It is the intention of the Supervisory Board to elect Hans

transfer of responsibilities to Hans Wijers, it will be proposed to
the AGM to reappoint Jeroen van der Veer (Dutch, 1947) as member of
the Supervisory Board for a period of one year. Jeroen van der Veer
has been a member of the Supervisory Board since 2009.
It will also be proposed to the AGM to reappoint Hermann-Josef
Lamberti (German, 1956) and Robert Reibestein (Dutch, 1956) for a
next period of four years as members of the Supervisory Board.
Messrs Lamberti and Reibestein have been members since 2013. After
completing her four year term since appointment in 2013, Isabel
Martín Castellá will retire from the Supervisory Board at the end
of the AGM 2017, having reached the ING age limit for Supervisory
Board members.
The proposed appointments to the Supervisory Board have been
approved by the European Central Bank. The full details of all
