AEGON N.V. will waive any right to require a proceeding against AFC before its obligations under the<br />
guarantees of debt securities of AFC shall become effective. There are no limitations under the laws of<br />
the Netherlands or the articles of incorporation of AEGON N.V. on the right of non-residents of the<br />
Netherlands to hold the debt securities issued by AEGON N.V.<br />
Form, Exchange and Transfer<br />
Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus <strong>supplement</strong> or, if applicable, the related<br />
pricing <strong>supplement</strong>, the debt securities of each series will be issuable in fully registered form, without<br />
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.<br />
Unless otherwise specified in the related prospectus <strong>supplement</strong>, or, if applicable, the related<br />
pricing <strong>supplement</strong>, any payments of principal, interest and premium on registered debt securities will<br />
be payable and, subject to the terms of the indenture and the limitations applicable to global securities,<br />
debt securities may be transferred or exchanged, at any office or agency we maintain for such purpose,<br />
without the payment of any service charge except for any applicable tax or governmental charge.<br />
Global Securities<br />
The debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more global certificates that<br />
will be deposited with a depositary identified in a prospectus <strong>supplement</strong> or, if applicable, the related<br />
pricing <strong>supplement</strong>. Unless a global certificate is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in<br />
definitive form, a global certificate may generally be transferred only as a whole and only to the<br />
depositary or to a nominee of the depositary or to a successor depositary or its nominee.<br />
Unless your prospectus <strong>supplement</strong> provides otherwise, the securities will initially be issued to<br />
investors only in book-entry form. We will issue and register in the name of one or more financial<br />
institutions or clearing systems or their nominees, one or more fully registered global certificates,<br />
representing the total aggregate number of securities. A financial institution or clearing system that we<br />
select for the purpose is called the ‘‘depositary’’ for that security. A security will usually have only one<br />
depositary, but it may have more.<br />
Each series of securities will have one or more of the following as the depositaries:<br />
• DTC;<br />
• Euroclear;<br />
• a financial institution holding the securities on behalf of Clearstream, Luxembourg; or<br />
• any other clearing system or financial institution named in the applicable prospectus <strong>supplement</strong>.<br />
The depositaries named above may also be participants in one another’s systems. Thus, for<br />
example, if DTC is the depositary for a global security, investors may hold beneficial interests in that<br />
security through Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as DTC participants. The depositary or<br />
depositaries for your securities will be named in your prospectus <strong>supplement</strong>; if none is named, the<br />
depositary will be DTC.<br />
DTC has provided us the following information, and we take no responsibility for its accuracy.<br />
DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a ‘‘banking<br />
organization’’ within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve<br />
System, a ‘‘clearing corporation’’ within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and<br />
a ‘‘clearing agency’’ registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC<br />
holds securities that its participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among its<br />
participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through<br />
electronic computerized book-entry changes in its participants’ accounts, eliminating the need for<br />
