Recent Developments
On September 15, 2023, Aegon announced it had continued its stakeholder engagement in advance of the Dutch EGM and the Luxembourg EGM on
September 29 and September 30, 2023, respectively, relating to the proposed Redomiciliation. During this process of engagement, Aegon received input and questions regarding the proposed governance of Aegon Ltd.
Taking into account the feedback received with respect to the proposed governance from shareholders and other stakeholders, Aegon has decided
to make the following changes to the governance of Aegon Ltd. to further enhance shareholder rights. Corresponding changes are deemed to be made where applicable to Description of Securities, Comparison of Aegon N.V. and Aegon Ltd.
Governance and elsewhere in the Prospectus, the relevant portions of which are hereby superseded by the information in this Supplement. Except as specifically updated or supplemented hereby, all information in the Prospectus remains unchanged.
Introduction of pre-emptive rights for the issuance of common shares
Upon the issuance of Aegon Ltd. Common Shares, each holder of Aegon Ltd. Common Shares will have
pre-emptive rights in proportion to the number of Aegon Ltd. Common Shares held by such shareholder. The General Meeting can authorize the Aegon Ltd. Board to limit or exclude
pre-emptive rights.
In line with Aegon N.V.s current practice, Aegon Ltd. will annually
request (i) an authorization to exclude pre-emptive rights for up to 10% of the issued share capital, and (ii) an authorization to exclude pre-emptive rights
for share issuances for purposes of safeguarding, conserving or strengthening Aegon Ltd.s capital position.
Issuances for equity
compensation plans or against a non-cash contribution will be excluded from pre-emptive rights, in line with the current governance of Aegon N.V.
Shareholder approval for share buy-backs
The acquisition of own shares by Aegon Ltd. will require an authorization from the General Meeting. In line with Aegon N.V.s current
practice, Aegon Ltd. will annually request an authorization to acquire Aegon Ltd. Common Shares.
Shareholder approval for annual final dividend
payments
Similar to Aegon N.V.s current practice, shareholders will be allowed a binding vote on the payment of the annual final
dividend. The Aegon Ltd. Board will determine the amount of the dividend payment and declares the annual final dividend, subject to approval by the General Meeting.
These governance changes will be implemented by means of an amendment to the Aegon Ltd. Bye-Laws,
which will be submitted for approval to the first Aegon Ltd. general meeting of shareholders to be held after the Redomiciliation. For the period up to such general meeting of shareholders, Aegon Ltd. will adhere to the shareholder authorizations to
exclude pre-emptive rights and the shareholder authorization to acquire own shares as granted by the Aegon N.V. general meeting of shareholders of May 25, 2023.
In addition to the above governance changes, Aegon would like to clarify the application of the authority of the Aegon Ltd. Board to
issue common shares for purposes of safeguarding, conserving or strengthening Aegons capital position, as included in the Aegon Ltd. Bye-Laws. This authority of the Aegon Ltd. Board is
similar to the share issue authorization that Aegon N.V. has requested from shareholders annually to ensure that in exceptional financial circumstances Aegon Ltd. will be able to attract capital to safeguard its financial position, for example when
additional capital would be required to comply with its regulatory obligations. The purpose of this exception is to protect the company if the capital position requires it and Aegon Ltd. will only make use of this exception in exceptional
circumstances of severe financial distress.
Additionally, Aegon has been informed that the NYRSs will have the ISIN US0076CA1045 and the
CUSIP 0076CA 104.
