announced on May 16, 2024. The share buyback is expected to be completed on December 13, 2024, barring unforeseen circumstances. 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 prices during the repurchase period. Aegon intends to cancel these shares. The share buyback program will be executed in compliance with the EU's Market Abuse Regulation.

Aegon has entered into an agreement with its largest shareholder, Vereniging Aegon, to participate in the new EUR 200 million share buyback program. The repurchase of shares from Vereniging Aegon will also begin today and is expected to be completed on December 13, 2024, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Vereniging Aegon will participate pro-rata in the share buyback program based on its combined common shares and common shares B which represent about 18.4% of the total shareholders' voting rights; 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.
