Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Amounts in EUR millions, unless otherwise stated

Aegon N.V., incorporated and domiciled in the Netherlands, is a public limited liability share company organized under Dutch law and recorded in the Commercial Register of The Hague under its registered address at Aegonplein 50, 2591 TV The Hague. Aegon N.V. serves as the holding company for the Aegon Group and has listings of its common shares in Amsterdam and New York.

Aegon N.V. (or “the Company”), its subsidiaries and its proportionally consolidated joint ventures (“Aegon” or “the Group”) have life insurance and pensions operations in over twenty countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia and are also active in savings and asset management operations, accident and health insurance, general insurance and to a limit extent banking operations. Headquarters are located in The Hague, the Netherlands. The Group employs approximately 25,000 people worldwide (2011: 25,000).

1. Basis of presentation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at, and for the third quarter ended, September 30, 2012, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim financial reporting’, as adopted by the European Union (EU), and as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). They do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and should therefore be read together with the 2011 consolidated financial statements of Aegon N.V. as included in Aegon’s Annual Report for 2011. Aegon’s Annual Report for 2011 is available on its website (www.aegon.com).

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and those financial instruments (including derivatives) and financial liabilities that have been measured at fair value. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at, and for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012, were approved by the Executive Board on November 7, 2012.

The published figures in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

2. Significant accounting policies

All accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the 2011 consolidated financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board as adopted by the European Union, except for the following accounting policy for compound instruments:

Non-cumulative subordinated notes

Non-cumulative subordinated notes are identified as a compound instrument due to the nature of this financial instrument. For these non-cumulative subordinated notes Aegon has an unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset to settle the coupon payments. The redemption of the principal is however not at the discretion of Aegon and therefore Aegon has a contractual obligation to settle the redemption in cash or another financial asset or through the exchange of financial assets and liabilities at potentially unfavorable conditions for Aegon. Compound instruments are separated into liability components and equity components. The liability component for the non-cumulative subordinated notes is equal to the present value of the redemption amount and carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The liability component is derecognized when the Group’s obligation under the contract expires, is discharged or is cancelled. The equity component is assigned the residual amount after deducting the liability component from the fair value of the instrument as a whole.

Unaudited 7

Table of Contents

Incremental external costs that are directly attributable to the issuing or buying back of the non-cumulative subordinated notes are recognized in either equity or income statement proportionately to the equity component and liability component, net of tax.

Coupon payments and other distributions to holders of the non-cumulative subordinated notes are recognized directly in equity, net of tax. A liability for non-cumulative dividends payable is not recognized until the coupon has been declared and approved.

The following standards, interpretations, amendments to standards and interpretations became effective in 2012:

t Amendment to IFRS 1 First time adoption – Severe Hyperinflation and Removal of Fixed Dates for First Time Adopters.

t Amendment to IFRS 7 Disclosures – Transfers of Financial Assets.

t IAS 12 Income Taxes – Recovery of Tax Assets.

None of these new or revised standards and interpretations had a significant effect on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2012.

Future adoption of new IFRS accounting standards

In June 2011, the revised standard IAS 19 Employee Benefits was issued. The amended standard applies to financial years beginning on, or after, January 1, 2013. The amendments eliminate the option to defer the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, known as the “corridor method”. The amendments streamline the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, including requiring actuarial gains and losses to be presented in other comprehensive income. The revised standard also requires the expected return on plan assets to be replaced by the discount rate used to determine the defined benefit liability. The discount rate shall be determined by reference to market yields at the end of the reporting period on high quality corporate bonds. And, furthermore, the revised standard enhances the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans, providing information about the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities are exposed to through participation in those plans.

As per September 30, 2012, Aegon estimates the adverse impact on equity of removing the corridor to be approximately EUR 1.4 billion (post tax), consisting of the unrecognized actuarial gains and losses as per that date. The deterioration compared to the estimated impact as at December 31, 2011 is largely attributable to declining discount rates. The impact of the revised standard however, will be affected by movements in unrecognised actuarial gains and losses until the effective date, driven by the discount rate as of the effective date, the fair value of plan assets as of the effective date and the impact of other changes in the revised standard. Aegon does not expect any changes in the classification of the employee plans resulting from the revised standard.

For a complete overview of IFRS standards, published before January 1, 2012, that will be applied in future years, but were not early adopted by the Group, refer to Aegon’s Annual Report for 2011.

Taxes

Taxes on income for the first nine months of 2012 are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

Judgements and critical accounting estimates

Preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, including the likelihood, timing or amount of future transactions or events, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from the estimates made.

8 Unaudited

Table of Contents

In preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, significant judgements made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Exchange rates

Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rates on the balance sheet date. Income, expenses and capital transactions (such as dividends) are translated at average exchange rates or at the prevailing rates on the transaction date, if more appropriate. The following exchange rates are applied for the condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

Closing exchange rates

September 30, 2012 1 EUR USD — 1.2865 GBP — 0.7967
December 31, 2011 1 EUR 1.2982 0.8353

Weighted average exchange rates

Non-IFRS measures

For segment reporting purposes the following non-IFRS financial measures are included: underlying earnings before tax, income tax (including associated companies) and income before tax (including associated companies). These non-IFRS measures are calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis the revenues and expenses of Aegon’s associated companies in Spain, India, Brazil and Mexico. Aegon believes that its non-IFRS measures provide meaningful information about the underlying operating results of Aegon’s business, including insight into the financial measures that Aegon’s senior management uses in managing the business.

Among other things, Aegon’s senior management is compensated based in part on Aegon’s results against targets using the non-IFRS measures presented here. While many other insurers in Aegon’s peer group present substantially similar non-IFRS measures, the non-IFRS measures presented in this document may nevertheless differ from the non-IFRS measures presented by other insurers. There is no standardized meaning to these measures under IFRS or any other recognized set of accounting standards and readers are cautioned to consider carefully the different ways in which Aegon and its peers present similar information before comparing them.

Aegon believes the non-IFRS measures shown herein, when read together with Aegon’s reported IFRS financial statements, provides meaningful supplemental information for the investing public to evaluate Aegon’s business after eliminating the impact of current IFRS accounting policies for financial instruments and insurance contracts, which embed a number of accounting policy alternatives that companies may select in presenting their results (i.e. companies can use different local GAAPs to measure the insurance contract liability) and that can make the comparability from period to period difficult.

The reconciliation from underlying earnings before tax to income before tax, being the most comparable IFRS measure, is presented in the tables in this note.

Underlying earnings

Certain assets held by Aegon Americas, Aegon The Netherlands and Aegon UK are carried at fair value and managed on a total return basis, with no offsetting changes in the valuation of related liabilities. These include assets such as investments in hedge funds, private equities, real estate limited partnerships, convertible bonds and structured products. Underlying earnings exclude any over- or underperformance compared to management’s long-term expected return on assets.

Based on current holdings and asset returns, the long-term expected return on an annual basis is 8-10%, depending on asset class, including cash income and market value changes. The expected earnings from these asset classes are net of deferred policy acquisition costs (DPAC) where applicable.

In addition, certain products offered by Aegon Americas contain guarantees and are reported on a fair value basis, including the segregated funds offered by Aegon Canada and the total return annuities and guarantees on variable annuities of Aegon USA. The earnings on these products are impacted by movements in equity markets and risk-free interest rates. Short-term developments in the financial markets may therefore cause volatility in earnings. Included in underlying earnings is a long-term expected return on these products and excluded is any over- or underperformance compared to management’s expected return. The fair value movements of certain guarantees and the fair value change of derivatives that hedge certain risks on these guarantees of Aegon The Netherlands and Variable Annuities Europe (included in New Markets) are excluded from underlying earnings, and the long-term expected return for these guarantees is set at zero.

Holding and other activities include certain issued bonds that are held at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The interest rate risk on these bonds is hedged using swaps. The fair value movement resulting from changes in Aegon’s credit spread used in the valuation of these bonds are excluded from underlying earnings and reported under fair value items.

Table of Contents

Fair value items

Fair value items include the over- or underperformance of investments and guarantees held at fair value for which the expected long-term return is included in underlying earnings. Changes to these long-term return assumptions are also included in the fair value items.

In addition, hedge ineffectiveness on hedge transactions, fair value changes on economic hedges without natural offset in earnings and for which no hedge accounting is applied and fair value movements on real estate are included under fair value items.

Realized gains or losses on investments

Includes realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, mortgage loans and other loan portfolios.

Impairment charges / reversals

Includes impairments and reversals on available-for-sale debt securities and impairments on shares including the effect of deferred policyholder acquisition costs, mortgage loans and loan portfolios on amortized cost and associates respectively.

Other income or charges

Other income or charges is used to report any items which cannot be directly allocated to a specific line of business. Also items that are outside the normal course of business are reported under this heading.

Other charges include restructuring charges that are considered other charges for segment reporting purposes because they are outside the normal course of business. In the condensed consolidated income statement, these charges are included in operating expenses.

Run-off businesses

Includes underlying results of business units where management has decided to exit the market and to run off the existing block of business. Currently, this line includes the run-off of the institutional spread-based business, structured settlements blocks of business, Bank-Owned and Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI/COLI) business and life reinsurance business in the United States. Aegon has other blocks of business for which sales have been discontinued and of which the earnings are included in underlying earnings.

Share in earnings of associates

Earnings from Aegon’s associates in insurance companies in Spain, India, Brazil and Mexico are reported on an underlying earnings basis. Other associates are included on a net income basis.

The decrease in goodwill is attributable to a decrease of an earn out provision resulting in a write off of goodwill, partly offset by positive foreign currency effects. The reason for this treatment is that, according to Aegon’s accounting policies, any changes in the estimated value of an earn out provision related to a business combination that dates prior to July 1, 2008, are recognized in goodwill. The decrease in value of business acquired (VOBA) is mainly attributable to regular amortization and the impact of shadow accounting partly offset by positive foreign currency effects.

15. Derivatives

In the first quarter of 2012, Aegon The Netherlands entered into a derivative to partially hedge its longevity risk. The derivative, with a notional amount of EUR 12 billion, becomes in the money if—in 2032—realized mortality rates are more than 7.5% lower than predefined mortality tables. The derivative is measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IAS 39. The value of the longevity derivative is calculated using an internal model as there is no active market for this type of derivative.

The movements in derivative balances mainly result from changes in market conditions.

16. Reinsurance assets

In the second quarter of 2012, Aegon USA reinsured approximately EUR 1.2 billion of fixed annuities on a quota share basis resulting in an increase of reinsurance assets.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the average number of shares outstanding for share options. In 2012 and 2011 the average share price did not exceed the exercise price of these options. As a result diluted earnings per share do not differ from basic earnings per share.

Dividend per common share

For 2012, an interim dividend of EUR 0.10 per common share was declared by the company. The interim dividend was paid in cash or stock at the election of the shareholder. The interim dividend was payable as of September 14, 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, a final dividend of EUR 0.10 per common share was paid relating to the second half year of 2011. The dividend per common share paid in 2011 (final 2010 and interim 2011) was nil.

19. Other equity instruments

The securities have a stated maturity of 30 years, however Aegon has the right to call the securities for redemption at par for the first time on the first coupon date in 2017, or on any coupon payment date thereafter.

The interest cash flows on substantially all of these securities has been swapped to an EURIBOR based interest rate to reduce the exposure to interest rate changes.

These notes are recognized as a compound instrument due to the nature of this financial instrument. Compound instruments are separated into equity components and liability components.

Commercial paper, Short term deposits and Bank overdrafts vary with the normal course of business.

22. Commitments and contingencies

In the second quarter of 2012, Aegon decided to bring forward the measures related to the agreement announced on July 13, 2009 and reduce future costs for its customers with unit-linked insurance policies. With these measures, Aegon commits to ‘best of class’ principles of the Dutch Ministry of Finance. Previously, Aegon’s approach was to settle compensation with clients when the policy expires. However, to comply with the Ministry’s principles, Aegon will now settle compensation immediately by making direct additions to policy values before year-end 2012. As a result of this acceleration of previously announced measures, Aegon has recorded a charge of EUR 265 million before tax in the second quarter of 2012 included in Claims and Benefits.

In addition, Aegon will reduce future policy costs beginning in 2013 onward for the large majority of its unit-linked insurance policies. This will decrease income before tax over the remaining duration of the policies by approximately EUR 125 million, based on the current present value.

There have been no other material changes in contingent assets and liabilities as reported in the 2011 consolidated financial statements of Aegon.

23. Acquisitions / Divestments

There were no significant acquisitions or divestments during the first nine months of 2012.

24. Events after the balance sheet date

On October 1, 2012, Aegon closed the sale of its interest in Prisma Capital Partners LP (“Prisma”) to KKR. Prisma, which is accounted for as an associate, served as an investment manager for certain of Aegon’s hedge fund investments as well as for other third parties. The sale proceeds received on the closing date amount to USD 130 million and is subject to certain contingent arrangements which may lead to further payments in 2014 and 2017 based on whether the Prisma business grows to achieve certain operating performance metrics when measured in such years. In addition Prisma and Aegon agreed to keep the base management fees associated with Aegon’s accounts managed by these limited partnerships at a certain level for each of 5 years (July 2, 2012 to July 1, 2013, and each annual period thereafter until July 1, 2017). The commitment penalizes for Aegon withdrawals from the fund. Drops in revenue due to market fluctuations do not trigger the commitment. The contingent revenue commitment will be monitored continuously until July 1, 2017. The carrying value of Prisma as at September 30, 2012 was EUR 2 million. The sale will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Aegon’s share in Prisma earnings for the first nine months of 2012 amounted to EUR 8 million (full year 2011: EUR 13 million).

Following the announced merger between Banca Cívica and CaixaBank in Spain, Aegon reached an agreement, on August 3, 2012, with CaixaBank to end the life, health and pension partnership with Banca Cívica and sell its 50% interest in the joint ventures to CaixaBank for a total consideration of EUR 190 million. The transaction was closed on October 11, 2012 after obtaining regulatory approval. The sale is expected to result in a book gain of approximately EUR 35 million before tax and will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012. Aegon’s share in underlying earnings before tax of the joint venture totaled EUR 13 million for the first nine months of 2012 (full year 2011: EUR 16 million).
