- Aegon agreed to cancel all preferred shares held by Vereniging Aegon in exchange for cash and common shares. This simplifies Aegon's capital structure and improves capital quality under new regulations.
- Vereniging Aegon will receive €400 million in cash from Aegon and common shares equivalent to €655 million in value, reducing its debt by ~€500 million.
- The transaction has a limited dilutive effect for common shareholders as the increased number of common shares is partly offset by no longer paying preferred dividends.
