THE HAGUE, May 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Aegon N.V.'s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) on
May 20, 2015, adopted all resolutions
and proposals on the agenda, including the Annual Accounts for the
2014 financial year and the reappointment of Aegon's CEO,
Alex Wynaendts.
Shareholders approved the final dividend for 2014 of
EUR 0.12 per common share, resulting
in a total dividend for the financial year 2014 of EUR 0.23 per common share. The final dividend
will be paid in cash or stock at the election of the shareholder.
The value of the dividend in common shares will be approximately
equal to the cash dividend. It is Aegon's intention to neutralize
the dilution effect of stock dividend.
The stock fraction for the stock dividend will be based on the
average price of Aegon shares on the Euronext Amsterdam stock
exchange for the five trading days from June
8 to June 12, 2015. The dividend will be payable as of
Friday June 19, 2015.
At the AGM, Alex Wynaendts (1960) was reappointed as Aegon's
CEO, for a third consecutive four-year term. "I am proud to have
been reappointed," said Alex Wynaendts. "In the coming years, we
will continue our transformation to become a truly customer-centric
company, serving the best interest of all Aegon's
stakeholders."
In addition, Aegon shareholders appointed Ben Noteboom, former CEO of Randstad Holding, as
a new member of the Supervisory Board. Leo
van Wijk will retire from the Supervisory Board, having
completed the maximum of three four-year terms. Aegon's Supervisory
Board Chairman Rob Routs commented:
"We thank Leo van Wijk for his
extraordinary contribution and sharing his expertise in various
areas over the past twelve years. Furthermore, we welcome
Ben Noteboom to the company and wish
him every success in his new role."
The full details of the resolutions approved during the AGM will
be published in the AGM Archive on aegon.com.
