Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Amounts in EUR millions, unless otherwise stated
Aegon N.V., incorporated and domiciled in the Netherlands, is a public limited liability company organized under Dutch law and recorded in the Commercial Register of The Hague under number 27076669 and with its registered address at Aegonplein 50, 2591 TV, The Hague, the Netherlands. Aegon N.V. serves as the holding company for the Aegon Group and has listings of its common shares in Amsterdam and New York.
Aegon N.V. (or “the company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Aegon” or “the Group”) have life insurance and pensions operations in over twenty countries in the Americas, Europe and Asia and are also active in savings and asset management operations, accident and health insurance, general insurance and to a limited extent banking operations. It’s headquarters are located in The Hague, the Netherlands. The Group employs over 24,000 people worldwide.
1. Basis of presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as at, and for the six month period ended, June 30, 2013, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”, as adopted by the European Union (hereafter “IFRS”). They do not include all of the information required for a full set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and should therefore be read together with the 2012 consolidated financial statements of Aegon N.V. as included in Aegon’s Annual Report for 2012. Aegon’s Annual Report for 2012 is available on its website (aegon.com).
The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and those financial instruments (including derivatives) and financial liabilities that have been measured at fair value. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, shareholders’ equity or earnings per share. The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as at, and for the six months ended, June 30, 2013 were approved by the Executive Board on August 7, 2013.
The published figures in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are unaudited.
2. Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies and methods of computation applied in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are the same as those applied in the 2012 consolidated financial statements, except for the newly applied accounting policies.
Adoption of new accounting policies
Aegon applies new and amended standards that require restatement of previous financial statements. These include IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”, IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”, IAS 19 (revised 2011) “Employee Benefits” and IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Application of IFRS 13 “Fair Value Measurement” is required prospectively as of the beginning of the annual reporting period.
The nature and the impact of each new standard / amendment that has been applied for the first time in 2013 is described below:
| t | IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”: The amendments to IFRS 7 enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements, including rights of set-off associated with the entity’s recognized financial assets and recognized financial liabilities, on the entity’s financial position. The amendment affects disclosure only and is included in note 19. |
| Unaudited | 7 |
Table of Contents
| t | IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”: IFRS 10 replaces all the guidance on control and consolidation in IAS 27, “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, and SIC-12, “Consolidation – special purpose entities”. The application of this new standard impacted the financial position of Aegon by consolidating one securitization vehicle that was previously not consolidated. In addition for several investment funds the consolidation conclusion has been revisited, resulting in changes compared to previous years. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 10 on the financial position of Aegon is described in note 2.1. |
| t | IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements”: IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31, “Interests in Joint Ventures” and SIC-13, “Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers”. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture under IFRS 11 must be accounted for using the equity method. The effect of this standard is that Aegon starts to account for its joint ventures on a net equity value basis. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 11 on the financial position of Aegon is described in note 2.1. |
| t | IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”: IFRS 12 imposes disclosure requirements on interests in subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures, and structured entities. This standard affects disclosure only and has therefore no impact on Aegon’s financial position or performance. Aegon will provide the disclosures in the annual report 2013 as required. |
| t | IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement”: IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The application of IFRS 13 has not impacted the fair value measurements carried out by the Group, which are described in note 2.3. IFRS 13 also requires specific disclosures on fair values, some of which replace existing disclosure requirements in other standards, including IFRS 7, “Financial Instruments: Disclosures”. Some of these disclosures, specifically for financial instruments, are required in interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Aegon provides these disclosures in note 15. |
| t | IAS 1, “Financial Statement Presentation – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income”: The amendments require the grouping of items within other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement. The amendments also reaffirm existing requirements that items in other comprehensive income and profit or loss should be presented as either a single statement or two consecutive statements. The amendment affects presentation only and changes are included in the condensed statement of comprehensive income. |
| t | IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”: The revised standard eliminates the option to defer the recognition of actuarial gains and losses, known as the “corridor method”. The amendments streamline the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities arising from defined benefit plans, including requiring remeasurements to be presented in other comprehensive income, to immediately recognize all past service costs and to replace interest cost and expected return on plan assets with a net interest amount that is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability (asset). The impact of the adoption of the revised IAS 19 on the financial position of Aegon is described in note 2.2. |
| t | IAS 27, “Separate Financial Statements”: IAS 27 was amended following the issuance of IFRS 10. The revised IAS 27 deals only with the accounting for subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in the separate financial statements of the parent company. The application of the amendments has not impacted the financial position of the Group. |
| t | IAS 28, “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”: IAS 28 was amended following the issuance of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11. The revised IAS 28 describes the application of the equity method to investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. The application of the amendments has not impacted the financial position of the Group. |
For a complete overview of IFRS standards, published before January 1, 2013, that will be applied in future years, but were not early adopted by the Group, please refer to Aegon’s Annual Report for 2012.
Taxes
Taxes on income for the six months interim period, ending June 30, 2013, are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.

Judgments and critical accounting estimates
Preparing the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions, including the likelihood, timing or amount of future transactions or events, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from the estimates made.
In preparing the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Exchange rates
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rates on the balance sheet date. Income, expenses and capital transactions (such as dividends) are translated at average exchange rates or at the prevailing rates on the transaction date, if more appropriate. The following exchange rates are applied for the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements:

Aegon N.V. is subject to legal restrictions on the amount of dividends it can pay to its shareholders. Under Dutch law the amount that is available to pay dividends consists of total shareholders’ equity less the issued and outstanding capital and less the reserves required by law. The revaluation account and legal reserves, foreign currency translation reserve and other reserves, cannot be freely distributed. In case of negative balances for individual reserves legally to be retained, no distributions can be made out of retained earnings to the level of these negative amounts.
In addition, Aegon’s subsidiaries, principally insurance companies, are subject to restrictions on the amounts of funds they may transfer in the form of cash dividends or otherwise to their parent companies. There can be no assurance that these restrictions will not limit or restrict Aegon in its ability to pay dividends in the future.
2.1 Changes in accounting policies for consolidation and joint arrangements
Aegon has early adopted IFRS 10 – “Consolidated Financial Statements” on January 1, 2013. Aegon also adopted IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements”, IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”, and consequential amendments to IAS 27, “Separate Financial Statements” and IAS 28, “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, at the same time.
| Unaudited | 9 |
Table of Contents
a. Subsidiaries
IFRS 10 changes the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. To meet the definition of control in IFRS 10, all three criteria must be met, including: (a) an investor has power over an investee; (b) the investor has exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and (c) the investor has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
Aegon has applied the new standard retrospectively, in accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 10. The application of this new standard impacted the financial position of Aegon by consolidating one securitization vehicle that was previously not consolidated. In addition, for several investment funds the consolidation conclusion has been revisited which resulted in changes compared to previous years. The effect of the change in accounting policies for consolidation on the financial position, comprehensive income and the cash flows of Aegon at January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2012 are summarized together with the impact of IFRS 11 and revised IAS 19 in note 2.4.
b. Joint arrangements
IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures” and SIC-13 “Jointly-controlled Entities — Non-monetary Contributions by Venturers”. IFRS 11 removes the option to account for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) using proportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet the definition of a joint venture under IFRS 11 must be accounted for using the equity method.
In general, joint arrangements are contractual agreements whereby the Group undertakes with other parties an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Joint control exists when it is contractually agreed to share control of an economic activity. Joint control exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Aegon has early adopted IFRS 11 - “Joint Arrangements”, on January 1, 2013. Under IFRS 11 investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor has rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement. Aegon has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. The joint ventures will be accounted for using the equity method and are no longer proportionately consolidated.
Aegon has applied the new policies for interests in joint ventures occurring on or after January 1, 2012, in accordance with the transition provisions of IFRS 11. The effects of the change in accounting policies for joint arrangements on the financial position of the Group are summarized in note 2.4.
2.2 Changes in accounting policies for assets and liabilities relating to employee benefits
Aegon adopted IAS 19 - “Employee Benefits”, on January 1, 2013. As a result, Aegon changed its accounting policies for the assets and liabilities relating to employee benefits.
Aegon has applied the new policies for employee benefits retrospectively in accordance with the transitional provisions of the revised IAS 19. Aegon’s accounting policies for assets and liabilities relating to employee benefits as set out below reflect the changes under the revised IAS 19.
a. Short-term employee benefits
Prior to January 1, 2013, short-term benefits were recognized based on the employee’s entitlement to the benefits. Under the revised IAS 19 a liability is recognized for the undiscounted amount of short-term employee absences benefits expected to be settled within one year after the end of the period in which the service was rendered. Accumulating short-term absences are recognized over the period in which the service is provided. Benefits that are not service-related are recognized when the event that gives rise to the obligation occurs. This change in accounting policies has no impact on Aegon’s financial position.

Table of Contents
b. Post-employment benefits
The Group has issued defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans. A plan is classified as a defined contribution plan when the Group has no further obligation than the payment of a fixed contribution. All other plans are classified as defined benefit plans.
Defined contribution plans
The contribution payable to a defined contribution plan for services provided is recognized as an expense in the income statement. An asset is recognized to the extent that the contribution paid exceeds the amount due for services provided.
Defined benefit plans
Revised IAS 19 includes a number of amendments to the accounting for defined benefit plans, including actuarial gains and losses that are recognized in other comprehensive income and permanently excluded from profit and loss; expected returns on plan assets that are no longer recognized in profit or loss. Instead, there is a requirement to recognize interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) in profit or loss, calculated using the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation, and; unvested past service costs are recognized in profit or loss at the earlier of when the amendment occurs or when the related restructuring or termination costs are recognized. Other amendments include new disclosures, such as, quantitative sensitivity disclosures.
Upon transition to revised IAS 19, Aegon recognizes all actuarial gains and losses as they occur and therefore no longer applies the corridor approach. Furthermore, past service costs are recognized immediately if the benefits have vested directly after the introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan.
The effects of the change in accounting policies for assets and liabilities relating to employee benefits on the financial position of the Group are summarized in note 2.4.
2.3 Changes in accounting policies for fair value measurement relating to financial and non-financial assets and liabilities
Aegon adopted IFRS 13 – “Fair Value Measurement”, on January 1, 2013. This resulted in the Group changing its accounting policies for the fair value measurement of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. Under IFRS 13, fair value is defined as the amount that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e. an exit price at the measurement date from the perspective of a market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability). A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
(a) in the principal market for the asset or liability; or
(b) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The application of IFRS 13 has not impacted Aegon’s fair value measurements. The description of Aegon’s methods of determining fair value is included in the consolidated financial statements 2012 and has not changed under IFRS 13. IFRS 13 requires specific disclosures on fair values, some of which replace existing disclosure requirements in other standards, including IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. Some of these disclosures, specifically for financial instruments, are required in interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These disclosures are provided in note 15.

Non-IFRS measures
For segment reporting purposes the following non-IFRS financial measures are included: underlying earnings before tax, income tax and income before tax. These non-IFRS measures are calculated by consolidating on a proportionate basis Aegon’s joint ventures and associated companies. Aegon believes that its non-IFRS measures provide meaningful information about the underlying results of Aegon’s business, including insight into the financial measures that Aegon’s senior management uses in managing the business.
| Unaudited | 15 |
Table of Contents
Among other things, Aegon’s senior management is compensated based in part on Aegon’s results against targets using the non-IFRS measures presented here. While many other insurers in Aegon’s peer group present substantially similar non-IFRS measures, the non-IFRS measures presented in this document may nevertheless differ from the non-IFRS measures presented by other insurers. There is no standardized meaning to these measures under IFRS or any other recognized set of accounting standards. Readers are cautioned to consider carefully the different ways in which Aegon and its peers present similar information before comparing them.
Aegon believes the non-IFRS measures shown herein, when read together with Aegon’s reported IFRS financial statements, provide meaningful supplemental information for the investing public to evaluate Aegon’s business after eliminating the impact of current IFRS accounting policies for financial instruments and insurance contracts, which embed a number of accounting policies alternatives that companies may select in presenting their results (i.e. companies can use different local GAAPs to measure the insurance contract liability) and that can make the comparability from period to period difficult.
The reconciliation from underlying earnings before tax to income before tax, being the most comparable IFRS measure, is presented in the tables in this note.
Underlying earnings
Certain assets held by Aegon Americas, Aegon The Netherlands and Aegon United Kingdom are carried at fair value and managed on a total return basis, with no offsetting changes in the valuation of related liabilities. These include assets such as investments in hedge funds, private equities, real estate (limited partnerships), convertible bonds and structured products. Underlying earnings exclude any over- or underperformance compared to management’s long-term expected return on assets.
Based on current holdings and asset returns, the long-term expected return on an annual basis is 8-10%, depending on asset class, including cash income and market value changes. The expected earnings from these asset classes are net of deferred policy acquisition costs (DPAC) where applicable.
In addition, certain products offered by Aegon Americas contain guarantees and are reported on a fair value basis, including the segregated funds offered by Aegon Canada and the total return annuities and guarantees on variable annuities of Aegon USA. The earnings on these products are impacted by movements in equity markets and risk-free interest rates. Short-term developments in the financial markets may therefore cause volatility in earnings. Included in underlying earnings is a long-term expected return on these products and excluded is any over- or underperformance compared to management’s expected return. The fair value movements of certain guarantees and the fair value change of derivatives that hedge certain risks on these guarantees of Aegon The Netherlands and Variable Annuities Europe (included in New Markets) are excluded from underlying earnings, and the long-term expected return for these guarantees is set at zero.
Holding and other activities include certain issued bonds that are held at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The interest rate risk on these bonds is hedged using swaps. The fair value movement resulting from changes in Aegon’s credit spread used in the valuation of these bonds are excluded from underlying earnings and reported under fair value items.
Fair value items
Fair value items include the over- or underperformance of investments and guarantees held at fair value for which the expected long-term return is included in underlying earnings. Changes to these long-term return assumptions are also included in the fair value items.
| 16 | Unaudited |
Table of Contents
In addition, hedge ineffectiveness on hedge transactions, fair value changes on economic hedges without natural offset in earnings and for which no hedge accounting is applied and fair value movements on real estate are included under fair value items.
Realized gains or losses on investments
Includes realized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, mortgage loans and other loan portfolios.
Impairment charges / reversals
Includes impairments and reversals on available-for-sale debt securities and impairments on shares including the effect of deferred policyholder acquisition costs, mortgage loans and loan portfolios on amortized cost and associates respectively.
Other income or charges
Other income or charges is used to report any items which cannot be directly allocated to a specific line of business. Also items that are outside the normal course of business are reported under this heading.
Other charges include restructuring charges that are considered other charges for segment reporting purposes because they are outside the normal course of business. In the condensed consolidated income statement, these charges are included in operating expenses.
Run-off businesses
Includes underlying results of business units where management has decided to exit the market and to run-off the existing block of business. Currently, this line includes the run-off of the institutional spread-based business, structured settlements blocks of business, Bank-Owned and Corporate-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI/COLI) business and life reinsurance business in the United States. Aegon has other blocks of business for which sales have been discontinued and of which the earnings are included in underlying earnings.
Share in earnings of joint ventures and associates
Earnings from Aegon’s joint ventures in Spain, China and Japan and Aegon’s associates in Spain, India, Brazil and Mexico are reported on an underlying earnings basis.

In June 2013, the Polish government started a consultation process with regard to an overhaul of the existing state pension system. Although at this moment it is unclear what the outcome of this consultation process will be, any changes made to the state pension system in Poland may affect Aegon’s Polish pension business and the value Aegon has attributed to this business.

Significant transfers between Level I and II
Aegon’s policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level I and Level II at their fair values as of the beginning of each reporting period. During the first six months of 2013, the amount of assets and liabilities transferred from Level II to Level I was EUR 457 million. Transfers are identified based on transaction volume and frequency, which are indicative of an active market.

1 Includes impairments and movements related to fair value hedges. Gains and losses are recorded in the line item results from financial transactions of the income statement.
2 Total gains and losses are recorded in line items Gains/ (losses) on revaluation of available-for-sale investments and (Gains)/ losses transferred to the income statement on disposal and impairment of available-for-sale investment of the statement of other comprehensive income.
3 Total gains / (losses) for the period during which the financial instrument was in Level III.
Aegon’s policy is to record transfers of assets and liabilities between Level I, Level II and Level III at their fair values as of the beginning of each reporting period. During the second quarter of 2013, Aegon transferred certain financial instruments from Level I and Level II to Level III of the fair value hierarchy. The reason for the change in level was that the market liquidity for these securities decreased, which led to a change in market observability of prices. Prior to transfer, the fair value for the Level I and Level II securities was determined using observable market transactions or corroborated broker quotes respectively for the same or similar instruments. Since the transfer, all such assets have been valued using valuation models incorporating significant non market-observable inputs or uncorroborated broker quotes.
Similarly, during the second quarter in 2013, Aegon transferred certain financial instruments from Level III to other levels of the fair value hierarchy. The change in level was mainly the result of a return of activity in the market for these securities and that for these securities the fair value could be determined using observable market transactions or corroborated broker quotes for the same or similar instruments.

Table of Contents
The valuation techniques included in the table above are described in more detail below:
Shares
When available, Aegon uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of its shares. Fair values for unquoted shares are estimated using observations of the price/earnings or price/cash flow ratios of quoted companies considered comparable to the companies being valued. Valuations are adjusted to account for company-specific issues and the lack of liquidity inherent in an unquoted investment. Illiquidity adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In addition, a variety of other factors are reviewed by management, including, but not limited to, current operating performance, changes in market outlook and the third-party financing environment.
Available-for-sale shares include shares in the Federal Home Loan Bank for an amount of EUR 110 million that are measured at par, which are reported as part of Other. The bank has implicit financial support from the United States government. The redemption value of the shares is fixed at par and they can only be redeemed by the bank.
Residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS)
Valuations of RMBS, CMBS and ABS are monitored and reviewed on a monthly basis. Valuations are based on a pricing hierarchy and depending on the asset type the pricing hierarchy consists of a waterfall that starts with making use of market prices from indices and follows with making use of third-party pricing services or brokers. The pricing hierarchy is dependent on the possibilities of corroboration of the market prices. If no market prices are available Aegon uses internal models to determine fair value. Significant inputs included in the internal models are generally determined based on relative value analyses, which incorporate comparisons to instruments with similar collateral and risk profiles. Market standard models may be used to model the specific collateral composition and cash flow structure of each transaction. The most significant unobservable input is illiquidity premium which is embedded in the discount rate.
Corporate bonds
Valuations of corporate bonds are monitored and reviewed on a monthly basis. The pricing hierarchy is dependent on the possibility of corroboration of market prices when available. If no market prices are available, valuations are determined by a discounted cash flow methodology using an internally calculated yield. The yield is comprised of a credit spread over a given benchmark. In all cases the benchmark is an observable input. The credit spread contains both observable and unobservable inputs. Aegon starts by taking an observable credit spread from a similar bond of the given issuer, and then adjust this spread based on unobservable inputs. These unobservable inputs may include subordination, liquidity and maturity differences.
Tax credit investments
The fair value of tax credit investments is determined by using a discounted cash flow valuation technique. This valuation technique takes into consideration projections of future capital contributions and distributions, as well as future tax credits and the tax benefits of future operating losses. The present value of these cash flows is calculated by applying a discount rate. In general, the discount rate is determined based on the cash outflows for the investments and the cash inflows from the tax credits/tax benefits (and the timing of those cash flows). These inputs are unobservable in the market place.
Real estate investments, private equity investments and hedge funds
The fair values of investments held in non-quoted investment funds are determined by management after taking into consideration information provided by the fund managers. Aegon reviews the valuations each month and performs analytical procedures and trending analyses to ensure the fair values are appropriate.
Sovereign debt
When available, Aegon uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of its sovereign debt investments. When Aegon cannot make use of quoted market prices, market prices from indices or quotes from third-party pricing services or brokers are used.

Table of Contents
Derivatives
Where quoted market prices are not available, other valuation techniques, such as option pricing or stochastic modeling, are applied. The valuation techniques incorporate all factors that a typical market participant would consider and are based on observable market data when available. Models are validated before they are used and calibrated to ensure that outputs reflect actual experience and comparable market prices.
Fair values for exchange-traded derivatives, principally futures and certain options, are based on quoted market prices in active markets. Fair values for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives represent amounts estimated to be received from or paid to a third party in settlement of these instruments. These derivatives are valued using pricing models based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows, directly observed prices from exchange-traded derivatives, other OTC trades, or external pricing services. Most valuations are derived from swap and volatility matrices, which are constructed for applicable indices and currencies using current market data from many industry standard sources. Option pricing is based on industry standard valuation models and current market levels, where applicable. The pricing of complex or illiquid instruments is based on internal models or an independent third party. For long-dated illiquid contracts, extrapolation methods are applied to observed market data in order to estimate inputs and assumptions that are not directly observable. To value OTC derivatives, management uses observed market information, other trades in the market and dealer prices.
Aegon normally mitigates counterparty credit risk in derivative contracts by entering into collateral agreements where practical and in ISDA master netting agreements for each of the Group’s legal entities to facilitate Aegon’s right to offset credit risk exposure. Changes in the fair value of derivatives attributable to changes in counterparty credit risk were not significant.
Embedded derivatives in insurance contracts including guarantees
Certain bifurcated guarantees for minimum benefits in insurance and investment contracts are carried at fair value. These guarantees include guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits (GMWB) in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan which are offered on some variable annuity products and are also assumed from a ceding company; minimum interest rate guarantees on insurance products offered in the Netherlands, including group pension and traditional products; and guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits on segregated funds sold in Canada.
Since the price of these guarantees is not quoted in any market, the fair values of these guarantees are calculated as the present value of future expected payments to policyholders less the present value of assessed rider fees attributable to the guarantees. Given the complexity and long-term nature of these guarantees which are unlike instruments available in financial markets, their fair values are determined by using stochastic techniques under a variety of market return scenarios. A variety of factors are considered including credit spread, expected market rates of return, equity and interest rate volatility, correlations of market returns, discount rates and actuarial assumptions. The most significant unobservable factor is credit spread.
The expected returns are based on risk-free rates. Aegon added a premium to reflect the credit spread as required. The credit spread is set by using the credit default swap (CDS) spreads of a reference portfolio of life insurance companies (including Aegon), adjusted to reflect the subordination of senior debt holders at the holding company level to the position of policyholders at the operating company level (who have priority in payments to other creditors). Aegon’s assumptions are set by region to reflect differences in the valuation of the guarantee embedded in the insurance contracts.
Assumptions are reviewed at each valuation date, and updated based on historical experience and observable market data, including market transactions such as acquisitions and reinsurance transactions. Assumptions regarding policyholder behavior, such as lapses, included in the models are derived in the same way as the assumptions used to measure insurance liabilities.

The table above presents the impact on a fair value measurement of a change in an unobservable input. The impact of changes in inputs may not be independent, therefore the descriptions provided below indicate the impact of a change in an input in isolation.
| a) | The primary unobservable assumptions used in fair value measurement of asset backed securities is in general a liquidity premium in the discount rate. Changing the liquidity premium changes the discount rate when using the discounted cash flow model. Increasing or decreasing the liquidity premium respectively decreases or increases the value of the investment. Aegon adjusted the discount rate with 100 basis points up or down for this input. |
| b) | For corporate bonds the most significant unobservable input for the valuation of these securities is the credit spread. An increase in credit spread results in a lower valuation, while a decrease in credit spread results in a higher valuation. Aegon adjusted the discount rate by 50 basis points up or down for this input. |
| c) | Tax credit investments are measured at fair value using an internal model. The most significant unobservable input for valuation of these tax credits is the discount rate. Increasing or decreasing the discount rate would result in respectively a lower or higher valuation. Aegon adjusted the discount rate by 50 basis points up or down for this input. |
| d) | The derivative included is a longevity index derivative of Aegon The Netherlands. Most significant unobservable inputs are mortality tables. The mortality table used to determine the fair value of this derivative is the projected Aegon 2012-2062 table. Changing the mortality rates changes the cash flow expectations from this derivative. Increasing (decreasing) the mortality rates decreases (increases) the value of the investment. Aegon adjusted longevity with 2% up or down for this input, compared to the prospective mortality table in determining the value of this derivative. |
| e) | To determine the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivatives related to guarantees, a discount rate is used including credit spread. An increase in the credit spread results in lower valuation, while a decrease results in a higher valuation of the embedded derivatives. Aegon increased or decreased the credit spread by 20 basis points. |

Financial instruments for which carrying value approximates fair value
Certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value are carried at amounts that approximate fair value, due to their short-term nature and generally negligible credit risk. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables and accrued interest receivable, short term liabilities, and accrued liabilities. These instruments are not included in the table above.

On February 15, 2013, Aegon and Vereniging Aegon (‘the Association’) announced their agreement to cancel all of Aegon’s preferred shares, of which the Association was the sole owner. Following the approval of the new capital structure by the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 15, 2013, Aegon has now exchanged all preferred shares for EUR 400 million in cash, the equivalent of EUR 655 million in common shares and EUR 83 million of dividends on the preferred shares.
Based on the volume-weighted average price of Aegon common shares on Euronext Amsterdam of EUR 4.86, which was announced on March 1, 2013, the preferred shares were converted into 121 million common shares and 566 million common shares B. Following the conversion, the Association obtained a total of 293 million common shares and 566 million common shares B.
Vereniging Aegon exercised its option right to purchase 13 million common shares B for EUR 0.1275 to correct the dilution caused by the issuance of shares bringing the total of common shares B held by Vereninging Aegon at 579 million.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the average number of shares outstanding for share options. During the first six months ending June 30, 2013, and during 2012 the average share price did not exceed the exercise price of these options. As a result diluted earnings per share does not differ from basic earnings per share.
Interim dividend
The 2013 interim dividend amounted EUR 0.11 per common share. The interim dividend will be paid in cash or stock at the election of the shareholder. The annual General Meeting of shareholders on May 15, 2013 approved a final dividend over 2012 payable in either cash or stock related to the second half of 2012, paid in the first half of 2013. The cash dividend amounted EUR 0.11 per common share, and the stock dividend amounts to one new Aegon common share for every 47 common shares held. The stock dividend and cash dividend are approximately equal in value.

On March 26, 2013, Aegon signed an agreement with a third party to sell class A mortgage backed securities (RMBS) amounting to EUR 750 million. These securities consist of two tranches:
| t | EUR 100 million of class A1 notes with an expected weighted average life of two years and priced with a coupon of three month Euribor plus 0.40%; and |
| t | EUR 650 million of class A2 notes with an expected weighted average life of five years and priced with a coupon of three month Euribor plus 0.82%. |
On June 3, 2013, Aegon redeemed USD 750 million senior notes (EUR 580 million), which matured.
Commercial paper, Short-term deposits and Bank overdrafts vary with the normal course of business.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset in the statement of financial position when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and has the intention to settle the asset and liability on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Aegon mitigates credit risk in derivative contracts by entering into collateral agreements, where practical, and in ISDA master netting agreements for each of the Aegon’s legal entities to facilitate Aegon’s right to offset credit risk exposure. The credit support agreement will normally dictate the threshold over which collateral needs to be pledged by Aegon or its counterparty. Transactions requiring Aegon or its counterparty to post collateral are typically the result of over-the-counter derivative trades, comprised mostly of interest rate swaps, currency swaps and credit swaps. These transactions are conducted under terms that are usual and customary to standard long-term borrowing, derivative, securities lending and securities borrowing activities, as well as requirements determined by exchanges where the bank acts as intermediary.
20. Commitments and contingencies
KoersPlan
On June 14, 2013, the Supreme Court denied Aegon’s appeal and confirmed the ruling of the Court of Appeal from 2011 in the KoersPlan case. Aegon will compensate the approximately 35.000 policyholders of KoersPlan-products who were plaintiffs in the litigation. To cover for this liability, Aegon set up a provision of EUR 25 million in Q2 2013. For policyholders of KoersPlan-products not plaintiffs in the litigation, the company is establishing whether any adjustment of the premium is appropriate.
There have been no other material changes in contingent assets and liabilities as reported in the 2012 consolidated financial statements of Aegon.
21. Acquisitions / Divestments
Fidem Life
On February 8, 2013, Aegon closed the acquisition of 100% of Fidem Life, a life insurance company in Ukraine. Fidem Life is rebranded ‘Aegon Ukraine’ and is integrated into the governance and management structure of Aegon CEE.
Strategic partnership with Banco Santander
Aegon has completed an exclusive 25-year strategic partnership with Banco Santander, Spain’s largest financial group, first announced last December. Under the terms of the agreement, Aegon has acquired a 51% stake in both a life insurance company as well as in a non-life insurance company for a consideration of EUR 220 million. The joint ventures will distribute life and general insurance products through Banco Santander’s extensive branch network. Aegon Spain will provide the back-office services to the joint venture companies.
Unnim
Aegon has finalized exiting its life, health and pension joint venture with Unnim and sold its 50% stake to Unnim for a total consideration of EUR 353 million. The sale resulted in a book gain of EUR 102 million before tax.
Positive Solutions
On June 12, 2013, Aegon UK announced the sale of national independent financial advisor (IFA) Positive Solutions to Intrinsic Financial Services. The loss on the sale amounts to EUR 22 mln. The sale is expected to complete in the third quarter.
