Aegon N.V. announces that, with reference to its press release dated September 7, 2007, it will repurchase 13.6 million common shares.

This repurchase is in addition to the Group’s EUR 1 billion already completed share repurchase program.
Aegon will seek approval from its shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting on April 23, 2008 to cancel all common shares repurchased as part of this program.
