Aegon N.V.
(a Netherlands public company with limited liability)
5.500% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2048

We are issuing $800,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.500% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes due April 11, 2048, or Subordinated Notes. The Subordinated
Notes will be issued in denominations of $200,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, will constitute our direct, unsecured and subordinated securities and, in the
event of our bankruptcy, winding up, moratorium or emergency regulations being applied to us, will be subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of our
Senior Debt (as defined herein), present and future, but will rank senior to all our classes of share capital and to any Junior Subordinated Indebtedness.
The Subordinated Notes are scheduled to be repaid on April 11, 2048. 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 our first obtaining any required approval of our Supervisory Authority, (i) on April 11, 2028, or on any
interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Subordinated Notes at our option in whole (but not 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. We may also, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and subject to our first obtaining any required approval of our
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."
The Subordinated Notes will bear interest at an initial fixed rate of 5.500% per annum on their outstanding principal amount from (and including) the issuance date, payable in
U.S. dollars semi-annually in arrears on April 11 and October 11 of each year, commencing on October 11, 2018 to but excluding April 11, 2028, or the date of any earlier
redemption; thereafter, the Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the then-current six-month LIBOR plus 3.539%, payable semi-annually in
arrears on April 11 and October 11 of each year, and will reset semi-annually on each interest payment date commencing on April 11, 2028, in each case subject to the conditions
described under "Description of the Subordinated Notes." As more fully described in this 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 will apply to list the Subordinated Notes on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "AG48." 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-15.
The Subordinated Notes may be written down, 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."

424B2
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
2002/92/EC (as amended, the "Insurance Mediation 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 Directive. 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.

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
the case of a Non-Payment Event in respect of an Interest Payment (and with respect to a
Mandatory Interest Payment Date and any Arrears of Interest) declare the principal amount of
any outstanding Subordinated Note to be due and payable.

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). Any such failure to pay interest on the applicable Interest Payment 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."

Will arrears of interest bear interest?
Any unpaid interest will as long as it remains unpaid constitute arrears of interest ("Arrears
of Interest"). Arrears of Interest will not bear interest.

What is a Mandatory Interest Payment Date?
Subject to the exception below, Interest Payments (and any Arrears of Interest) will become
mandatorily due and payable on a Mandatory Interest Payment Date. A "Mandatory
Interest Payment Date" means an Interest Payment Date if any of the following events (any
such event, a "Mandatory Interest Payment Event") has occurred during a period of six
months prior to such Interest Payment Date:

· a dividend (including any distribution from reserves) was declared payable in the

general meeting of our shareholders, paid or made in respect of any common shares of
Aegon N.V.; or

· we have repurchased or otherwise acquired any common shares in our own capital
(other than shares repurchased or otherwise acquired by us, to the extent relevant, to
reduce our capital, in the context of our own buy-back program, if any, under any

equity derivative hedge structure or transaction, under any hedging of stock options
program or any other compensation benefit program, if any, in connection with
financial restructurings, mergers, acquisitions, split-offs, divestments or similar
corporate transactions);

provided; however, that if a Mandatory Deferral Event occurred during the Interest Period
immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date, such Interest Payment Date will only be

a Mandatory Interest Payment Date if such Mandatory Interest Payment Event occurred after
the relevant Mandatory Deferral Event, as applicable, and such Mandatory Deferral Event
has ceased to exist on such Interest Payment Date.

What is a Mandatory Deferral Event?
A Mandatory Deferral Event means that:

(a) we determine that we are not or, on the relevant date on which an Interest

Payment or a payment of principal would be made after taking into account
amounts payable on that date on the Subordinated Notes, will not be Solvent; or

(b) a Capital Adequacy Event has occurred and continues to exist or an Interest
Payment or a payment of principal on the relevant date would cause a Capital

Adequacy Event and a deferral of Interest Payments and/or payment of principal
is required under the then applicable Capital Adequacy Regulations;

provided, however, that the occurrence of (b) above will not constitute a Mandatory Deferral

Event:

(1) in respect of Interest Payments or Arrears of Interest, if:

· our Supervisory Authority has exceptionally waived the deferral of such interest

payment and/or payment of Arrears of Interest;

· paying the Interest Payment and/or Arrears of Interest does not further weaken our

solvency position as determined in accordance with the then applicable Capital
Adequacy Regulations; and

· the Minimum Capital Requirement will be complied with immediately after the

Interest Payment and/or payment of Arrears of Interest is made;

(2) in respect of payments of principal, if:

· our Supervisory Authority has exceptionally waived the deferral of such principal

payment;

· the Subordinated Notes are exchanged for or converted into another tier 1 or tier 2

basic own-fund of at least the same quality; and

· the Minimum Capital Requirement will be complied with immediately after the

principal payment is made.

See "Description of the Subordinated Notes--Deferral of Interest Payments--Mandatory

Interest Payments."

When are we Solvent?
We are Solvent if we are:

· able to pay our debts to Senior Creditors as they fall due and

· our assets exceed our liabilities (other than our liabilities to persons who are not

Senior Creditors).

For these purposes, "assets" refers to the non-consolidated gross assets of Aegon N.V. and
"liabilities" means the non-consolidated gross liabilities of Aegon N.V., in each case as

shown by the then latest published audited balance sheet of Aegon N.V. but adjusted for
contingencies and for subsequent events in such manner and to such extent as our Executive
Board, our auditors or, as the case may be, our liquidator may determine.

What is a Capital Adequacy Event?
A Capital Adequacy Event means that:

· in respect of Interest Payments and payments of principal, the amount of eligible `own
funds' (or any equivalent terminology employed by the then applicable Capital
Adequacy Regulations) of Aegon N.V. on a Group basis to cover the Solvency Capital
