Aegon NVAegon expands 2H 2026 share buyback program to €350M
Corporate Action
Aegon has implemented a €150 million upsize to its second-half 2026 share buyback program, increasing the total repurchasing pool from €200 million to €350 million. The expansion aligns with Aegon's stated objective to reduce cash capital at holding to approximately €1.0 billion by the end of 2026. The original repurchase plan, which began on July 1, 2026, has so far seen Aegon execute €57 million in share repurchases, representing about 28% of the initial tranche. Barring unforeseen market events, the expanded €350 million buyback is scheduled to conclude by December 23, 2026. As part of the expanded buyback, major shareholder Vereniging Aegon will participate on a pro-rata basis corresponding to its approximately 18.4% voting rights stake, accounting for €26 million of the newly added €150 million allocation and bringing its total participation to €63 million for the full program. Repurchased shares will be executed via a third party on Euronext Amsterdam and capped at daily volume-weighted average prices, and Aegon intends to cancel all shares acquired under the program.
