These shares will be held as treasury shares and will be used to pay future stock dividends.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAegon will also repurchase common shares for an amount of EUR 61 million in the context of share-based variable compensation plans for the years 2017-2021. This will be done to neutralize the dilutive effect of the shares already vested and those to be vested in the future for these plans. The repurchased shares will be held as treasury shares until allocation to the plan participants.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe repurchase of shares will commence on July 8, 2021 and is expected to be completed on or before August 25, 2021.
