Summary of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
AEGON N.V.'s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) on May 16, 2012,
adopted all resolutions on the agenda, including adoption of the Annual
Accounts of AEGON N.V. for the 2011 financial year. The members of the
Executive Board and the Supervisory Board were released from liability for
their duties.
Shareholders approved the final dividend for 2011 of EUR 0.10 per common share
related to the second half of 2011. The final dividend will be paid entirely in
cash or entirely in stock at the election of the shareholder. The stock
fraction for the final dividend in common shares will be determined by the
Executive Board, based upon the average price of AEGON shares as quoted on the
Euronext Amsterdam Stock Exchange, calculated over the five trading days from
June 4 up to and including June 8, 2012. The value of the stock dividend will
be approximately equal to the cash dividend.
Moreover, the shareholders reappointed Mr. Irving Bailey, Mr. Rob Routs, Mr.
Ben van der Veer and Mr. Dirk Verbeek as members of the Supervisory Board for
another term of four years as of May 16, 2012.

* The frequency and severity of insured loss events;
* Changes affecting mortality, morbidity, persistence and other factors that
may impact the profitability of AEGON's insurance products;

* Changes affecting interest rate levels and continuing low or rapidly
changing interest rate levels; changes affecting currency exchange rates,
in particular the EUR/USD and EUR/GBP exchange rates;
* Changes in the availability of, and costs associated with, liquidity
sources such as bank and capital markets funding, as well as conditions in

* Increasing levels of competition in the United States, the Netherlands, the

regulations in other jurisdictions affecting the capital AEGON is required
to maintain;
* Litigation or regulatory action that could require AEGON to pay significant
damages or change the way the company does business;

on the proper functioning of information technology, a computer system
failure or security breach may disrupt the company's business, damage its
reputation and adversely affect its results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows;
* Customer responsiveness to both new products and distribution channels;
* Competitive, legal, regulatory, or tax changes that affect profitability,
the distribution cost of or demand for AEGON's products;
* Changes in accounting regulations and policies may affect AEGON's reported
