Joint Press Release
This is a joint press release by NN Group N.V. ('NN Group') and Delta Lloyd N.V. ('Delta Lloyd'), pursuant to the provisions of Section 4 Paragraph 3 of the Decree on Public Takeover Bids (Besluit Openbare Biedingen Wft) (the 'Decree') in connection with the recommended public offer by NN Group Bidco B.V., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of NN Group (the 'Offeror'), for all the issued and outstanding ordinary shares in the capital of Delta Lloyd. This announcement does not constitute an offer, or any solicitation of any offer, to buy or subscribe for any securities. An offer is made only by means of the 'Offer Memorandum', dated 2 February 2017, and subject to the restrictions set forth therein. Terms not defined in this press release will have the meaning given thereto in the Offer Memorandum. This announcement is not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, in or into, directly or indirectly, Canada or Japan or in any other jurisdiction in which such release, publication or distribution would be unlawful.

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 hereby jointly announce that they have reached agreement with Stichting Fonds NutsOhra ('Fonds NutsOhra') whereby the preference shares A held by Fonds NutsOhra (being all of the issued and outstanding preference shares A in the capital of Delta Lloyd) and the perpetual subordinated loan provided to Delta Lloyd, will be acquired by NN Group in exchange for newly issued NN Group ordinary shares, representing an aggregate value of EUR 255 million. The transaction is expected to be completed in April 2017, subject to certain conditions, and after settlement of the Offer on 12 April 2017. For the avoidance of doubt, the preference shares A are not subject to the Offer.

The perpetual subordinated loan has a nominal value of EUR 405 million and currently qualifies as restricted tier 1 capital until 1 January 2019. The transaction, all else being equal, will generate an increase in the unrestricted tier 1 capital and a consequent reduction in the restricted tier 1 capital for an amount approximately equal to the nominal value. The transaction is expected to reduce the financial leverage of the combined group and the transaction is not anticipated to have a material impact on the overall Solvency II ratio, cash capital position and operating result of the combined group.

Announcements
Any further announcements in relation to the Offer will be issued by press release and, to the extent required, made public in Belgium by means of a supplement to the Offer Memorandum, in accordance with Article 17 of the Belgian Law on public takeover bids of 1 April 2007. Any press release issued by NN Group will be made available on NN Group's website (www.nn-group.com) and any press release issued by Delta Lloyd will be made available on Delta Lloyd's website (www.deltalloyd.com). Subject to any applicable requirements of the applicable rules and without limiting the manner in which the Offeror may choose to make any public announcement, the Offeror will have no obligation to communicate any public announcement other than as described in the Offer Memorandum.
