SNS REAAL N.V. ('SNS REAAL') today announces its proposal to holders of the Notes (the 'Noteholders') to terminate the Replacement Covenant (as defined in the Explanatory Memorandum) (the 'Proposal'). The terms and conditions of the Proposal are set out in the Explanatory Memorandum dated 27 May 2010 (the 'Explanatory Memorandum'). Terms not defined in this announcement will have the meaning ascribed to them in the Explanatory Memorandum.

The proposed termination of the Replacement Covenant (the 'Termination') in relation to the Notes will require the consent of a majority by principal amount of the Noteholders, as more fully described in the Explanatory Memorandum. If Consent Instructions are received on or prior to the Expiration Time, subject to a majority of the Noteholders submitting Consent Instructions in favour of the Termination, SNS REAAL will pay, on the Consent Fee Payment Date, a Consent Fee for disbursement to each Noteholder who has delivered a Consent Instruction for a vote in favour of the Termination. Noteholders should consider carefully the risks set out in the Explanatory Memorandum when making a decision whether to vote in favour of the Proposal.

The Consent Solicitation will commence on 27 May 2010 and will expire at 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 10 June 2010, unless terminated sooner by SNS REAAL as more fully described in the Explanatory Memorandum. The Consent Fee is expected to be paid on the Consent Fee Payment Date, which is expected to be on or about 15 June 2010.
