Regulated information - Ageas organises Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of ageas SA/NV

Ageas is organising an Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting in Brussels on 19 March 2012.

The following documents in relation to this Extraordinary General Meeting will be published on Friday 17 February on the Ageas website, www.ageas.com:

• the convening notice, the specimen proxy form and the agenda of the Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting of ageas SA/NV;
• a special report from the Board of Directors of ageas SA/NV drawn up in accordance with Article 604 of the Companies Code.

Based on past experience, this Meeting is unlikely to attain the required attendance quorum – i.e. that at least 50% of the capital must be represented – and thus this Meeting will not be able to decide validly. Official information on this will be published on 14 March 2012 together with an invitation to the Ordinary and Extraordinary Meetings of Shareholders of ageas SA/NV to be held on Wednesday 25 April 2012.
