1 The table has been updated to present the increased stake in Van Lanschot Kempen separately from other investments.
As at 31 December 2025 ING holds 13% (2024: 13%) of the shares of Bank of Beijing, a bank listed on the Shanghai
Stock Exchange. The stake in Bank of Beijing is part of the Corporate Line. As per regulatory requirements set by
the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, ING, as a shareholder holding more than 5% of the
shares, is required to supply additional capital when necessary. No request for additional capital was received in
2025 (2024: nil).
In 2025 ING increased its ownership in Van Lanschot Kempen by acquiring an additional 17.6% stake, raising its
total interest based on the issued share capital from 2.7% to 20.3%. Despite ING holding over 20% voting rights in
VLK (a presumption of significant influence in IFRS), this presumption is rebutted given that ING holds rights similar
to other ordinary shareholders where voting does not include financial and operating policy decisions and ING
does not have the rights or ability to obtain board representation. Therefore, the increased investment in VLK is
designated at fair value through other comprehensive income consistent with ING’s passive investment purpose.
The stake is part of the Corporate Line.
