Delta Lloyd NV announces the offering of 19.9 million new ordinary shares via an accelerated bookbuild transaction, which will be launched immediately. In line with Delta Lloyd's approach to prudent capital management, DELTA LLOYD intends to use the proceeds of the transaction to further reinforce its solvency position in light of the various uncertainties still associated with Solvency II. The issued ordinary shares will be eligible for the 2014 final dividend.

Executive Board chairman Hans van der Noordaa: "Prudent capital and return management is a key priority for Delta Lloyd, as we have iterated in our 2014 full year results and our dialogues with investors and analysts that followed. We are continuously investigating ways to optimise our capital structure and strengthen our balance sheet, through our product mix, earnings, asset optimisation and capital market transactions, such as a longevity swap. Today's capital increase in combination with a longevity swap will bring our economic capital ratio (internal model based on FY 2014 methodology and assumptions) in the upper half of our communicated appetite range (140-180%). This prudent approach should provide us with additional flexibility in continuing to capture market opportunities for profitable growth. We remain committed to our dividend policy."

Transaction
The book for the offering will open with immediate effect and closing of the book is expected tomorrow before NYSE Euronext Amsterdam and NYSE Euronext Brussels markets open, subject to possible acceleration. Settlement of the offering and admittance of the ordinary shares to listing and trading on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam and Brussels is expected to take place on 19 March 2015. For the purpose of the transaction, Delta Lloyd will use the authorisation of the annual shareholders' meeting permitting the issue of new ordinary shares representing up to 10% of the issued share capital.

Delta Lloyd has agreed not to undertake a further issue or sale of ordinary shares or securities convertible into ordinary shares for a period of 90 days following settlement of the offering, subject to customary exceptions, save with the prior written consent of the Sole Global Coordinator.
