THE HAGUE, Netherlands,
June 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Shareholders were given the opportunity to choose between
receiving the 2016 final dividend of
EUR 0.13 per
common share in cash or in stock. The stock dividend and the
cash dividend are approximately equal in value. 46%
of shareholders elected to receive the stock dividend.
Those who elected for a stock dividend will receive one Aegon
common share for every 35 common shares held. The stock fraction is
based on Aegon's average share price as quoted on Euronext
Amsterdam, using the high and low of each of the five trading days
from June 12 up to and including
June 16, 2017. The average share
price calculated on this basis amounted to EUR 4.5254. The dividend will be payable as of
June 23, 2017. Aegon intends to
neutralize the dilutive effect of the stock dividend on earnings
per share.
