RESOLUTION OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

AEGON N.V.'s proposal to change its corporate governance and to end its
voluntary application of the Dutch large company regime was approved today by
shareholders in an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.

In the new corporate governance structure the General Meeting of Shareholders
will have the authority to appoint or remove members of both the Supervisory
Board and of the Executive Board. A resolution of the General Meeting of
Shareholders to appoint a person that has not been nominated by the Supervisory
Board or to remove a member of the Supervisory Board or the Executive Board
other than pursuant to a proposal by the Supervisory Board will require a 2/3rd
majority representing more than half of AEGON N.V.'s issued share capital.
The annual accounts will be adopted by the General Meeting of Shareholders.

The Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders also approved the Preferred
Shares Voting Agreement with Vereniging AEGON as well as amendments to the 1983
Merger Agreement.

On March 20, 2003, AEGON N.V. proposed to change its corporate governance and to
end its voluntary application of the Dutch large company regime. This proposal
entailed amendment of the Articles of Association of AEGON N.V., for which a
quorum is required in the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders representing
more than half of AEGON N.V.'s voting shares. As this quorum was not attained in
the Annual General Meeting on April 17, 2003, an Extraordinary General Meeting
of Shareholders was held today. In this meeting a quorum was not required.
