October 8, 2026 11:09 AM EDT

Aegon Ltd. shareholders approved a redomiciliation to the United States and an Omnibus Incentive Plan at an Extraordinary General Meeting held Oct. 8, 2026, in Schiphol, Netherlands.



According to a company statement, Aegon expects to proceed on Oct. 15, 2026, with the repurchase of all outstanding Common Shares B held by its largest shareholder, Vereniging Aegon, in exchange for common shares with equal voting rights on a 40-to-1 basis. Interim bye-laws approved at the EGM will become effective upon completion of that transaction.



Following the share exchange, Vereniging Aegon will be renamed Vereniging Aegon Americas and will retain a stake of approximately 18.4% in Aegon. Charitable activities previously conducted by Vereniging Aegon in the Netherlands will continue under a newly established entity called Stichting Aegon Fonds Nederland.



The share repurchase arrangement is part of an agreement with Vereniging Aegon that was previously announced on May 28, 2026, and detailed in a Shareholder Circular published Aug. 26, 2026.



Aegon also announced it will hold a Capital Markets Day on Dec. 9, 2027, in New York City.



Amended bye-laws approved at the EGM have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on a Form 6-K. Aegon is listed on Euronext Amsterdam and the New York Stock Exchange.
