The Hague – April 17, 2020
Aegon announces decision to hold electronic AGM
Today, Aegon announced its decision that its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) will only be accessible by electronic means in light of the current circumstances caused by the COVID-19 outbreak.
This decision is based on Aegon’s commitment to take all necessary measures to protect the health and safety of its shareholders, employees and the public. Aegon highly values its relationship with shareholders and therefore regrets that shareholders cannot be physically present during the meeting. In taking this decision, the company anticipates upcoming Dutch legislation that allows for an electronic meeting of shareholders.
Aegon’s AGM is being held on May 15, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. CET. As always, a webcast of the AGM can be followed on www.aegon.com. Today, Aegon published a “Message to Aegon’s shareholders in view of COVID-19” on www.aegon.com, explaining how to participate, ask questions and exercise voting rights.
