The operating result of Netherlands Non-life decreased to EUR 189 million in the first half of 2021, reflecting lower underwriting results in P&C due to the February storm, partly offset by favourable claims development on prior accident years in P&C as well as higher underwriting results in D&A. The combined ratio was 96.1% in the first half of 2022.

3

The operating result of Insurance Europe increased to EUR 161 million in the first half of 2021, up 9.3% on a constant currency basis. This reflects higher life region, a higher technical margin as well as a positive contribution from one quarter of the acquired MetLife business in Greece. This was partly offset by higher DAC amortisation and higher administrative expenses.

The operating result of Japan Life decreased to EUR 130 million in the first half of 2021, mainly reflecting lover fees and premium-based revenues and a lower technical margin , partly offset by a higher expenses. Excluding currency effects, the operating result decreased by 14.7%.

The operating result of Banking decreased to EUR 48 million in the first half of 2021, mainly due to lower operating income and higher total expenses.

The operating result of the segment Other was EUR -88 million in the first half of 2021, mainly due to a lower operating result of the reinsurance business.

Result before tax

Gains/losses and impairments were EUR 268 million in the first half of 2021. The current period mainly reflects capital gains on the sale of debt securities and public equities, partly offset by impairments on equities and debt securities.

Revaluations amounted to EUR -455 million in the first half of 2021. The first half of 2022 includes negative revaluations of derivatives used for hedging purposes mainly reflecting acounting an increase in interest rates, partly offset by positive revaluations on real estate and private equity.

Market and other impocts amounted to EUR 465 million in the first half of 2021, mainly reflecting movements in the provision for guarantees on unit-linked, separate acount pension contracts and inflation-linked liabilities (all net of hedging) at Netherlands Life.

The effective tax rate in the first half of 2022 was 10.4%, reflecting the tax-exempt gain on the sale of NN IP as well as a relatively low tax charge on the investment income, mainly due to tax-exempt dividends, capital gains and revaluations in the Netherlands

Sales and Value of New Business

Total new sales (APE) were EUR 811 million, up 11.5% from the first half of 2021 on a constant currency basis. New soles at Netherlands Life were EUR 290 million compared with EUR 168 million in the first half of 2021, mainly driven by a higher volume of group persion contracts.

This was partly offset by lower value of new business at Insurance turope due to the discounting effect of higher interest rates as well as model and assumption changes, partly compensated by an improved business mix. The lower value of new business of Japan Life is due to negative currency impacts while lower COL Financial Solutions sales were partly compensated by an improved margin as a result of repricing and higher investment income.

NN Group Solvency II ratio (a/b)1 196% 213%

1 The solvency ratio is not final until filed with the regulators. The Solvency II ratio for NN Group is based on the partial internal model.

The NN Group Solvency II ratio decreased to 196% at the end of 2021. The EUR 1.3 billion copital return to shareholders, consisting of EUR 1 billion share buyback programmes and the 2022 interim dividend of EUR 294 million, the adverse market imports, including the impact of the reduction of the UFR to 3.45% were only partly compensated by the strong operating as well as the net positive impact from the sale of NNP and the s businesses in Greece and Poland. Market impacts mainly reflect negative equity revaluations, changes in creats and an increase in interest rates, partly offset by flattening of the interest rate curve. The negative impact of mortgage spread widening was partly offset by the positive impact of increasing corporate bond spreads and the corresponding charge of the volatinent. After 30 June 2022, we continue to see elevated market volatility as equity markets increased, corporate spreads tightened, while widened as most providers have not yet adjusted client rates following a decrease in interest rates. The potential impact of market volatility on our Solvency II ratio is reflected in our sensitivities.

NN Group has ample financial flexibility given its remaining tiering capacity of EUR 1.2 billion in Tier 2 and 3 capital.

2 Following the sale of NN IP on 11 April 2022, the 1H22 numbers reported for the results for the first quorter of 2022.

Operating capital generation increased to EUR 899 million in the first half of 2021. The increase is mainly driver by the lower net negative impact of the UFR drag and the risk margin release as a result of higher interest rates as well as a higher Life experience variance mostly driven by favourable portfolio developments at Netherlands Life and Insurance Europe. The increase also reflects a higher investment return mainly as a result of positive realuations and higher interest rates. The lower contribution from Non-Solvency II entities mainly reflects a lower contribution from Asset Management which reflects one quarter of NN I in April as well as a lower contribution from Banking mainly reflecting a higher RWA following mortgage portfolio growth, a lower portion of stateguaranteed (NHG) mortgages as well as lower income. This was partly offset by a positibution from Japan Life which mainly reflects a higher investment return and a lower new business strain. The underwriting result reflects the impact of the storm in February, partly compensated by favourable results on prior accident years as well as higher underwriting results in D&A.

Available-for-sale investments

Other assets

Other assets increased by EUR 4.3 billion in the first half of 2022 to EUR 8.0 billion, reflecting the increase in cash collateral amounts paid as a result of a lower market value of derivatives following higher interest rates.

Liabilities

Insurance and investment contracts

Insurance and investment contracts decreased by EUR 8.7 billion in the first half of 2022 to EUR 160.1 billion, mainly driven by a decrease of EUR 4.7 billion in defered interest credited to policyholders as a result of increasing interest rates partly offset by the acquired MetLife businesses in Poland and Greece. Liabilities for life insurance for the risk of the policyholders decreased due to negative valuation changes of EUR 5.4 billion.

1 Accounting policies

The accounting principles used to prepare these Consolidated interim accounts comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRS-EU) and are consistent with the notes to the 2021 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts.

In these Condensed consolidated interim accounts, "NN Group N.V. (the parent company) and /or NN Group N.V. together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the consolidated group). These Condensed nterim accounts should be read in conjunction with the 2021 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts.

IFRS-EU provides a number of options in accounting policies under IFRS-EU and its decision on the options available are set out in Note 1 'Accounting policies' of the 2021 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts

Certain amounts recorded in the Condensed interim accounts reflect estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results may differ from the estimates made. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full-year results.

Upcoming changes in IFRS-EU

Upcoming changes in IFRS-EU that are the mN Group relate to IFRS 9 'Financial instruments' and IFRS 17 'Insurance contracts'.

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments'

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments' was issued by the IRS 9 replaces most of the current IAS 39 'Financial Instruments Recognition and Mecsurement' and includes requirement of financial assets and lidbilities, imporment of financial assess and hedge accounting.

Main features of IFRS 9

The classification and measurement of financial assets under IFRS 9 will depend on NN Group's business model and the instrument's contractual cash flow characteristics. This will result in financial at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity) and/or at fair value through profit or lossification and measurement under IFRS 9 will be similar to IAS 39, although changes in closed on Furthermore, for equity securities accounted for at fair value through other comprehensive income (equity) realised gains and losger recognised in the profit and loss account but reclassified in equity. The classification and measurement of financial liabilities remains unchanged.

The recognition and measurement of impairment under IFRS 9 is intended to be more forward-looking than under IAS 39. The new imporment requirements will apply to all financial at amortised cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income. Initially, a provision is required for expected crediting from default events that are expected within the next welve months. In the event of a significant increase in credit risk, a provision is expected crediting from all possible default events over the expected iffe of the financial assets.

The hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 aim to simplify hedge accounting. IFRS 9 includes the option to continue applying IAS 39 for hedge accounting.

Effective date of IFRS 9 and comparative information

IFRS 9 is effective as of 2018. However, for entities that are predominantly connected with insurance, amongst which NN Group qualifies, there is a temporary exemption to align the effective date with that of IFRS 17, i.e. 1 January 2023. NN Group ary exemption. Usage of this exemption requires certain additional disclosures on whether financial assets that remain accounted for under IAS 39 meet the definition of solely payments of principal amount outstanding in IFRS 9 as well as additional information on the credit rating of such assets and whether such risk'. In this context, "low credit risk is equivalent to investment grade as defined by ratings agencies (generally a rating of BB- or better). These additional disclosures are included in Note 36 Fair value of financal assets and in Note 52 Risk management in the 2021 Annual Accounts of NN Group. These disclosures reflect the current business models and the current accounting choices and interpretations. These may therefore change when IFRS 9 are implemented.

Certain subsidiaries within NN Group (mainly NN Bank) do not qualify under the financial information of these entities is based on IFRS 9 in the statutory IFRS reporting of these entities, but not in the consolidated financial reporting of NN Group. The impoct of applying /FRS 9 for these entities is not significant to NN Group does not have associates or joint ventures for which IFRS 9 has a significant impact.

IFRS 9 includes an option to restate the comparation for the financial year 2022. Furthermore, IFRS 17 includes an option to opply a 'clossfication overlay approach' for assets of entities are predominantly connected with insurance, amongst which NN Group qualifies. This classification overay approach allows restatement of comparative information also for assess that are or will be disposed of in 2022 NN Group intends to apply both options, which is expected to result in comparative information for 2022 as if IFRS 9 had always been applied. As a result, the transition date for IFRS 9 for NN Group is 1 January 2022.

NN Group's implementation of IFRS 9

For classification and measurement, NN Group intends to align the accounting for financial assets under IFRS 9 as much as possible to the accounting for insurance liabilities under IFRS 17. As a result, NN Group intends to account for financial assets of the insurance operations of for

value through other comprehensive income (equity) where allowed under IFRS 9. This will mainly impact the accounting for (mortgage) loans in the insurance operations (currently accounted for at amortised cost). Accounting for (mortage) loans in the barking operations is expected to remain unchanged. The fair value of loans at 1 lanuary 2022 is disclosed in Note 36 Fair value of financial assets and liabilities in the 2021 Annual Accounts of NN Group. The find choice for classification and measurement of financial assets is dependent on the final accounting choices for insurance liabilities under IFRS 17 (see below). The net impact will be reflected in equity at the transition date.

For impairment, the implementation of the expected loss impairment model under IFRS 9 is not expect in a significant impact on equity at the transition date.

For hedge accounting, NN Group intends to continue applying the hedge accounting requirements in IAS 39.

IFRS 17 'Insurance Contracts'

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts' was issued in May 2017 and revised in June 2020. IFRS 17 covers the recognition and measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts and replaces the current IFRS 4. IFRS 17 will fundamentally change libilities and deferred acquisition costs (DAC) for all insurance companies, including NN Group and its subsidiaries. IFRS 17 is endorsed in the EU and will be effective as of 1 January 2023.

Main features of IFRS 17

The main features of IFRS 17 are:

  • Measurement of the insurance lidbilities in the balance sheet at current fulfilment value, being the sum of future cash flows and a risk adjustment.
  • · Remeasurement of the current fulfilment value every reporting period using current assumptions and discount rates.
  • · A Contractual Service Margin (CSM) recognised in the balance sheet that is equal to the insurance contract at issue and that is subsequently recognised as result in the profit and loss account over the remaining life of the portfolio.
  • · Certain changes in the insurance liability are adjusted aqainst the CSM and thereby recognised in the profit and loss account over the remaining life of the portfolio.
  • · The effect of changes in discount rates is recognised either in the profit and loss account or in equity (OCI),
  • · The presentation of the profit and loss account and the notes will change fundamentally. The profit and loss account will be presented in a margin-type of presentation (with insurance result). Premium income will no longer be used to determine revenue.

IFRS 17 must be implemented retrospectively with amendive figures. However, several simplifications may be used on transition.

Key measurement differences between IFRS 17 and NN Group's current IFRS accounting

The main differences for measuring the insurance liability between the requirements in IFRS 17 and the currently applicable IFRS 4 relate to the following:

  • IFRS 17 requires insurance liabilities to be ment best estimate assumptions and current market data for all actuarial and financial assumptions. IFRS 4 allows the use of locked-in assumptions that are set at issue of the policies, in combination with a reserve adequacy test at current assumptions.
  • The insurance liability under IFRS 17 includes an explicit risk and an explicit contractual service margin, representing the unamortised part of the updated profit margin. These elements are not explicitly recognised under IFRS 4.
  • · IFRS 7 allows certain changes in assumptions to be absorbed in the contractual service margin or in the revaluation reserve (OC) in equity. Under IFRS 4, changes in assumptions are, to the extent relevant, recognised in profit and loss.
  • In applying IFRS 4, directly attributable acquised as an asset which is amortised to profit and loss over time. In applying IFRS 17, directly attributable acquisition costs are accounted for as part of the insurance liability. Also deferred interest credited to policyholders is not applicable anymore under IFRS 17.

Key measurement differences between IFRS 17 and Solvency II

Both IFRS 17 and Solvency II require the insurance labilities to be messured on the basis of the best estimate of uture expected cash flows and an explicit allowance for non-financial risk. There are however significant differences in the following areas:

  • In Solvency II, the initial margin in the premium over the interlately in Own Funds. In FRS 17, sucf initial margin (when positive) is recognised as contractual service margin (CSM) in the insurance liability and amortised over time.
  • · In Solvency II the discount rate is prescribed by the prudential requator, whereas the discount rate under IFRS 17 is set by NN Group taking into account the specific characteristics of NN Group's portfolios.
  • · In Solvency II the cost of capital rate and the level of diversification in determining the risk adjustment is prescribed by the regulator, whereas under IFRS 17 these are set by NN Group taking into account the specific characteristics of NN Group's portfolios.
  • · There are differences in the best estimate of future cash flows, for example caused by different requirements for contract boundaries in Solvency II and IFRS 17.

NN Group's implementation of IFRS 17

IFRS 17 allows certain accounting policy choices to be made and requires significant judgment in setting certain assumptions. The finalisation of these policy choices and assumptions is ongoing and NN Group may decide to change the tentative policy choices and assumptions as part of parallel reporting during 2022 and other implemently expects to apply the following key policy choices and key assumptions:

  • · Contracts are grouped together if, at inception, these are in the same level of profitability and recognised within the same annual reporting period ("annual cohorts'). NN Group does not intend to disaggregate groups of contracts beyond what is minimally required. NN Group's accounting policies comply with International Reporting Standard as adopted by the EU (IFRS-EU). As such, NN Group has the option to apply the EU amendment to IFRS 17 on annual cohorts for certain types of contracts. NN Group does currently not intend to make significant use of this option and, therefore, intend to comply with IFRS 17 as issued by the IASB.
  • · NN Group will use the option to recognise the impact of chancial assumptions as revaluations directly in equity (OC) together with the revaluation on related financial assets. Only when the recognitions directly in profit or loss provides a better accounting match or more relevant information, NN Group will apply this alternative in combination with accounting for the related assets at fair value through profit or loss.
  • · NN Group will use the Premium Allocation Approach for the property and casualty (P&C) business in the non-fife segment. NN Group will apply the variable Fee Approach (VFA) to certain portfolios for which the liability measurement is directly impacted by the asset valuation, including certain unit linked portfolios.
  • · NN Group intends to set the discount rate under isk-free curve until the lost liquid point, with extrapolation to a long-term forward rate per currency. A liability lilland is added, based on the illiquidity spread that is implicit in NN Group's own asset portfolios.
  • · NN Group expects to use the Cost of Capital (CoC) methodoov to derive the risk adjustment, using NN Group's own specific cost of capital rate and reflecting diversification between risk types and between entities in the group.
  • · NN Group will use each of the transition approaches modified retrospective and for value); due to the long history and limited availability of data, the fair value transition approach will be used significantly for the segment Netherlands Life. The retrospective approaches are more relevant to the international businesses.

lmpact of IFRS 9 and 17 on NN Group

NN Group will implement IFRS 17 together with IFRS 9. NN Group intiated an implementation project and is performing impact assessments and parallel reporting runs. NN Group expects that the implementation of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 will result in significant changes to its accounting policies and will have a significant impact on shareholders' equity, net result, presentation and disclosures. Shareholders' equity under IFRS 9 and 17 will be significantly lower as a result of insurance lidbilities at current assumptions. This will be consistent with the measurement of the associated invested assets that are already mostly measured at fair value.

At this moment it is too early to disclose the quartition as of 2023 as the preparation of the transitional balance sheet, the decisions on key policy choices and the parallel reporting runs are ongoing. Preliminary implementation choices and assumptions that are used in the parallel reporting may change and could significantly impact the final outcome.

Key assumptions, for which final decisions are yet to be taken, and market practices may develop further in the second half of 2022, include the following:

  • · determination of the discount rate for insurance liabilities (including the last liquid point, long term forward my premium)
  • · determination of the risk adjustment (including the cost of capital rate)
  • · determination of fair value and revaluation in OCI of inch retrospective determination of the CSM at transition is not possible

NN Group intends to continue using Operating result as alternative performance measure. The definition of operating result will be amended to reflect the impact of IFRS 17. NN Group does not expect that the implementation of IFRS 9 and 17 will have significant imaged on its Own Funds and the Solvency Capital Requirement under Solvency II, nor on its Operating Capital Generation (OCG).

2 Ukraine

In February 2022, the Russian military build-up on the border of Ukraine escalated tensions between Russia and Ukraine. At the date of this report, Russian troops continue to invade Ukrainians have fled their homes. NN Group does not have business activities in Ukraine or Russia, and NN Group's direct financial exposure to these countries is limited. However, the Russian military actions and the resulting sanctions have adversely affected the global economy and financial markets. Any possible further escalation thereof, might have further adverse impact on the global economy and financial markets and, therefore, NN Group's financial results.

Disposal groups classified as held for sale and discontinued operations

Disposal groups (and groups of nor-current assets) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This is any the sale is highly probable and the disposal group of assets) is available for immediate sale in its present condition; management must be committed to occur within one year from the date of classification as held for sale.

Upon classification as held for sale, the carrying amount of the disposal group (or group of assets) is compared to their fair ralue less cost to sell. If the fair value less cost to sell is lower than the expected loss is recognised through a reduction of the carrying value of any goodwill related to the disposal group or the carrying value of certain other non-financial assets to the extent that the carrying value of those assets exceeds their fair value. Any expected loss over the reduction of the carrying amount of these relevant assets is not recognised upon classification as held for sale, but is recognised as part of the result on disposal if and when a divestment transaction occurs.

Classification into or out of held for sale does not result in restating comparative amounts in the balance sheet.

When a group of assets that is classified as held for sale ar is sold also represents a major line of business or geographical area the disposal group is classified as discontinued operations. In the Consolitated profit and loss account, the result after tow from is reported separately from income and expenses from continuing operations. The informative years is adjusted accordingly. Reference is made to Note 15 'Discontinued operations'.

Alternative Performance Measures (Non-GAAP measures)

NN Group uses three Alternative Performance Measures (APMs, also referred to as Non-GAAP measures) in its external financial reporting: Operating result, Adjusted allocated equity and Administrative expenses.

Operating result

Operating result (before tax) is used by NN Group to evaluate the finance of its segments. Each segment's operating result is calculated by adjusting the reported result before tax for the following items:

  • · Non-operating items: related to (general account) investments that are held for own risk (net of policyholder profit sharing):
    • Gains/Josses and impairments: realised gains and losses as well as impairments on financial assets that are sale and debt securities that are classified as loans. These investments including fixed including fixed income and equity funds), private equity ( < 20% ownership), real estate funds and loans quoted in active markets.
    • Revaluations revaluations on assets market through the Consolidated profit and loss account. These investments include private equity (associates), real estate (property and associates), derivatives unrelated to product hedging programmes (i.e. interest rate swaps, foreign exchange hedges) and direct equity hedges.
    • Market & other impacts these impacts mainly include movements in the liability for guarantees on separats and unit-linked guarantee provisions in the Nethed hedges, the accounting volatility related to the reinsurance of minimum guaranteed benefits of Japan Closed Block VA and the changes in valuation linked liabilities and related derivatives.
  • Special items: items of income or expense before tax that are significant and arise from events or transactions that are clearly distinct from the ordinary business activities and therefore are not expected to reaularly. This includes for example, restructuring expenses, rebranding costs, results related to early redemption of debt, and gains/losses from employee persion plan amendments or curtailments.
  • · Acquisition intangibles and goodwill: At the acquisition dote, all assets and liabilities (including licblities) were remeasured to fair value. Acquisition related intangible assets (mainly brand names, distribution ships) were recognised and will be amortised through the profit and loss account over their useful life. Goodwill on acquisition was also recognised; goodwill is not amortised but tested annually for importisation and goodwill impairment is recognised in the line 'Amortisation of acquisition intangibles and other impairments'.
  • Result on divestments: result before tax related to divested operations.

The operating result for the life insurance business is analysis, which includes the investment margin, fees and premium-based revenues and the technical margin. Disclosures on comparative years also reflect the impact of currents. Operating result as presented below is an Alternative (non-GAAP financial measure) and is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS-EU. Because it is not determined in accordance with IFRS-EU, operating result as presented by NN Group may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The net result on transactions between segments is eliminated in the net result of the relevant segment.

Adjusted allocated equity

NN Group evaluates the efficiency of the operational deployment of its banking operations by calculating Return On Equity (ROE). The net operating ROE is calculated using Net operating result in the numerator and average Adjusted allocated equity in the denominator. Net operating result of NN Group is the Net operating result, adjusted to reflect the dection of the accrued coupon on undated subordinated notes classified in equity. Adjusted allocated equity is derived from IFRS equity by adjusting for:

  • · Revaluation reserves
  • · Undated subordinated notes classified as equity under IFRS
  • · Goodwill and intangible assets recognised as a result of the Delta Lloyd acquisition.

Adjusted allocated equity per segment represents the party that is economically deployed by the segments. This allocation does not impact equity in total for NN Group. Adjusted allocated equity is an Alternative Performance Measure under IFRS-EU. Adjusted allocated equity as applied by NN Group may not be comparable to other companies. Adjusted allocated equity is reconciled to IFRS Total equity as follows:

Adjusted allocated equity

31 December
30 June 2022 2021
IFRS Total equity 21.899 34.918
Revaluation reserves, Goodwill and Intangible assets recognised upon acquisitions -572 -14.925
Undated subordinated notes -1.764 -1.764
Adjusted allocated equity excluding Japan Closed Block VA 19.562 18.229

Administrative expenses

NN Group monitors the level of expenses and assesses cost savings through the Administrative expenses are the expenses included in operating result, unless already included in the technical margin in the margin in the margin and visis of the operating result.

Presented in the Technical margin (claims handling expenses) -68 -63
Presented in the Investment margin (investment expenses) -16 -19
Administrative expenses continuing operations 995 936

Administrative expenses are calculated as the total of IFRS Staff experating expenses, adjusted for expenses already recognised in the technical margin and the investment margin and for expenses that are not included in operating expenses and special items). From the total administrative expenses of EUR 995 million), EUR 500 million (2021: EUR 500 million) relates to the segments Netherlands Life, Insurance Europe Life, Japan Life and Asset Management. The remainder of EUR 495 million (2021: EUR 436 million) is included in the operating result non-life, banking and other.

In addition, NN Group discloses a number of other metrics (that are not defined in regulatory capital legislation). As these are not derived from comparable metrics under IFRS, these cannot be reconciled to an IFRS equivalent. These include the following:

  • · Operating Capital Generation (OCG): NN Group andyses the change in the excess of Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) in the following components: Operation, Market variance, Capital flows and Other. Operating Capital Generation is the movement in the Solvency II surplus (Own Funds before eligibility over SCR at 100%) in the period due to operating items, including the impact of new business, expected investment returns in excess of the risk margin, operating variances, non-life underwriting result, contribution of non-Solvency II entities and holding expenses and the change in the SCR. It excludes economic variances, economic assumption changes and non-operating expenses.
  • · Annual Premium Equivalent (APE): the total of the IFRS annual recurring premiums received in a given period
  • · Combined ratio: the sum of the claims incurred, net of reinsurance, excluding unwind of interest accrual, divided by net earned premiums) and the expense ratio (sum of acquisition costs and administrative expenses, divided by net earned premiums)
  • · Financial leverage ratio: the percentage of financial leverage in the total of financial leverage and equity
  • · Fixed cost coverage ratio the ability of Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBT) to cover funding costs on financial leverage; calculated on a last 12-months basis
  • Free cash flow: the change in the cash capital position at the holding company over the period, excluding acquisitions and capital transactions with shareholders and debtholders
  • Cash capital position at the holding company: net current assets available at the holding company

For the other financial assets and financial linthe table above, including short-term receivables and payables, the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

The estimated fair value represents the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the financial libility would take place between market participants at the balance sheet date (exit price). The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is based on unadjusted quoted market prices, where available. Such quoted market prices are primarily obtained from exchange prices for listed instruments. Where an exchange price is not available from independent market vendors, brokers or market makers. Because substantial trading markets do not exist for all financial instruments, various techniques have been developed to estimate the approximate fair value of financial assets and liablities that are not actively traded. The fair value presented may not be indicative of the net redisable value. In addition, the calculation of the estimated for market conditions at a specific point in time and may not be indicative of the future fair value.

Further information on the methods and assumptions that were used by NN Group to estimate the financial instruments and the sensitivities for changes in these assumptions is disclosed in Note 36 'Fair value of financial assets and liabilities' of the 2021 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts.

Level 1 - (Unadjusted) Quoted prices in active markets

This category includes financial instruments whose is determined directly by reference to published quotes in an active market that NN Group can access. A financial instrument is regarded in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing services represent actual and regularly ocurring market transactions with sufficient frequency and volume to provide reliable pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 - Valuation technique supported by observable inputs

This category includes financial instruments whose is determined using a valuation technique (e.g. a model), where inputs in the model are taken from an active market or are observable the inobservable the instrument is still classified in this category, provided that the impact of those unobservable inputs elements on insignificant. Included in this category are items whose value is derived from quoted prices of similar the prices are modified based on other market observable external data and items whose value is derived from quoted prices but for which there was insufficient evidence of an active market.

Level 3 - Valuation technique supported by unobservable inputs

This category includes financial instruments whose is determined using a valuation technique (e.g. a model) for which more than an insignificant part of the inputs in terms of the overall valuation are not market observable. This category also includes financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is determined by reference to price the market is considered inactive. An instrument is clossfied in its entirety as Level 3 if a significant portion of the value is driven by unobservable inputs. Unobservable in this context means that there is little or no current market data available from which an orderly transaction would likely occur can be derived.

21 Subsequent and other events

Unit-linked products in the Netherlands

Reference is made to Note 45 Legal proceedings' of the 2021 NN Group Annual Accounts for a description of legal proceedings with respect to unit-inked products in the Netherlands. Collective proceedings initiated by Woekerpolis.nl against Nationale-Nederlanden before the Court of Appeal in The Hague resumed. A final judgment in appeal is expected beginning of 2023.

In collective proceedings initiated by Wakkerpolis against Nationale-Nederlanden, the District Court of Rotterdan issued a final judgment in first instance on 20 July 2022. The Court considered that for policies taken out after 1 July 1994, Nationale-Nederlanden has generally complied with its information obligations towards its policyholders, leading to consensus between stemming") on initial costs. Only with respect to policies taken out before 1 July 1994, the Court concluded that Nationale-Nederlanden did not (fully) comply with its information obligations and, therefore, a contractual basis for settling initial costs is absent. NN has to recalculate these policies, as if the initial costs were never incurred, unless consensus between parties on otherwise be established. For premium policies taken out between I July 1994 and 1 August 1999 that were surrendered early or converted into a paid-up policy, the Court ruled that settlement of initial costs upon surrender or conversion was allowed, but that Nationale-Nederanden should of five years instead of a settlement period of five to ten years, if that is more fovourable for the policies taken out in the period 1 August 1999 onwards, the Court found that Nationale-Nederlanden sufficiently informed policyholders of early surrender or conversion into a policy for the value of the policy. Although the judgment is largely in line with Nationale-Nederlanden disagrees with the Court on a number of points and will apped. In the ongoing proceedings against Nationale-Nederlanden, NN Group does not disclose further details on the (potential) financial impact of this judgement.

The judgment of 20 July 2022 mentioned above does not conclusions disclosed by NN Group in relation to unitlinked products in general. Although the financial consequences could be substantial for the Dusiness of NN Group and, as a result, may have a material adverse effect on NN Group's business, results of operations, solvency, financial condition and prospects, it is not possible to reliably estimate or quantify NN Group's overall exposures at this time.

ARN AMRO I ife

In February 2022 NN Group, ABN AMRO Bank and their joint venture ABN AMRO Verzekeringen announced that they have reached an agreement to sell the insurance subsidiary of ABN AMRO Verzekeringen to Nationale-Nederlanden Levensverzekering Maatschappij N.V. (NN Life). ABN AMRO Verzekeringen is a joint venture between NN Group (51%) and ABN AMRO Bank (49%). The life insurance subsidiary of ABN AMRO Verzekeringen is already consolidated by NN Group and, therefore, this transaction will not have significant impact on NN Group. This transaction was completed in July 2022.

Redemption of subordinated notes

On August 11, NN Life announces the early redemption of the outstanding EUR 500 million 9.0% Fixed to flotes due 2042. The notes will be redeemed by NN Life in full at their principal amount together with any interest accrued on their first call date, 29 August 2022.
