1 Introduction and purpose

1.1 These Variable Compensation Plan Rules (the Plan Rules) are intended to provide for Variable Compensation in the form of cash and / or Shares to eligible Executive Board members of Aegon N.V. to strengthen their commitment to the Company’s business strategy, risk tolerance and long-term performance, as further set out in the Remuneration Framework or any other arrangements applicable to Participants.

1.2 These Plan Rules are subject to the terms and conditions of the Remuneration Framework and the Remuneration policy and/or other arrangements regarding variable compensation that may apply to the Participant.

1.3 In the event of any discrepancies or inconsistencies between these Plan Rules and the Remuneration Framework, including the Remuneration Policy, the latter shall prevail.

1.4 In these Plan Rules, unless the context otherwise requires, the capitalized words and expressions shall have the meaning as set forth in the list of Definitions.

2 Conditional Grant Variable Compensation

2.1 The Company may conditionally grant a Participant a conditional entitlement to Variable Compensation.

2.2 A conditional entitlement to Variable Compensation will only be made to a Participant upon acceptance of these Plan Rules. The Participant will sign an Agreement offered by the Company to such effect.

2.3 A Participant who becomes an employee of the company during the Plan Year, and who has signed an Agreement during the first six months of the Plan Year, may be granted a conditional entitlement to Variable Compensation which shall be on a pro rata basis to reflect the period of active service. Any deviations from this pro-rata principle and any Grants made upon employment at a later stage during the Plan Year will require prior approval of the Company.

2.4 In accordance with clause 4.3 of these Plan Rules, 50% of the Variable Compensation may be paid in Shares. The number of Shares to which a Participant will be conditionally entitled shall be calculated by dividing the relevant percentage (50%) of the Variable Compensation by the Grant Price and the outcome shall be rounded down to the nearest share. Any changes in the Fixed Salary during the Plan Year may have an impact on the Variable Compensation, to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

2.5. The Variable Compensation is conditionally granted and the conditional right to Variable Compensation is subject to the conditions precedent (i) that, unless stated otherwise or approved by the Company, the Participant will remain employed within the Aegon Group uninterruptedly until the Vesting Date of each part of the Variable Compensation, (ii) that the minimum levels of the Performance Indicators are achieved, as further set out in clause 4.1 of these Plan Rules and (iii) an Ex-ante and an Ex-post Malus assessment as set out in clauses 4.5 and 4.6 of these Plan Rules have been carried out.

5

2.6 The employment of the Participant is considered continued uninterruptedly in the case where the Participant’s employment is terminated due to long-term ill health, disability, (early) retirement, death or reduction of work force or redundancy of the job or position of the Participant without cause by the Participant, during the period until a Vesting Date and, consequently, such Participant is considered to be a “Good Leaver”. In addition, the Company may, at its full discretion, declare a Participant to be a Good Leaver. Long term ill health, disability and (early) retirement shall have the meaning as defined under the applicable rules and regulations within Aegon, or in the absence thereof, as determined under the applicable local laws and regulations. In case of any unclarity on whether the Participant qualifies as a Good Leaver, the Company in its sole discretion will decide.

2.7 In the event of termination of employment of a Good Leaver during the Plan Year, in principle, the Variable Compensation that shall be paid-out (including the number of conditionally granted Shares that shall Vest) shall be pro-rated to reflect the period of active service from the Grant Date until the termination of employment, subject to the final approval of the Company. The Variable Compensation that shall be paid out (including the number of conditionally granted Shares that shall Vest) shall be determined and paid out in accordance with clause 4 of these Plan Rules after the adoption of the Annual Report at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, subject to any Holding Period.

2.8 The Grant Date will be 1 January 2013, irrespectively whether the amount and/or value of the conditional Variable Compensation and/or the Performance Indicators will be set later.

3 Performance Indicators

3.1 The Performance Indicators applicable to the Plan Year have been or shall be established by the Company in accordance with the guidelines of the Remuneration Framework, including the Remuneration Policy, and shall be based on financial and non-financial targets. In the process of setting and evaluating Performance Indicators and targets used for the determination of Variable Compensation, relevant experts from control functions shall be consulted or involved.

3.2 The Performance Indicators may consist of Group Indicators and Strategic / Functional / Personal Indicators which represent both financial and non-financial Indicators. Strategic / Functional / Personal Indicators shall be selected for a Participant individually and shall be provided to the Participant in writing.

3.3 One-year minimum, target and maximum levels relating to the Performance Year will be set for each Performance Indicator.

4 Allocation, Vesting, Pay-out and Release of Variable Compensation

4.1 After the Performance Year, the Company shall assess the realized performance of each Performance Indicator and a comparison will be made between the minimum, target and maximum levels of the Performance Indicators and the realized performance. Subsequently, the amount of Variable Compensation (including the number of Shares) that will be Allocated will be established.

6

4.2 The following applies to Allocated Variable Compensation (if any), and subject to the Ex-ante risk-based assessment and the Ex-post Malus assessment referred to in clauses 4.5 and 4.6:

4.2.1 all Allocated Variable Compensation and subsequent Vesting according to the applicable Vesting Schedule, will be made in cash and in Shares.

4.2.2 part of the Allocated Variable Compensation in cash, if any (the Upfront Part in Cash) shall Vest and shall be paid out as soon as possible after the adoption of the Company’s Annual Report relating to the Plan Year at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

4.2.3 part of the Allocated Variable Compensation in Shares, if any (the Upfront Part in Shares) shall Vest as soon as possible after the adoption of the Company’s Annual Report relating to the Plan Year at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders and shall be Released after a further Holding Period as set out in clause 5.4.

4.2.4 the remaining part of the Allocated Variable Compensation, if any (the Deferred Part) shall be deferred and shall Vest in the subsequent financial years according to the applicable Vesting Schedule. The cash part shall be paid out as soon as possible after the adoption of the Company’s Annual Report relating to these subsequent financial year(s) at the respective Annual General Meetings of Shareholders and the Share part shall be Released after a further Holding Period as set out in clause 5.4.

4.3 Any details as referred to in clause 4.2 regarding (i) the amount of Allocated Variable Compensation, including the allotment in cash and / or Shares, (ii) the Pay-out (vesting) of the Upfront Part, (iii) the Vesting Schedule relating to the Deferred Part and related Pay-out and Release of such Deferred Variable Compensation and (iv) any Holding Period (if applicable), will be notified to the Participant in writing.

4.4 Except in the event a Participant is a Good Leaver, the Variable Compensation that is conditionally granted will become null and void on the date that the employment of the Participant is terminated prior to a Vesting Date of the Upfront Part or a Deferred Part.

4.5 The Allocation of any part of the Variable Compensation is subject to an Ex-ante risk-based assessment by the Company in order to determine whether conditionally granted Variable Compensation should be Allocated in full or should be Allocated applying a downwards adjustment. This Ex-ante risk-based assessment will be applied in order to:

(i) ensure that the projected Variable Compensation is aligned with the risk profile of the Aegon Group;

(ii) provide a perspective on the long-term financial and risk effects of the equity element of Variable Compensation;

(iii) take into account quantitative and qualitative Aegon Group and individual factors mitigating performance results.

7

4.6 The Vesting of any Deferred Part of the Variable Compensation is subject to an Ex-post Malus assessment by the Company in order to determine whether conditionally granted Variable Compensation should Vest in full or should be adjusted. This Ex-post Malus assessment shall be based on informed judgment by the Company, taking into account significant and exceptional circumstances as well as risk outcomes that were not (sufficiently) reflected in the initially applied Performance Indicators and initial assessment of the Company’s and individual performance at the time of Allocation. Implementation of this authority will be on the basis of criteria such as, but not limited to:

(i) outcome of a re-assessment of the performance against the original financial Performance Indicators;

(ii) significant downturn in the Company’s financial performance;

(iii) evidence of misbehavior or serious error by the Participant;

(iv) significant failure in risk management;

(v) significant changes in the Company’s economic or regulatory capital base.

4.7 Depending on the outcome of the Ex-post Malus assessment, the Company shall decide to (i) establish that the relevant Deferred Part of the Variable Compensation shall become unconditional and shall Vest or (ii) adjust the relevant Deferred Part of the Variable Compensation and decide that the Deferred Part shall only partially Vest (including the possible outcome that no Deferred Part of the Variable Compensation shall become unconditional and Vest).

4.8 The Company shall review these Ex-ante risk-based and Ex-post Malus assessment criteria in detail at each Allocation and Vesting Date and document its findings. Relevant experts from control functions shall be consulted or involved in this review process if required or desirable.

4.9 Any adjustment resulting from the Ex-post Malus risk-based assessment shall only be applied on the Deferred Part of the Variable Compensation, not on the Fixed Salary or the Upfront Part of the Variable Compensation. The adjustment may only be made downwards.

4.10 The Company shall be authorized, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, to reclaim (‘Claw Back’) any Variable Compensation (whether Vested, Paid-out or Released) to the Participant in case of:

(i) incorrect data (including non-achievement of Performance Indicators on hindsight);

(ii) material financial restatements ¹;

(iii) individual gross misconduct of the Participant;

(iv) an instruction or request by a regulator to the Company to apply the Claw Back or to apply other measures, which will be deemed to be serious grounds (zwaarwegend belang) for the Company to comply with such instruction or request; or

(v) other circumstances as determined in applicable legislation from time to time.

1    Not resulting from mandatory restatements resulting from changes in IFRS and other applicable financial reporting regulations.

8

4.11 In the event of a Claw Back, the Company will determine the gross amount in cash that is subject to Claw Back. All or part of the Paid out, Vested or Released Variable Compensation that is subject to Claw Back will need to be repaid by the Participant at first demand by the Company as a gross amount in cash, and the entitlement on all or part of the Variable Compensation that is Vested and not yet Paid-out or Released that is subject to Claw Back will lapse, whereby any Shares will be taken into account for the Grant Price. The Company will be entitled to set-off or settle any gross amount owed by the Participant to the Company (i) by any current or future obligations if possible (including but not limited to any salary payments or pension payments) that the Company has against the Participant and/or (ii) against any Allocated and/or Vested but not yet Paid-out or Released Variable Compensation, whereby any Shares will be taken into account for the Grant Price. If and to the extent the Company does not exercise the set-off or settlement right, the Participant will repay the gross amounts due in cash as soon as possible upon instructions of the Company.

4.12 The Company shall inform the Participant as soon as possible of the outcome of the Ex-ante, Ex-post Malus and Claw Back assessment and its decision. The Participant shall have no claim for damages or compensation against the Company or a Subsidiary for any consequences (whether financial, tax, governmental, personal or other consequences) following the Ex-ante, Ex-post Malus or Claw Back assessments resulting in the Variable Compensation being adjusted downwards.

4.13 The Company may, in its sole discretion, direct the Supervisory Board of Aegon N.V. to determine whether any further action may be necessary with respect to the Ex-post Malus and Claw Back assessment for any local circumstances.

4.14 No dividend or interest will accrue on any part of the Variable Compensation before Vesting in accordance with these Plan Rules.

4.15 Vested Shares, subject to a Holding Period as set out in clause 5.4, will accrue dividends as from the Vesting Date, which dividend will be equal to the amount of dividends declared on the Company’s Shares. Accrued dividends will be paid out in Shares at the Release Date, unless the Company determines the dividends on the Shares granted under these Plan Rules to be paid out in cash or in cash and/or Shares at the option of the Participant. The Company may determine the form of dividend to be paid on the Shares granted under these Plan Rules annually in its sole discretion and irrespectively of the form of dividend to be paid on Shares held by other shareholders.

4.16 In connection with any actual or potential Sale or Change of Control or a transaction concerning the sale of a Subsidiary or business unit within Aegon Group, the Company will take all such actions hereunder as it may determine to be necessary or appropriate to treat Participants equal and equitably hereunder, at the discretion of the Supervisory Board, including without limitation the modification or waiver of applicable Performance Indicators, and whether to establish or fund another arrangement intended for variable incentives.
