INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
Vereniging AEGON (the Association) hereby amends and
supplements its Report on Schedule 13D, originally filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the Commission) on January 16, 1998, as amended
by Amendments No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (the Schedule 13D), with
respect to the purchase of common shares, par value EUR 0.12 per share, of
AEGON N.V. (AEGON or the Issuer). Unless otherwise indicated, each
capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to
such term in the Schedule 13D.
Item 2.
Identity and Background
The response set forth in Item 2 of the Schedule
13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the information set forth in
Schedule A hereto.
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The response set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule
13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(a) As of January 31, 2010, the Association
beneficially owns 171,974,055 common shares, representing approximately 10.1%
of the 1,708,477,459 common shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding as of
that date.
To the best of the Associations knowledge, the
members of the Associations Executive Committee in the aggregate hold common
shares, or options to acquire common shares, constituting less than 0.2% of
AEGONs outstanding common shares. Except as set forth in this Item 5(a),
neither the Association nor any other person controlling the Association owns
beneficially any common shares.
(b) The Association has sole power to vote and to
dispose of 171,974,055 common shares.
To the best of the Associations knowledge, each
member of the Associations Executive Committee, who in the aggregate hold
common shares, or options to acquire common shares, constituting less than 0.2%
of AEGONs outstanding common shares, has sole power to vote and to dispose of
the common shares held by such member of the Executive Committee.
(c) Inapplicable
(d) On February 9, 2010, the Association (as
borrower) entered into a EUR 1,250,000,000 Term and Revolving Facilities Agreement
(the Facilities Agreement) with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (to be renamed the Royal
Bank of Scotland N.V. in due course) and ING Bank N.V. (as arrangers), the
Royal Bank of Scotland plc (as facility agent and as security agent, the
Security Agent) and the other financial institutions named in the Facilities
Agreement. The Facilities Agreement replaced certain loan facilities entered
into by the Association in 2005. In connection with the Facilities Agreement,
the Association entered into a Deed of Pledge of Registered Shares (the Deed
of Pledge) to secure its obligations under the Facilities Agreement.
Pursuant to the Deed of Pledge, the Association has
granted to the Security Agent a right of pledge over the common shares reported
herein, as well as all common shares of the Issuer acquired by the Association
after the date of the Deed of Pledge, except deposit shares (as defined in the
Issuers Articles of Association) (the Pledged Shares). In addition, the
Association has granted to the Security Agent a right of pledge over (i) all
cash dividends, distribution of reserves, repayments of capital and other
distributions and payments in any form that become payable in respect of any of
the Pledged Shares (Dividends); (ii) all present and future rights of
the Association to acquire shares in the capital of the Issuer arising out of
or in connection with the Pledged Shares and (iii) all other present and
future rights arising out of or in connection with the Pledged Shares, other
than the voting rights in respect of any of the Pledged Shares (the rights
described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) together, the Related
Rights). Because the voting rights attached to the Pledged Shares are not
transferred to the Security Agent under the Deed of Pledge, the Association
retains the exclusive right to vote the Pledged Shares.
Under the terms of the Deed of Pledge, only the
Security Agent is entitled to receive and exercise the Related Rights pledged
to it as described above, including the right to receive Dividends from, and
net proceeds from the sale of, the Pledged Shares (including the common shares
reported herein). However, the Security Agent has authorized the Association to
receive any Dividends paid in cash, provided such payments are made into a
specified account. The Security Agent is entitled to revoke this authorization
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Facilities
Agreement) and the authorization automatically terminates upon the occurrence
of a default in the proper performance of the obligations of the Association
under the Facilities Agreement.
3
Under the terms of the Facilities Agreement, the
Association is required to use any Dividends from, and net proceeds from the sale
of, the Pledged Shares (including the common shares reported herein) towards
prepayment of any loan amounts outstanding under the Facilities Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a default in the
proper performance of the obligations of the Association under the Facilities
Agreement, the Security Agent may enforce its rights of pledge and take
recourse against the proceeds of enforcement.
The Deed of Pledge limits the ability of the
Association to pledge, otherwise encumber or transfer the Pledged Shares (including
the common shares reported herein) without the Security Agents prior written
consent.
(e) Inapplicable
Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements,
Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The response set forth in Item 6 of the Schedule
13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the information set forth in
Item 5
(d) of this Amendment No. 7 of
the Schedule 13D and by the following:
The Association is a membership association under
Dutch law. The objective of the Association is the balanced representation of
the interests of AEGON N.V. and all of its stockholders, AEGON Group companies,
insured parties, employees and other constituencies of the AEGON Group. The
following table shows the number of shares and the percentage of the issued and
outstanding shares of each class of shares of AEGON owned by the Association as
of January 31, 2010:

Any holder of AEGONs common shares is entitled to one
vote for each share held by such holder and represented at the general meeting
of shareholders of AEGON. However, a holder of preferred shares is entitled,
instead of casting one vote per preferred share, to cast such number of votes
as are equal to the number of preferred shares held multiplied by twenty-five
twelfths (25/12), provided that any resulting fraction of a vote is
disregarded. AEGON and the Association have entered into a preferred shares
voting rights agreement, pursuant to which the Association has voluntarily
waived its right to cast 25/12 votes per class A or class B preferred share.
Instead, the Association has agreed to exercise only one vote per preferred share,
except in the event of a special cause, such as the acquisition of a 15%
interest in AEGON, a tender offer for AEGON shares or a proposed business
combination by any person or group of persons whether individually or as a
group, other than in a transaction approved by the AEGON Executive Board and
the AEGON Supervisory Board. If, in its sole discretion, the Association
determines that a special cause has occurred, the Association will notify the
general meeting of shareholders and retain its right to exercise the full
voting power of 25/12 votes per preferred share for a limited period of six
months.
As a result, its holdings give the Association
approximately 22.8% of AEGONs voting shares under ordinary circumstances. In
the event of a special cause, the Associations voting rights would increase
to approximately 33.0% for six months.
In case of an issuance of additional common shares by
AEGON, the Association has the right to purchase as many of AEGONs class B
preferred shares as would enable it to prevent or correct a dilution to below
its actual percentage of voting shares, unless the Association as a result of
exercising these option rights would increase its voting power to more than
33%. On August 19, 2009, AEGON conducted an offering of 190,476,191 common
shares, consisting of 157,822,000 newly issued common shares and 32,654,191
common shares held as treasury shares. In connection with this offering, the
Association exercised its right to purchase additional class B preferred
shares. On October 1, 2009, the Association purchased 33,860,000 class B
preferred shares from AEGON at the par value of EUR 0.25 per share, increasing
its holding from 35,170,000 class B preferred shares to its current holding of
69,030,000 class B preferred shares.
4
On December 1, 2008, AEGON secured EUR 3 billion
of additional core capital from the Association, funded by the Dutch State. The
new core capital was made available through a loan to the Association, which
enabled it to purchase capital securities from AEGON at a corresponding amount
and terms and conditions similar to the loan. AEGON issued 750 million
convertible core capital securities at EUR 4.00 per security to the
Association. These securities rank equal to common shares (pari passu), but
carry no voting rights. Payment of interest on the securities as well as on the
state loan provided to the Association is conditional upon the payment of
dividends (cash or stock) on the AEGON common shares. For the first year the
coupon is fixed at 8.5% (EUR 0.34 per security). For consecutive years the
coupon will be the higher of either 8.5% or an amount linked to the cash
dividend paid on the common shares in the preceding year: in the second year
110% of the dividend paid per share, rising to 120% in the third year, 125% in
the fourth and subsequent years. The coupon is not deductible for corporate
income tax. Until December 1, 2009, AEGON may repurchase up to
250 million of the securities at EUR 4.00 per security plus accrued
interest and a repurchase compensation dependent on the repurchase date and
AEGONs actual share price but not greater than EUR 130 million. After the
first year the securities may be repurchased at any time at 150% (=EUR
6.00 per security) plus accrued interest. Alternatively, after three
years, AEGON may choose to convert all or some of the securities into common
shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment of the conversion price
under certain circumstances. In the event of AEGON exercising its conversion
right however, the Association and the Dutch State may opt to receive repayment
in cash at the original issue price of EUR 4.00 per security plus accrued
interest.
