Shares that are already allocated during a plan year are a combination of shares as part of fixed compensation or a
sign-on
arrangement (e.g. the 600,544 shares allocated during the calendar year 2025 in relation to the 2025 plan year). Shares that are allocated in the calendar year after a plan year, concern the difference between the conditionally granted shares for that plan year and the actual number of shares that have been allocated as variable compensation (e.g. the 113,905 share correction during 2025 for the 2024 plan year). This number can therefore be positive or negative. Shares allocated during a calendar year in relation to earlier plan years are backdated corrections to the administration (e.g. during 2025, a correction of 3,303 shares was made in relation to the 2023 plan year).

This is the volume weighted-average price (VWAP) of Aegon on the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange for the period December 15 to January 15. For instance for the 2025 plan year, this is the VWAP for the period December 15, 2024 to January 15, 2025.

These fair values are adjusted for expected dividend (when the participants are not eligible during the deferral period) and for the impact of relative total shareholder return as performance indicator for variable compensation (where applicable).
