PROCEEDS
The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be approximately EUR 7.26 billion after deduction
of commissions, fees (including any incentive fee payable at our sole discretion), and estimated
expenses of approximately EUR 0.24 billion.
PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXCHANGE RATES
On December 15, 2009, the buying rate was US$1.4538 per EUR 1.00 (as published by Bloomberg at
close of business New York time on December 15, 2009). In November 2009, the buying rate for Euro
recorded a high of US$1.5144 per EUR 1.00 and a low of US$1.4626 per EUR 1.00.
SHARE CAPITAL
The
registered share capital of ING Groep N.V. on settlement of the
Offering will increase by 1,768,412,544 ordinary
shares with a par value of EUR 0.24 each, such that the number of
ordinary shares outstanding will be equal to 3,831,560,513 ordinary shares.
RIGHTS ALLOTTED TO TREASURY SHARES
Treasury shares were allocated Tradable Rights, or Tradable Rights underlying ADS Rights, in the
Rights Offering. ING has sold 34.3 million Tradable Rights through private placements at an
average price of EUR 1.85 per Tradable Right. ING Groep N.V. used the proceeds to partially fund
the purchase of 10.4 million BDRs at a price of EUR 6.55 per BDR, which BDRs will be used to hedge
employee options.
DILUTION
As of September 30, 2009, our net book value (total assets less equity attributable to minority
interests and liabilities including Core Tier-I securities) was EUR 26.5 billion. Based on
2,028,278,185 ordinary shares outstanding (outstanding ordinary shares after deducting ordinary
shares held by Group companies), the net book value per share was EUR 13.07 as of the same date.
If the Rights Offering had been executed on September 30, 2009 and all of the New BDRs (including
New ADSs representing New BDRs) had been subscribed, ING Groep N.V.s net book value after
deducting fees and expenses (excluding any incentive fee payable at our sole discretion) associated
with the Offering would have been EUR 33.8 billion, or EUR 8.92 per outstanding ordinary share (or
US$13.50 based on an exchange rate of US$1.5134 per EUR 1.00 as published by Bloomberg at close of
business New York time on November 25, 2009), based on 3,786,150,053 ordinary shares outstanding
(excluding ordinary shares held by Group companies and assuming the purchase of BDRs on the
open-market with the sale proceeds of Tradable Rights in respect of ordinary shares held by Group
companies). This would represent a direct decrease of EUR 4.15 in the net book value per
outstanding ordinary share. As a result, investors purchasing New BDRs or New ADSs in the Rights
Offering would not have experienced immediate dilution. Similarly, investors purchasing New BDRs
or New ADSs in the Global Offering at a price of EUR 6.68, or its US dollar equivalent in the case
of New ADS, would not have experienced immediate dilution.
