Mr. Rob Routs succeeds Mr. Dudley Eustace Chairman of the Supervisory Board

As previously announced, Mr. Dudley Eustace has stepped down as a member of the Supervisory Board. Mr. Rob Routs succeeds him as Chairman of the Supervisory Board.

 

Dividend 2009

Given the uncertain market environment, Aegon believes that it continues to be prudent to maintain a substantial capital buffer, as reflected in the strong capital position. Though impairments on the investment portfolio improved during the second half of 2009, they remained at elevated levels, which led to lower cash flows from Aegon’s operating units. Consequently, Aegon decided not to make a dividend payment on its common shares. Aegon’s dividend policy has not changed. It remains Aegon’s policy to pay adequate and growing dividends to the holders of common shares, depending on the company’s cash flow and capital position.
