Pro forma financial information of Aegon N.V. relating to the proposed disposition of the Aegon NL businesses in the ASR transaction

As of and for the year ended

December 31, 2022


Introductory paragraph

The pro forma financial information presented below reflects the pro forma impact on Aegon N.V.’s (Aegon) consolidated financial statements of the disposition (the ASR transaction) to ASR Nederland N.V., a publicly traded company on Euronext Amsterdam (a.s.r.), of Aegon’s Dutch pension, life and non-life insurance, banking and mortgage origination activities (Aegon NL) that was announced on October 27, 2022. In connection with such disposition, Aegon will receive EUR 2.2 billion in gross cash proceeds and a 29.99% strategic equity stake in a.s.r. ordinary shares, with associated governance rights. Aegon’s Dutch asset management activities will remain part of Aegon’s global asset manager. Aegon will enter into a long-term asset management agreement with a.s.r. to manage parts of the combination’s general account investments, the investments of the Premium Pension Institution (PPI) offering of Aegon Cappital, and a.s.r.’s mortgage funds. Aegon’s Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders (EGM) approved the ASR transaction on January 17, 2023. Furthermore, the works council of Aegon has rendered a positive recommendation in relation to the ASR transaction. The ASR transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and antitrust approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2023.

The assets and liabilities of Aegon NL were classified, for purposes of Aegon’s consolidated financial statements included in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 22, 2023, as held for sale and discontinued operations.

The pro forma financial information below presents Aegon N.V.’s consolidated financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022, on a pro forma basis, excluding Aegon NL as if the ASR transaction had been consummated as of January 1, 2022. The pro forma financial information is presented in EUR millions.

Further information on the pro forma adjustments can be found in the notes to this pro forma financial information.

Notes to the pro forma Condensed financial statements adjustments

(all EUR amounts in millions except per share amounts)

 

  1.

Adjustment to “Net result from continuing and discontinued operations”

This adjustment of (€178) relates to mainly

 

   

The exclusion of the net result from discontinued operations of €379, and

the inclusion of the remaining impairment (€941) to be recognized upon the completion of the sale of Aegon NL. Refer to page 126 “Consolidated income statement of Aegon N.V.” of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F and to Note 51 “Discontinued operations” on page 288 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

   

The inclusion of the fair value adjustment of a.s.r. as of January 1, 2022 of (€136), reflecting a lower share price as of January 1, 2022 compared to December 31, 2022. The valuation of Aegon’s 29.99% strategic equity stake in a.s.r. ordinary shares will be dependent on the actual share price of these shares, listed on the Euronext stock exchange in Amsterdam, at the closing date of the transaction. For purposes of this pro forma financial information, which assumes the transaction had been consummated as of January 1, 2022, a share price of €40.50 per ordinary share has been used. The closing share price on June 16, 2023 was €38.58 per ordinary share.

 

   

The inclusion of the fair value adjustment of Aegon NL as of January 1, 2022 of €327 reflecting a lower book value of Aegon NL as of January 1, 2022 compared to December 31, 2022.

 

   

The inclusion of the 2022 result of the share in the associate a.s.r. assumed to reflect the dividends paid in 2022 by a.s.r. amounting to €163.

No adjustment has been made for possible stranded cost – head-office cost that were previously recharged to Aegon NL for services provided to these businesses.

The long-term asset management agreement between Aegon and a.s.r. as part of the transaction is expected to lead to an immaterial benefit to the earnings of Aegon N.V. For the purpose of this document, we have assumed that the additional asset management mandates obtained by Aegon Asset Management following this transaction lead to a zero impact on our results when considering the mandates lost from the completion of the transaction with a.s.r.

 

  2.

Adjustment to “Discontinued operations that will not be reclassified”

This adjustment of (€703) relates to the exclusion of the “other comprehensive income items that will not be reclassified to profit or loss” of the discontinued operations. Refer to page 127 “Consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Aegon N.V.” of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

  3.

Adjustment to “Discontinued operations that may be reclassified”

This adjustment of €1,426 relates to the exclusion of the “other comprehensive income items that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss” of the discontinued operations. Refer to page 127 “Consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Aegon N.V.” of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

 

  4.

Refer to Note 51 “Discontinued operations” on page 288 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F. The amount of €2,175 which is shown in the Annual Report on Form 20-F has been adjusted for the purpose of these pro forma condensed financial statements to unwind the discounting of the cash receivable, as this discounting is not applicable for this pro forma financial information and including the dividends that would have been received in 2022.

  5.

Adjustment to “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities held for sale”

  6.

Adjustment to “Investments in associates”

This adjustment of €2,564 relates to recognition of the 29.99% stake in a.s.r. which is part of the consideration received relating to the sale of Aegon NL. The amount is calculated using the closing price on Euronext Amsterdam of a.s.r. shares on December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 51 “Discontinued operations” on page 288 of the 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F. The amount of €2,700 which is shown in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F has been adjusted for the purpose of these pro forma condensed financial statements to adjust for the inclusion of the fair value adjustment of a.s.r. as of January 1, 2022 of (€136).

 

  7.

Adjustment to “Other assets and receivables” and “Other liabilities”

In the historical financial statements, these intercompany positions were eliminated in the consolidation process as at that time Aegon NL was considered an Aegon Group company.

 

  8.

Adjustment to “Shareholders’ equity”

This adjustment of (€557) relates to the inclusion of the remaining impairment to be recognized upon the completion of the sale of Aegon NL of €941.
