Delta Lloyd reiterates its intention to pursue a sale of its shareholding in Van Lanschot

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, AUSTRALIA OR JAPAN OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE WOULD BE UNLAWFUL

Delta Lloyd notes the publication of Van Lanschot's Strategy Update on 26 April.

Delta Lloyd is supportive of Van Lanschot's strategic direction and objectives, and, reflecting its capital action plan, remains committed to its previously stated intention to pursue a sale of the shareholding in Van Lanschot by way of a marketed offering in the course of 2016. Last week's presentation represents a further positive step on this timeline.

Van Lanschot places a high value on having a stable shareholder base that supports its strategy and positioning as a specialised, independent wealth manager, and has therefore agreed to support the intended offering.

Goldman Sachs International and UBS Limited have been appointed by DELTA LLOYD as Joint Global Coordinators and Joint Bookrunners of the intended marketed offering.
