These statements may contain information about financial prospects, economic conditions and trends and involve risks and uncertainties. In addition, any statements that refer to sustainability, environmental and social targets, commitments, goals, efforts and expectations and other events or circumstances that are partially dependent on future events are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Aegon undertakes no obligation, and expressly disclaims any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which merely reflect company expectations at the time of writing. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from expectations conveyed in forward-looking statements due to changes caused by various risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to the following:

o Unexpected delays, difficulties, and expenses in executing against our environmental, climate, diversity and inclusion or other
"ESG" targets, goals and commitments, and changes in laws or regulations affecting us, such as changes in data privacy, environmental, safety and health laws;

o Changes in general economic and/or governmental conditions, particularly in the United States, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom;

o Civil unrest, (geo-) political tensions, military action or other instability in a country or
geographic region;

o Changes in the performance of financial markets, including emerging markets, such as with regard to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The frequency and severity of defaults by issuers in Aegon's fixed income investment portfolios;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The effects of corporate bankruptcies and/or accounting restatements on the financial markets and the resulting decline in
the value of equity and debt securities Aegon holds;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The effects of declining creditworthiness of certain public sector securities and the resulting decline in the value of
government exposure that Aegon holds;

o Changes in the performance of Aegon's investment portfolio and decline in ratings of Aegon's counterparties;

o Lowering of one or more of Aegon's debt ratings issued by recognized rating organizations and the adverse impact such action may
have on Aegon's ability to raise capital and on its liquidity and financial condition;

o Lowering of one or more of insurer financial strength ratings of Aegon's insurance subsidiaries and the adverse impact such action
may have on the written premium, policy retention, profitability and liquidity of its insurance subsidiaries;

o Increasing levels of competition in the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and emerging markets;

o Catastrophic events, either manmade or by nature, including by way of example acts of God, acts of terrorism, acts of war and pandemics,
could result in material losses and significantly interrupt Aegon's business;

o The frequency and severity of insured loss events;

o Changes affecting longevity, mortality, morbidity, persistence and other factors that may impact the profitability of Aegon's
insurance products;

o Aegon's projected results are highly sensitive to complex mathematical models of financial markets, mortality, longevity, and other
dynamic systems subject to shocks and unpredictable volatility. Should assumptions to these models later prove incorrect, or should errors in those models escape the controls in place to detect them, future performance will vary from projected
results;

o Reinsurers to whom Aegon has ceded significant underwriting risks may fail to meet their obligations;

o Changes in customer behavior and public opinion in general related to, among other things, the type of products Aegon sells, including
legal, regulatory or commercial necessity to meet changing customer expectations;

o Customer responsiveness to both new products and distribution channels;

o As Aegon's operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information technology,
operational risks such as system disruptions or failures, security or data privacy breaches, cyberattacks, human error, failure to safeguard personally identifiable information, changes in operational practices or inadequate controls including with
respect to third parties with which we do business may disrupt Aegon's business, damage its reputation and adversely affect its results of operations, financial condition and cash flows;

o The impact of acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items, including Aegon's ability
to complete, or obtain regulatory approval for, acquisitions and divestitures, integrate acquisitions, and realize anticipated results, and its ability to separate businesses as part of divestitures;

o Aegon's failure to achieve anticipated levels of earnings or operational efficiencies, as well as other management initiatives
related to cost savings, Cash Capital at Holding, gross financial leverage and free cash flow;

o Competitive, legal, regulatory, or tax changes that affect profitability, the distribution cost of or demand for Aegon's products;

o Consequences of an actual or potential break-up of the European monetary union in whole or in
part, or the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union and potential consequences if other European Union countries leave the European Union;

o Changes in laws and regulations, particularly those affecting Aegon's operations' ability to hire and retain key personnel,
taxation of Aegon companies, the products Aegon sells, and the attractiveness of certain products to its consumers;

o Regulatory changes relating to the pensions, investment, and insurance industries in the jurisdictions in which Aegon operates;

o Standard setting initiatives of supranational standard setting bodies such as the Financial Stability Board and the International
Association of Insurance Supervisors or changes to such standards that may have an impact on regional (such as EU), national or US federal or state level financial regulation or the application thereof to Aegon, including the designation of Aegon by
the Financial Stability Board as a Global Systemically Important Insurer (G-SII); and

o Changes in accounting regulations and policies or a change by Aegon in applying such regulations and policies, voluntarily or otherwise,
which may affect Aegon's reported results, shareholders' equity or regulatory capital adequacy levels.
