 annual general meeting, not later than six months after the end of the fiscal year. Pursuant to our articles of association, general meetings may also be held as often as the Executive Board or the Supervisory Board deems desirable. In addition, shareholders representing at least one-tenthof the issued share capital may request the Executive Board in writing to convene a general meeting, precisely stating the business to be transacted. If the Executive Board or the Supervisory Board has not taken measures so that the meeting can be held within six weeks after such request has been made, the persons who have made the request may, upon their application, be authorized by the judge for interim provisions ( voorzieningenrechter) of the competent court to convene such a meeting. Our articles of association specify the places where general meetings may be held, all of which are located in The Netherlands. We are exempt from the SEC’s proxy solicitation rules under the Securities Exchange Act; see “— Proxy Voting Facilities” for a description of the ability to vote by proxy. ING Groep N.V.’s general meeting is normally held each year in April or May to discuss the course of business in the preceding financial year on the basis of the reports prepared by the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, and to decide on:

| · |     | The distribution of dividends or other distributions; |

| · |     | The appointment and/or reappointment of members of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board; |

| · |     | Any other items requiring shareholder approval pursuant to Dutch law; and |

| · |     | Any other matters proposed by the Supervisory Board, the Executive Board or shareholders in accordance with the Articles of Association. |

General meetings are convened by public notice via the ING website (www.ing.com) at least 42 days before the day of the general meeting. As provided for in the Dutch Civil Code, implementing the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (“ BRRD”), ING Groep N.V.’s Articles of Association permit this convocation period to be shortened to 10 calendar days if (i) ING meets the criteria for early intervention measures; (ii) resolution can be avoided by means of a capital increase; and (iii) a general meeting would be required to enable ING Group to issue the required number of shares. -70-
