Aegon’s policy takes into account both national and international circumstances and conditions

Legislation and regulations impact remuneration policies ► Dutch government introduced maximum variable compensation in financial sector ► Limits on sign-on- , retention- and severance payments ► Fiscal treatment of pension accrual in the Netherlands further limited

Worldwide, Aegon’s compensation policies (and competitive landscape) are impacted

Starting performance year 2015, variable compensation levels for these roles have been adjusted downwards to match applicable new maximums ► Aegon the Netherlands: 20% maximum on average for senior management

► Holding of the Group in NL (N.V.) and Aegon companies in Europe: maximum variable compensation has become 100%
