Insights

Aegon prepares US redomiciliation with leadership and HQ shift.

Aegon is aligning governance and operations with its plan to become a US-based group. Naming Will Fuller as President and COO from January 1, 2027 centralizes oversight of Transamerica, international insurance and global asset management under one executive.

The CEO, Lard Friese, will remain in charge of overall strategy and performance and plans to relocate to the United States in early 2027, while the corporate headquarters moves to New York City with an office opening expected in mid-2027. This concentrates senior decision-making in the US market.

The company also outlines a formal redomiciliation process, including a Form F-4 registration statement with a Proxy Statement/Prospectus and an extraordinary general meeting contemplated for Q4 2026. Actual outcomes depend on shareholder approvals and satisfaction of conditions described in its risk disclosures.

Planned CEO relocation timing Beginning of 2027 Lard Friese relocation to United States
Expected opening of New York headquarters office Mid-2027 New corporate office to host key functions and leadership
Contemplated timing of extraordinary general meeting Q4 2026 Shareholder meeting on proposed redomiciliation
Planned registration form for redomiciliation Form F-4 To include Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed with SEC
Form of annual report Form 20-F Aegon files annual reports under cover of Form 20-F
Redomiciliation regulatory
"In connection with the proposed corporate reorganization that includes, among other things, the Redomiciliation, Aegon will file a registration statement"
Redomiciliation is when a company legally changes its country of incorporation while keeping the same business and assets, like moving a house to a new neighborhood but keeping the same furniture. Investors care because the company then follows a different set of laws and tax rules, which can change shareholder rights, reporting standards, dividend treatment and the ease of trading the stock, potentially affecting risk and return.
Form F-4 regulatory
"Aegon will file a registration statement on a Form F-4, which includes a U.S. Shareholder Circular"
Form F-4 is an official filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission used by non-U.S. companies when they offer securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers or similar transactions. It acts like a detailed product label or instruction manual that explains the deal, the securities being offered, financials, risks and voting requirements, and it matters to investors because it provides the essential facts needed to evaluate how the transaction could affect ownership, value and future returns.
Proxy Statement/Prospectus regulatory
"includes a U.S. Shareholder Circular (the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission"
A proxy statement or prospectus is a document that companies send to shareholders to provide important information about upcoming decisions or investments, such as voting on company issues or offering new shares to the public. It helps investors understand the details and risks involved, enabling them to make informed choices about their ownership or involvement with the company.
inside information regulatory
"This document contains information that qualifies, or may qualify, as inside information within the meaning of Article 7(1)"
Information not available to the public that, if known, would likely cause a company’s stock or bonds to rise or fall—for example, undisclosed earnings, deals, product results, or management plans. It matters because trading on that information gives an unfair advantage, can distort market prices, and is typically illegal or subject to strict rules, so investors watch for proper disclosure and compliance to protect fair, transparent markets.
EU Market Abuse Regulation regulatory
"within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the EU Market Abuse Regulation (596/2014)"
A set of EU-wide rules that prevent cheating in financial markets by banning insider trading, market manipulation, and misleading disclosure; it also requires timely public release of key company information so everyone can play on a level field. For investors, it reduces the risk that prices are driven by secret deals or false signals, making markets fairer and more reliable for deciding when to buy or sell — like referees enforcing fair play in a game.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This communication contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of Aegon"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Aegon strengthens leadership team and selects New York as location for its future headquarters

Schiphol, June 17, 2026 - Aegon today announces changes to its leadership team to further strengthen the execution of its strategy and support the company’s planned move of its head office and legal seat to the United States. As part of these changes, Will Fuller will be appointed President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Aegon, effective January 1, 2027. In this role, Mr. Fuller will be responsible for the day-to-day management of Transamerica, Aegon’s International businesses and Aegon Asset Management.

Mr. Fuller will report to Aegon CEO Lard Friese, who will continue to lead Aegon as CEO and retain full responsibility for the group’s strategy, overall performance, and leadership. In connection with Aegon’s planned move of its head office, Mr. Friese will relocate to the United States at the beginning of 2027.

These changes will sharpen execution and accelerate performance improvement while providing the leadership focus needed to redomicile the Group to the United States, establish a world-class, US-based head office and deliver on our ambition to become a leading force in the US life insurance and retirement industry, supported by strong international insurance businesses and a globally operating asset manager.

Aegon CEO Lard Friese said: “Will is a highly experienced leader with deep knowledge of our businesses and the opportunities ahead. Will’s appointment further strengthens our leadership team and supports the disciplined execution of our strategy as Aegon relocates to the United States”.

Mr. Fuller joined Aegon in March 2021 as President and Chief Executive Officer of Transamerica. Prior to that, he held senior leadership roles at Lincoln Financial Group and Merrill Lynch, where he was responsible for Global Wealth Management with international responsibility for asset management and insurance solutions. He has played a pivotal role in the success of Transamerica’s businesses and brings deep industry expertise, a strong leadership track record, and an unwavering commitment to customers, distribution partners, and employees.

Aegon today also announces that it has selected New York City as the location for its future corporate headquarters. The office is expected to open in mid-2027 and will house selected corporate functions and members of the leadership team. Establishing its corporate headquarters in New York City marks another milestone in Aegon’s transformation and reinforces its ambition to become a truly US-based company.
