Impairment loss
Upon classification as held for sale, the carrying amount of Aegon the Netherlands is compared to the fair value less cost to sell, which is estimated by reference to the fair value of the consideration to which Aegon N.V. is entitled under the terms and conditions of the sales agreement. The fair value less cost to sell is lower than the carrying value and this impairment loss is recognized through a reduction of the carrying value of Aegon the Netherlands. The table below shows the calculated impairment loss.
The impairment loss is recalculated at each reporting date until closing date of the transaction, as both the fair value of the consideration to be received and the carrying value of Aegon the Netherlands are subject to change. The consideration to be received includes a 29.99% stake in a.s.r. and is therefore contingent on the development of the a.s.r. share price. The carrying amount of Aegon the Netherlands will continue to be updated for assets and liabilities which are not included in the measurement scope of IFRS 5. Furthermore, Aegon the Netherlands’s carrying amount will be impacted by the adoption of IFRS 9 “Financial instruments” and IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” per January 1, 2023. As a consequence, the cumulative impairment loss that is recognized at the final disposal date will differ from the estimate calculated below.
The impairment loss takes into account contingent payables and receivables between Aegon N.V. and Aegon the Netherlands that will be recognized prior to the closing date. These are included in the carrying amount of Aegon the Netherlands.

Temporary exemption from applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
By qualifying for and electing the temporary exemption for IFRS 9, the IFRS 4 amendment requires certain additional disclosures; specifically, Aegon the Netherlands is required to disclose information to enable users of financial statements to compare insurers applying the temporary exemption with entities applying IFRS 9. This information is presented below:
Fair value changes
The table below presents an overview of the fair value of the classes of financial assets as of December 31, 2022, as well as the change in fair value during the reporting period. The asset classes are divided into two categories:
SPPI: assets of which cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on an outstanding principal amount, excluding any financial assets that meet the definition of held for trading in IFRS 9, or that are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis; and
Other: all financial assets other than those specified in SPPI:
 
with contractual terms that do not give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding;
 
that meet the definition of held for trading in IFRS 9; or
 
that are managed and whose performance are evaluated on a fair value basis.

The SPPI-compliant shares include preferred equity instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents, deposits with financial institutions, and receivables all pass the SPPI test and are held at amortized cost, whereby the amortized cost is assumed to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the assets.
Credit Risk
The table below details the credit risk rating grades for Aegon the Netherlands, as of December 31, 2022, for financial assets with cash flows that are SPPI, excluding any financial assets that meet the definition of held for trading in IFRS 9, or that are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis.

Excluding investment contracts with discretionary participating features.
The maturity analysis below shows the remaining contractual maturities of each category of financial liabilities (including coupon interest) of Aegon the Netherlands.
To manage the liquidity risk arising from financial liabilities, Aegon the Netherlands holds liquid assets comprising cash and cash equivalents and investment grade investment securities for which there is an active and liquid market. These assets can be readily sold to meet liquidity requirements. For this reason, Aegon the Netherlands believes that it is not necessary to disclose a maturity analysis in respect of these assets to enable users to evaluate the nature and extent of liquidity risk.

The liability amount in the table reflects the discounting for interest as well as adjustments for the timing of other factors as described above. As a result, the sum of the cash benefit payments shown for all years in the table exceeds the corresponding liability amounts included in Insurance contracts and Investments contracts.
 
The following table details Aegon the Netherlands liquidity analysis for its derivative financial instruments, based on the undiscounted contractual net cash inflows and outflows on derivative instruments that settle on a net basis, and the undiscounted gross inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement.

Derivatives includes all financial derivatives regardless whether they have a positive or a negative value. It does not include bifurcated embedded derivatives. These are presented together with the host contract. For interest rate derivatives only, cash flows related to the pay leg are taken into account for determining the gross undiscounted cash flows.
Income tax
The income tax of Aegon the Netherlands is calculated against the enacted applicable tax rate and includes a
one-time
tax charge of EUR 454 million related to the anticipated settlement of a tax position in connection with the transaction with a.s.r.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and demand balances held at the Dutch Central Bank. The Dutch Central Bank requires Aegon Bank N.V. to place 1% of their deposits with agreed maturity or the savings accounts (without restrictions to withdraw their money) in an account with the Dutch Central Bank. These deposits are not freely available. This
so-called
minimum reserve is renewed each maintenance period consisting of approximately six weeks. At
year-end
2022, the interest of 2.5% is received on this minimum reserve (2021: No interest was paid on this minimum reserve). The
year-end
minimum required balance on deposit by the Dutch Central Bank was EUR 82 million (2021: EUR 74 million, 2020: EUR 84 million).
Insurance contracts
At December 31, 2022, the liability adequacy test (LAT) of Aegon the Netherlands resulted in a net LAT deficit of EUR 171 million, compared to a net LAT deficit of EUR 2.243 million at December 31, 2021. The reduction of the net LAT deficit is recorded in the income statement. The improvement of the net LAT deficit is driven by market movements, mainly by increased interest rates and widening credit spreads. This was partly offset by unfavorable model and assumptions updates.
As a result of the current deficit, changes in the LAT of Aegon the Netherlands, triggered by up or down movements in interest rates and credit spreads, are directly recognized in the income statement. The net result is less sensitive to interest rate movements as the results from interest rate hedging are also recognized in net result. Furthermore, the impact from increasing interest rates or tightening credit spreads on result before tax is capped to the net LAT deficit position.
The estimated sensitivities including Aegon the Netherlands on shareholders’ equity and on net result, for up and down shocks for bond credit spreads, mortgage spreads and liquidity premium for general account insurance liabilities are disclosed in note
34 Insurance contracts.
Guarantees in insurance contracts
Aegon the Netherlands provides guarantees to its customers on expiry date for certain insurance contracts. In order to mitigate the risks related to the guarantees Aegon the Netherlands has setup a hedging program. Aegon the Netherlands does not use reinsurance in order to mitigate risks related to insurance contracts with a guarantee component
Minimum investment return guarantees in the Netherlands
The traditional life and pension products offered by Aegon in the Netherlands include various products that accumulate a cash value. Premiums are paid by customers at inception or over the term of the contract. The accumulation products pay benefits on the policy maturity date, subject to survival of the insured. In addition, most policies also pay death benefits if the insured dies during the term of the contract. The death benefits may be stipulated in the policy or depend on the gross premiums paid to date. Premiums and amounts insured are established at inception of the contract. The amount insured can be increased as a result of profit sharing, if provided for under the terms and conditions of the product. Minimum interest guarantees exist for all
generations of traditional accumulation products written. Older generations contain a 4% guarantee; in 1999 the guarantee decreased to 3% and in 2013 the guarantee decreased to 0%.
The traditional group pension contracts offered by Aegon in the Netherlands include large group insurance contracts that have an individually determined asset investment strategy underlying the pension contract. The guarantee given is that the profit sharing is the minimum of 0% and the realized return on an asset portfolio specified in the policy conditions, adjusted for technical interest rates ranging from 3% to 4%. If the adjusted return is negative, the 0% minimum is effective, but the loss in any given year is carried forward to be offset against any future surpluses within the contract period. In general, a guarantee is given for the life of the underlying employees so that their pension benefit is guaranteed. Large group contracts also share technical results (mortality risk and disability risk). The contract period is typically five years and the premiums are fixed over this period.
These guarantees are valued at fair value and are included as part of insurance liabilities with the underlying host insurance contracts in note 34 Insurance contracts.
The following table provides information on the liabilities for guarantees that are included in the valuation of the host contracts, net of the present value of the expected future premiums that are received to cover these guarantees:

Defined benefit plans
Aegon the Netherlands has a number of defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plans are subject to Dutch Pension regulations and governed by the Board of Directors of Aegon the Netherlands. The Board of Directors has the full power and discretion to administer the plan including developing investment policy and managing assets for the plans (although these assets do not qualify as ‘plan assets’ as defined by IFRS), deciding questions related to eligibility and benefit amounts, and any disputes that may arise from plan participants and for complying with the plan provisions, and legal requirements related to the plan and its operation. Aegon the Netherlands runs, in principle, full actuarial and investment risk regarding the defined benefit plans. This includes the risks of low interest rates, low returns and increased longevity. A part of this risk can be attributed to plan participants by lowering indexation or by increasing employee contributions.
Furthermore, the specific statutory requirements governing the administration of group pension schemes have been laid down in the Pension Act (Pensioenwet / Pw). Insurers are subject to prudential supervision pursuant to the Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht / Wft).
Investment strategies are established based on asset and liability studies. The overall goal is to maximize total investment returns to provide sufficient funding for the present and anticipated future benefit obligations within the constraints of a prudent level of portfolio risk. These studies use for example return objectives and various investment instruments. Investment restrictions are updated regularly and they result in asset allocation mix and hedges.
As at December 31, 2019, Aegon the Netherlands amended the defined benefit pension plan for their own employees. As of January 1, 2020, the defined benefit pension plan is closed for new members and there will be no further accrual of benefits to existing members. Entitlements before January 1, 2020, will remain unchanged and the indexation for those accruals will remain in force.
The contributions to the retirement benefit plan of Aegon the Netherlands are paid by both the employees and the employer, with the employer contribution being variable. Aegon the Netherlandsdeducts employee contributions from the total pension expenses. The benefits covered are retirement benefits, disability, death and survivor pension. The defined benefit plans were unfunded by EUR 2,421 million at December 31, 2022 (2021: EUR 3,409 million). The defined benefit plans are largely backed by investment, although these assets do not qualify as ‘plan assets’ as defined by IFRS. The average remaining duration of the defined benefits obligation is 14.3 years (2021: 20.9 years).
Aegon the Netherlands also has a post-retirement medical plan that contributes to the health care coverage of employees and beneficiaries after retirement. For this plan, Aegon the Netherlands has the responsibility to administer the plan in accordance with its terms, and decides on questions related to eligibility and determines plan provisions and benefit amounts. In addition, Aegon the Netherlands has the obligation to interpret the provisions of the plans, and to comply with any statutory reporting and disclosure requirements. Finally, Aegon the Netherlands reviews the terms of the plans and makes changes to the plans if and when appropriate. The liabilities related to these other post-employment benefit plans are fully unfunded and amount to EUR 41 million at December 31, 2022 (2021: EUR 57 million). The weighted average duration of the other post-employment benefit plans is 10.2 years (2021: 12.7 years).
The principal actuarial assumptions that apply for the year-ended December 31 are as follows:

The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in one assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period) has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligation recognized within the statement of financial position.

As part of Aegon’s mortgage loan funding program in the Netherlands, EUR 5.0 billion (2021: EUR 5.1 billion) has been pledged as security for notes issued (refer to section on Borrowings in this note). The notes of SAECURE 17 and SAECURE 19 are held intercompany and are eliminated against the notes issued by the special purpose entity (SPE) in the consolidation process. Per December 31, 2022, as part of SAECURE 17, EUR 600 million has been posted as collateral with respect to the longevity reinsurance contract with Canada Life Reinsurance (2021: EUR 600 million) and EUR 295 million has been posted as collateral with respect to the longevity reinsurance contract with RGA. The notes from SAECURE 19 are European Central Bank eligible retained notes and therefore generated increased liquidity capacity.
Offsetting, enforceable master netting arrangements and similar agreements
