Agenda item 1 Opening

Mr David Cole, Chair of the Supervisory Board of NN Group N.V. ('Company'), acts as Chair of the meeting.

The Chair welcomes the shareholders to the annual general meeting (AGM) of NN Group, noting that it is being held as a hybrid event - with shareholders being given the option to attend in person or virtually - in contrast to the virtual events of the past two years. The event is taking place at the NH Hotel in The Hague.

The Chair introduces the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Board who are present on the podium: Ms Hélène Vletter-van Dort, Vice-Chair of the Supervisory Board and Chair of the Supervisory Board's Remuneration Committee; Mr David Knibbe, CEO of NN Group; and Mr Delfin Rueda, CFO of NN Group.

The Chair also introduces Mr Hans Schoen, member of the Supervisory Board and Chair of the Supervisory Board's Audit Committee, and Ms Janet Stuijt, Company Secretary and member of the Management Board as General Counsel. The other members of the Supervisory and Management Boards are in the room or following the meeting via webcast.

The Chair introduces five other guests: Mr Dick Korf, external auditor representing KPMG; Ms Manon Cremers, civil-law notary at Stibbe, whose role is to cast all votes on the basis of the electronic proxies with voting instructions granted

to her; Ms Annemiek van Melick, intended to be appointed as Executive Board member and CFO of NN Group as the successor to Mr Rueda; Ms Pauline van der Meer Mohr, nominated for appointment as Supervisory Board member; and Mr Jan Holsboer, former chair of the NN Group Supervisory Board.

The Chair states that the meeting will be conducted in English. Dutch headsets are available, and the webcast will be available in both English and Dutch, so participants can listen to the meeting in their preferred language.

The Chair confirms that the shareholders have been convened in accordance with the applicable law and the Company's articles of association. The General Meeting is thus able to validly adopt resolutions. No shareholders have submitted proposals to be included on the agenda.

At the record date, 21 April 2022, the issued share capital consisted of 317,878,210 ordinary shares. At that date, 14,373,104 ordinary shares were held by NN Group N.V., so no votes can be cast on these shares. Altogether, 303,505,106 votes are eligible for casting. The present and represented share capital will be announced prior to the first voting item.

The entire meeting will be recorded, in order to be able to draw up the minutes to the meeting.

The Chair elaborates on the procedure and order of the meeting: shareholders were given the opportunity to submit questions on agenda items in advance of the meeting, but no such questions have been received. All shareholders present may also ask questions during the meeting. Shareholders with questions are asked to first state their name and the organisation they represent - if any - so these can be included in the meeting minutes.

Some voting items will be briefly summarised; an extensive explanation of these items is included in the convocation letter. The proposals that will be put to a vote regard the full proposals as included in the convocation letter. Votes may be cast at any time during the meeting, until the end of the last voting item on the agenda - item 11. Voting results will only be shown at the end of the meeting.

For shareholders who have registered to virtually attend and vote during this meeting, a 'Hybrid General Meetings Manual and Frequently Asked Questions document' is published on NN's website. Shareholders who are present in person and who have received a mobile voting device are requested

to keep the device with them and only hand it in upon final departure. Instructions for the of use of the mobile voting device or voting on a personal device are included in the presentation.

The Chair closes agenda item 1 and moves to agenda item 2.

Agenda item 2

2021 Annual Report

The Chair hands the floor to Mr David Knibbe, CEO of NN Group. This speech has been recorded here in its original form, with the audio version prevailing.

Mr Knibbe: 'Good morning everyone. I hope you are well. After two years in a row of having a virtual annual general meeting, we are happy to be able to welcome our shareholders today in person again as well as virtually.

In my presentation today, I will first reflect on the recent developments in the world and how we navigate these times of change. After that, I will look back on how our company performed in 2021, how we continue to focus on creating value for all our stakeholders, and our priorities for the coming years. As part of that, I will update you on our responsible investing approach and more specifically on climate action.

In many ways, these are times of rapid change. The world is witnessing several longer-term economic, social, geopolitical and technological developments. Most of those developments have limited direct impact on our company, but they can have far-reaching consequences for our customers and the societies in which we operate. And it is in times like these that we can make a difference for our customers and other stakeholders, and help them care for what matters most to them.

'In 2021, the pandemic entered its second year and continued to dominate daily life. The loosening of lockdown restrictions fuelled a global economic rebound. Recovery however has been uneven, due to a variety of factors including differences in vaccination rates between countries, supply shortages and a rise in energy prices. Inflation has risen in many parts of the world, ending

a prolonged period of low inflation. Central banks are responding by announcing interest rate increases and starting to phase out stimulus programmes. It is still unclear whether the high inflation is structural and whether or not interest rate rises will be temporary.

'And, in the beginning of this year, the war in Ukraine of course caused new dynamics in global markets. Let me take this opportunity to say that our thoughts are with everyone affected by the war in Ukraine in the past three months. The impact on people's lives has been devastating. As NN, we have activities in four countries that border Ukraine, but we do not have business activities in Ukraine or Russia. Our activities have not been directly affected and our direct investment exposure is limited. However we support the people in Ukraine and the refugees where we can. For example, as a company, but also NN colleagues

individually, we have made donations of around EUR 2 million to humanitarian aid relief, spread across local and international organisations.

'Looking back on recent years, I think it is fair to say that many of the old ways of doing things will probably not be the ways of the future. For instance, there is increased attention for risk around health and living. The pandemic has prompted people to reflect on the risks in their lives: what happens if I cannot work, or if somebody in my family falls ill?

'This increased risk awareness has led to a higher demand for protection products; which in turn has led to growth in new business. We were able to welcome new customers in 2021, and we also saw higher retention rates among existing customers.

'When launching our new strategy in 2020, we announced a set of financial targets to monitor our ambitions for growth and profitability. We aim to achieve operating capital generation - or OCG - of 1.5 billion euros in 2023. In 2021, we reported OCG of almost 1.6 billion euros. Please note that this included the OCG of our asset manager

  1. Investment Partners which was sold to Goldman Sachs last month, so, excluding that, OCG was just short our target. Our commercial and financial performance was strong across all business segments in 2021.

'Let me share a couple of highlights. In the Netherlands, our Life & Pensions business again posted strong results. We are capturing the growth opportunities in the Dutch pension market with a strong increase in Defined Contribution assets. The Non-life business in particular posted strong underwriting results. As the number one player in the Dutch on-life market, we are in a unique position to benefit from our scale in terms of efficiency and underwriting.

'The results of Insurance Europe increased substantially, reflecting higher life and pension fees across the region. The strong market recovery from low sales in 2020 resulted in higher sales in Japan. The value of new business in both international units grew strongly over the year.

'The Dutch housing market is experiencing growth with house prices rising steeply, and there is fierce competition among mortgage providers. Despite this, NN Bank originated a record volume of high-quality mortgages

of almost 10 billion euros in 2021.
