ING’s stake in NN Group falls below 15%

Today ING Group announced that it will exchange the third and final tranche of EUR 337.5 million mandatory exchangeable subordinated notes into 6.9 million ordinary shares in NN Group and cash. The exchange is part of the anchor investment in NN Group by three Asian institutional investors - RRJ Capital, Temasek and SeaTown - as announced on 30 April 2014. This transaction will reduce ING’s remaining stake in NN Group from 16.2% to 14.1% of outstanding shares (net of treasury shares) upon settlement of the transaction, which is expected to take place on 2 February 2016. As a result of this transaction, the Relationship Agreement between NN Group and ING dated 10 June 2014, with the exception of certain specific provisions, will terminate.

As ING’s shareholding in NN Group will drop below 15% following the settlement of this transaction, the appointment of Dick Harryvan and Robert Jenkins as members of NN Group’s Supervisory Board at the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders on 6 October 2015 will become effective as of the settlement date. Dick Harryvan will be a member of the Audit, Nomination and Corporate Governance and Remuneration Committees of the Supervisory Board and Robert Jenkins will be a member of the Risk and the Remuneration Committees.
