include but are not limited to the following:
|
|
|
Changes in general economic and/or governmental conditions, particularly in the United States, the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom;
|
|
|
|
Changes in the performance of financial markets, including emerging markets, such as with regard to:
|
|
|
|
The frequency and severity of defaults by issuers in Aegons fixed income investment portfolios;
|
|
|
|
The effects of corporate bankruptcies and/or accounting restatements on the financial markets and the resulting decline in
the value of equity and debt securities Aegon holds; and
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Changes in the performance of Aegons investment portfolio and decline in ratings of Aegons counterparties;
|
|
|

|
|

|
Lowering of one or more of insurer financial strength ratings of Aegons insurance subsidiaries and the adverse impact
such action may have on the written premium, policy retention, profitability and liquidity of its insurance subsidiaries;
|
|

capital Aegon is required to maintain;
|
|

The frequency and severity of insured loss events;
|
|
|
|
Changes affecting longevity, mortality, morbidity, persistence and other factors that may impact the profitability of
Aegons insurance products;
|
|
|
|
Aegons projected results are highly sensitive to complex mathematical models of financial markets, mortality,
longevity, and other dynamic systems subject to shocks and unpredictable volatility. Should assumptions to these models later prove incorrect, or should errors in those models escape the controls in place to detect them, future performance will vary
from projected results;
|
|
|

Reinsurers to whom Aegon has ceded significant underwriting risks may fail to meet their obligations;

|
Changes in customer behavior and public opinion in general related to, among other things, the type of products Aegon
sells, including legal, regulatory or commercial necessity to meet changing customer expectations;
|
|
|
|
Customer responsiveness to both new products and distribution channels;
|
|
|
|
As Aegons operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information
technology, operational risks such as system disruptions or failures, security or data privacy breaches, cyberattacks, human error, failure to safeguard personally identifiable information, changes in operational practices or inadequate controls
including with respect to third parties with which we do business may disrupt Aegons business, damage its reputation and adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows;
|
|
|
|
The impact of acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items, including
Aegons ability to integrate acquisitions and to obtain the anticipated results and synergies from acquisitions;

|
|
|
|
Changes in the policies of central banks and/or governments;
|
|
|
|

|
|
Competitive, legal, regulatory, or tax changes that affect profitability, the distribution cost of or demand for
Aegons products;

|
