchase up to 566,397 Fund Shares. If stockholders tender more than 566,397 Fund Shares for repurchase, the Fund will repurchase duly tendered Fund Shares from participating stockholders on a pro rata basis, disregarding fractions, based upon the number of Fund Shares each stockholder tenders for repurchase and does not timely withdraw, unless the Fund determines not to purchase any Fund Shares. The Fund does not intend to increase the number of Fund Shares that it is offering to repurchase, even if stockholders tender more than the maximum number of Fund Shares to be repurchased by the Fund in the repurchase offer.

(a) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Fund Shares tendered hereby, the signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the face of the certificate(s) for the Fund Shares tendered without alteration, enlargement or any change whatsoever.

(b) If any of the Fund Shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such owners must sign this Letter of Transmittal.

(c) If any of the tendered Fund Shares are registered in different names on several certificates, it is necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations.

(d) If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate for Fund Shares tendered or stock powers relating to Fund Shares tendered are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Fund of their authority so to act must be submitted.

(e) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered holder(s) of the Fund Shares transmitted hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment is to be made to, or certificates for Fund Shares not purchased are to be issued in the name of, a person other than the registered holder(s). Signatures on such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

(f) If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder(s) of the certificate(s) listed thereon, the certificate(s) must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered holder(s) appear(s) on the certificate(s) for the Fund Shares involved. Signatures on such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

(g) Attribution under Section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) can cause shares of common stock of the Fund held by your family members, or held by an entity such as a trust, estate, partnership or corporation in which you have an interest, to be considered as owned by you. The attribution rules under Section 318 of the Code are complex. Please consult your tax advisor for details.

7. Transfer Taxes. The Fund will pay any transfer taxes payable on the transfer to it of Fund Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase; provided, however, that if (a) payment of the Purchase Price is to be made to, or (in the circumstances permitted by the Offer to Repurchase) unpurchased Fund Shares are to be registered in the name(s) of, any person(s) other than the registered owner(s), or (b) if any tendered certificate(s) are registered, or the Fund Shares tendered are otherwise held, in the name(s) of any person(s) other than the registered owner, the amount of any transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered owner(s) or such other person(s)) payable on account of the transfer to such person(s) will be deducted from the Purchase Price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of such taxes, or exemption therefrom, is submitted herewith.

8. Special Payment and Delivery Instructions. If certificate(s) for unpurchased Fund Shares and/or check(s) are to be issued in the name of a person other than the registered owner(s) or if such certificate(s) and/or check(s) are to be sent to someone other than the registered owner(s) or to the registered owner(s) at a different address, the boxes entitled “Special Payment Instructions” and/or “Special Delivery Instructions” in this Letter of Transmittal must be completed.

9. Determinations of Validity. All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of tenders will be determined by the Fund, in its sole discretion, which determinations shall be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders determined not to be in appropriate form or to refuse to accept for payment, purchase or pay for, any Fund Shares if, in the opinion of the Fund’s counsel, accepting, purchasing or paying for such Fund Shares would be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer to Repurchase or any defect in any tender, whether generally or with respect to any particular Fund Share(s) or stockholder(s). The Fund’s interpretations of the terms and conditions of the Offer to Repurchase (including these instructions) shall be final and binding. By tendering Fund Shares to the Fund, you agree to accept all decisions the Fund makes concerning these matters and waive any right you might otherwise have to challenge those decisions.

NONE OF THE FUND, ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS, DEUTSCHE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AMERICAS INC., THE FUND’S ADMINISTRATOR, DEUTSCHE ASSET & WEALTH MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL GMBH, THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISOR, THE DEPOSITARY, THE INFORMATION AGENT NOR ANY OTHER PERSON IS OR WILL BE OBLIGATED TO GIVE ANY NOTICE OF ANY DEFECT OR IRREGULARITY IN ANY TENDER, AND NONE OF THEM WILL INCUR ANY LIABILITY FOR FAILURE TO GIVE ANY SUCH NOTICE.

10. Procedures for Participants in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Holders of Fund Shares acquired through the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan may tender such shares by completing the appropriate section of this Letter of Transmittal. If a stockholder tenders Fund Shares acquired through the dividend reinvestment plan, all such shares credited to such stockholder’s account(s) will be tendered, unless the stockholder otherwise specifies in this Letter of Transmittal. If a stockholder does not complete the section of this Letter of Transmittal to tender Fund Shares acquired through the dividend reinvestment plan, no Fund Shares acquired by that stockholder through the dividend reinvestment plan will be deemed to have been tendered.

11. Questions and Requests for Assistance and Additional Copies. Questions, requests for assistance and requests for additional copies of the Offer to Repurchase and this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to AST Fund Solutions, Inc. (the “Information Agent”) by telephoning (800) 884-4725. Stockholders who do not own Fund Shares directly may also obtain such information and copies from their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. Stockholders who wish to tender Fund Shares, but do not own Fund Shares directly, are required to tender their Fund Shares through their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and should NOT submit this Letter of Transmittal to the Depositary.

12. Proper Tender of Fund Shares; Restriction on Short Sales. Section 14(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 14e-4 promulgated thereunder, make it unlawful for any person, acting alone or in concert with others, to tender Fund Shares in a partial tender offer for such person’s own account unless at the time of tender, and at the time the Fund Shares are accepted for payment, the person tendering has a “net long position” equal to or greater than the amount tendered in (a) Fund Shares, and will deliver or cause to be delivered such Fund Shares for the purpose of tender to the person making the Offer to Repurchase within the period specified in the Offer to Repurchase, or (b) an equivalent security and, upon acceptance of his or her tender, will acquire Fund Shares by conversion, exchange, or exercise of such equivalent security to the extent required by the terms of the Offer to Repurchase, and will deliver or cause to be delivered the Fund Shares so acquired for the purpose of tender to the Fund prior to or on the expiration date of the Offer to Repurchase. Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Exchange Act Rule 14e-4 provide a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person.

The acceptance of Fund Shares by the Fund for payment will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering stockholder and the Fund upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer to Repurchase, including the tendering stockholder’s representation that the stockholder has a “net long position” in the Fund Shares being tendered within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 14e-4 and that the tender of such Fund Shares complies with Exchange Act Rule 14e-4.

13. Back-up Withholding Tax. Under the U.S. federal income tax laws, the Depositary may be required to apply back-up withholding against the amount of any payment made to certain holders pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase. In order to avoid such back-up withholding tax, each tendering U.S. stockholder who has not already submitted a correct, completed and signed Form W-9 or Substitute Form W-9 to the Fund should provide the Depositary with the stockholder’s correct taxpayer identification number (“TIN”) by completing a Substitute Form W-9, a copy of which is included in this Letter of Transmittal. In general, if a U.S. stockholder is an individual, the TIN is the individual’s Social Security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the U.S. stockholder may be subject to a penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). The box in Part 2 of the Substitute Form W-9 may be checked if the tendering stockholder has not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a TIN in the near future. If the box in Part 2 is checked and payment of the purchase price of Fund Shares is made within 60 days of the receipt by the Depositary of the Substitute Form W-9, the Depositary is not required to withhold any back-up withholding tax from the payment. Certain U.S. stockholders are not subject to these back-up withholding and reporting requirements, but should nonetheless complete a Substitute Form W-9 to avoid the possible erroneous imposition of a back-up withholding tax.

In order for a non-U.S. stockholder to avoid the back-up withholding tax, the non-U.S. stockholder must submit a Form W-8BEN or other appropriate form, or otherwise establish an exemption from such withholding. The most recent Form W-8BEN and Form W-8BEN Instructions can be found on the IRS website at: www.irs.gov. Even if a non-U.S. stockholder establishes an exemption from back-up withholding, payments made to a non-U.S. stockholder may be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be applicable under a tax treaty). See Section 12 of the Offer to Repurchase.

Back-up withholding tax is not an additional U.S. federal income tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of a person subject to back-up withholding tax will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If back-up withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, the stockholder may claim a refund from the IRS. All stockholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of the Offer to Repurchase.

The tax information set forth above is included for general information only and may not be applicable to the situations of certain taxpayers.

IMPORTANT: THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR A COPY OR FACSIMILE HEREOF) PROPERLY COMPLETED AND BEARING ORIGINAL SIGNATURE(S) AND THE ORIGINAL OF ANY REQUIRED SIGNATURE GUARANTEE(S), FUND SHARES (IN PROPER CERTIFICATED OR UNCERTIFICATED FORM) AND OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY, OR A PROPERLY COMPLETED AND DULY EXECUTED NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE OFFER TO REPURCHASE.

I certify, under penalties of perjury, that a Taxpayer Identification Number has not been issued to me, and that I have mailed or delivered an application to receive a Taxpayer Identification Number to the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Center or Social Security Administration Office (or I intend to mail or deliver an application in the near future). I understand that if I do not provide a Taxpayer Identification Number to the payer within 60 days, the Depositary is required to withhold 28% of all payments due to me pursuant to the Offer to Repurchase.

NOTE: FAILURE TO COMPLETE AND RETURN THIS FORM MAY RESULT IN BACK-UP WITHHOLDING OF 28% OF ANY PAYMENTS MADE TO YOU PURSUANT TO THE OFFER TO REPURCHASE.
