Lard Friese has decided to step down as a member of the Supervisory Board of ASR Nederland N.V. (a.s.r.) in order to fully focus on his responsibilities at Aegon Ltd. Aegon Ltd will nominate a candidate to succeed him.
Lard Friese has been a member of a.s.r.'s Supervisory Board (SB) since 4 July 2023. On that date, the transaction with Aegon Ltd regarding the acquisition of Aegon Nederland's activities by a.s.r. was completed. As part of that agreement, Aegon Ltd was granted the right to nominate two candidates for the SB for a period of up to five years following completion of the transaction. Lard Friese will step down as a non-independent member of a.s.r.'s SB once the candidate nominated by Aegon Ltd has been appointed by a.s.r.'s General Shareholders Meeting.
Lard Friese, CEO of Aegon Ltd: 'I have greatly enjoyed being part of a.s.r.'s Supervisory Board. Together with the SB and the Management Board, we have worked hard over the past years on integrating Aegon Nederland's activities into a.s.r. It is good to see how successful this is progressing. Now that the integration is nearly complete and I want to fully focus on my role at Aegon Ltd, the time has come to step down. I am confident that my successor will continue the strong collaboration within the SB and with the management team.'
Joop Wijn, chair of a.s.r.'s Supervisory Board: 'We look back on a pleasant and constructive collaboration with Lard Friese. We would like to sincerely thank him for his commitment within the Supervisory Board and his valuable contribution to the smooth integration of Aegon Nederland into a.s.r.'
Under the agreements made between Aegon Ltd and a.s.r., Aegon Ltd may nominate a candidate to fill Lard Friese's position on the SB until 4 July 2028. Further information about the candidate will be shared in due course.
