NN Group has settled the Shares tendered in the Offer Period
Remaining Shares can still be tendered in the Post Closing Acceptance Period

Reference is made to the joint press release by NN Group and Delta Lloyd dated 2 February 2017 regarding the publication of the Offer Memorandum for the recommended public cash offer by the Offeror to all holders of issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the capital of Delta Lloyd (the 'Shares') to acquire their Shares at a price of EUR 5.40 (cum dividend) in cash for each Share (the 'Offer'). Further reference is made to the joint press release dated 7 April 2017 regarding the declarations of no objection from the Dutch Central Bank (DNB), the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) and the European Central Bank (ECB), and the competition clearance from the European Commission, and the joint press release dated 7 April 2017 on the results of the Offer Period and in which the Offer was declared unconditional.

NN Group and Delta Lloyd jointly announce that the Offeror has, following Settlement, acquired 79.9% of the Shares. The Combined Company will move forward as a leading player in insurance and pensions in the Dutch market, with a strong market position in Belgium, as well as provide an attractive offering in asset management and banking products.

Now that the acquisition is completed, NN Group and Delta Lloyd will start the integration process. NN Group and Delta Lloyd will align and integrate their operations in the Netherlands and Belgium, to fully benefit from the additional scale, capabilities, combined reach and resources. This will result in an overall stronger platform from which to provide enhanced customer propositions and generate shareholder return. The integration will be led by the NN Group Management Board.

Post Closing Acceptance Period
The Offeror grants those holders of Shares who have not yet tendered their Shares under the Offer the opportunity to tender their Shares, under the same terms and conditions applicable to the Offer, in a post closing acceptance period (na-aanmeldingstermijn) which commenced at 09:00 hours CET on 10 April 2017 and will expire at 17:40 hours CET on 21 April 2017 (the 'Post Closing Acceptance Period').

During the Post Closing Acceptance Period, shareholders have no right to withdraw Shares from the Offer, regardless of whether their Shares have been validly tendered (or defectively tendered, provided that such defect has been waived by the Offeror) during the Offer Period or the Post Closing Acceptance Period.

The Offeror will publicly announce the results of the Post Closing Acceptance Period and the total amount and total percentage of Shares held by it in accordance with Section 17, paragraph 4 of the Decree ultimately on the third (3rd) Business Day following the last day of the Post Closing Acceptance Period.

The Offeror shall continue to accept for payment all Shares validly tendered (or defectively tendered provided that such defect has been waived by the Offeror) during the Post Closing Acceptance Period and shall pay for such Shares in any event within three (3) Business Days following the last day of the Post Closing Acceptance Period.
