Today the Initial Public Offering of NN Group N.V. was settled. As a result of the settlement, ING Group has received EUR 2.0 billion in gross proceeds from the sale of 77 million existing ordinary shares in NN Group and the exchange into NN Group ordinary shares of EUR 450 million in mandatorily exchangeable notes. Consequently, ING's ownership of NN Group has been reduced to 71.4%.

ING has granted the joint global coordinators, on behalf of the underwriters, an over-allotment option to purchase up to approximately 11.6 million additional shares in NN Group (up to 15% of the offer shares) at the offer price of EUR 20.00. The over-allotment option can be exercised until 30 days after 2 July 2014. If this option is fully exercised, ING's ownership in NN Group will be further reduced to 68.1%. ING intends to divest its remaining stake in NN Group in an orderly manner and ultimately by year end-2016.

NN Group shares were listed and started trading on Euronext Amsterdam (on an if-and-when-delivered basis) on 2 July 2014 . As of today, the shares are traded unconditionally under the listing name 'NN Group' and the symbol 'NN'.
