1  The at target number of shares which were conditionally granted for the plan year.

2  The allocated number of shares based on the actual performance during the plan year. Per 2017 sign-on shares are not allocated anymore to the plan year(s) in which the vesting takes place. Instead, sign-on shares are allocated in the calendar year of commencement. Allocation to a previous plan year concerns backdated corrections to the administration (e.g. the allocation to the 2016 plan year, during the 2018 calendar year).

3  This is the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Aegon on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange for the period December 15 to January 15. For instance for the 2019 plan year, this is the VWAP for the period December 15, 2018 to January 15, 2019.
