Prospectus Supplement
(To Prospectus dated August 31, 2017)
$925,000,000
AEGON Funding Company LLC
(a Delaware limited liability company)
5.10% Subordinated Notes due 2049
Guaranteed on a subordinated basis by

Aegon N.V.
(a Netherlands public company with limited liability)
AEGON Funding Company LLC ("AFC") is issuing $925,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.10% subordinated notes due December 15, 2049, or Subordinated Notes.
The Subordinated Notes will be issued in denominations of $25 and in integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof, will constitute AFC's direct, unsecured and subordinated
securities and, in the event of certain bankruptcy events, will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of AFC's Senior Debt (as defined herein),
present and future, but will rank senior to all our classes of share capital and to any indebtedness, if any, expressly subordinated to the Subordinated Notes. The payment of
principal and interest on the Subordinated Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured subordinated basis (the "Subordinated Guarantee") by Aegon N.V.
("Aegon") as and when the same shall be due and payable. The Subordinated Guarantee will constitute Aegon's direct, unsecured and subordinated obligation and, in the event of
bankruptcy, winding-up or moratorium, will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of Aegon's Senior Debt, present and future, but will rank senior
to all Aegon's classes of share capital and to any Aegon Junior Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined herein).
The Subordinated Notes are scheduled to be repaid on December 15, 2049. Under certain conditions, we will be required to postpone this repayment. See "Description of the
Subordinated Notes--Maturity, Redemption, Substitution, Variation and Purchases--Condition for Redemption or Purchase of Subordinated Notes" and "Description of the
Subordinated Notes--Non-Payment When Due; Limitation of Remedies."
We may, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and subject to Aegon first obtaining any required approval of the Supervisory Authority, (i) on December 15, 2024,
or on any interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Subordinated Notes at our option in whole or in part at their aggregate principal amount, together with any accrued but
unpaid interest to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption and any Arrears of Interest or (ii) redeem the Subordinated Notes upon the occurrence of certain tax, regulatory
disqualification or rating methodology events at the redemption prices described herein. We may also, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and subject to Aegon first
obtaining any required approval of the Supervisory Authority, substitute or vary the Subordinated Notes upon the occurrence of certain tax, regulatory disqualification or rating
methodology events. See "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Maturity, Redemption, Substitution, Variation and Purchases." In addition, subject to Aegon first obtaining any
required approval of the Supervisory Authority (as defined herein), upon the occurrence of certain regulatory disqualification, capital determination, resolution or bankruptcy events,
Aegon may be substituted for AFC as the issuer under the Subordinated Notes in whole (but not in part) on a voluntary or mandatory basis, depending on the triggering event,
pursuant to which AFC will be released from its obligations under the Subordinated Notes (which will then constitute Substituted Subordinated Notes (as defined herein)), the
Subordinated Guarantee will be released and extinguished, and Aegon will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, AFC under the
Subordinated Notes with the same effect as if Aegon had been named as issuer under the Indenture (as defined herein) and the Subordinated Notes. See "Description of the
Subordinated Notes--Issuer Substitution" and "Risk Factors--Risks Relating to the Subordinated Notes" for further details on, and a description of the potential consequences of, an
Issuer Substitution.
The Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.10% per annum on their outstanding principal amount from (and including) the issuance date, payable in U.S. dollars
quarterly in arrears (with a short first interest period) on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2019 to but excluding
December 15, 2049, or the date of any earlier redemption, subject to the conditions described under "Description of the Subordinated Notes." As more fully described in this
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/769218/000119312519269217/d838208d424b2.htm[10/17/2019 3:18:35 PM]

prospectus supplement under "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Deferral of Interest Payments," in the absence of deferral of interest in accordance with certain required
deferral provisions and mandatory interest payment provisions, payment of interest on the Subordinated Notes may be deferred at our option.
We have applied to list the Subordinated Notes on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "AEFC." If listing is approved, we expect trading of the Subordinated
Notes to begin within 30 days after the initial delivery of the Subordinated Notes.
Investing in the Subordinated Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-19.
The Subordinated Guarantee may, and if Aegon substitutes AFC as issuer in accordance with an Issuer Substitution, the Substituted Subordinated Notes may, be written
down, reduced, converted or become subject to other exercise of Dutch Bail-in Power (as defined herein). See "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Agreement and
Acknowledgment with Respect to the Exercise of Dutch Bail-in Power."

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
MiFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market  Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product
approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Subordinated Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the
Subordinated Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all
channels for distribution of the Subordinated Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering,
selling or recommending the Subordinated Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment; however, a
distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Subordinated Notes (by either adopting or
refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors--the Subordinated Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a
person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive
(EU) 2016/97 (the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article
4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by
Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Subordinated Notes or otherwise making them available
to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Subordinated Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail
investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

the month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not such
day is a Business Day.

Option to Defer Interest Payments
We may in respect of any Interest Payment that would, in the absence of deferral in
accordance with the provisions contained herein, be due and payable, defer all or part of such
interest payment.

We will make any such election by giving written notice to the trustee, paying agent and the
holders of the Subordinated Notes not less than 10 Business Days prior to the relevant
Interest Payment Date.

Required Deferral of Interest
If any Interest Payment is due to be made on a Required Interest Deferral Date, then we will
defer such Interest Payment (and payment of any Arrears of Interest), and we will not have
any obligation to make all or part of, such Interest Payment (or any payment of Arrears of
Interest). See "Summary Information--Questions and Answers."

out in "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Issuer Substitution" and subject to Aegon
having received the prior approval of the Supervisory Authority if required pursuant to the
Capital Adequacy Regulations, with respect to a Voluntary Issuer Substitution Event, Aegon

accordance with the occurrence of an Issuer Substitution, will have identical terms of the
Subordinated Notes, except as noted under "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Issuer
Substitution" and are such securities referred to in this prospectus supplement as the

Upon an occurrence of an Issuer Substitution, AFC will be released from its obligations
under the Subordinated Notes and the Indenture, and Aegon will succeed to, and be
substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, AFC under the Subordinated

Notes and the Indenture with the same effect as if Aegon had been named as issuer under the

Jurisdiction (other than the United States), subject to customary exceptions.

Non-Payment When Due; Limitation of Remedies
The Events of Default and rights to accelerate described, and certain remedies provided for,
in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities--Events of Default"
do not apply to the Subordinated Notes and the Subordinated Guarantee.

The Subordinated Notes, the Subordinated Guarantee and the Indenture provide for
acceleration of payment of the principal amount of the Subordinated Notes and interest then

accrued thereon, if any, (including any Arrears of Interest), only upon a Winding Up, as
described under "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Non-Payment When Due;
Limitation of Remedies."

In addition if a Non-Payment Event occurs and is continuing, holders of the Subordinated
Notes have the absolute and unconditional right to institute suit for the enforcement of any
Interest Payment that we do not timely elect to defer or are not obliged to defer, or any
payment of principal that we are not required to postpone. The trustee may not, however, in

Subordinated Notes into shares or other securities or other of Aegon's obligations or
obligations of another person, including by means of a variation to the terms of the
Substituted Subordinated Notes and the Subordinated Guarantee or any expropriation of the
Substituted Subordinated Notes or (ii) a reduction or cancellation of all, or a portion, of the
payment obligations under the Subordinated Guarantee, in each case, to give effect to the
exercise by the relevant resolution authority of such Dutch Bail-in Power. Each holder and
beneficial owner of a Subordinated Note (or a Substituted Subordinated Note) or any interest
therein and the Subordinated Guarantee further acknowledges, accepts and agrees that the

rights of the holders and beneficial owners of the Substituted Subordinated Notes or any
interest therein and the Subordinated Guarantee are (or will be) subject to, and will be varied,
if necessary, so as to give effect to, the exercise of any Dutch Bail-in Power by the relevant
resolution authority. In addition, by acquiring any Subordinated Notes (or any Substituted
Subordinated Notes), each holder and beneficial owner of a Subordinated Note (or a
Substituted Subordinated Note) or any interest therein and the Subordinated Guarantee
further acknowledges, accepts, agrees to be bound by, and consents to the exercise by the
relevant resolution authority of, any power to suspend any payment in respect of the
Substituted Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated Guarantee for a temporary period, and
acknowledges and agrees that the exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the relevant
resolution authority with respect to such Subordinated Guarantee or Substituted Subordinated
Notes (as applicable) shall not give rise to a default for purposes of Section 315(b) (Notice of
Default) and Section 315(c) (Duties of the Trustee in Case of Default) of the Trust Indenture
Act.

The occurrence of a Resolution Event in respect of Aegon will also trigger an Issuer

Substitution."

of banks, banking group companies, credit institutions, investment firms, insurance
companies, holding companies of insurance companies and/or financial conglomerates
incorporated in The Netherlands in effect and applicable in The Netherlands to Aegon or

recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms (including but not limited
to Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (the "Bank
Recovery and Resolution Directive" or "BRRD") and Regulation (EU) No 806/2014 of the
European Parliament and of the Council (the "SRM Regulation") in each case as amended
or superseded) and/or within the context of a Dutch resolution regime under the Dutch
Intervention Act (Wet bijzondere maatregelen financiële ondernemingen) or the Dutch Act
on Recovery & Resolution for Insurers (Wet herstel en afwikkeling van verzekeraars) and

any amendments thereto, or otherwise, pursuant to which obligations of a bank, banking
group company, credit institution, investment firm, insurance company, holding company of
an insurance company or financial conglomerate or any of its affiliates can be reduced,
cancelled and/or converted into shares or other securities or obligations of the obligor or any
other person (whether at the point of non-viability or as taken together with a resolution
action) or may be expropriated (and a reference to the "relevant resolution authority" is to
any authority with the ability to exercise a Dutch Bail-in Power).

Under the terms of the Subordinated Notes (or the Substituted Subordinated Notes) and the
Subordinated Guarantee, the exercise of the Dutch Bail-in Power by the relevant resolution

authority with respect to the Substituted Subordinated Notes or the Subordinated Guarantee
will not constitute a Winding Up of AFC or Aegon.

SUMMARY INFORMATION--QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
These questions and answers are intended to highlight selected information from this prospectus supplement to help you understand certain
features of the Subordinated Notes. This summary may not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should read the entire
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the full description of the Subordinated Notes, the financial data and related notes
and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making a decision to invest in
the Subordinated Notes. The terms capitalized below are defined terms which are defined under "Description of the Subordinated Notes" or in the
accompanying prospectus and have the same meaning when used herein.

When may we elect to defer interest?
In respect of any Interest Payment that would, in the absence of deferral in accordance with
the provisions contained herein, be due and payable, we may defer all or part of such Interest
Payment, subject to the mandatory interest payment provisions contained herein. We will
make any such election by giving written notice to the trustee, paying agent and the holders
of the Subordinated Notes not less than 10 Business Days prior to the relevant Interest
Payment Date.

When must interest be deferred?
If, as of any Interest Payment Date:

· a Mandatory Deferral Event has occurred and is continuing on such Interest

Payment Date, or

· the payment of such interest would itself cause a Mandatory Deferral Event,

then we will defer such Interest Payment (and payment of Arrears of Interest), and we will
not have any obligation to make all or part of, such Interest Payment (or any Arrears of
Interest). Additionally, such mandatory deferral will apply in respect of any interest payment
amounts due and payable under the Subordinated Guarantee. Any such failure to pay interest

on the Required Interest Deferral Date will not constitute an Event of Default or
Non-Payment Event by us, and will not give the holders of the Subordinated Notes or the
trustee any right to accelerate repayment of the Subordinated Notes. See "Description of the
Subordinated Notes--Non-Payment When Due; Limitation of Remedies."

A "Required Interest Deferral Date" means (a) each Interest Payment Date in respect of
