4.433% of the Common Stock outstanding of AEGON NV
("the Company") as a result of acting as investment adviser to

of Common Stock of AEGON NV owned by the investment
companies at December 31, 2013 included 419,700 shares of
Common Stock resulting from the assumed conversion of
419,700 shares of AEGON NV (NY REGD) (1 shares of

The Johnson family group and all other Series B shareholders
have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under
which all Series B voting common shares will be voted in
accordance with the majority vote of Series B voting common
shares. Accordingly, through their ownership of voting
common shares and the execution of the shareholders' voting
agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed,
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a
controlling group with respect to FMR LLC.
Neither FMR LLC nor Edward C. Johnson 3d,
Chairman of FMR LLC, has the sole power to vote or direct
the voting of the shares owned directly by the Fidelity Funds,
which power resides with the Funds' Boards of Trustees.
Fidelity carries out the voting of the shares under written
guidelines established by the Funds' Boards of Trustees.

advisory services to individuals. As such, FMR LLC's
beneficial ownership includes 9,221 shares, or 0.000%, of the
Common Stock outstanding of AEGON NV, beneficially
owned through Strategic Advisers, Inc. The number of shares
of Common Stock of AEGON NV owned by the individuals at
December 31, 2013 included 9,221 shares of Common Stock
resulting from the assumed conversion of 9,221 shares of
AEGON NV (NY REGD) (1 shares of Common Stock for
each Unit Stock).
Pyramis Global Advisors, LLC ("PGALLC"), 900

wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC and an investment
adviser registered under Section 203 of the Investment
Advisers Act of 1940, is the beneficial owner of 6,817,853
shares or 0.320% of the outstanding Common Stock of
AEGON NV as a result of its serving as investment adviser to
institutional accounts, non-U.S. mutual funds, or investment
companies registered under Section 8 of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 owning such shares.
Edward C. Johnson 3d and FMR LLC, through its
control of PGALLC, each has sole dispositive power over
6,817,853 shares and sole power to vote or to direct the voting
of 6,464,992 shares of Common Stock owned by the
institutional accounts or funds advised by PGALLC as
reported above.
Pyramis Global Advisors Trust Company ("PGATC"),
900 Salem Street, Smithfield, Rhode Island, 02917, an indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of FMR LLC and a bank as defined
in Section 3(a)(6) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is

provide investment advisory and management services to a
number of non-U.S. investment companies and certain
institutional investors. FIL, which is a qualified institution
under section 240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii), is the beneficial owner of
7,823,816 shares or 0.367% of the Common Stock outstanding
of the Company.
Partnerships controlled predominantly by members of
the family of Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman of FMR LLC
and FIL, or trusts for their benefit, own shares of FIL voting
stock. While the percentage of total voting power represented
by these shares may fluctuate as a result of changes in the total
number of shares of FIL voting stock outstanding from time to
time, it normally represents more than 25% and less than 50%
of the total votes which may be cast by all holders of FIL
voting stock. FMR LLC and FIL are separate and independent
corporate entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally
composed of different individuals.
FMR LLC and FIL are of the view that they are not
acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934" Act) and that
they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the
"beneficial ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by
the other corporation within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the 1934 Act. Therefore, they are of the
view that the shares held by the other corporation need not be
aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d). However, FMR
LLC is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all of the
shares are beneficially owned by FMR LLC and FIL on a joint
basis.
FIL has sole dispositive power over 7,823,816 shares
owned by the International Funds. FIL has sole power to vote
or direct the voting of 6,312,281 shares and no power to vote
or direct the voting of 1,511,535 shares of Common Stock
held by the International Funds as reported above.
