DEBT SECURITIES OF AEGON N.V. AND AFC<br />

Withholding tax<br />

All payments made by AEGON N.V. under the debt securities may be made free of withholding or<br />

deduction under the Netherlands Dividend Tax Act 1965 (Wet op de dividendbelasting 1965) for any<br />

taxes of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, withheld or assessed by the Netherlands or any political<br />

subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, provided that the debt securities do not in fact<br />

function as equity of the Issuer within the meaning of article 10, paragraph 1, under d of the<br />

Netherlands Corporate Income Tax Act 1969 (Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969).<br />

All payments made by AFC under the debt securities may be made free of withholding or<br />

deduction for any taxes of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, withheld or assessed by the Netherlands<br />

or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.<br />

Corporate and individual income tax<br />

Residents of the Netherlands. If a holder is resident or deemed to be resident of the Netherlands<br />

for Netherlands tax purposes and is fully subject to Netherlands corporate income tax or is only subject<br />

to Netherlands corporate income tax in respect of its enterprise to which the debt securities are<br />

attributable, income derived from the debt securities and gains realized upon the redemption,<br />

settlement or disposal of the debt securities are generally taxable in the Netherlands.<br />

If an individual holder is resident or deemed to be resident of the Netherlands for Netherlands tax<br />

purposes (including the individual holder who has opted to be taxed as a resident of the Netherlands),<br />

income derived from the debt securities and gains realized upon the redemption, settlement or disposal<br />

of the debt securities are taxable at the progressive rates of the Netherlands income tax act 2001 (Wet<br />

op de inkomstenbelasting 2001), if:<br />

(i) the holder has an enterprise or an interest in an enterprise, to which enterprise the debt<br />

securities are attributable; or<br />

(ii) such income or gains qualify as income from miscellaneous activities (resultaat uit overige<br />

werkzaamheden), which include the performance of activities with respect to the debt securities<br />

that exceed regular, active portfolio management (normaal, actief vermogensbeheer).<br />

If neither condition (i) nor condition (ii) applies to the individual holder of the debt securities,<br />

taxable income with regard to the debt securities must be determined on the basis of a deemed return<br />

on income from savings and investments (sparen en beleggen), rather than on the basis of income<br />

actually received or gains actually realised. At present, this deemed return on income from savings and<br />

investments has been fixed at a rate of 4% of the average of the individual’s yield basis<br />

(rendementsgrondslag) at the beginning of the calendar year and the individual’s yield basis at the end<br />

of the calendar year, insofar as the average exceeds a certain threshold. The average of the individual’s<br />

yield basis is determined as the fair market value of certain qualifying assets held by the holder of the<br />

debt securities less the fair market value of certain qualifying liabilities on 1 January and 31 December,<br />

divided by two. The fair market value of the debt securities will be included as an asset in the<br />

individual’s yield basis. The deemed return on income from savings and investments of 4% will be<br />

taxed at a rate of 30 per cent.<br />

Non-residents of the Netherlands. If a holder is not a resident nor deemed to be a resident of the<br />

Netherlands for Netherlands tax purposes (nor has opted to be taxed as a resident of the Netherlands),<br />

such holder is not taxable in respect of income derived from the debt securities and gains realized upon<br />

the settlement, redemption or disposal of the debt securities, unless:<br />

(i) the holder has an enterprise or an interest in an enterprise that is, in whole or in part, carried<br />

on through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in the Netherlands to<br />
