with a denomination of 100,000 each and integral multiples of 1,000 in excess thereof up to and including 199,000
at an issue price of 100 per cent. (the "Offering")

The Bonds are direct, unsecured, subordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank junior to all unsubordinated creditors of the Issuer, including policyholders of the Issuer.
Application has been made to Euronext Amsterdam N.V. ("Euronext") for up to 400,000,000 subordinated bonds due 2041 with a denomination of 100,000 each and
integral multiples of 1,000 in excess thereof up to and including 199,000 (the "Bonds") to be admitted to listing and trading on NYSE Euronext in Amsterdam ("Euronext
Amsterdam"), the regulated market of Euronext. The Bonds have the benefit of a guarantee from REAAL N.V. ("REAAL" and in its capacity as such, the "403-Statement
Provider") on the basis of a guarantee as referred to in Book 2, Section 403 of the Dutch Civil Code ("403-Statement").

This document together with the documents incorporated by reference herein constitute a prospectus for the purposes of Article 3 of Directive 2003/71/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public and admitted to trading, as amended by
2010/73/EC Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State (as defined below) (the "Prospectus Directive") and has been prepared in accordance with
Chapter 5.1 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht) and the rules promulgated thereunder (the "DFSA"), (the "Prospectus"). This Prospectus
has been approved by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (Stichting Autoriteit Financiële Markten) (the "AFM"). The Bonds are expected to be issued and
admitted to listing and trading on or about 15 April 2011 (the "Closing Date").

Up to the Interest Payment Date falling in 2021 (the "First Call Date") the Bonds will bear a fixed rate of interest of 9 per cent., payable annually in arrears on 15 April of each
calendar year (each an "Interest Payment Date"). If on the First Call Date the Bonds will not have been redeemed in full in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Bonds (the "Conditions"), the Bonds will bear a floating rate of interest of Euribor for 12 month deposits in euro plus a margin of 6.165 per cent.

Except on a Required Interest Deferral Date (as defined below), and subject to and in accordance with the Conditions, Interest (as defined below) on the Bonds shall be
payable on each Compulsory Interest Payment Date (as defined below). On any Interest Payment Date other than a Compulsory Interest Payment Date or a Required
Interest Deferral Date (any such date an "Optional Interest Payment Date"), the Issuer may elect to defer payment of interest accrued up to that date in respect of the
Bonds. Any unpaid interest shall as long as it remains unpaid constitute arrears of interest ("Arrears of Interest"). Arrears of Interest may, in accordance with the Conditions
and subject to, where such deferral was due to a Capital Adequacy Event, the prior approval of the Relevant Supervisory Authority to the extent required pursuant to the then
Applicable Capital Adequacy Regulations in order for the Bonds to qualify as regulatory capital, at the option of the Issuer be paid in whole or in part at any time, provided,
however, that all Arrears of Interest in respect of al Bonds for the time being outstanding shall become due and payable in full on whichever is the earliest of (a) the first
succeeding Compulsory Interest Payment Date, (b) the date of any redemption or substitution of the Bonds in accordance with Condition 5, and (c) the date upon which any
order is made or any request is granted for the imposition of emergency regulations (noodregeling) under the DFSA, bankruptcy (faillissement) of the Issuer or an order is
made or an effective resolution is passed for the dissolution (ontbinding) and subsequent liquidation of the Issuer.

If a Capital Adequacy Event (as defined below) has occurred and is continuing on any Interest Payment Date, the Issuer shall defer all or part of the relevant Interest Payment
(as defined below) on such Interest Payment Date (a "Required Interest Deferral Date") and the Issuer shall not have any obligation to make such Interest Payment, unless
the Interest Payment Date constitutes a Compulsory Interest Payment Date (as defined below).

The Bonds are scheduled to mature on the Interest Payment Date falling in 2041 (the "Maturity Date"). Provided that (i) no Capital Adequacy Event has occurred or is
continuing on such date and (ii) such redemption would itself not cause a Capital Adequacy Event, each Bond will be redeemed by the Issuer on the Maturity Date at its
principal amount outstanding together with accrued and unpaid interest and any Arrears of Interest, unless the Bonds are previously redeemed or purchased and cancelled in
full. Unless previously redeemed in full, the Issuer will have the option to redeem all of the Bonds in ful on the First Cal Date or on any Interest Payment Date thereafter at
their principal amount outstanding, together with accrued and unpaid interest and any Arrears of Interest, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions (the "Optional
Redemption"). In addition, at any time prior to the First Call Date, the Issuer may, subject to and in accordance with the Conditions, unless previously redeemed in full,
redeem the Bonds on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' irrevocable notice to the holders of the Bonds (the "Bondholders") and Dexia Banque Internationale à
Luxembourg (the "Principal Paying Agent") in case of a Tax Event., a Regulatory Event or a Rating Agency Event (all as defined below). In case of a Tax Event, Regulatory
Event or Rating Agency Event in accordance with Conditions 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e), the Issuer may, in its sole discretion, opt for an alternative to redemption by either
substituting the Bonds for new bonds or by modifying the Conditions provided that such alternative is not prejudicial to the interests of the Bondholders.

The Bonds are expected to be assigned, upon issuance, a 'Baa2' rating by Moody's Investors Service Limited ("Moody's") and a 'BBB' rating by Standard & Poor's Rating
Services, a division of The McGraw-Hil Companies, Inc. ("S&P" and together with Moody's, the "Rating Agencies"). The rating of the Bonds addresses the assessment
made by each of the Rating Agencies of the likelihood of full and timely payment of interest and ultimate payment of principal on or before the Maturity Date. A rating is not a
recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time. For a discussion of some of the risks associated with an
investment in the Bonds, see under 'Risk Factors' herein.

The Bonds will be initially represented by a temporary global bond in bearer form (a "Temporary Global Bond"), without coupons, which is expected to be deposited on or
about the Closing Date with a common safekeeper for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking, société anonyme ("Clearstream, Luxembourg").
Interests in the Temporary Global Bond will be exchangeable for interests in a permanent global bond (a "Permanent Global Bond"), without coupons not earlier than forty
(40) days after the Closing Date upon certification as to non-U.S. beneficial ownership. Interests in the Permanent Global Bond will only be exchangeable for Bonds in
definitive form upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event (as defined below). The expression "Global Bonds" means the Temporary Global Bond and the Permanent Global
Bond.

The Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the "Securities Act") or with any securities
regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit
of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act ("Regulation S"), except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Senior Creditors of the Issuer, present and future.

7

Senior Creditors shal mean present and future
creditors of the Issuer or the 403-Statement
Provider, as the case may be, (a) who are
unsubordinated creditors of the Issuer or the 403-
Statement Provider, as the case may be, including,
for the avoidance of doubt, any policyholders of the
Issuer or the 403-Statement Provider, as the case
may be, (b) whose claims are, or are expressed to
be, subordinated (whether only in the event of the
winding-up (faillissement of vereffening na

are subordinated creditors of the Issuer or the 403-

pari passu with, or junior to, the claims of the
Bondholders including, for the avoidance of doubt,
those whose claims relate to distribution on any
and all classes of share capital of the Issuer or the
403-Statement Provider, as the case may be.

Status of the 403-Statement

which, subject to a default of the Issuer in
accordance with Condition 7, constitutes a direct,
unsecured, subordinated obligation of the 403-
Statement Provider which ranks junior to al Senior
Creditors of the 403-Statement Provider, present
and future.

Remedy for Non-Payment
The sole remedy against the Issuer available to any
Bondholder for recovery of amounts owing in
respect of the Bonds wil be the institution of

accordance with Condition 7. The Bondholders shall
not have the right to petition for or institute
proceedings for the winding-up (faillissement of
vereffening na ontbinding) of the Issuer in the
Netherlands or to institute equivalent insolvency
proceedings pursuant to any laws in respect of any
default of the Issuer under the Bonds.

Winding- Up Claims
The Bonds will rank on a winding-up (faillissement
of vereffening na ontbinding) of the Issuer in priority
to distributions on all classes of share capital of the
Issuer and will rank pari passu and without

subordinated in right of payment to the claims of
