Aegon today begins a EUR 200 million share buyback that was announced during the Capital Markets Day on December 10, 2025. This share buyback is expected to be completed by December 23, 2026, barring unforeseen circumstances. Aegon intends to cancel the shares it repurchases during this share buyback program.
Vereniging Aegon, Aegon’s largest shareholder, has agreed to participate pro-rata in this new EUR 200 million share buyback program based on its combined common shares and common shares B which represent about 18.4% of the total shareholders’ voting rights. For the Vereniging Aegon, this results in a buyback amount of EUR 37 million. The number of common shares that Aegon will repurchase from Vereniging Aegon will be determined based on the daily volume-weighted average price per common share on Euronext Amsterdam.
Aegon will engage a third party to execute the buyback transactions on its behalf. The common shares will be repurchased at a maximum of the average of the daily volume-weighted average price per common share during the repurchase period. The share buyback program will be executed in compliance with the EU’s Market Abuse Regulation and within the limitations of the existing authority as granted by our shareholders at our annual general meeting held on June 10, 2026.
EUR 227 million share buyback completed effective June 30, 2026
Aegon also announces today that the EUR 227 million share buyback that began on January 12, 2026, has been completed effective June 30, 2026, concluding the share buyback program announced on December 10, 2025. Between January 12, 2026, and June 30, 2026, 33,909,553 common shares were repurchased for a total amount of EUR 227 million at an average price of EUR 6.68 per share. Aegon will use 4,033,295 common shares, equal to a share buyback amount of EUR 27 million, to meet its obligations resulting from share-based compensation plans for senior management and cancel the remainder of the repurchased shares in the second half of 2026.
