Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 10 7.3 Accounting policies 7.3.1 Changes in EU endorsed published IFRS Standards and Harmonisation between a.s.r. and Aegon NL Interpretations effective in 2024 Following further alignment of methodologies and application of policies with Aegon NL, selected comparative figures have also been restated to ensure consistency and comparability. These restatements In 2024, no changes in EU endorsed published IFRS Standards and Interpretations are relevant to a.s.r. are part of the ongoing harmonisation process and reflect the integration of Aegon NL into a.s.r.’s financial reporting framework. 7.3.2 Changes in presentations The current presentation differs from last year’s presentation as recognised in the 2023 financial statements, primarily following the sale of Knab, further harmonisation between a.s.r. and Aegon NL and the refinements related to the implementation of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9. These immaterial (on a qualitative basis) changes in presentation have no impact on a.s.r.’s past or future financial position, financial performance, or cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. The following restatements, given their nature, are explained in more detail: Reclassification of Knab to discontinued operations On 1 February 2024, a.s.r. reached an agreement to sell Knab to the BAWAG Group AG. Closing of the transaction took place on 1 November 2024. Knab’s results have therefore been reclassified from continuing to discontinued operations, in line with the requirements of IFRS 5. This reclassification has resulted in a single amount of € 82 million presented as result after tax from discontinued operations in the 2023 consolidated income statement and € 7 million presented as other comprehensive income after tax from discontinued operations in the 2023 consolidated statement of comprehensive income. For further details, please refer to section 7.4.6. Changes to the presentation of the Consolidated statement of cash flows: Due to a reassessment of the presentation of the cash flow statement in 2024, the 2023 comparative figures for the cash flows from operating activities were adjusted for the revaluation through profit or loss (€ 357 million) as part of the adjustment for non-cash items included in the result, with a corresponding opposite adjustment in the changes in operating assets and liabilities. 7 interpretations, .3.3 Upcoming changes not yet effective in published in 2024 IFRS standards and The following new standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations, relevant to a.s.r. and published prior to 1 January 2025 and effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025, were not early adopted by a.s.r.: • IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (2027); IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1, carrying forward many of the requirements in IAS 1 unchanged and introduces the following key requirements: • present specified categories and defined subtotals in the income statement; • provide disclosures on management-defined performance measures (MPMs) in the notes to the financial statements; • improve aggregation and disaggregation; • the operating profit subtotal is the starting point for the statement of cash flows when presenting the operating cash flows under the direct method. a.s.r. is currently working to identify all impacts the amendments will have on the primary financial statements and notes to the financial statements. IFRS 18 will be applied retrospectively. Cash collateral The presentation of cash collateral paid (2023: €2.3 billion) has been changed to align more with industry practice and is included in other assets and not in investments. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Page 180 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 11 7.3.4 Key accounting policies A. Estimates and assumptions The preparation of the financial statements requires a.s.r. to make estimates, assumptions and judgements in applying accounting policies that have an effect on the reported amounts in the financial statements. These relate primarily to the following: • The estimated useful life, residual value and fair value of property, plant and equipment, investment property, and intangible assets (see accounting policy C, D and P); • The fair value and impairments of unlisted financial instruments (see accounting policy B and E); • The recoverable amount of impaired assets (see accounting policy B and E ); • The fair value used to determine the net asset value in acquisitions (see section 7.4.5); • The fair value used in measuring the assets held for sale and liabilities related to the assets held for sale (see section 7.4.6); • The measurement of insurance contract liabilities and liabilities arising from direct participating insurance contracts (see section 7.5.13.4); • Actuarial assumptions used for measuring employee benefit obligations (see section 7.5.15); • When forming provisions, the required estimate of existing obligations arising from past events (see section 7.5.16). The estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best knowledge of current facts, actions and events. The actual outcomes may ultimately differ from the results reported earlier on the basis of estimates and assumptions. A detailed explanation of the estimates and assumptions are given in the relevant notes to the consolidated financial statements. As from the date of the Aegon NL business combination, harmonisation of assumptions and methods between Aegon NL and a.s.r. is in progress and is expected to continue in the coming years. a.s.r. takes into account in the expense assumptions the estimated synergy effects from the Aegon NL business combination for the part that can be assessed within the budget period. B. Fair value of assets and liabilities The fair value is the price that a.s.r. would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the transaction date or reporting date in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability and assuming the highest and best use for non-financial assets. Where possible, a.s.r. determines the fair value of assets and liabilities on the basis of quoted prices in an active market. In the absence of an active market for a financial instrument, the fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Although valuation techniques are based on observable market data where possible, results are affected by the assumptions used, such as discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. In the unlikely event that the fair value of a financial instrument cannot be measured, it is carried at cost. Fair value hierarchy The following three hierarchical levels are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments when accounting for assets and liabilities at fair value and disclosing the comparative fair value of assets and liabilities: Level 1. Fair value based on quoted prices in an active market Level 1 includes assets and liabilities whose value is determined by quoted (unadjusted) prices in the primary active market for identical assets or liabilities. A financial instrument is quoted in an active market if: • Quoted prices are readily and regularly available (from an exchange, dealer, broker, sector organisation, third party pricing service, or a regulatory body); and • These prices represent actual and regularly occurring transactions on an at arm’s length basis. Financial instruments in this category primarily consist of bonds and equities listed in active markets. Cash and cash equivalents (excluding money market instruments), reverse repurchase agreements and cash collateral received are also included as level 1. Level 2. Fair value based on observable market data Determining fair value on the basis of Level 2 involves the use of valuation techniques that use inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is derived from prices of identical or similar assets and liabilities). These observable inputs are obtained from a broker or third party pricing service and include: • Quoted prices in active markets for similar (not identical) assets or liabilities; • Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; • Input variables other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability. These include interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, volatility, loss ratio, credit risks and default percentages. This category primarily includes: I. Financial instruments: unlisted fixed-interest preference shares and interest rate contracts; II. Financial instruments: loans (excluding mortgage loans and reverse repurchase agreements); III. Other financial assets and liabilities.1 I. Financial instruments: unlisted fixed-interest preference shares and interest rate contracts This category includes unlisted fixed-interest preference shares and interest rate contracts. The valuation techniques for financial instruments use present value calculations and in the case of derivatives, include forward pricing and swap models. The observable market data contains yield curves based on company ratings and characteristics of the unlisted fixed-interest preference shares.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 12 II. Financial instruments: Loans (excluding mortgage loans and reverse repurchase agreements) The fair value of the loans is based on the discounted cash flow method. It is obtained by calculating the present value based on expected future cash flows and assuming an interest rate curve used in the market that includes an additional spread based on the risk profile of the counterparty. III. Other financial assets and liabilities For other financial assets and liabilities where the fair value is disclosed these fair values are based on observable market inputs, primarily being the price paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability on initial recognition, assuming that the transactions have taken place on an at arm’s length basis. Valuation techniques using present value calculations are applied using current interest rates where the payment terms are longer than one year. Level 3. Fair value not based on observable market data The fair value of the level 3 assets and liabilities are determined in whole or in part using a valuation technique based on assumptions that are not supported by prices from observable current market transactions in the same instrument and for which any significant inputs are not based on available observable market data. The financial assets and liabilities in this category are assessed individually. Valuation techniques are used to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The basic principle of fair value measurement is still to determine a fair, at arm’s length price. Unobservable inputs therefore reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are generally based on the available observable data (adjusted for factors that contribute towards the value of the asset) and own source information. This category primarily includes: I. Financial instruments: private equity investments (or private equity partners) and equity funds third parties directly investing in real estate; II. Financial instruments: mortgage loans and mortgage equity funds; III. Investment property, real estate equity funds associates, rural property contracts, buildings for own use and plant (e.g. wind farms); IV. Financial instruments: asset-backed securities. I. Financial instruments: private equity investments and real estate equity funds third parties The main non-observable market input for private equity investments and equity funds third parties directly investing in real estate is the net asset value of the investment as published by the private equity company (or partner) and real estate equity funds respectively. II. Financial instruments: mortgage loans and mortgage equity funds The fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is based on the discounted cash flow method. It is obtained by calculating the present value based on expected future cash flows and assuming an interest rate curve used in the market that includes an additional spread based on the risk profile of the counterparty. The valuation method used to determine the fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio derives the spread from consumer rates and includes assumptions for originating cost and risks. The method of determining the fair value of the mortgage equity funds is similar to that of mortgage loans. III. Investment property, real estate equity funds associates, rural property contracts, buildings for own use and plant The following categories of investment properties, buildings for own use and plant are recognised and methods of calculating fair value are distinguished: • Residential – based on reference transaction and discounted cash flow method; • Retail – based on reference transaction and income capitalisation method; • Rural – based on reference transaction and discounted cash flow method; • Offices – based on reference transaction and discounted cash flow method (including buildings for own use); • Other investment property – based on reference transaction and discounted cash flow method; • Property under development – based on both discounted cash flow and income capitalisation method; • Plant—based on reference transaction and discounted cash flow method. The following valuation methods are available for the calculation of fair value by the external professional appraisers for investment property, including real estate equity funds associates, rural property contracts, buildings for own use and plant: Reference transactions Independent professional appraisers use transactions in comparable properties and plant as a reference for determining the fair value of the property and plant. The reference transactions of comparable objects are generally based on observable data consisting of the land register ‘Kadaster’ and the rural land price monitor as published by the Dutch government ‘grondprijsmonitor’ in an active property market and in some instances accompanied by own use information. The external professional appraisers valuate the property or plant using the reference transaction in combination with the following valuation methods to ensure the appropriate valuation of the property: • Discounted cash flow method; • Income capitalisation method (property only). Discounted cash flow method Under the discounted cash flow method, fair value is estimated using assumptions regarding the benefits and liabilities of ownership over the asset’s life including an exit or terminal value. This method involves the projection of a series of cash flows on the investment property or plant dependent on the duration of the lease contracts. A market-derived discount rate is applied to these projected cash flow series in order to establish the present value of the cash flows associated with the asset. The exit yield is normally determined separately, and differs from the discount rate.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 13 The duration of the cash flows and the specific timing of inflows and outflows are determined by events such as rent reviews, lease renewal and related re-letting, redevelopment, or refurbishment. The appropriate duration is typically driven by market behaviour, which depends on the class of investment property. Periodic cash flow is typically estimated as gross rental income less vacancy (apart from the rural category), non-recoverable expenses, collection losses, lease incentives, maintenance costs, agent and commission costs and other operating and management expenses. The series of periodic net operating income, along with an estimate of the terminal value anticipated at the end of the projection period, is then discounted. For the categories residential, offices and other in applying the discounted cash flow method, the significant inputs are the discount rate and market rental value. These inputs are verified with the following market observable data (that are adjusted to reflect the state and condition, location, development potential etc. of the specific property): • Market rent per square meter for renewals and their respective re-letting rates; • Reviewed rent per square meter; • Investment transactions of comparable objects; • 10 Year Dutch Government Bond Yield (%) as published by the DNB. When applying the discounted cash flow method for rural valuations, the significant inputs are the discount rate and market lease values. These inputs are verified with the following market observable data (that are adjusted to reflect the state and condition, location, development potential etc. of the specific property): • Market value per acre per region in accordance with the ‘rural land price monitor’; • 10 Year Dutch Government Bond Yield (%) as published by the DNB. Income capitalisation method Under the income capitalisation method, a property’s fair value is estimated based on the normalised net operating income generated by the property, which is divided by the capitalisation rate (the investor’s rate of return). The difference between gross and net rental income includes the same expense categories as those for the discounted cash flow method with the exception that certain expenses are not measured over time, but included on the basis of a time weighted average, such as the average lease-up costs. Under the income capitalisation method, rents above or below the market rent are capitalised separately. The significant inputs for retail valuations are the reversionary yield and the market or reviewed rental value. These inputs are generally verified with the following observable data (that are adjusted to reflect the state and condition, location, development potential etc. of the specific property): • Market rent per square meter for renewals; • Reviewed rent per square meter (based on the rent reviews performed in accordance with Section 303, Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code). The fair value of investment properties and buildings for own use, are appraised annually. Valuations are conducted by independent professional appraisers who hold recognised and relevant professional qualifications and have recent experience in the location and category of the property being valued. Market value property valuations were prepared in accordance with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors879241 (RICS) Valuation -001 Standards, -Part 7th -2 Edition (the ‘Red Book’) 28Mar25 . a.s.r. provides 13:48 adequate information to the professional appraisers, in order to conduct a comprehensive valuation. The professional appraisers are changed or rotated at least once every three years. IV. Financial instruments: asset-backed securities The fair value of the asset-backed securities is based on quotes published by an independent data vendor. Transfers between levels The hierarchical level per individual instrument, or group of instruments, is reassessed at every reporting period. If the instrument, or group of instruments, no longer complies with the criteria of the level in question, it is transferred to the hierarchical level that does meet the criteria. A transfer can for instance be when the market becomes less liquid or when quoted market prices for the instrument are no longer available. C. Intangible assets Intangible assets are carried at cost, less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The residual value and the estimated useful life of intangible assets are assessed on each balance sheet date and adjusted where applicable. Goodwill Acquisitions by a.s.r. are accounted for using the acquisition method. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of a.s.r.’s share of the net identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired company at acquisition date. If there is no excess (purchase gain), the carrying amount is directly recognised through the income statement. At the acquisition date, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units (CGUs) that are expected to benefit from the business combination. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortised. a.s.r. performs an impairment test annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances warrant so, to ascertain whether goodwill has been subject to impairment. As part of this, the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which the goodwill has been allocated is compared with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of a CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The carrying value is determined as the net asset value including goodwill. The methodologies applied to arrive at the best estimate of the recoverable amount involves two steps. In the first step of the impairment test, the best estimate of the recoverable amount of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated is determined separately based on Price to Earnings or Price to Book ratios (fair value less cost to sell model). The ratio(s) used per CGU depends on the characteristics of the entity in question. The main assumptions in this valuation are the multiples for the aforementioned ratios. These are developed internally but are either derived from or corroborated against market information that is related to observable transactions in the market for comparable businesses. If the outcome of the first step indicates that the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying value may not be sufficient to support the amount of goodwill allocated to the CGU, step two is performed. In step two an additional analysis is performed in order to determine a recoverable amount in a manner 183 that better addresses the specific characteristics of the relevant CGU.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 14 The additional analysis is based on internal value-in-use models, wherein managements assumptions in relation to cash flow projections for budget periods up to and including five years are used and, if deemed justified, expanded to a longer period given the nature of the insurance activities. Other assumptions, such as the (pre-tax) discount rate and the steady state growth rate, are determined on the advice of an independent external party and are based on a Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). This methodology is based on a risk-free rate plus a risk premium. Operating assumptions are best estimate assumptions and based on historical data where available. Economic assumptions are based on observable market data and projections of future trends. If the recoverable amount is lower than its carrying amount, the difference is directly charged to the income statement as an impairment loss. In the event of impairment, a.s.r. first reduces the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the CGU. After that, the carrying amount of the other assets included in the unit is reduced pro rata to the carrying amount of all the assets in the unit. D. Investment property Investment property is property held to earn rent or for capital appreciation or both. Property interests held under operating leases are classified and accounted for as investment property. In some cases, a.s.r. is the owner-occupier of investment properties. If owner-occupied properties cannot be sold separately, they are treated as investment property only if a.s.r. holds an insignificant portion for use in the supply of services or for administrative purposes. Property held for own uses (owner-occupied) is recognised within property, plant and equipment. Investment property is primarily recognised using the fair value model. After initial recognition, a.s.r. remeasures all of its investment property (see accounting policy B) whereby any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of the specific investment property is recognised in the income statement under fair value gains and losses. Residential property is generally let for an indefinite period. Other investment property is let for defined periods under leases that cannot be terminated early. Some contracts contain renewal options. Rentals are accounted for as investment income in the period to which they relate. If there is a change in the designation of property, it can lead to: • Reclassification from property, plant and equipment to investment property: at the end of the period of owner-occupation or at inception of an operating lease with a third party; or • Reclassification from investment property to property, plant and equipment: at the commencement of owner-occupation or at the start of developments initiated with a view to selling the property to a third party. The following categories of investment property are recognised by a.s.r. based primarily on the techniques used in determining the fair value of the investment property: • Retail; • Residential; • Rural; • Offices; • Other (consisting primarily of parking); • Investment property under development. Property under development for future use as investment property is recognised as investment property. The valuation of investment property takes (expected) vacancies into account. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition or development of an asset are capitalised and are part of the cost of that asset. Borrowing costs are capitalised when the following conditions are met: • Expenditures for the asset and borrowing costs are incurred; and • Activities are undertaken that are necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use. Borrowing costs are no longer capitalised when the asset is ready for use or sale. If the development of assets is interrupted for a longer period, capitalisation of borrowing costs is suspended. If the construction is completed in stages and each part of an asset can be used separately, the borrowing costs for each part that reaches completion are no longer capitalised. E. Financial assets and financial liabilities Recognition and initial measurement a.s.r. recognises deposits and loans and borrowings on the date on which they originate. All other financial instruments are recognised at the transaction date, which is the date on which a.s.r. becomes party to the contractual stipulations of the instrument. Financial assets or financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus, for a financial asset or financial liability not measured at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. Classification and subsequent measurement When a.s.r. becomes party to a financial asset contract, the related assets are classified into one of the following categories: • Amortised cost; • Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI); or • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The classification of the financial assets is determined at initial recognition. The classification and measurement of certain financial assets (debt instruments) is based on a.s.r.’s business models in which a financial asset is managed, and its contractual cash flow characteristics.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 15 Financial assets at amortised cost A financial asset (debt instrument) can be measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as FVTPL: • It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and • Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. This is known as the SPPI test. Debt instruments at amortised cost include mortgage loans and private loans held by Aegon Bank N.V. (Knab) and Aegon Hypotheken B.V. (Aegon hypotheken). Financial assets that are designated as hedged items are measured in accordance with the requirements for hedge accounting. Financial assets at FVOCI Financial assets at FVOCI can be divided into debt instruments and equity instruments. A debt instrument can be measured at FVOCI if it meets both the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL: • It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and • Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. Debt instruments at FVOCI are measured at fair value. Unrealised fair value gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income, and are subsequently reclassified to profit or loss when realised. Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest rate. Debt instruments at FVOCI are subject to the impairment requirements. a.s.r. has only classified the bonds portfolio held by Knab at FVOCI. Equity instruments can be measured at FVOCI if they are not held for trading. There is no subsequent recycling of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment if elected to measure the equity investments as FVOCI. a.s.r. classifies most equity instruments at FVOCI to reduce volatility in the income statement. Financial assets at FVTPL All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI, as described above, are measured at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL include: • Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting; • Financial assets that are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, such as:—Debt instruments for which a.s.r. has identified the business model Other;—Investments related to direct participating contracts;—Financial assets held for trading; • Associates for which a.s.r. elects to measure at FVTPL under IFRS 9. Hedge accounting (see also risk management section in section 7.8) To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship is designated and formally documented at inception, detailing the particular risk management objective and strategy for the hedge (which includes the item and risk that is being hedged), the derivative that is being used and how hedge effectiveness is being assessed. A derivative has to be effective in accomplishing the objective of offsetting either changes in fair value or cash flows for the risk being hedged. The effectiveness of the hedging relationship is evaluated on a prospective and retrospective basis using qualitative and quantitative measures of correlation. A hedging relationship is considered effective if the results of the hedging instrument are within a ratio of 80% to 125% of the results of the hedged item. a.s.r. has elected to continue to apply the hedge accounting requirements of IAS 39 for macro fair value hedges (EU ‘carve out’) on adoption of IFRS 9. As part of its asset liability management, a.s.r. enters into economic hedges to limit its risk exposure at Knab and Aegon hypotheken. These transactions are assessed to determine whether hedge accounting can and should be applied. a.s.r. currently applies hedge accounting for fair value hedges. Fair value hedges a.s.r. applies fair value hedge accounting to portfolio hedges of interest rate risk (fair value macro hedging) under the EU ‘carve out’ of EU-IFRS. The EU ‘carve out’ macro hedging enables a group of derivatives (or proportions thereof) to be viewed in combination and jointly designated as the hedging instrument and removes some of the limitations in fair value hedge accounting. Under the EU ‘carve out’, ineffectiveness in fair value hedge accounting only arises when the revised projection of the amount of cash flows in scheduled time buckets falls below the designated amount of that bucket. a.s.r. applies fair value hedge accounting for portfolio hedges of interest rate risk (macro hedging) under the EU ‘carve out’ to mortgage loans. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognised in the income statement, together with the fair value adjustment on the mortgage loans (hedged items) insofar as attributable to interest rate risk (the hedged risk). If the hedge relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the cumulative adjustment of the hedged item is, in the case of interest bearing instruments, amortised through the income statement over the remaining term of the original hedge or recognised directly when the hedged item is derecognised. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Page 185 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 16 Knab and Aegon hypotheken hold portfolios of long-term fixed rate mortgages and therefore are exposed to changes in fair value due to movements in market interest rates. Knab and Aegon hypotheken manage this risk exposure by entering into pay fixed/receive floating interest rate swaps. Only the interest rate risk element is hedged and therefore other risks, such as credit risk, are managed but not hedged by Knab and Aegon hypotheken. This hedging strategy is applied to the portion of exposure that is not naturally offset against matching positions held by Knab and Aegon hypotheken. Changes in fair value of the long-term fixed rate mortgages arising from changes in interest rate are usually the largest component of the overall change in fair value. This strategy is designated as a fair value hedge and its effectiveness is assessed by comparing changes in the fair value of the loans attributable to changes in the benchmark rate of interest with changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps. Knab and Aegon hypotheken establish the hedging ratio by matching the notional of the derivatives with the principal of the portfolio being hedged. Possible sources of ineffectiveness are as follows: • Differences between the expected and actual volume of prepayments, as Knab and Aegon hypotheken hedge to the expected repayment date taking into account expected prepayments based on past experience; • Difference in the discounting between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, as cash collateralised interest rate swaps are discounted using Overnight Indexed Swaps (OIS) discount curves, which are not applied to the fixed rate mortgages; • Hedging derivatives with a non-zero fair value at the date of initial designation as a hedging instrument; and • Counterparty credit risk which impacts the fair value of uncollateralised interest rate swaps but not the hedged items. Knab and Aegon hypotheken manage the interest rate risk arising from fixed rate mortgages by entering into interest rate swaps on a monthly basis. The exposure from these portfolios frequently changes due to new loans originated, contractual repayments and early prepayments made by customers in each period. As a result, Knab and Aegon hypotheken adopt a dynamic hedging strategy (sometime referred to as a ‘macro’ or ‘portfolio’ hedge) to hedge the exposure profile by closing and entering into new swap agreements at each month-end. Knab and Aegon hypotheken use the portfolio fair value hedge of interest rate risk to recognise fair value changes related to changes in interest rate risk in the mortgage portfolio, and therefore reduce the profit or loss volatility that would otherwise arise from changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps alone. Accrued interest In line with Solvency II reporting a.s.r. accounts for debt instruments at their “dirty” fair value, thus including any related accrued interest. Business model assessment The business model is determined at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. a.s.r.’s business models refer to how a.s.r. manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. a.s.r. identifies the business model Hold to Collect for the mortgage loans and private loans held by Knab and Aegon hypotheken and for its other financial assets, and identifies the business model Hold to Collect & Sell for the bonds portfolio held by Knab. All other debt instruments are mandatorily designated as at FVTPL (business model Other). Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) For the purpose of this assessment, principal is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. However, the principal may change over time – e.g. if there are repayments of principal. Interest is defined as consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks (e.g. liquidity risk) and costs (e.g. administrative costs), as well as a profit margin that is consistent with a basic lending arrangement. Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are SPPI. a.s.r. assesses the SPPI for the loans and bonds portfolio held by Knab and Aegon hypotheken and for its other financial assets. All other debt instruments are mandatorily designated as at FVTPL (business model Other). Subsequent measurement and gains and losses Financial assets at amortised cost Financial assets at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss. Financial assets at FVOCI Equity investments at FVOCI are measured at fair value. All fair value gains and losses are recorded in OCI, without recycling to profit or loss. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as Investment income when a.s.r.’s right to receive payments is established. Impairment requirements are not applicable to equity investments measured as FVOCI. Financial assets at FVTPL Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment requirements are not applicable to financial assets measured at FVTPL.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 17 Financial liabilities Classification a.s.r. classifies its liabilities into one of the following categories: • financial liabilities at FVTPL (derivatives); or • financial liabilities at amortised cost (all other financial liabilities). Subsequent measurement and gains and losses Financial liabilities at FVTPL Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest expenses and foreign exchange gains and losses, are recognised in profit or loss. Financial liabilities at amortised cost Financial liabilities at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expenses, foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss. Accrued interest In line with Solvency II reporting a.s.r. accounts for financial liabilities at their “dirty” fair value, thus including any related accrued interest. Interest on financial liabilities Interest expenses are calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the liability. When calculating the effective interest rate, a.s.r. estimates future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the liability. Derivatives including embedded derivatives Derivatives within the insurance entities are primarily used by a.s.r. for hedging interest rate and exchange rate risks, for hedging future transactions and the exposure to market risks. These derivatives are classified as held-for-trading. Derivatives are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Derivatives may be embedded in another contractual arrangement (a host contract). For contracts where the host contract is a financial asset in the scope of IFRS 9, the hybrid financial instrument as a whole is assessed for classification and the embedded derivative is not separated from the host contract. • the terms of the embedded derivative would have met the definition of a derivative if they were contained in a separate contract; and • the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative are not closely related to those of the host contract. Impairments in the P&L a.s.r. recognises loss allowances for ECL on debt instruments measured at amortised cost or FVOCI. a.s.r. uses the low credit risk simplification for investment grade debt instruments and recognises a lifetime ECL for other financial assets using the simplified approach. Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to a.s.r. in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that a.s.r. expects to receive). The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which a.s.r. is exposed to credit risk. Write-off The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off (either partially or in full) to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when a.s.r. determines that the borrower does not have assets or resources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with a.s.r.’s procedures for recovery of amounts due. Should amounts be recovered these are then recognised when the payment has been received. Derecognition and contract modification Financial assets a.s.r. derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which a.s.r. neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount at the date of derecognition and the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognised in the income statement, unless the financial asset is an equity instrument and is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. For these instruments any revaluation amount is transferred within equity from unrealised gains and losses to retained earnings. Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements A derivative embedded in a host insurance or reinsurance contract is not accounted for separately from the host contract if the embedded derivate itself meets the definition of an insurance or reinsurance contract. For other contracts, a.s.r. accounts for an embedded derivative separately from the host contract when: • the hybrid 879241 contract is—001 not measured -Part at—2 FVTPL; 28Mar25 13:48 a.s.r. enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised. Examples of such transactions are repurchase agreements and securities lending. The asset recognised for cash paid on reverse repurchase agreements is presented under investments. The liability recognised for cash collateral received on repurchase agreements is presented under the line item due 187 to banks .


LOGO

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 18 In transactions in which a.s.r. neither retains nor transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset and it retains control over the asset, a.s.r. continues to recognise the asset to the extent of its continuing involvement, determined by the extent to which it is exposed to changes in the value of the transferred asset. If the terms of a financial asset are modified, then a.s.r. evaluates whether the cash flows of the modified asset are substantially different. If the cash flows are substantially different, then the contractual rights to cash flows from the original financial asset are deemed to have expired. In this case, the original financial asset is derecognised and a new financial asset is recognised at fair value. If a financial asset measured at amortised cost is modified but not substantially, then the financial asset is not derecognised. If the asset has not been derecognised, then a.s.r. recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset by discounting the modified contractual cash flows at the original effective interest rate and recognises the resulting adjustment to the gross carrying amount as a modification gain or loss in profit or loss. If such a modification is carried out because of financial difficulties of the borrower, then the gain or loss is presented together with impairment losses; in other cases, it is presented as interest revenue. Financial liabilities a.s.r. generally derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. a.s.r. also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different (i.e. the net present value of the of the cash flows under the new terms discounted at the original effective interest rate is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original debt instrument), in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value. On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss. If a financial liability measured at amortised cost is not substantially modified, then it is not derecognised. For such financial liabilities, a.s.r. recalculates the amortised cost of the financial liability by discounting the modified contractual cash flows at the original effective interest rate and recognises any resulting adjustment to the amortised cost as a modification gain or loss in ‘other finance expenses’ in profit or loss. Any costs and fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the liability and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified liability. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Page 188 F1. Insurance contracts Classification Insurance contracts issued by a.s.r. are contracts that transfer significant insurance risks, and in some cases also financial risk, from the policyholder to a.s.r. Contracts measured using the general measurement model (GMM) or premium allocation approach (PAA) are classified on the balance sheet as insurance contract liabilities and contracts measured using the variable fee approach (VFA) are classified as liabilities arising from direct participating insurance contracts. a.s.r. offers non-life insurance contracts and life insurance contracts as shown in the table below. Measurement model applied Segment Product Measurement model applied Non-life P&C PAA Disability GMM Health PAA Life Individual life GMM or VFA Pension GMM or VFA Funeral GMM Insurance contract liabilities Non-life insurance contracts Non-life insurance contracts are contracts that provide cover that is not related to the life or death of insured persons. These insurance contracts are primarily classified into the following categories: Disability, Health, P&C (motor, fire and liability). Life insurance contracts The segment Life includes: annuities, term insurance policies, savings contracts and funeral insurance contracts. In addition to non-participating life insurance contracts, the insurance portfolio also includes: • Individual and group participating contracts; • Individual contracts with discretionary participation features; • Group contracts with segregated pools with returns based on investment guarantees. Life insurance contracts with (discretionary) participation features are included within the Life segment. Under these contracts, policyholders are assigned, in addition to their entitlement to a guaranteed element, an entitlement to potentially significant additional benefits whose amount or timing is contractually at the discretion of a.s.r. These additional benefits are based on the performance of a specified pool of investments held by a.s.r. or on the issuer’s operational result.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 19 Liabilities arising from direct participating insurance contracts. a.s.r. classifies an insurance contract as a direct participating contract for which at inception the following criteria are met: • the contractual terms specify that the policyholder participates in a share of a clearly identified pool of underlying items; • a.s.r. expects to pay the policyholder an amount equal to a substantial share of the fair value returns on the underlying items; and • a.s.r. expects a substantial proportion of any change in the amounts to be paid to the policy holder to vary with the change in the fair value of the underlying items. Life insurance contracts with direct participating features are included within the Life segment and mainly concern unit-linked contracts and group pension contracts, with policyholders bearing the investment risk. An investment unit is a share in an investment fund that a.s.r. acquires on behalf of the policyholders using net premiums paid by the policyholders. The cash flow upon maturity of the contract is equal to the value of the investment units of the fund in question. Contracts that meet the requirements of a direct participating contract are measured using the variable fee approach (VFA). Separating components Currently a.s.r. does not separate any components from its insurance contracts. Non-distinct investment components Non-distinct investment components are identified for products where under all circumstances a payment will be made to the policyholder. These are generally recognised for GMM as the surrender value of the funeral insurance and as the savings account related to the mortgage savings insurance. For VFA policies the non-distinct investment component is the minimum payment that will be made under all circumstances (i.e. the minimum of surrender, lapse and maturity). Level of aggregation Insurance contracts are aggregated into groups for measurement purposes. a.s.r. identifies portfolios of insurance contracts comprising contracts subject to similar risks and managed together. Each portfolio is then divided into cohorts of contracts issued within a maximum of one year and divided into two groups based on the profitability buckets for: • any contracts that are onerous on initial recognition; and • any remaining contracts in the portfolio. The profitability bucket for contracts that have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently is currently not used by a.s.r. Similar risks managed together are generally based on the homogeneous risk groups similar to those used in Solvency II at inception, more or less granularity is applied where applicable. Contracts within a portfolio that would fall into different groups only because law or regulation specifically constraints a.s.r.’s practical ability to set a different price or level of benefits for policyholders with different characteristics are included in the same group. This applies to contracts issued in Europe that are required by EU regulation to be priced on a gender-neutral basis. The resulting groups represent the level at which the recognition and measurement accounting policies are applied. The groups are established on initial recognition and their composition is not subsequently reassessed. Whether a contract is onerous or not is a policy (test) which is set per business. Part of this policy will be pricing and thresholds and forward looking metrics available within a.s.r. The test is performed based on the contracts which are issued in any specific calendar year and are grouped according to the similar risks managed together criteria as described above. The test is generally performed on a set of contracts using reasonable and supportable information, considering that the outcome would be the same had the individual policy assessment been performed. Recognition a.s.r. recognises a group of insurance contracts issued from the earliest of: • the beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts. The coverage period is the period during which a.s.r. provides services (insurance services, investment-return services or investment-related services) in respect of all premiums within the boundary of the insurance contract; • the date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group becomes due. If there is no contractual due date, then it is considered to be the date when the first payment is received from the policyholder; or • the group of onerous contracts, the date when the group becomes onerous. Insurance contracts acquired in a (portfolio) transfer or a business combination are recognised on the date of acquisition. When the contract is recognised, it is added to an existing group of contracts or, if the contract does not qualify for inclusion in an existing group, it forms a new group to which future contracts can be added. Groups of contracts are established on initial recognition and their composition is not revised once all contracts have been added to the group. Contract boundaries The measurement of a group of contracts includes all of the future cash flows within the boundary of each contract in the group. Cash flows are within the boundary of a contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period under which a.s.r. can compel the policyholder to pay premiums or has a substantive obligation to provide services. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Page 189 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 20 A substantive obligation to provide services ends when: • a.s.r. has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the particular policyholder and can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects those reassessed risks; or • a.s.r. has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the portfolio that contains the contract and can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects the risks of that portfolio; and the pricing of the premiums for coverage up to the reassessment date does not consider risks that relate to periods after the reassessment date. For individual contracts with discretionary features the contract boundary is defined so that cash flows are within the contract boundary if they result from a substantive obligation of a.s.r. to deliver cash at a present or future date. The contract boundary is reassessed at each reporting period and more frequently if and when product characteristics and/or conditions fundamentally change and, therefore, may change over time. Measurement a.s.r. uses the following measurement models: • the general measurement model (GMM); • the variable fee approach (VFA) for contracts with a direct participating feature; and • the premium allocation approach (PAA) which is a simplified version of the GMM and is used mainly for short-duration contracts. Measurement – contracts measured under the GMM Initial measurement On initial recognition, a.s.r. measures a group of insurance contracts as the total of: • the fulfilment cash flows, which comprise estimates of future cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money and the associated financial risk and the risk adjustment for non-financial risk (RA); and • the CSM. The measurement of the fulfilment cash flows of a group of insurance contracts does not reflect non-performance risk of a.s.r. It is the net present value of the projected cash flows of benefits and expenses, less the net present value of premiums, adjusted for the risk adjustment. These cash flows are estimated using realistic, “best estimate”, assumptions in relation to mortality, longevity, disability, lapse rate, expense and inflation. The best estimate assumptions include mortality and longevity trend assumptions for life expectancy. Mortality rate tables applied are generally developed based on a blend of company experience and industry wide studies, taking into consideration product characteristics, own risk selection criteria, the insured population, recent mortality trend assumptions for life expectancy in the Netherlands and past experience. Mortality experience is monitored through regular studies, the results of which are fed into the pricing cycle for new products and reflected in the liability calculation when appropriate. The best estimate includes the intrinsic value and the time value of options and guarantees (TVOG: Time 879241 Value of Financial -001- Options Part- and 2 Guarantees) and 28Mar25 is calculated using 13:48 stochastic techniques. Where applicable, the direct or discretionary participating features of the insurance contracts, such as profit sharing, and any guaranteed benefits at maturity are considered in the future cash flows. The cash flows are discounted using an interest curve whose construction is related to the Solvency II curve construction published by EIOPA. The construction differs in that a different CRA is determined and used, there is no VA but there is a Liability Illiquidity Premium (LIP), a different UFR is used (2024: 3.25%, 2023: 3.40%; whereas SII used 2024: 3.30%, 2023: 3.45%) and the convergence to the UFR follows a different methodology. Insurance pre-recognition cash flows consist of pre-acquisition cash flows and pre-paid premium cash flows for insurance contracts not yet recognised. Insurance pre-acquisition cash flows that a.s.r. pays before the related group of contracts is recognised (i.e. for renewals of insurance contracts or insurance contracts recognised in the following period), are presented as an asset under the insurance contract liabilities. When the group of contracts is recognised, these cash flows are included by way of expected acquisition cash flows in the measurement of the group and the previously recognised asset is transferred and included as part of expected acquisition cash flows initially recognised in the insurance liability. The insurance pre-acquisition cash flow asset is reassessed for a possible impairment trigger at each reporting date. The risk adjustment for a group of insurance contracts is the compensation required for bearing uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows that arises from non-financial risk. a.s.r. disaggregates changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk between the insurance service result and insurance finance income or expenses. See section 7.5.13.4. The CSM of a group of insurance contracts represents the unearned profit that a.s.r. will recognise as it provides service under those contracts. On initial recognition of a group of insurance contracts, if the total fulfilment cash flows allocated to the contract, any previously recognised insurance acquisition cash flows, pre-paid premium cash flows and any cash flows arising from the contract at the date of initial recognition is a net inflow, then the group is not onerous. In this case, the CSM is measured as the equal and opposite amount of the net inflow, which results in no income or expenses arising on initial recognition. For groups of contracts acquired, the consideration received for the contracts is included in the fulfilment cash flows as a proxy for the premiums received at the date of acquisition. For business combinations see accounting policy H. If the total of the fulfilment cash flows is a net outflow, then the group is onerous. In this case, the net outflow is recognised as a loss in the income statement, or as an adjustment to goodwill or a gain on a bargain purchase if the contracts are acquired in a business combination. A loss component is created as part of the insurance liabilities to depict any losses recognised in the income statement, which determines the amounts that are subsequently presented in the income statement as reversals of losses on onerous groups.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 21 Subsequent measurement The carrying amount of a group of insurance contract liabilities at each reporting date is the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims. The liability for remaining coverage comprises: • the fulfilment cash flows that relate to services that will be provided under the contracts in future periods including the risk adjustment; and • any remaining CSM at that date. The liability for incurred claims comprises the fulfilment cash flows for incurred claims and attributable expenses that have not yet been paid, including claims that have been incurred but not yet reported, and the handling of the payments to policyholders. For the contracts in the Non-life segment this concerns all future payments related to the incurred claim (the LIC option), whereas for contracts in the Life segment this concerns the amounts payable for the period (LRC option). The fulfilment cash flows of groups of insurance contracts are measured at the reporting date using current estimates of future cash flows, current discount rates and current estimates of the risk adjustment for non-financial risk. Changes in fulfilment cash flows are recognised as follows: • Changes relating to future services are adjusted against the CSM (or recognised in the insurance service result in profit or loss if the group is onerous); • Changes relating to current or past services are recognised in the insurance service result in the income statement; • Effects of the time value of money, financial risk and changes therein on estimated future cash flows and risk adjustment for non-financial risk are recognised as insurance finance income or expenses. The CSM of each group of contracts is subsequently calculated at each reporting date. The carrying amount of the CSM at the end of each reporting period is the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period, adjusted for: • The CSM of any new contracts that are added to the group in the period; • Interest accreted on the carrying amount of the CSM during the period, measured at the discount rates on nominal cash flows that do not vary based on the returns on any underlying items determined on initial recognition; • Changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, except to the extent that:—Any increases in the fulfilment cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the CSM, in which case the excess is recognised as a loss in the income statement and creates a loss component; or—Any decreases in the fulfilment cash flows are allocated to the loss component, reversing losses previously recognised in profit or loss; and • The amount recognised as insurance contract revenue due to the services provided in the period. • Experience adjustments arising from premiums received in the period that relate to future services and related cash flows, measured at the discount rates determined on initial recognition and non-distinct investment components; • Changes in estimates of the present value of future cash flows in the liability for remaining coverage, measured at the discount rates determined on initial recognition, except for those that relate to the effects of the time value of money, financial risk and changes therein; and • Changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk that relate to future services. CSM is recognised as insurance contract revenue following the services provided. The amount is determined by identifying coverage units in the group. The number of coverage units in the group is the quantity of insurance contract services provided by the contracts, determined by considering for each contract the quantity of benefits provided and its expected coverage period. Changes in discretionary cash flows are regarded as relating to future services and accordingly adjust the CSM. a.s.r. allocates the CSM to each period based on the passage of time as the service (insurance services and investment-return services) is deemed to be delivered equally over the coverage period. To determine whether changes in cash flows are deemed to be changes in discretionary cash flows, a.s.r. exercises judgement in specifying at inception what is regarded as their commitment under the contract. How a.s.r. specifies its commitment under the contract will determine how much of the changes in expected future cash flows will be reflected immediately in profit or loss or will adjust CSM. Measurement – contracts measured under the VFA The VFA measurement model is used for direct participating contracts. This measurement model is identical to the GMM at initial recognition, however, subsequent measurement differs from the GMM. Direct participating insurance contracts are contracts under which a.s.r.’s obligation to the policyholder is the net of: • The obligation to pay the policyholder an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items; and • A variable fee in exchange for future services provided by the contracts, being a.s.r.’s share of the fair value of the underlying items less fulfilment cash flows that do not vary based on the returns on underlying items. a.s.r. provides investment-related services under these contracts by promising an investment return based on underlying items, in addition to insurance coverage. When measuring a group of direct participating contracts, a.s.r. adjusts the fulfilment cash flows for the whole of the changes in the obligation to pay policyholders an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items. These changes do not relate to future services and are recognised in the income statement. a.s.r. then adjusts any CSM for changes in a.s.r.’s share of the fair value of the underlying items, which relates to future services, as explained below. Changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services comprise: 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Page 191 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 22 Subsequent measurement The carrying amount of the CSM at the end of each reporting period is the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period, adjusted for: • The CSM of any new contracts that are added to the group in the period; • a.s.r.’s share of the change in the fair value of the underlying items and changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, except to the extent that:—a.s.r. has chosen to exclude from the CSM changes in the effect of financial risk on its share of the underlying items;—a.s.r.’s share of a decrease in the fair value of the underlying items, or an increase in the fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, exceeds the carrying amount of the CSM, giving rise to a loss in the income statement (included in insurance service expenses) and creating a loss component; or—a.s.r.’s share of an increase in the fair value of the underlying items, or a decrease in the fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, is allocated to the loss component, reversing losses previously recognised in the income statement (included in insurance service expenses); and • The amount recognised as insurance contract revenue because of the services provided in the period. Changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services include the changes relating to future services specified above for contracts with direct participation features (measured at current discount rates) , the effect of the time value of money and financial risks and the risk mitigation option where applicable. CSM is recognised as insurance contract revenue following the services provided. The amount is determined by identifying coverage units in the group. The number of coverage units in the group is the quantity of insurance contract services provided by the contracts, determined by considering for each contract the quantity of benefits provided and its expected coverage period. a.s.r. allocates the CSM to each period based on the passage of time as the investment-related services provided in relation to the investment component and the insurance services provided in relation to the insurance component are deemed to be delivered equally over the coverage period. Risk mitigation a.s.r. has chosen to apply the risk mitigation option to certain VFA contracts, thereby not recognising a change in the CSM to reflect some or all of the changes in the effect of the time value of money and financial risk (that would normally adjust the CSM) on: • The amount of a.s.r.’s share of the underlying items if a.s.r. mitigates the effect of financial risk on that amount using derivatives or reinsurance contracts held; and • The fulfilment cash flows if a.s.r. mitigates the effect of financial risk on those fulfilment cash flows using derivatives, non-derivative financial instruments measured at FVTPL, or reinsurance contracts held. If a.s.r. mitigates the effect of financial risk using derivatives or non-derivative financial instruments measured at FVTPL, it shall include insurance finance income or expenses for the period arising from the application of the risk mitigation in profit or loss. If a.s.r. mitigates the effect of financial risk using reinsurance contracts held, it shall apply the same accounting policy for the presentation of insurance finance income or expenses arising from the application of the risk mitigation as a.s.r. applies to other reinsurance contracts held. a.s.r. does not currently use reinsurance as a hedge instrument dedicated to financial risks. Measurement – contracts measured under the PAA The PAA simplifies the measurement of groups of contracts when: • the coverage period of each contract in the group of contracts is one year or less; or • a.s.r. expects that the resulting measurement would not differ materially from the result of applying the GMM. Initial measurement On initial recognition of each group of contracts, the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage is measured at the premiums received on initial recognition. Insurance acquisition cash flows are recognised as expenses when they are incurred making use of the option under IFRS 17. The risk adjustment is an implicit part of the valuation of the related liability. Subsequent measurement. Subsequently, the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage is increased by any premiums received and decreased by the amount recognised as insurance contract revenue for coverage provided. This is recognised over the coverage period based on the passage of time. If at any time during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of contracts is onerous, then a.s.r. recognises a loss in the income statement and increases the liability for remaining coverage to the extent that the current estimates of the fulfilment cash flows that relate to remaining coverage (including the risk adjustment for non-financial risk) exceed the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage. a.s.r. recognises the liability for incurred claims of a group of insurance contracts at the amount of the fulfilment cash flows relating to incurred claims, including a risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The fulfilment cash flows are discounted at current rates. Derecognition and contract modification a.s.r. derecognises a contract when it is extinguished – i.e. when the specified obligations in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled. a.s.r. also derecognises a contract if its terms are modified in a way that would have changed the accounting for the contract significantly had the new terms always existed, in which case a new contract based on the modified terms is recognised. If a contract modification does not result in derecognition, then a.s.r. treats the changes in cash flows caused by the modifications as changes in estimates of fulfilment cash flows. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Page 192 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 23 On the derecognition of a contract from within a group of contracts: • The fulfilment cash flows allocated to the group are adjusted to eliminate the present value of the future cash flows and risk adjustment for non-financial risk relating to the rights and obligations that have been derecognised from the group; and • The CSM of the group is adjusted for the change in fulfilment cash flows. If a contract is derecognised because its terms are substantially modified, then the CSM is also adjusted for the premium that would have been charged had a.s.r. entered into a contract with the new contract’s terms at the date of modification, less any additional premium charged for the modification. The new contract recognised is measured assuming that, at the date of modification, the issuer received the premium that it would have charged less any additional premium charged for the modification. F2. Reinsurance contracts Classification Contracts held by a.s.r. under which it transfers significant insurance risk related to insurance contracts are classified as reinsurance contracts. a.s.r. does not issue reinsurance contracts. Separating components and Level of aggregation The accounting principles for the separation of components do not differ from those for insurance contracts. For the determination of the level of aggregation for reinsurance contracts the accounting principles are the same with the exception that a reinsurance contract cannot be classified as onerous. Recognition a.s.r. recognises a group of reinsurance contracts held that do not provide proportionate coverage at the earlier of (i) the beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held; and (ii) the date a.s.r. recognises an onerous group of underlying contracts if a.s.r. entered into the related reinsurance contract held at or before that date. Contract boundaries The measurement of a group of reinsurance contracts held includes all of the future cash flows within the boundary of each contract in the group. Cash flows are within the boundary of a contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period under which a.s.r. has a right to receive services from the reinsurer and is compelled to pay premiums. Measurement – contracts under the PAA a.s.r. uses the PAA as the default measurement approach for reinsurance contracts with a coverage period of one year or less, but the business line has the option to choose the GMM. To measure a group of reinsurance contracts a.s.r. applies the same accounting policies for the related insurance contracts, adapted where necessary to reflect the features of reinsurance contracts held that differ from those of the insurance contracts. Measurement – contracts under the GMM a.s.r. applies the same accounting policies for insurance contracts to measure a group of reinsurance contracts, with the following modifications. The carrying amount of a group of reinsurance contracts at each reporting date is the sum of the remaining coverage component and the incurred claims component. The remaining coverage component comprises: • The fulfilment cash flows that relate to services that will be received under the contracts in future periods including the risk adjustment; and • Any remaining CSM at that date. a.s.r. measures the estimates of the present value of future cash flows using assumptions that are consistent with those used to measure the estimates of the present value of future cash flows for the underlying insurance contracts. Loss-recovery component a.s.r. determines a loss-recovery component of the asset for remaining coverage of a group of reinsurance contracts held when a.s.r. recognises a recovery of a loss on initial recognition of an onerous group of underlying contracts as well as for subsequent measurement of the recovery of losses. This loss-recovery component is accounted for in a manner consistent with the loss component of the group of underlying insurance contracts issued. As such, as cedant, a.s.r. determines the resulting amount of the loss-recovery at initial recognition to be recognised in profit or loss by multiplying: • The loss recognised on the group of underlying insurance contracts; and • The percentage of claims on underlying contracts a.s.r. expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts held. After a.s.r. has established a loss-recovery component, it shall adjust it to reflect changes in the loss component of the underlying contracts. Therefore, the balance of loss-recovery component needs to be tracked along the fulfilment of the reinsurance group and run off to zero at the end of the reinsurance coverage period or earlier when the loss component on the underlying group(s) has been fully reversed. The carrying amount of the loss recovery component shall not exceed the portion of the carrying amount of the loss component of the underlying insurance contracts that a.s.r. expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts held. The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is the amount of the risk transferred by a.s.r. to the reinsurer. On initial recognition, the CSM of a group of reinsurance contracts represents a net cost or net gain on purchasing reinsurance. It is measured as the equal and opposite amount of the total of the fulfilment cash flows, any derecognised assets for cash flows occurring before the recognition of the group and any cash flows arising at that date, and taking into account any recognised loss recovery component, if applicable. However, if any net cost on purchasing reinsurance coverage relates to insured events that occurred before the purchase of the group, then a.s.r. recognises the cost immediately in the income statement as an expense 193 .

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 24 The carrying amount of the CSM at the end of each reporting period is the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period, adjusted for: • The CSM of any new contracts that are added to the group in the period; • Interest accreted on the carrying amount of the CSM during the period, measured at the discount rates on nominal cash flows that do not vary based on the returns on any underlying items determined on initial recognition; • Changes in fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services, unless the change results from a change in fulfilment cash flows allocated to a group of onerous underlying insurance contracts, in which case the change is recognised in the income statement; • The amount recognised in the income statement because of the services received in the period. CSM is recognised in profit or loss following the services provided. Non-performance risk Changes in the fulfilment cash flows related to the risk of non-performance do not adjust the CSM, therefore a.s.r. recognises them in profit or loss. This requires that the fulfilment cash flows must be adjusted to include the effect of any non-performance risk, or credit risk, by the reinsurer. Reinsurance contracts cannot be onerous. G. Employee benefits Pension obligations a.s.r. has, with effect of 2021, defined contribution (DC) plans for all its employees, including employees that are employed by entities that operate in the Distribution and Service segment. For these DC plans, a.s.r. pays contributions to privately administered pension insurance plans with ASR Levensverzekering N.V. (a.s.r. life) on a contractual basis. a.s.r. life recognises these contracts as insurance contracts. They are accounted for in accordance with liabilities arising from insurance contracts (accounting policy F1). With regards to the DC plans, Aegon employees had a DC plan with Aegon Cappital as of 2020, and as of 1 October 2023 this DC plan became non-contributory, as they entered the a.s.r. DC plan. a.s.r. has no further payment obligations to the employees once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as operating expenses in the income statement during the period the services are rendered. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. In addition, a number of defined benefit (DB) plans for own employees exist, which ended at the end of 2019 (Aegon NL DB) and 2020 (a.s.r. DB), and were left non-contributory. The defined benefit obligation continues to exist. The plans are schemes under which employees are awarded pension benefits upon retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors, such as years of service and compensation. The defined benefit obligation is calculated at each reporting date by independent actuaries. a.s.r. life and Aegon life administer most of the post-employment benefit plans and hold the investments that are intended to cover the employee benefit obligation. These investments do not qualify as plan assets in the consolidated financial statements under IFRS. Pension obligations are calculated using the projected unit credit method. Inherent to this method is the application of actuarial assumptions for discount rates, future salary increases and bonuses, mortality rates and consumer price indices. The assumptions are updated and checked at each reporting date, based on available market data. The assumptions and reports were reviewed by Risk Management. Actuarial assumptions may differ from actual results due to changes in market conditions, economic trends, mortality trends and other assumptions. Any change in these assumptions can have a significant impact on the defined benefit obligation and future pension costs. Changes in the expected actuarial assumptions and differences with the actual actuarial outcomes are recognised in the actuarial gains and losses included in other comprehensive income (component of total equity). When employee benefit plans are modified and when no further obligations exist, a gain or loss, resulting from the changes are recognised directly in the income statement. Consistent with the calculation of a gain or loss on a plan amendment, a.s.r. will use updated actuarial assumptions to determine the current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the annual reporting period upon the time of such amendment. The effect of the asset ceiling, if applicable, is disregarded when calculating the gain or loss on any settlement of the plan. The financing cost related to employee benefits is recognised in interest expense. The current service costs are included in operating expenses. Other long-term employee benefits Plans that offer benefits for long-service (leave), but do not qualify as a post-employment benefit plan, such as jubilee benefits, are measured at present value using the projected unit credit method and changes are recognised directly in the income statement. Other post-retirements obligations a.s.r. offers post-employment benefit plans, such as arrangement for mortgage loans at a discount (fixed amount, reference date December 2017). The entitlement to these benefits is usually conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age and the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment using an accounting methodology that is similar to that for DB plans. Vacation entitlements A liability is formed for the vacation days which have not been taken at year-end. The liability 879241 in respect of -001 DB plans -Part is the- present 2 value of the28Mar25 defined benefit 13:48 obligation at the balance Page 194 sheet date, less the fair value of the plan assets where the pension plans are insured by third parties.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 25 H. Acquisitions (Business combinations) Business acquisitions are accounted for according to the acquisition method, with the cost of the acquisitions being allocated to the fair value of the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. The goodwill is determined as the difference between the cost of the acquisition and a.s.r.’s interest in the fair value of the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the acquisition date. Additionally for insurance contracts acquired that are onerous at the transaction date, the difference between the fair value and the fulfilment cash flows is also part of the goodwill. Any change, in the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities at the acquisition date, determined within one year after acquisition, is recognised as an adjustment charged to goodwill in case of a preliminary valuation. Adjustments that occur after a period of one year are recognised in the income statement. Adjustments to the purchase price that are contingent on future events, and to the extent that these are not already included in the purchase price, are included in the purchase price of the acquisition at the time the adjustment is likely and can be measured reliably. I. Discontinued operations Classification as held for sale occurs when the carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. When a group of assets classified as held for sale represents a major line of business or geographical area the disposal group classifies as discontinued operations. The comparative consolidated income statement and consolidated statement of comprehensive income are restated to show the discontinued operations separately from the continuing operations. Where applicable in the notes to the financial statements the reclassification to assets held for sale and liabilities relating to assets held for sale are recognised in the changes in the composition of the Group. Should the impairment exceed the carrying value of the non-current assets within the scope of IFRS 5 measurement, any remaining impairment amount will be presented as a separate provision. 7.3.5 Other accounting policies J. Basis for consolidation—subsidiaries The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of a.s.r. and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are those entities (which may include deemed separate entities, the so-called silos and investments on behalf of policyholders) over which a.s.r. has control. Control exists when a.s.r. is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. This is the case if more than half of the voting rights may be exercised or if a.s.r. has control in any other manner. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is acquired by a.s.r. and are deconsolidated when control ceases to exist. A subsidiary’s assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are measured at fair value on the acquisition date and are subsequently accounted for in accordance with a.s.r.’s accounting policies, which are consistent with IFRS. Non-controlling interests are initially stated at their proportionate share in the fair value of the net assets on the acquisition date and are subsequently adjusted for the non-controlling interest in changes in the subsidiary’s equity. a.s.r. concluded that the fund assets and liabilities of the IORP entities are a silo outside of the control of a.s.r., therefore these assets and liabilities are not consolidated by a.s.r. Only the remaining assets and liabilities within the IORP entities (outside of the silo) are consolidated into a.s.r.’s financial statements. Intragroup transactions Intragroup balances and transactions between consolidated group companies are eliminated. Gains and losses on transactions between a.s.r. and associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of a.s.r.’s interest in these entities. Structured entities Structured entities that are consolidated include certain mortgage backed securitisation deals, where a.s.r. was involved in the design of the structured entities and also has the ability to use its power to affect the amount of the investee’s returns. Other factors that contribute to the conclusion that consolidation of these entities is required includes consideration of whether a.s.r. fully services the investees and can therefore influence the defaults of the mortgage portfolios and the fact that in these cases the majority of risks are maintained by a.s.r. Structured entities that are not consolidated include general account investments in non-affiliated structured entities that are used for investment purposes.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 26 K. Product classification Insurance contracts are defined as contracts under which a.s.r. accepts significant insurance risk from policyholders by agreeing to compensate policyholders if a specified uncertain future event adversely affects the policyholder. These contracts are considered insurance contracts throughout the remaining term to maturity, irrespective of when the insured event occurs. In addition, these contracts can also transfer financial risk. a.s.r. offers non-life insurance contracts and life insurance contracts. Non-life insurance contracts Non-life insurance contracts are contracts that provide cover that is not related to the life or death of insured persons. These insurance contracts are classified into the following categories: Disability, Health, P&C (motor, fire and liability) and Other. Life insurance contracts Life insurance contracts (in cash) include savings-linked mortgages, annuities, term insurance policies, savings contracts and funeral insurance contracts. In addition to non-participating life insurance contracts, the insurance portfolio also includes: • Individual and group participating contracts; • Individual contracts with discretionary participation features; • Group contracts with segregated pools with returns based on investment guarantees. Direct participating insurance contracts Claims from these life insurance contracts are directly linked to the underlying investments. The investment risk and return are borne fully for policyholders. Life insurance contracts for the account and risk of policyholders generally consist of contracts where premiums, after deduction of costs and risk premium, are invested in unit-linked funds. For some individual contracts, a.s.r. guarantees returns on unit-linked investment funds. In addition, group contracts with segregated pools are classified as direct participating insurance contracts. L. Segment information At organisational level, a.s.r.’s operations have been divided into five operating segments (2023: six, including Banking). The main segments are the Non-life and Life segment that include all insurance activities. The non-insurance activities are presented as three separate segments being the Asset Management, Distribution and Services and Holding and Other segment. There is a clear difference between the risk and return profiles of these five segments. Intersegment transactions or transfers are conducted at arm’s length conditions. M. Transaction date and settlement date All purchases and sales of financial instruments, which have to be settled in accordance with standard market conventions, are recognised at the transaction date, which is the date on which a.s.r. becomes party to the contractual stipulations of the instrument. Any purchases and sales other than those requiring delivery within 879241 the time- frame 001 established -Part-2 by regulations or market 28Mar25 conventions 13:48 are accounted for as forward transactions until the time of settlement. For details on these transactions, see accounting policy E. N. Securities lending a.s.r. participates in securities lending transactions, whereby collateral is received in the form of securities or cash. Cash received as collateral is recognised in the balance sheet and a corresponding liability is recognised as liabilities arising from securities lending in ‘Due to banks’. Securities lent remain on the balance sheet. Securities received as collateral are not recognised in the balance sheet. O. Statement of cash flows The statement of cash flows classifies cash flows by operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash flows denominated in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rates applicable on the transaction date. Cash flows from operating activities are reported using the indirect method. Cash flows from operating activities include result before tax, adjustments for gains and losses that did not result in income and payments in the same financial year, adjustments for movements in provisions, and accrued and deferred items. The statement of cash flows recognises interest received and paid, and dividends received within cash flows from operating activities. Cash flows from purchasing and selling investments and investment property are included in cash flows from operating activities on a net basis. Dividends paid are recognised within cash flows from financing activities. P. Property, plant and equipment Property held for own use and plant Property held for own use and plants comprise of land and office buildings and plants like wind farms and are measured at fair value (revaluation model) based on annual valuations, conducted by external, independent valuators with adequate professional expertise and experience in the specific location and categories of properties or plant. They are subsequently measured at fair value, including any unrealised fair value changes in equity, taking into account any deferred tax liabilities. For the method of determining the fair value reference is made to accounting policy B for investment property and plant. Increase in the fair value exceeding the cost price is added to the revaluation reserve in shareholders’ equity, less deferred taxes. Decreases in the fair value that offset previous increases of the same asset, are charged against the revaluation reserve. The revaluation reserve cannot be negative. All other decreases in fair value are accounted for in the income statement. Increases that reverse a revaluation decrease on the same asset previously recognised in net result are recognised in the income statement. Buildings and wind farms are depreciated using the straight-line method based on expected useful life, taking into account their fair value amount, the residual value from the time when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The useful life of buildings is assessed annually for every individual component (component approach).

Shell 50 Outer layer 15-30 Wind turbines 25 Solar panels 25 Systems 15-20 Fittings and fixtures 15 Repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. Expenses incurred after the acquisition of an asset are capitalised if it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to a.s.r. and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Upon the sale of a property or plant, the part of the revaluation reserve related to the sold property or plant, within equity, is transferred to ‘other reserves’ and is not reclassified to the income statement. Therefore annually a transfer is also made from the revaluation reserve related to ‘other reserves’ in line with the depreciation recognised in the income statement for the revalued portion. Equipment Equipment is recognised at cost, less accumulated depreciation and / or any accumulated impairment losses. Cost corresponds with the cash paid or the fair value of the consideration given to acquire the asset. Equipment is depreciated over its useful life, which is determined individually (usually between three and five years). Repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. Expenses incurred after the acquisition of an asset are capitalised if it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to a.s.r. and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Accounting for borrowing costs attributable to the construction of property, plant and equipment is the same as accounting for borrowing costs attributable to investment property. For details, see accounting policy D. Right-of-use assets Right-of-use assets are recognised for lease contracts for which a.s.r. is the lessee. For more information reference is made to accounting policy V. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements Q. Associates and joint ventures Associates Associates are entities over which a.s.r. has significant influence on operating and financial contracts, without having control. Generally, associates are accounted for using the equity method from the date at which a.s.r. acquires significant influence until the date at which such influence ceases. This means that associates are initially recognised at cost, including any goodwill paid. This value is subsequently adjusted to take account of a.s.r.’s share of the associate’s comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is adjusted in accordance with the accounting principles used by a.s.r. Losses are accounted for until the carrying amount of the investment has reached zero. Further provisions are recognised only to the extent that a.s.r. has incurred legal or constructive obligations concerning these associates. If objective evidence of impairment exists, associates are tested for impairment and, if necessary, written down. When the application of the equity method produces information that is not relevant to the investors, a.s.r. may use the exemption of IAS 28 to measure the investments in those associates at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9. a.s.r. applies fair value measurement for investments in real estate equity funds and mortgage equity funds, over which a.s.r. has significant influence. Joint ventures Joint ventures are contractual arrangements whereby a.s.r. and one or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. Joint control exists only when the strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. These interests are accounted for using the equity method as applied to associates. The interests are recognised in the financial statements from the date on which a.s.r. first obtains joint control until the date that this joint control ceases. If objective evidence of impairment exists, joint ventures are tested for impairment and, if necessary an impairment is recognised in the income statement. Joint operations a.s.r. has a limited number of non-material joint operations. These are recognised in relation to a.s.r.’s interest in the joint operation’s individual balance sheet and income statement items. R. Other assets Other assets include accrued investment income, property developments, collateral (including margin accounts), reverse repurchase agreements, tax assets and accrued assets. Property developments consist of property under development commissioned by third parties. Development property is measured at cost including any incremental costs (if a.s.r. expects to recover those 197 costs), directly related costs to the contract (i.e. labour, materials, allocation of directly related

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 28 costs, payments to subcontractors) and construction period interest, less any invoiced instalments and impairments. Revenue on property development is primarily accounted for at the moment the property is sold. This is a performance obligation satisfied at a point in time. The point in time is the moment a customer obtains control of the promised asset. Property developments which are sold can have guarantees (such as rent guarantees or construction guarantees), which may give rise to a separate performance obligation. S. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, cash collateral and other short-term highly liquid investments that are not subject to a significant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value through profit or loss. T. Equity Share capital and share premium reserve The share capital disclosed in the balance sheet consists of issued and fully paid-up ordinary shares. The share premium reserve comprises additional paid-in capital in excess of the par value of the shares. Reserve for unrealised gains and losses This reserve consists of: • Unrealised gains and losses from assets FVOCI net of tax (see accounting policy E); • The share of unrealised gains and losses of associates and joint ventures using the equity method held by a.s.r. (see accounting policy Q); • Unrealised change in value of property for own use (see accounting policy P); Actuarial gains and losses Actuarial gains and losses result from the post-employment benefit pension plans (see accounting policy G). Retained earnings Retained earnings also include other reserves and the unappropriated result. Other equity instruments This item represents the par value of the other equity instruments. Costs directly attributable to the equity issue and the tax impact thereof are recognised in retained earnings. Treasury shares are either required as part of the share buy-back program, or acquired and resold as part of the employee share purchase plan, see section 7.7.6. Non-controlling interest The non-controlling interest relates to the equity in a consolidated subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a.s.r. (see accounting policy J). Dividends on ordinary share capital Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised as a liability and recognised in equity when they are approved by a.s.r.’s shareholders. Interim dividends are recognised in equity when they are paid. Dividends for the year that are approved after the reporting date are treated as an event after the reporting date. Discretionary interest on other equity instruments Discretionary interest on other equity instruments is recognised in equity upon payment. The related income tax on these equity instruments is recognised in the income statement. U. Financing Financing includes savings deposits, borrowings, due to customers, due to banks, subordinated liabilities and other financial liabilities. On initial recognition, debt instruments and other loans are stated at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequent valuation is at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Lease liabilities are included under borrowings and measured in accordance with accounting policy V. V. Leasing A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. For contracts that contain a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components a.s.r. applies the practical expedient not to separate non-lease components from lease components. At the commencement date of the lease, a.s.r. recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the lease liability at initial measurement. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. For vehicles, the lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. For other leases a.s.r.’s incremental borrowing rate is used. Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements Treasury shares Treasury shares are a.s.r.’s own ordinary shares that have been issued and subsequently reacquired by a.s.r. Treasury shares are deducted from equity, regardless of the objective of the transaction. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the instruments. If sold, the difference between the carrying amount and the proceeds is reflected in retained earnings. The consideration 879241 paid- or 001 received -Part is recognised -2 directly in shareholders’ 28Mar25 equity 13:48 . All treasury shares are eliminated in the calculation of earnings per share and dividend per ordinary share. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is valued at cost less any cumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is increased with interest accrued and reduced for lease payments made. When applicable the lease liability is remeasured for changes in future payments resulting from a change in index or lease term. The 198 right -of-use assets are presented under property, plant and equipment. The lease liabilities are presented under borrowings.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 29 W1. Insurance contract revenue Insurance contract revenue excludes any investment components and is measured as follows. Insurance contract revenue – contracts measured under the GMM or VFA a.s.r. recognises insurance contract revenue as it satisfies its performance obligations – i.e. as it provides coverage or other services required due to groups of insurance contracts. For contracts measured under the GMM or VFA, the insurance contract revenue relating to services provided for each period represents the total of the changes in the liability for remaining coverage that relate to services for which a.s.r. expects to receive consideration. Insurance contract revenue consists of the sum of the changes in the liability for remaining coverage due to: • The insurance service expenses incurred in the period measured at the amounts expected at the beginning of the period, excluding: – Amounts allocated to the loss component; – Repayments of investment components; – Amounts that relate to transaction-based taxes collected on behalf of third parties; – Insurance acquisition expenses; and – Amounts relating to risk adjustment for non-financial risk. • The change in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk, excluding: – Changes that relate to future service that adjust the CSM; and – Amounts allocated to the loss component. • The amount of CSM for the services provided in the period; • In addition, a.s.r. allocates a portion of premiums that relate to recovering insurance acquisition cash flows to each period in a systematic way based on the passage of time. a.s.r. recognises the allocated amount as insurance contracts revenue and an equal amount as insurance service expenses. The amount of the CSM of a group of insurance contracts that is recognised as insurance contract revenue in each reporting period is generally determined by considering the quantity of benefits provided from the services per insurance contract and allocating the CSM per insurance contract remaining at the end of the reporting period (before any allocation) equally to the services provided in the reporting period and expected to be provided in future periods. Per group of contracts, in accordance with the level of aggregation criteria, the CSM is subsequently released, considering each individual contract, to the current coverage period and to future coverage periods in which the insurance contract service is expected to be provided (considering expected contract terms and survivor, lapse and death assumptions). Allocation of reinsurance premiums paid a.s.r. allocates reinsurers premiums paid as it receives coverage or other services under groups of reinsurance contracts. For contracts measured under the GMM the allocation of reinsurance premiums paid relating to services received for each reporting period represents the total of the changes in the remaining coverage component that relate to services for which a.s.r. expects to pay consideration. For contracts measured under the PAA, the allocation of reinsurance premiums paid for each period is the amount of expected premium payments for receiving coverage in the period. W2. Insurance service expenses Insurance service expenses arising from insurance contracts are recognised in the income statement generally as they are incurred. They comprise the following items: • Claims and benefits—Incurred claims and benefits;—Losses and reversal of losses on onerous contracts;—Adjustment of the liabilities for incurred claims and benefits that do not arise from the effects of the time value of money, financial risk and changes therein; • Insurance service operating expenses—Attributable insurance service operating expenses;—Acquisition costs when incurred for insurance contracts measured under the PAA; and—Amortisation of insurance acquisition cash flows for contracts not measured under the PAA. Loss components a.s.r. establishes a loss component of the liability for remaining coverage for onerous groups of insurance contracts. The loss component determines the amounts of fulfilment cash flows that are subsequently presented in the income statement as reversals of losses on onerous contracts and are excluded from insurance contract revenue when they occur. When the fulfilment cash flows occur, they are allocated between the loss component and the liability for remaining coverage excluding the loss component on a systematic basis. The systematic basis is determined by the proportion of the loss component relative to the total estimate of the present value of the future cash outflows plus the risk adjustment for non-financial risk at the beginning of each period (or on initial recognition if a group of contracts is initially recognised in the period). Decreases in fulfilment cash flows relating to future services or increases in a.s.r.’s share of the fair value of any underlying items are allocated solely to the loss component. If the loss component is reduced to zero, then any excess over the amount allocated to the loss component creates a new CSM for the group of contracts. Insurance contract revenue – contracts measured under the PAA For contracts measured under the PAA, the insurance contract revenue for each period is the amount of expected premium receipts for providing coverage in the period. a.s.r. allocates the expected premium receipts to 879241 each period- on 001 the basis -Part of the -2 passage of time. 28Mar25 13:48 W3. Investment income Investment income comprises the direct investment income such as interest income on financial assets, dividends received, rental income from investment property and other direct investment income.

7.3 Accounting policies • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 30 assets and liabilities at amortised cost and debt instruments at FVOCI, net gains on derecognition of associates at equity method and fair value gains on investment property. Interest income Interest income for all interest-bearing instruments includes coupons earned on fixed income instruments and is recognised on an accrual basis. Transaction costs attributable to the acquisition of debt securities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognised in the income statement. When unpaid interest has accrued before the acquisition of an interest-bearing investment, the subsequent receipt of interest is allocated between pre-acquisition and post-acquisition periods; only the post-acquisition portion is recognised as revenue. The pre-acquisition interest is part of the consideration paid. Interest rate swaps When the two legs of an interest rate swap are settled gross, interest paid and interest received on these swap are not offset. Gross settlement means that both legs of the swap are settled separately: one party receives interest and the other party pays interest. The net amount depends on the market interest rate. Interest received is accounted for as direct investment income, interest paid is accounted for as other finance expense. Impairments When a receivable is impaired, a lifetime expected credit loss (ECL) is recognised and interest income is calculated on the net carrying amount (that is the gross carrying amount less credit allowance). Dividends Dividend income is recognised in the income statement when a right to receive payment is established. Rental income Rental income from investment property is allocated to the period to which they relate. W4. Insurance finance income and expenses Insurance finance income and expenses comprise changes in the carrying amounts of groups of insurance and reinsurance contracts, measured through GMM and PAA, arising from the effects of the time value of money, financial risk and changes therein. For direct participating insurance contracts (VFA) the change in the fair value of the underlying items is included in the insurance finance income and expenses. X. Solvency II In accordance with the Solvency II regulations (2009/138/EG art. 75—86), Solvency II figures are based on fair value. Fair value measurement is based on the same fair value hierarchy described in the IFRS accounting policies (see accounting policy B). Most important adjustments in the balance sheet, compared to IFRS, are the valuation of the (savings-linked) mortgage loans-portfolio and the liabilities arising from insurance contracts (including the risk margin). Basis of Solvency II Eligible own funds (EOF) is the excess of assets over liabilities, adjusted with some specific EOF-items (subordinated liabilities which classify as EOF under Solvency II and foreseeable dividend). The Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) of Aegon Levensverzekering N.V. (Aegon life) and of Aegon Spaarkas N.V. (Aegon Spaarkas) is based on the partial internal model, while the SCR of the other a.s.r. entities are based on the standard formula, including the calculation of the Loss Absorbing Capacity of Deferred Tax (LAC DT). The LAC DT methodology is reviewed and properly documented. Usage of the models is agreed upon with DNB.

As a result the services of a.s.r. asset management related to insurance contracts measured under the variable fee approach are reflected in the insurance service result of the segment Life, as well as the segment Asset management, and subsequently reversed in ‘other income and other expenses’ within the segment Life. a.s.r. considers this to be a true and fair view. It reflects the measure reported to the Executive Board, as chief operating decision maker, for the purpose of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its performance. The results from discontinued operations in relation to Knab, including the loss as a result of the sale, is recognised in segment Holding and Other. See section 7.4.6 for more details.

This was partly offset by, among others, the amortisation of pre-recognition interest rate hedged developments prior to the initial CSM recognition (€ -18 million) and the non-economic assumption update for inflation in the liability of incurred claims of Disability (€ -8 million). Adjustments related to the investment and finance result (€ 173 million) were mainly related to revaluations due to market developments to arrive at normalised investment returns in the operating result. Adjustments related to the other result (€ -158 million) consist of costs for integration of the Aegon NL business lines, charged to the Holding, project costs for the regulatory pension reform and CSRD, project costs for the implementation of a partial internal model and amortisations of intangible assets defined in earlier acquisitions.

During 2024, management of ASR MF and the Separate Account Mortgage Fund (SAM Fund) was transferred to Aegon Asset Management N.V., which is an affiliate of Aegon Ltd. The transfer is part of the business combination agreement in 2023. Given this transfer, the funds no longer qualify as subsidiary (SAM Fund) or associate (ASR MF) and are classified as investments in (external) mortgage equity funds. This transfer has no impact on the value of these funds. Following the transfer, the funds are renamed to AeAM Dutch Mortgage Fund 3 (ASR MF) and AeAM Dutch Mortgage Fund 4 (SAM Fund). Some participating interests in which a.s.r. has an interest of less than 20% qualify as associates, because a.s.r. has significant influence as a result of contractual agreements. a.s.r. also has interests of 50% or more in associates at fair value through profit or loss. a.s.r. has no control over these entities as the ability to direct the relevant activities is limited by contractual agreements and therefore does not consolidate these entities. The information disclosed in the following tables is based on the most recent financial information available from the associates and joint ventures. This is primarily based on the investee’s financial statements and their accounting policies. If these policies differ from a.s.r.’s accounting policies, carrying amounts in a.s.r.’s consolidated financial statements have been changed to be in line with a.s.r.’s policies. The decrease of the assets and liabilities of the mortgage equity funds relates to the transfer of the ASR MF to Aegon Asset Management, after which these funds no longer qualified as investments in associate. The increase in assets and liabilities of the real estate equity funds and of the other equity funds mainly relates to the positive performance of these funds during 2024. The total assets of the real estate equity funds consist primarily of investment property, € 11,287 million (2023: € 10,567 million) and € 9,750 million (2023: € 7,760 million) of the total assets of the other equity funds consist of equities.

Derivatives are classified mandatorily as FVTPL and changes in the fair value of derivatives at FVTPL are recorded in net fair value gains and (losses), see section 7.6.5. Derivatives held for mortgage loans of Aegon hypotheken are designated under fair value hedge accounting using the EU carve-out on hedge accounting, only net accounting ineffectiveness has an impact on the net result (for more information, see below under hedge accounting). a.s.r. trades both cleared and non-cleared derivatives on the basis of standardised contracts and exchanges cash variation margin with its counterparties. The derivatives are valued daily and cash collateral is exchanged to reflect the change in mark-to-market (MtM) of the derivatives. Because of this periodic margining process, counterparty risk on derivatives is negligible. In addition to the above variation margin obligations, there is also an initial margin obligation for central cleared derivatives which further reduces the risk of a.s.r. and its counterparties that they cannot fulfil their obligations. Notional amounts are not recognised as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet, however notional amounts are used in determining the fair value of the derivatives. Notional amounts do not reflect the potential gain or loss on a derivative transaction.

Net derivatives increased primarily as a result of positive revaluations due to changes in the long-term interest swap rates compared to year-end 2023. In addition to the use of swaps and options a.s.r. manages interest rate risk by using bond forwards, included in interest rate contracts futures. The notional amounts of both receiver and payer swaps are included in the total notional amounts of foreign exchange contracts. The fair value of interest rate contracts is calculated by first determining the cash flows of the floating leg based on the Euribor-curve corresponding the interest reset period (3 months, 6 months or 12 months) of the swap. Then the net present value of the floating and fixed leg is determined by discounting the cash flows with the relevant curve (such as €STR, SOFR and SONIA). The fair value of the interest rate contracts using the above valuation method form the basis for the amount of collateral that is exchanged between a.s.r. and its counterparties in accordance with the underlying contracts. For more information see section 7.8 on risk management. Of the derivatives € 10,323 million assets (2023: € 11,638 million) and € 7,455 million liabilities (2023: € 8,967 million) is expected to be recovered respectively settled more than one year after the balance sheet date.

7.5 Notes to the consolidated balance sheet • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 51 Regulation (BMR). Pursuant to the BMR, IBOR based contracts need to be amended to reference alternative rates or to be provided with a fallback option. The transition away from IBORs has mainly affected a.s.r.’s derivative book, which is measured at fair value through profit or loss. Although most references under these derivatives remain BMR compliant, the Cash Collateral Interest Rate, and consequently discount rates, have required amendments towards Alternative Reference Rates (ARRs). In the past years, all relevant contracts referencing Ibors (except Euribor) have been amended to reflect ARRs.

7.5 Notes to the consolidated balance sheet • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 69 7.5.13.4 Assumptions used In estimating the fulfilment cash flows included in the contract boundary, a.s.r. considers the range of all possible outcomes in an unbiased way specifying the amount of cash flows, timing and probability reflecting conditions existing at the measurement date, using a probability-weighted average of all possible scenarios. In determining possible scenarios, a.s.r. uses all the reasonable and supportable information available to them without undue cost and effort, which includes information about past events, current conditions and future forecasts. The following are key assumption and methodologies used in the valuation of the insurance liabilities and are discussed in more detail further in this chapter: • actuarial assumptions: addressing mortality and longevity, lapse, cancellation and surrender assumptions and for expenses; • risk adjustment; • discount rate; and • coverage units 7.5.13.4.1 Changes in estimates Assumptions are reviewed periodically, based on historical experience, observable market data, including market transactions such as acquisitions and reinsurance transactions, anticipated trends and legislative changes. Similarly, the models and systems used for determining our insurance liabilities are reviewed periodically and, if deemed necessary, updated based on emerging best practices and available technology. During 2024, a.s.r. continued with the harmonisation of assumptions and methods between Aegon NL and a.s.r., which is expected to continue in the coming years. The main impacts of the harmonisation process and annual update of the non-economic assumptions are the impacts on the mortality, expense, inflation and disability and the update of the coverage units. Mortality assumption For the mortality assumptions, next to the harmonisation of the mortality table principles, a.s.r. implemented several refinements to the mortality model and updated the model to the latest available data and experience factors. These updates resulted in a reduction of € 105 million on the insurance liabilities fulfilment cashflows, increasing the CSM. As part of the harmonisation of assumptions and methods between Aegon NL and a.s.r., a new mortality table was developed, based on the Aegon mortality table principles, with updated data as from 2024, which resulted in a reduction of € 71 million on the insurance liabilities, increasing the CSM. Previously a.s.r. applied the Dutch Koninklijk Actuarieel Genootschap tables. The mortality assumption updates also had an impact on the loss component, leading to a net future services dotation with a negative P&L impact of € 13 million Expense assumption The maintenance expense methodologies of a.s.r. and Aegon NL are aligned, and the parameters used for the maintenance expense reserve were updated. These updates consisted of numerous changes with partly 879241 offsetting impacts, -001 which -Part in aggregate -2 resulted in 28Mar25 a reduction of € 13:48 258 million on the insurance liabilities fulfilment cashflows, increasing the CSM. The annual update of the investment expense assumptions resulted in an increase of € 24 million on the insurance liabilities fulfilment cashflows from direct participating insurance contracts, decreasing the CSM of contracts measured under VFA (see section 7.5.14). The assumption update also had an impact on the loss component, leading to a future services release to the P&L of € 114 million. Inflation assumption As part of the harmonisation process, a.s.r.’s methodology for inflation is also implemented for the Aegon NL life portfolios, which resulted in a decrease of € 51 million on the insurance liabilities fulfilment cashflows, increasing the CSM. The annual update of the inflation assumption results in a partially offsetting increase of € 19 million in fulfilment cashflows, decreasing the CSM. The impact on pre-tax income in 2024 of these updates is limited, as the impact relates almost entirely to future services. Disability For the Disability business, a.s.r. updated the non-economic assumptions, including updates for assumptions for disability percentage, incidence and recovery rates and mandated brokers, which resulted in a reduction of € 62 million on the insurance liabilities fulfilment cashflows, increasing the CSM. The impact on pre-tax income in 2024 of these updates is € 5 million, which concerns the impact on past services. The remainder of the impact relates to future services. Harmonisation on Coverage units a.s.r. and Aegon NL reassessed the defined coverage units in a consistent manner for similar products, and reassessment of identified coverage units for dissimilar products. Subsequently, all information was incorporated in the updated a.s.r. CSM-engine model, which resulted in a fractional lower release of the CSM through profit or loss in 2024 (€ 19 million) than would have been in the situation before the alignment and integration. 7.5.13.4.2 Actuarial assumptions Cash flow estimates include both market variables directly observed in the market or derived directly from markets and non-market variables, such as mortality and longevity. The best estimate assumptions regarding mortality and longevity include recent trend assumptions for life expectancy in the Netherlands and a.s.r.’s past experience and are generally developed based on a blend of company experience and industry wide studies, taking into consideration product characteristics, own risk selection criteria, the insured population, recent mortality trend assumptions. Lapse, cancellation and surrender assumptions are non-economic assumptions and reflect the expected policyholder behaviour. As such the rates usually depend on issue year, policy year, major business lines and sales channels. Such granularity is usually enough to capture how the product terms and conditions as well as regulations can influence the timing and volume of lapse and surrenders. Calendar year based adjustments and dynamic policyholder behaviour are considered when needed in specific circumstances. Expenses are included in the fulfilment cash flows, when they are directly attributable to insurance contracts and have been allocated to the business lines. These expenses include acquisition expenses, investment expenses related to direct participating contracts as well as overhead costs that a.s.r. considers to be unavoidable 239 when fulfilling the in-force contracts.

7.5 Notes to the consolidated balance sheet • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 70 7.5.13.4.3 Risk adjustment The risk adjustment is determined for each portfolio of insurance contracts using a Cost of Capital (CoC) method similar to the risk margin used for reporting under the Solvency II. a.s.r. currently uses the Solvency II model to quantify the risks, adjusted for the following points: • Excluding general operational risk; • Excluding market risk (if any); • Excluding reinsurance counterparty default risk; • Added a reinsured risk adjustment by calculating the risk adjustment gross and net of reinsurance; • A CoC rate of 6% is used, diversification effects are applied for disability, taking into account a going concern basis; • ECAP is used where available (e.g. P&C Cat risk); and • The IFRS 17 discount rate curve is used. The risks that are generally incorporated through the risk adjustment are mortality, longevity, disability, lapse, catastrophe and expense risk. A projection of expected future risks is made and all these risks are projected into the future. The total risk for every future year is determined based on correlations between the risks described in Solvency II. The projected total risk for every year is multiplied by a cost of capital charge and discounted at the balance sheet date. The risk adjustment is calculated at a range of confidence levels, as set out below in the table. The implied confidence levels are determined for both the one year and multiyear view, gross of reinsurance. Confidence levels 31 December 2024 1 year view Ultimate view Range 95%—98% 66%—76% The implied confidence levels at 31 December 2023 were equal to those implied at 31 December 2024. 7.5.13.4.4 Discount Discount curves to discount the expected future fulfilment cash flows are determined using a liquid risk free curve to which an illiquidity premium is added. The risk-free curve is based on the 6-month EURIBOR swap rate and includes a credit-risk adjustment and a first smoothing point of 20 years. a.s.r. uses an UFR of 3.25 % in 2024 (2023: 3.40%) for the construction of the curve from the first smoothing point (FSP). The impact of the decrease in UFR is € 131 million on the value of the insurance contract liabilities and € 27 million on the liabilities arising from direct participating insurance contracts. The liability illiquidity premium (LIP) is the adjustment resulting from differences between the liquidity characteristics of the group of insurance contracts and the liquidity of the assets used to establish the yield curve. The 879241 LIP is derived—001 from a- .sPart .r.’s current -2 asset portfolio using 28Mar25 a top-down 13:48 approach per entity or liability product. The discount curves are also applicable to the liabilities arising from direct participating insurance contracts. Further information on these contracts can be found in section 7.5.14. The range of application ratio’s follow the SCR Mass Lapse methodology, and include the harmonisation with Aegon NL. Discount curves used in the valuation of the insurance contract liabilities and liabilities arising from direct participating insurance contracts Years Range LIP 1 5 10 20 30 40 50 31 December 2023 50% (min) 3.80% 2.76% 2.83% 2.84% 2.82% 2.91% 2.99% 100% (max) 4.21% 3.17% 3.24% 3.25% 3.17% 3.18% 3.21% 31 December 2024 50% (min) 2.64% 2.54% 2.67% 2.66% 2.63% 2.72% 2.81% 100% (max) 3.23% 3.13% 3.26% 3.25% 3.12% 3.11% 3.13% 7.5.13.4.5 Coverage units Coverage units are determined based on the expected insurance contract services. The insurance contract services are determined considering the (weighted) quantity of the benefits provided from insurance and investment (return/related) services. If a contract provides coverage for more than one insured event or if it provides additional investment (return/related) services, the coverage unit reflects all material benefits. a.s.r. has defined coverage units that differ per product type to best reflect a product’s characteristics and the nature of the services provided to the policyholder. Insurance services are typically depicted by a metric that is based on the maximum amount that a policyholder would receive if the insured event were to occur, such as the total benefits amount or the death benefit amount. For investment-type services, coverage units are based on the total service that a.s.r. expects to provide the policyholder over the lifetime of the contract, which is best represented by the coverage unit ‘total premium’.

The remeasurements resulted in an increase of € 112 million in equity in the actuarial gains and losses. An amount of € 4,839 million (2023: € 5,018 million) of the employee benefits is expected to be settled more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Costs of post-employment and other long-term employee benefits 2024 2023 Post-employment benefits pensions -238 -198 Post-employment benefits other than pensions -1 1 Total -239 -197 Cost of post-employment and other long-term employee benefits -239 -197 The costs of the post-employment benefits pensions relate to the current DC pension plan of a.s.r., the previous DB plans of a.s.r. and Aegon NL, plus the DC plans of the other group companies. 7.5.15.1 Post-employment benefits pensions a.s.r. has a number of DC and DB post-employment benefit plans for its employees and former employees. The majority of employees are formally employed by a.s.r. A limited number of employees are employed by other group companies. The pension plans of other group companies are disclosed in a separate section in this section. a.s.r. life and Aegon life, insurance companies and group entities, are the insurers of the majority of the post-employment DB plans. As a.s.r. life and Aegon life hold the investments that are meant to cover the employee benefit obligation for the DB plans, they do not qualify as plan assets in accordance with IAS 19 and are therefore included in financial assets. a.s.r. life is also the insurer of the current pension DC plans. a.s.r. employees All pension buildup for existing and new employees as of 1 January 2021 are included in the post-employment DC plans. All employees who commenced service between 1 January 2006 and 31 December 2020 are included in one post-employment DB plan (‘Basic plan’). All other employees remain active within the existing plan at the date of first employment. Previous plans for former employees are also still active. The recognised expenses for the DC plan in 2024 amounts to € 83 million (2023 € 60 million). The DC plan has two components with defined benefit elements with a marginal impact; survivors’ pension and the option to buy a guaranteed income. Both components are accounted for in the same way as the DC plan. The past service cost of € 7 million pre-tax presented in 2023 mainly relates to the RVU obligation in relation to the Aegon NL employees that entered the employment of a.s.r. The methods and techniques used to calculate the DB obligations are based on IAS 19 requirements and calculated by an independent actuary. The benefits under these plans are dependent on factors such as years of service and compensation. Pension obligations are determined using mortality tables, the rate of employee turnover, wage drift and economic assumptions for factors such as inflation, and the discount rate. As per 31 December 2020, the contribution to the DB pension scheme ended, therefore no accrual rate and pensionable salary and minimum franchise is required for this scheme. • The DB pension scheme had a retirement age of 68 years; • The DB scheme was based on average-salary pension; and • Future inflation indexation agreements are in force. Former Aegon employees Former employees of Aegon NL are still covered by a number of Aegon NL post-employment benefit plans. Aegon NL has issued DC plans and DB plans. 250 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

The contribution payable to a DC plan for services provided is recognised as an expense in the income statement. An asset (or liability) is recognised to the extent that the contribution paid exceeds (or falls short of) the amount due for services provided. With the integration of Aegon NL and a.s.r. on 1 October 2023, the Aegon DC plan with Aegon IORP became non-contributory; from that date, the employees of Aegon NL are included in the DC plan of a.s.r. The DB obligation is based on the terms and conditions of the plan applicable on the balance sheet date. In measuring the DB obligation Aegon NL uses the projected unit credit method and actuarial assumptions that represent the best estimate of future variables. The benefits are discounted using an interest rate based on the internal curve for high quality corporate bonds, that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity that approximate the terms of the related pension liability. Actuarial assumptions used in the measurement of the liability include the discount rate, estimated future wage inflation, mortality rates and price inflation. As per 31 December 2019, the contribution to the DB pension scheme ended, therefore no accrual rate and pensionable salary and minimum franchise is required for this scheme. • The DB pension scheme had a retirement age of 68 years; • The DB scheme was based on average-salary pension; and • Future inflation indexation agreements are in force. Other group companies employees The other group companies, which are entities mainly operating in the Distribution and Services segment, have DC plans, insured with a.s.r. life. The recognised expenses for these DC plans in 2024 amounts to € 19 million (2023: € 13 million). 7.5 Notes to the consolidated balance sheet • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 81 Net defined benefit liability Defined benefit obligation for all the above mentioned plans 2024 2023 Net defined benefit liability at 1 January 5,160 2,722 Included in income statement Current service cost, contributions by employer—1 Interest cost 175 142 Past service cost—-7 Other -2 -2 Total 174 134 Remeasurement of liabilities included in OCI Discount rate change -64 155 Other assumptions change -40 -6 Experience adjustments -48 11 Total -151 160 Benefits -211 -160 Changes in the composition of the group—2,340 Other 2 -37 Net defined benefit liability at 31 December 4,974 5,160 At 31 December Defined benefit obligation 4,974 5,160 Fair value of plan assets — Net defined benefit liability 4,974 5,160 a.s.r. employees Employees account for 19% (2023: 20%) of the DB obligation, 55% (2023: 52%) of the DB obligation relates to former employees currently receiving pension benefits, 24% (2023: 25%) of the DB obligation relates to deferred pensioners and 2% (2023: 3%) of the DB obligation relates to other members.

As per 31 December 2024 the duration of the DB obligation was 13 years (2023: 14 years).

7.5 Notes to the consolidated balance sheet • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 82 Former Aegon employees The DB obligation of Aegon NL classifies as multiple-employer contract. a.s.r. has an obligation to pay part of the guarantee premium, which is an insurance premium to pay for the guarantee provided by Aegon life. Each year when there is a decision related to additional entitlements stemming from indexation, a new guarantee premium is calculated. This premium is based on the total of entitlements, including the previous annual layers of indexation bought in the past. The indexation annuity, which is based on contractual tariff, is extracted from the indexation depot. The guarantee premium, which is calculated based on the difference between the current market price and the contractual tariff for indexation, is paid in full by a.s.r. to Aegon life, and subsequently 29% thereof is recovered from Aegon Ltd. (2024: € 4 million; 2023: € 4 million). These contributions from Aegon Ltd. are set out in the formal terms of the plan, and thus affect remeasurements of the net DB liability. An amount of € 80 million (2023: € 69 million) was netted of the DB obligation and included in OCI. Employees account for 0% (2023 0%) of the DB obligation, 55% (2023 54%) of the DB obligation relates to former employees currently receiving pension benefits, 43% (2023 44%) of the DB obligation relates to deferred pensioners and 2% (2023 2%) of the DB obligation relates to other members. The discount rate was 3.51 % at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: 3.42%) , resulting in a € 22 million decrease (2023: € 83 million increase) in the DB obligation. As per 31 December 2024 the duration of the DB obligation was 14 years (2023: 14 years). The change in other assumptions amounts to € -20 million (2023 € -6 million) primarily due to updated mortality rates of participants to the closed DB pension scheme. Experience adjustments Experience adjustments are actuarial gains and losses that have arisen due to differences between actuarial assumptions. The following table provides information about experience adjustments with respect to qualifying plan assets and the DB obligation: Experience adjustments (in € thousands) 2024 2023 Experience adjustments to qualifying investments, gain (loss)—-As a % of liabilities as at 31 December 0.0% 0.0% Experience adjustments to defined benefit obligation, gain (loss) 47,989 -10,580 As a % of liabilities as at 31 December 1.0% -0.2% Assumptions The principal actuarial assumptions and parameters at year-end 2024 2023 Discount rate 3.5% 3.4% Mortality (years) a.s.r. 19.9 20.1 Mortality (years) Aegon 21.1 21.1 In the calculation of the DB obligation the: • Discount rate is based on an internal curve for high quality corporate bonds; • For the a.s.r. pension scheme the most recent mortality table ‘a.s.r. 2024 prognosetafel’ is used, in combination with a.s.r. specific experience factors for the pension portfolio; • For the Aegon NL pension scheme the ‘a.s.r. 2024 prognosetafel’ is used, in combination with a.s.r. specific experience factors for the pension portfolio; • The period of indexation is based on the expected duration of the separate account to fund the future inflation indexation. The sensitivity of the above actuarial assumptions to feasible possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions whilst other assumption remain constant, would have affected the DB obligation by the amounts shown below: Sensitivity of actuarial assumptions Increase Decrease Discount rate (1% movement) -497 622 Future mortality (1 year movement) -131 130 Non-qualifying plan assets The portfolios of global investments related to the ended DB pension schemes of a.s.r. and former Aegon NL are considered non-qualifying plan assets. The non-qualifying assets, which are managed by a group company, are not presented as part of the net DB obligation. For the non-qualifying assets backing the post-employment benefit plans, a.s.r. has drawn up general guidelines for the asset mix based on criteria such as geographical location and ratings. To ensure the investment guidelines remain in line with the conditions of the post-employment benefit obligations, a.s.r. regularly performs Asset Liability Management (ALM) studies. Transactions in the non-qualifying assets are done within the guidelines. As the post-employment benefit plans are a liability on group level, the underlying insurance and market risks are in scope of a.s.r.’s risk policies (section 7.8). The overall interest-rate risk of the Group is managed using interest-rate swaps and swaptions. a.s.r. manages 252 the interest rate risk through an overlay interest hedging strategy using swaps and swaptions for Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

The fair value of these assets amounted to € 348 million (2023: € 330 million) for a.s.r. and € 548 million (2023: € 603 million) in relation to Aegon NL.

The provision for the settlement to the claimants for unit-linked products is a provision to cover cost from legal and operational actions related to the transparency and cost discussion of investment insurance policies. At the end of November 2023, a.s.r. and five consumer protection organisations agreed on a settlement to be paid to the claimants to a maximum of € 250 million. The agreement became final on 19 February 2025, as at least 90% of the affiliate customers agreed to the settlement. It has also been decided to set up a leniency scheme for customers who are not affiliate with the consumer protection organisations for distressing cases that are assessed on their merits. This initiative is to resolve long-lasting and historical disputes concerning unit-linked life insurances. The provision is calculated as the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle these claims, taking into account the settlements reached, management’s opinion and consultation with its legal advisors. The provision recognised by a.s.r. to finalise 879241 the unit-linked -001 life insurance -Part claims -2 amounts to € 300 28Mar25 million (2023: 13:48 € 300 million) as a result of the settlement offer made in 2023. In addition, € 36 million (2023: € 37 million) is recognised in the insurance liabilities as remaining portion of the previous agreements. See section 7.7.7.2 for details of the contingent liability relating to unit-linked products. The provision for VAT and legal issues is based on best estimates available at year-end, making allowance for expert opinions. The provisions for employee restructuring are based on arrangements agreed in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, restructuring plans, and on decisions made by a.s.r.’s management. The restructuring provision amounting to € 57 million (2023: € 51 million) relates mainly to the reorganisation of a.s.r. Nederland due to the integration of Aegon NL entities and the consequential program to achieve a lower cost level. This program will be continued in 2025.  The timing of the outflow of resources related to these provisions is uncertain because of the unpredictability of the outcome and the time required for the settlement of disputes. An amount of € 368 million (2023: € 381 million) of the provisions is expected to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date. 7.5.17 Borrowings See accounting policies U and V.

These revenues, as defined by the OECD, include any form of income and are therefore not limited to revenue recognised in accordance with IFRS 15. a.s.r. operates in the Netherlands as a large-scale domestic group and should, in principle, be subject to the top-up tax rules under Pilar 2. a.s.r. has determined that any top-up tax due under Pillar 2 is an income tax within the scope of IAS 12 and accounts for it as a current tax when it is incurred. However, a.s.r. has assessed the potential exposure to Pillar 2 and does not expect the impact of the Pillar 2 income taxes to be material. This is because a.s.r. can rely on: • The domestic group exemption during the first five years after the Pillar 2 legislation comes into effect; and • The Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour rules during the first three years after the Pillar 2 legislation comes into effect, which allows a.s.r. to reduce the top-up tax to zero. Although a.s.r. could reduce any top-up tax to zero during the first five years by applying a combination of the domestic group exemption and the Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour rules, a.s.r. notes that it applies the temporary mandatory relief from recognising and disclosing information about deferred taxes related to Pillar 2 income taxes. a.s.r. will continue to monitor the developments of Pillar 2 legislation, the applicability of the domestic group exemption, and the applicability of the CbCR Safe Harbour rules on the Group’s financial position.

It is estimated that a 10% increase in valuation of these equities would have no impact on net result due to the non-recycling nature of equity treatment, but would increase equity by € 5 million (2023: € 6 million), being approximately 0.1% (before tax) (2023: 0.1% (before tax)) of total equity. Investments at FVTPL The mortgage loan portfolio is classified as level 3 ‘not measured on the basis of market observable market data’. Non-observable market inputs are used in the valuation methods, in addition to the observable market inputs. The valuation method used to determine the fair value of the mortgage loan portfolio is based on the mortgage spread of the risk-free interest rate curve and assumptions for unexpected full prepayments, originating costs, and the options related to early redemption and moving. A slight increase in the mortgage spread used would result in a significant decrease in fair value, and vice versa. The mortgage loan portfolio consists of high quality mortgages with a relatively fixed return, limited arrears. The mortgage loan portfolio consists only of Dutch mortgages with a limited counterparty default risk in line with the strategic investment plan, see section 7.8.4. The fair value of asset-backed securities is based on quotes retrieved from brokers or data vendors. The quotes are validated monthly and challenged if deemed necessary. The fair value of securitisations are determined based on a discounted cash flow model in case market quotes are insufficiently liquid. The main non-observable market input for the other investment funds classified as level 3 is the net asset value as published by the investee. It is estimated that a 10% increase in valuation of these equities would increase result before tax and equity by € 61 million (2023: € 57 million), being approximately 0.7% (before tax) (2023: 0.6% (before tax)) of total equity. The method of determining the fair value of the mortgage equity funds is based on the valuation of the underlying mortgage loans. The discounting curve used in this valuation is based on the two lowest tariffs in the market, excluding that of a.s.r.

The fair value measurement at reporting date is based on valuations by independent professional appraisers. These valuations have been performed annually, with quarterly updates, for the entire portfolio of investment property, buildings for own use and plant. Independent professional appraisers use reference transactions of comparable properties, in combination with the DCF and income capitalisation method, to determine the fair value of the property or plant. The reference transactions of comparable objects of the property portfolio are generally based on observable data consisting of the land register ‘Kadaster’ and the rural land price monitor as published by the Dutch Government ‘Grondprijsmonitor’ in an active property market. The 271 property has a relatively fixed return. The property portfolio is well diversified and consists of residential, retail, offices and rural property, throughout the Netherlands.

The amounts included consist of all recognised financial instruments that are presented net in the balance sheet under the IFRS-EU offsetting requirements (legal right to offset and intention to settle on a net basis) and amounts presented gross in the balance sheet but subject to enforceable master netting arrangements or similar arrangements. a.s.r. mitigates credit risk in derivative contracts by entering into collateral agreements, where practical, and in ISDA master netting agreements for each of the legal entities of a.s.r. to facilitate a.s.r.’s right to offset credit risk exposure. The credit support agreement will normally dictate the threshold over which collateral needs to be pledged by a.s.r. or its counterparty. Transactions requiring a.s.r. or its counterparty to post collateral are typically the result of over-the-counter derivative trades, comprised mostly of interest rate swaps, currency swaps and credit swaps. These transactions are conducted under terms that are usual and customary to standard borrowing, derivative, securities lending and securities borrowing activities, as well as requirements determined by exchanges where the bank acts as intermediary.

In 2023, a.s.r. revised the remuneration policy for EB and MB members. The revised remuneration policy is an add-on to the existing policy to acquire a.s.r. shares under the ESPP, resulting from the transaction with Aegon NL. The number of shares that are allocated (granted) to MB members is 2,004 shares (2023: 1,035 shares). The shares are purchased by the MB at a discount of 18.5%.

7.7 Other notes • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 107 7.7.6 Employee Share Purchase Plan In 2019 a.s.r. issued an employee share purchase plan (ESPP or ‘the plan’). a.s.r. employees are thereby given the opportunity to acquire a.s.r. shares at a discount. a.s.r. can suspend or withdraw the plan at any time. There is no option under the plan for either a.s.r. or the employee to settle in cash or other assets. Therefore the plan is an equity-settled share-based payments plan. In 2023, a.s.r. has introduced the revised remuneration policy for EB and MB members, see section 7.7.5. Under the terms of the plan the granting and vesting is predefined. The grant date of the plan is the moment the employee registers to participate in the plan. The shares vest immediately on the transaction date when cash is received from the employee, unconditionally, subject only to a post-vesting transfer restriction of five years. Otherwise, there are no specific restrictions to the share (i.e. voting power, dividend restrictions). The employees purchase the shares at a discount of 18.5%. The fair value of the a.s.r. share with a lock-up of five years at the grant date equals the purchased price by the employee. The ESPP has an impact on equity through the adjustment in the treasury shares and retained earnings. See section 7.5.11.5 Treasury shares for more information. The number of shares purchased by employees during the reporting period was 268 thousand for an amount of € 9 million (2023: 159 thousand for an amount of € 5 million). 7.7.7 Contingent liabilities and assets 7.7.7.1 General claims and disputes The Group is a respondent in a number of claims, disputes and legal proceedings arising from the normal conduct of business. Provisions are formed for such occurrences if, in management’s opinion and after consultation with its legal advisors, a.s.r. is likely to have to make payments and the payable amount can be estimated with sufficient reliability. The costs of the compensation scheme for unit-linked insurance contracts have been fully recognised in the financial statements based on management’s best knowledge of current facts, actions, claims, complaints and events. Provisions are recognised in the liabilities arising from insurance contracts (see section 7.5.13) and legal provisions (see section 7.5.16). Dutch insurers see an increase in insurance policies complaints / claims based on grounds other than the cost compensation. Current and possible future legal proceedings could have a substantial financial and reputational impact. However it is not possible at this time to make reliable estimates of the number of expected proceedings, possible future precedents and the financial impact of current and possible future proceedings. Currently there are no indications that such a provision would be necessary for a.s.r. As for other 879241 claims and -legal 001 proceedings, -Part-2 against a.s.r. known 28Mar25 to management 13:48 (and for which, in accordance with the defined principles, no provision has been formed), management believes, after having sought expert advice, that these claims have no chance of success, or that a.s.r. can successfully mount a defence against them, or that the outcome of the proceedings is unlikely to result in a significant loss for a.s.r. For further information related to the Unit-Linked Products (beleggingsverzekeringen), see section 7.7.7.2. 7.7.7.2 Pending litigation portfolio and product-related issues Unit-linked products (beleggingsverzekeringen) Since the end 2006 the unit-linked policies (beleggingsverzekeringen) received negative attention in the media and from political and regulatory sources. The criticism and scrutiny on unit-linked life insurance products led to significant compensation arrangements and product improvement programmes by Dutch insurance companies, including a.s.r. However, individual customers as well as policyholder advocate groups and their representatives continue to focus on the fees and charges included in products, alleged transparency aspects, as well as that consumers feel they did not receive sufficient compensation based on the compensation arrangements. Proceedings in which a.s.r. is involved a.s.r. is currently subject to a number of collective actions: • Vereniging Woekerpolis.nl • Consumentenbond / ConsumentenClaim • Stichting Wakkerpolis The claims have been rejected by a.s.r. and a.s.r. defends itself in these legal proceedings. In November 2023, in order to resolve these long-lasting and historical disputes a.s.r. initiated a settlement agreement with five consumer protection organisations. The settlement is not an acknowledgement of too high costs, risk premiums and/or charges. a.s.r. also set up a leniency scheme for customers who are not affiliate with a consumer protection organisation for distressing cases that are assessed on their merits. On 19 February 2025 it was announced that the agreement that was reached in November 2023 with the five customer protection groups is final. More than 90% of the affiliated customers have accepted a personal offer. All existing collective proceedings against a.s.r. will be withdrawn once the settlement has been fully executed. No new (collective) proceeding will be initiated by the organisations nor their individual representatives against a.s.r. See section 7.5.16 for details. Optas In 2019 Optas had been merged into Aegon life, based on prior approval and instruction by the DNB. A limited number of policyholders opposed the merger and appealed the permission of DNB at the administrative Court. On 13 February 2023 the administrative Court granted the objections and annulled the permission granted by the DNB. The Court found that DNB should have required that all policyholders should have been individually informed in writing regarding the merger and given the possibility to oppose the merger. The Court also found that DNB should have shared all (including those marked classified and sensitive) documents relating to the permission to the objectors. Based on the law (Wft) the legality of the merger is not affected by an administrative annulment. This has been confirmed by ruling of the civil Court 277 in a case against Aegon life, that is now subject of a pending appeal in cassation. Though Aegon life does not expect the pending litigation at the civil Court to have a material impact, if any, there can be Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 112 7.8 Risk management Risk management (RM) is an integral part of a.s.r.’s day-to-day business operations. a.s.r. applies an integrated approach to managing risks, ensuring that strategic targets are met. Value is created by striking the right balance between risk, return and capital whilst ensuring that obligations to stakeholders are met 7.8.1 Risk management system It is of great importance to a.s.r. that risks within all business segments are timely and adequately contr In order to do so, a.s.r. implemented a RM framework based on internationally recognised and accepted standards (such as COSO ERM and ISO 31000 RM principles and guidelines). Using this framework, material risks that a.s.r. is, or can be, exposed to, are identified, measured, managed, monitored, reported and evaluated. The RM framework is both applicable to a.s.r. group and the underlying (legal) business entities 7.8.1.1 Risk Management Framework The figure shows the RM framework as applied by a.s.r. • Strategic, tactical and operational objectives that are pursued; • The risk appetite in pursuit of those strategic, tactical and operational objectives. a.s.r.’s risk strategy aims to ensure that decisions are made within the boundaries of the risk appetite, as stipulated annually by the EB and the MB (see chapter Risk strategy and risk appetite). 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Page 282 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements 5 1 Evaluating Identifying Risk Risk strategy culture (incl. risk appetite) Risk policies Risk 4 and governance Monitoring procedures 2 and reporting Measuring Systems and data 3 Managing

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 113 Risk governance Risk governance can be seen as the way in which risks are managed, through a sound risk governance structure and clear tasks and responsibilities, including risk ownership. a.s.r. employs a risk governance framework that entails the tasks and responsibilities of the Risk Management organisation and the structure of the Risk committees (see chapter Risk governance). Systems and data Systems and data support the RM process and provide management information to the risk committees and other relevant bodies. a.s.r. finds it very important to have qualitatively adequate data, models and systems in place, in order to be able to report and steer correct figures and to apply risk-mitigating measures timely. To ensure this, a.s.r. has designed a policy for data quality and model validation in line with Solvency II. Tools, models and systems are implemented to support the RM process by giving guidance to and insights into the key risk indicators, risk tolerance levels, boundaries and actions, and remediation plans to mitigate risks (see chapter Systems and data). Risk policies and procedures: Risk policies and procedures are part of the a.s.r. policy house. Policy documents are submitted for approval to the relevant (risk) committee in accordance with the applicable governance. Policies are evaluated annually, tested against internal and external market developments, and changes in laws and regulations, and updated as necessary in accordance with the governance defined in the policy. Each risk policy must include at least: • The scope within a.s.r. to which the policy applies. • A demonstrable and consistent link with relevant laws and regulations and/or strategy. • Key requirements to achieve the policy’s objectives. • The risk categories to which the policy line applies • Description of the method for controlling the risk. • Specific risk tolerances and limits within the relevant risk categories in accordance with the risk appetite statements. • The frequency and content of regular stress tests and the circumstances that would justify ad-hoc stress tests. • The processes and reporting procedures applied. • Exceptions and Escalations. The classification of risks within a.s.r. is performed in line with, but is not limited to, the Solvency II risks. Each risk category consists of one or more policies or procedures that explicates how risks are identified, measured and controlled within a.s.r. (see chapter Risk policies and procedures). Risk culture An effective risk culture is one that enables and rewards individuals and groups for taking risks in an informed manner. It is a term describing the values, beliefs, knowledge, attitudes and understanding about risk. All the elements of the RM framework combined make an effective risk culture. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Page Within a.s.r. risk culture is an important element that emphasises the human side of Risk Management. The MB has a distinguished role in expressing the appropriate norms and values (tone at the top). a.s.r. employs several measures to increase the risk awareness and, in doing so, the risk culture (see chapter Risk culture). Risk management process The RM process contains all activities within the RM processes to structurally 1) identify risks; 2) measure risks; 3) manage risks; 4) monitor and report on risks; and 5) evaluate the risk profile and RM framework. At a.s.r., the RM process is used to implement the risk strategy in the steps mentioned. These five steps are applicable to the risks within the company to be managed effectively (see chapter Risk Management process). Based on the integration of Aegon NL, the beneficial elements from Aegon’s Risk Management (RM) framework are incorporated into the a.s.r. RM framework. The main developments in 2024 include the integration and refinement of risk appetite, risk management policies and procedures, control frameworks and reports, as well as the redesign and standardisation of the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tooling Cerrix. 7.8.1.1.1 Risk management strategy and risk appetite a.s.r.’s risk strategy aims to ensure that decisions are made within the boundaries of the risk appetite, as stipulated annually by the EB and the MB. Risk appetite is defined as the level and type of risk a.s.r. is willing to bear in order to meet its strategic, tactical and operational objectives. The risk appetite is formulated to give direction to the management of the (strategic) risks. The risk appetite contains a number of qualitative and quantitative risk appetite statements and is defined for both financial (FR) and non-financial risks (NFR). The statements highlight the risk preferences and limits of the organisation and are viewed as key elements for the realisation of the strategy. The statements and limits are defined at both group level and at legal entity level and are determined by the a.s.r. risk committee and approved by the SB. The statements are evaluated yearly to maintain alignment with the strategy. Since 2024, we have adopted a new, more detailed taxonomy for non-financial risks consisting of two levels. This means that in each risk report, risk colours are assigned to both level 1 risks and level 2 risks. The risk taxonomy at level 1 has remained largely the same, however the number of risk categories at this level (generic level) has changed from 8 to 6. The risk categories “Sustainability” and “Outsourcing” have been moved to level 2. The level 2 risk categories have been introduced. This second level provides more depth and substantiation of the ‘main categories’ (19 risks in total). The NFR statements have not changed compared to 2023. The year 2024 focused on data collection and reporting of non-financial risks according to the new taxonomy. FR statements have not been changed at a.s.r. group level.

Risk ownership The EB has the final responsibility for risk exposures and management within the organisation. Part of the responsibilities have been delegated to persons that manage the divisions where the actual risk-taking takes place. Risk owners are accountable for one or more risk exposures that are inextricably linked to the department or product line they are responsible for. Through the risk committee structure, risk owners provide accountability for the risk exposures.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 115 Three lines model The risk governance structure is based on the ‘three lines’ model. The three lines model consists of three lines with different responsibilities with respect to the ownership of controlling risks. The table below provides insight in the organisation of the three lines model within a.s.r. Positioning of key functions Within the risk governance, the key functions (compliance, risk, actuarial and audit) are organised in accordance with Solvency II regulation. They play an important role as countervailing power of management in the decision-making process. The four key functions are independently positioned within a.s.r. In all the risk committees one or more key functions participate. The second line report to the CRO, which is a member of the management board. All key functions have direct communication lines with the EB and can escalate 879241 to the- chairman 001-Part of the—Audit 2 & Risk Committee 28Mar25 of the SB. Furthermore, 13:48 the key functions have regular meetings with the supervisors of the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) and / or The Dutch Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). Group Risk Management GRM is responsible for the execution of the RM function (RMF) and the Actuarial Function (AF). The department is led by the RMF holder. At year-end GRM consists of the following four sub-departments: • Operational Risk Management; • Financial Risk Management; • Model Validation; • Methodology. Operational Risk Management Operational Risk Management (ORM) is responsible for second-line strategic and operational (including IT) RM and the enhancement of the risk awareness for a.s.r. and its subsidiaries. The responsibilities of ORM include the development of risk policies and procedures, the annual review and update of the risk strategy (risk appetite), the coordination of the SRA process leading to the risk priorities and emerging risks and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (hereafter: ORSA) scenarios and the monitoring of the non-financial risk profile. For the management of operational risks, a.s.r. has a solid Risk-Control framework in place that contributes to its long-term solidity. The quality of the framework is continuously enhanced by the analysis of operational incidents, periodic risk assessments and monitoring by the RMF. ORM actively promotes risk awareness at all levels to contribute to the vision of staying a socially relevant insurer. Financial Risk Management Financial Risk Management (FRM) is responsible for the second line financial RM and supports both the AF and RMF. An important task of FRM is to be the countervailing power to the EB and management in managing financial risks for a.s.r. and its subsidiaries. FRM assesses the accuracy and reliability of the market risk, counterparty risk, insurance risk and liquidity risk, risk margin and best estimate liability. As part of the AF, FRM reviews the technical provisions, monitors methodologies, assumptions and models used in these calculations, and assesses the adequacy and quality of data used in the calculations. Furthermore, the AF expresses an opinion on the underwriting policy and determines if risks related to the profitability of new products are sufficiently addressed in the product development process. The AF also expresses an opinion on the adequacy of reinsurance arrangements. Other responsibilities of financial RM are e.g. support monitoring Solvency II compliancy (e.g. changes in Solvency II regulation), updating policies on valuation and risk, activities related to the DNB, assessment of the ORSA (financial parts), assessment of strategic initiatives. Model Validation Model Validation (MV) is responsible for performing validation activities or having them carried out in accordance with the drawn up annual model validation plan. MV is responsible for supervising compliance with the model validation policy, discussing and challenging the (draft) validation reports and advising the Model Committee. The MV is a separate sub-department within GRM. The MV is part of the RMF and operates independent of the AF.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 116 Methodology Methodology is responsible for establishing methodologies for Partial Internal Model (hereafter: PIM). The Methodology department is responsible for setting up the internal model, including documentation and maintenance of the documentation. It also handles continuous education by: (1) updating training materials; (2) providing training sessions; (3) assessing the suitability of training levels. Additionally, it analyses the functioning of the internal model, periodically calibrates the internal model parameters, monitors the suitability of the internal model, and conducts annual comparisons of PIM and SF results. Compliance The responsibilities of Compliance include the development of compliance policies and procedures, the annual review and update of the compliance risk strategy (risk appetite) and the monitoring of the non-financial risk profile concerning compliance risks. An important task of Compliance is to be the countervailing power to the EB and other management in managing compliance risks for a.s.r. and its subsidiaries. The mission of the compliance function is to enhance and ensure a controlled and sound business operation. As second line, Compliance encourages the organisation to comply with relevant rules and regulations, ethical standards and the internal standards derived from them (‘rules’) by providing advice and formulating policies. Compliance supports the first line in the identification of compliance risks and assesses the effectiveness of RM on which Compliance reports to the relevant risk committees. In doing so, Compliance uses a compliance risk and monitoring framework. In line with RM, Compliance also creates further awareness to comply with the rules and desired ethical behaviour. Compliance coordinates interaction with regulators in order to maintain effective and transparent relationships with those authorities. Audit The Audit department, the third line, provides an independent opinion on governance, risk and management processes, with the goal of supporting the EB and other management of a.s.r. in achieving the corporate objectives. To that end, Audit evaluates the effectiveness of governance, risk and management processes, and provides pragmatic advice that can be implemented to further optimise these processes. In addition, senior management can engage Audit for specific advisory projects. Risk committee structure a.s.r. has established a structure of risk committees with the objective to monitor the risk profile for a.s.r. group, its legal entities and its business lines in order to ensure that it remains within the risk appetite and the underlying risk tolerances and risk limits. When triggers are hit or likely to be hit, risk committees make decisions regarding measures to be taken, being risk-mitigating measures or measures regarding governance, such as the frequency of their meetings. For each of the risk committees a statute is drawn up in which the tasks, composition and responsibilities of the committee are defined. In the first half of 2024 the committee structure was further rationalised, which led to the elimination of the separate committees for Aegon entities. Risk committee structure Supervisory Board Audit & Risk Committee Executive Board/ a.s.r. Risk Management Board Committee Credit and Participation Product Approval Central Sustainability Financial Non-financial Committee & Review Investment Committee Risk Committee Risk Committee Distribution & Services Process Board Committee Audit & Risk Committee The Audit & Risk Committee was established by the Supervisory Board to gain support, among other things, in the following matters: • Assessment of the risk appetite proposal and quarterly monitoring of the risk profile; • Assessment of the annual report, including the financial statements of a.s.r.; • The relationship with the independent external auditor, including the assessment of the quality and independence of the independent external auditor and the proposal by the SB to the AGM to appoint the independent external auditor; • The performance of the audit function, compliance function, the AF and the RMF; • Compliance with rules and regulations; and • The financial position. The Audit & Risk Committee has four members of the SB, one of whom acts as the chairman. a.s.r. risk committee The a.s.r. risk committee monitors a.s.r.’s overall risk profile on a quarterly basis. At least annually, the a.s.r. risk committee determines the risk appetite statements, limits and targets for a.s.r. This relates to the overall a.s.r. risk appetite and the subdivision of risk appetite by financial and non-financial risks. The risk appetite is then submitted to the a.s.r. Audit & Risk Committee, which advises the SB on the approval of the risk appetite. The a.s.r. risk committee also monitors the progress made in managing risks included in the risk priorities and emerging risks of the EB. All members of the MB participate in the a.s.r. risk committee, which is chaired by the CEO. The involvement of the EB ensures that risk decisions are being addressed at the appropriate level within the organisation. In addition to the EB, the Key Functions (Risk management, Compliance, Internal audit, Actuarial function) are members of the Committee. Non-Financial Risk Committee The Non-Financial Risk Committee (NFRC) discusses, advises and decides upon non-financial risk policies and 286 procedures . The most relevant non-financial risk policies are approved by the a.s.r. risk committee. The NFRC monitors a.s.r.’s overall non-financial risk profile, in particular whether non-financial risks of a.s.r.

If the risk profile exceeds the limits, the NFRC takes mitigating actions. The NFRC reports to the a.s.r. risk committee. The NFRC is chaired by a member of the EB. The NFRC discusses the most important risks from the underlying non-financial risk committees (Business Risk Committee (BRC). Financial Risk Committee The Financial Risk Committee (FRC) discusses, advises and decides upon financial risk policies. The most relevant financial risk policies are approved by the a.s.r. risk committee. The FRC monitors that financial risks of a.s.r. and the business entities are managed adequately and monitors that the risk profile stays within the agreed risk limits. If the risk profile exceeds the limits, the NFR takes mitigating actions. The FRC reports to the a.s.r. risk committee. The Chairman of the FRC is the CFO. In mid-2024, the committee structure was further rationalised. The FRC now oversees the financial risk for all entities, leading to the dissolution of the separate committees for Aegon entities. Credit and Participation Committee Distribution & Services In the Credit and Participation Committee Distribution & Services (hereafter: CPC D&S), acquisition, credit, and combined participation and credit proposals (D&S proposals) within the scope of the Distribution and Services segment of a.s.r. (D&S segment) are assessed. The CPC D&S is authorised to decide on proposals with a total investment between € 2 million and € 7.5 million. The management of D&S is independently authorised for decisions up to € 2 million. Decisions on proposals above € 7.5 million are reserved for the Board of Directors, with advice from the CPC D&S. The chair of the CPC D&S is the CFO of a.s.r. Product Approval and Review Process Board The Product Approval & Review Process Board (PARP Board) is responsible for the final decision-making process around the introduction of new products and adjustments in existing products. The committee evaluates if potential risks in newly developed products are sufficiently addressed. New products need to be developed in such a way that they are cost efficient, reliable, useful and secure for our clients. New products also need to have a strategic fit with a.s.r.’s mission to be a solid and trustful insurer. In addition, the risks of existing products are evaluated, as requested by the PARP as a result of product reviews. The PARP Board is chaired by the managing Director of Services. Sustainability Committee The Sustainability Committee (hereafter: SC) aims to review and advise on central and decentralised draft policies related to sustainability before these policies are submitted for approval to the Board of Directors or the competent committee. Additionally, dilemmas, complications, and conflicting interests in the field of sustainability (including ESG and CDD/KYC) that arise at a.s.r. and/or one of the (sub)committees are discussed. The chair of the SC is the Director of Communications. Central Investment Committee In addition to the risk committee structure, the Central Investment Committee (CIC) monitors tactical decisions and the execution of the investment policy. It takes investment decisions within the boundaries of the strategic asset allocation as agreed upon in the FRC. The CIC bears particular responsibility for investment decisions exceeding the mandate of the investment department. The CIC is chaired by the CFO. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 7.8.1.1.3 Systems and data GRC tooling is implemented to support the RM process by giving guidance and insight into the key risk indicators, risk tolerance levels, boundaries and actions and remediation plans to mitigate risks. The availability, adequacy and quality of data and IT systems is important in order to ensure that correct figures are reported and risk mitigating measures can be taken in time. It is important to establish under which conditions the management information that is submitted to the risk committees has been prepared and which quality safeguards were applied in the process of creating this information. This allows the risk committees to ascertain whether the information is sufficient to base further decisions upon. a.s.r. has a Data Quality policy in place to support the availability of correct management information. This policy is evaluated on an annual basis and revised at least every three years to keep the standards in line with the latest developments on information management. The quality of the information is reviewed based on the following aspects, based on Solvency II: • completeness (including documentation of accuracy of results) • adequacy • reliability • timeliness Adherence to this policy is ensured by the three lines model. With a Central Data Office, additional measures are taken to increase maturity in data management practices. The data risk governance and committee structure in place ensures that ownership and decision making regarding assumptions and the plausibility of the results is effectively organised. The information involved tends to be sensitive. To prevent unauthorised persons from accessing it, it is disseminated using a secure channel or protected files. a.s.r.’s information security policy contains guidelines in this respect. a.s.r.’s information security policy is based on relevant laws and market standards, like ISO 2700x, COBIT 2019, NIST Cybersecurity framework, SOC2 principles, PCI DSS, COSO, BS 25999, ISO 31000, ITIL. These standards describes best practices for the implementation of information security. For the Digital Operational Resilience Act (hereafter: DORA), important changes in 2024 per DORA pillar are: • ICT Risk Management: a strengthened, centralised, and top-down approach has been adopted through an IT Risk Framework for ICT governance and risk management. Best practice controls are now mandatory and implemented via comply-or-explain principles. • Incident Management: IT incident monitoring has been intensified with a new process to promptly notify and report major DORA incidents to regulators. There is now more focus on business continuity rather than solely IT continuity. • Digital Resilience: focus on the critical and important business functions, with controls formalised or adjusted as necessary to comply with DORA. • Management of Third-Party Risk: concentration risks and critical suppliers have been identified. Reporting has been improved, and a processing register along with mandatory reporting templates have 287 been implemented. Where necessary, contracts with third-party suppliers have been revised.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 118 • ICT Information Sharing: information exchange between a.s.r., other financial institutions, and regulators has been improved, with active contributions to collaborations. From 2025, a.s.r. meets the DORA regulations, and DORA will be part of a.s.r.’s information security policy. There are technical solutions for accomplishing this, by enforcing a layered approach (defence-in-depth) of technical measures to avoid unauthorised persons to compromise a.s.r. data and systems. In this perspective, one may think of methods of logical access management, intrusion detection techniques, in combination with firewalls are aimed at preventing hackers and other unauthorised persons from accessing information stored on a.s.r. systems. Nevertheless, confidential information can also have been committed to paper. On top of technical measures a.s.r. implemented physical measures and measures that help create the desired level of awareness of personnel as part of the information security environment. The resilience of these measures is actively tested. When user defined models (e.g. spreadsheets) are used for supporting the RM framework, the ‘a.s.r. Standard for End user computing’ defines and describes best practices in order to guard the reliability and confidentiality of these tools and models. a.s.r. recognises the importance of sound data quality and information management systems. The management of IT and data risks of the implemented tools, models and systems (including data) is part of the Operational (IT) RM. 7.8.1.1.4 Risk policies and procedures a.s.r. has established guidelines, including policies that cover all main risk categories (market, counterparty default, liquidity, underwriting, strategic and operational). These policies address the accountabilities and responsibilities regarding management of the different risk types. Furthermore, the methodology for risk measurement is included in the policies. The content of the policies is aligned to create a consistent and complete set. GRM maintains the risk policies, Compliance maintains the compliance policies and both GRM and Compliance monitor the proper implementation in the business. New risk policies or updates of existing risk policies are approved by the risk committees as mentioned previously. a.s.r. has drawn up an integrated policy calendar which includes all risk related documents. This guarantees that policies are drawn up and reassessed in a timely manner and that tasks and responsibilities are clear. a.s.r. employees gain risk management knowledge and skills through the implementation of risk management policies, procedures and practices and the execution and testing of controls within business processes for sound and controlled business operations. Training courses that cover the main risk-related topics, presentations, workshops, gamification and the use of governance, risk & compliance tooling also contribute to this. Courses include, for example, sustainability risk specifically ESG factors to better understand and identify material risks. In addition, risk management employees keep their knowledge and skills up to date through training courses—including in the context of permanent education—that cover specific risk-related topics. 7.8.1.1.5 Risk culture Risk awareness is a vital component of building a sound risk culture within a.s.r. that emphasises the human aspect in the 879241 management -001 of risks -Part . In addition -2 to gaining sufficient 28Mar25 knowledge, 13:48 skills, capabilities and experience in RM, it is essential that an organisation enables objective and transparent risk reporting in order to manage them more effectively. The MB clearly recognises the importance of RM and is therefore represented in all of the major group level risk committees. Risk Management is involved in the strategic decision-making process, where the company’s risk appetite is always considered. The awareness of risks during decision-making is continually addressed when making business decisions, for example by discussing and reviewing risk scenarios and the positive and / or negative impact of risks before finalising decisions. It is very important that this risk awareness trickles down to all parts of the organisation, and therefore management actively encourages personnel to be aware of risks during their tasks and projects, in order to avoid risks or mitigate them when required. The execution of risk analyses is embedded in daily business in, for example, projects, product design and outsourcing. In doing so, a.s.r. aims to create a solid risk culture in which ethical values, desired behaviours and understanding of risk in the entity are fully embedded. Integrity is of the utmost importance at a.s.r.: this is translated into a code of conduct and strict application policies for new and existing personnel, such as taking an oath or solemn affirmation when entering the company, and the ‘fit and proper’ aspect of the Solvency II regulation, ensuring that a.s.r. is overseen and managed in a professional manner. Furthermore, a.s.r. believes it is important that a culture is created in which risks can be discussed openly and where risks are not merely perceived to be negative and highlight that risks can also present a.s.r. with opportunities. Risk Management (both centralised and decentralised) and Compliance are positioned as such, that they can communicate and report on risks independently and transparently, which also contributes to creating a proper risk culture. 7.8.1.1.6 Risk management process The RM process typically comprises of five important steps: 1) identifying; 2) measuring; 3) managing; 4) monitoring and reporting; and 5) evaluating. a.s.r. has defined a procedure for performing risk analyses and standards for specific assessments. The five different steps are explained in this chapter. Identifying Management should endeavour to identify all possible risks that may impact the strategic, tactical and operational objectives of a.s.r., ranging from the larger and / or more significant risks posed on the overall business, down to the smaller risks associated with individual projects or smaller business lines. Risk identification comprises of the process of identifying and describing risk sources, events, and the causes and effects of those events. Measuring After risks have been identified, quantitative or qualitative assessments of these risks take place to estimate the likelihood and impact associated with them. Methods applicable to the assessment of risks are: • Sensitivity analysis • Stress testing • 288 Scenario analysis • Expert judgments (regarding likelihood and impact) Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 119 • Portfolio analysis Managing Typically, there are four strategies to managing risk: • Accept: risk acceptance means accepting that a risk might have consequences, without taking any further mitigating measures. • Avoid: risk avoidance is the elimination of activities that cause the risk. • Transfer: risk transference is transferring the impact of the risk to a third party. • Mitigate: risk mitigation involves the mitigation of the risk likelihood and / or impact. RM strategies are chosen in a way that ensures that a.s.r. remains within the risk appetite tolerance levels and limits. Monitoring and reporting The risk identification process is not a continuous exercise. Therefore, risk monitoring and reporting are required to capture changes in environments and conditions. This also means that RM strategies could, or perhaps should, be adapted in accordance with risk appetite tolerance levels and limits. Evaluating The evaluation step is twofold. On the one hand, evaluation means risk exposures are evaluated against risk appetite tolerance levels and limits, taking (the effectiveness of) existing mitigation measures into account. The outcome of the evaluation could lead to a decision regarding further mitigating measures or changes in RM strategies. On the other hand, the RM framework (including the risk management processes) is evaluated by the RM function, in order to continuously improve the effectiveness of the RM framework as a whole. 7.8.1.2 a.s.r.’s risk categories a.s.r. is exposed to a variety of risks. Aegon life and Aegon spaarkas use a PIM to calculate the solvency position. a.s.r. is currently in the process of expanding the PIM to a.s.r. life. In 2024, the Internal Model Approval Process (IMAP) for a.s.r. life has started. The project aims to implement the expanded model for FY 2025, subject successful completion of the project and approval by DNB. Introduction of PIM to a.s.r. life results in a positive outlook for FY 2025. As a result of PIM, the risk universe of Aegon life and Aegon spaarkas is therefore different and captures all material risks that the company is exposed to. The emerging risk process ensures that the risk universe will remain up to date. An overview of Aegon life and Aegon spaarkas risk universe is provided in the following graph.

The most important risks from the risk universe for the PIM entities are explained within these six risk categories used for the Solvency II Standard Formula (SF). In addition, a.s.r. recognises sustainability risks arising from environmental, social or governance (ESG) events or conditions. These risks can be financial and non-financial and can be both strategic and operational. This means that all six main risk categories that a.s.r. recognises can be affected by sustainability risks. In chapter 6 of the annual report and in the paragraph climate change, a.s.r. briefly describes how a.s.r. identifies, measures and manages climate risks and opportunities for its business. a.s.r. is working on integrating the different risk categories into a single overarching risk taxonomy. This harmonised overarching taxonomy will consist of both the Solvency II SF risk categories and the risk categories from the PIM and is expected to be implemented in 2025. Insurance risk Insurance risk is the risk that premium and / or investment income or outstanding reserves will not be sufficient to cover current or future payment obligations, due to the application of inaccurate technical or other assumptions and principles when developing and pricing products. a.s.r. recognises the following insurance risks: • Life insurance risk • Health insurance risk • Non-life insurance risk Market risk The risk of changes in values caused by market prices or volatility of market prices differing from their expected values. The following types of market risk are distinguished: • Interest rate risk • Equity risk • Property risk • 289 Spread risk • Currency risk Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 121 7.8.2 Insurance risk Insurance risk is the risk that future insurance claims and benefits cannot be covered by premium and / or investment income, or that insurance liabilities are not sufficient, because future expenses, claims and benefits differ from the assumptions used in determining the best estimate liability. Insurance risk manifests itself in both the Non-life and the Life portfolio. The Non-life portfolio covers the property and casualty, disability and healthcare sectors. The Life portfolio consists of individual life and funeral and pensions business. Risk-mitigating measures are used to reduce and contain the volatility of results or to decrease the possible negative impact 879241 on value -001 as an -alternative Part-2 for the capital requirement 28Mar25 . Proper 13:48 pricing, underwriting, reinsurance, claims management, and diversification are the main risk mitigating actions for insurance risks. By offering a range of different insurance products, with various product benefits and contract lengths, and across Life, Disability and Health and P&C insurance risk, a.s.r. reduces the likelihood that a single risk event will have a material impact on a.s.r.’s financial condition. The solvency buffer is held by a.s.r. to cover the risk that claims may exceed the available insurance provisions and to ensure its solidity. The solvency position of a.s.r. is determined and continuously monitored in order to assess if a.s.r. meets the regulatory requirements. Aegon life and Aegon spaarkas use a Partial Internal Model (PIM) to calculate the solvency position. The PIM contains Internal Models for (i) mortality risk and (ii) longevity risk. For the other risks, the Solvency II standard formula is applied. a.s.r. life, a.s.r. non-life and a.s.r. health use the Solvency II standard formula (SF) to calculate the solvency position. The Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) for each insurance risk is determined as the change in own funds caused by a predetermined shock which is calibrated to a 1-in-200-year event. The basis for these calculations are the Solvency II technical provisions which are calculated as the sum of a best estimate and a risk margin. The insurance risk arising from the insurance portfolios of a.s.r. is as follows: Insurance risk—required capital 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 (in € million) Total IM Total IM Life insurance risk 2,757 1,039 2,820 1,013 Health insurance risk 1,572—1,508 -Non-life insurance risk 745—706—Total excluding diversification between insurance risks 5,074 1,039 5,034 1,013 The Life insurance risk decreased meanly as a result of non-economic assumption changes and portfolio developments. The Health and Non life insurance risk increased as a result of the growth of the sum insured. Solvency II sensitivities a.s.r. has assessed the impact of various sensitivities on the solvency ratio. The sensitivities as at 31 December 2024 and 2023, expressed as impact on the group solvency ratio (in percentage points) are as follows: 291 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

Mortality risk Measured as the impact of a 5% decrease in all mortality rates. Lapse risk Measured as the risk of a 10% decrease in lapse rates. The table shows that the SCR sensitivities in 2024 are (almost) similar to the sensitivities of 2023. The impact on the ratio is the opposite if a reversed scenario is taken into account. 7.8.2.1 Life Insurance risk The Life portfolio can be divided into Individual life and Funeral and Pensions. The insurance contracts are sold primarily to retail and wholesale clients through intermediaries. The products are sold as insurance products in cash or unit-linked contracts. With respect to products in cash, the investment risk is fully borne by the insurer whereas, in the case of unit-linked products, the majority of the investment risk is for the policyholder’s account. The solvency capital requirement (SCR) for Life insurance risks is determined per policy for the Funeral and Life portfolio and per participant for the Pension portfolio. All shocks are applied to each policy/participant and an SCR value is only determined if applying the shock leads to a higher best estimate. The following Life insurance risks are involved: Mortality risk Mortality risk is associated with (re)insurance obligations, such as endowment or term assurance policies, where a payment or payments are made in case of the policyholder’s death during the contract term. The required capital for this risk under SF is calculated as the change in own funds of a permanent increase of mortality rates by 15% for all ages and each policy. For Aegon life and Aegon spaarkas an Internal Model is used to calculate the risk factor. This contains shocks on both the level (experience) and the trend (population) of the mortality table. It projects mortality rates by age and gender. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Longevity risk Longevity risk is associated with (re)insurance obligations where payments are made until the death of the policyholder and where a decrease in mortality rates results in higher technical provisions. The required capital for this risk under SF is calculated as the change in own funds of a permanent decrease of mortality rates by 20%. For Aegon life and Aegon spaarkas an Internal Model is used to calculate the risk factor. This contains shocks on both the level (experience) and the trend (population) of the mortality table. It projects mortality rates by age and gender. Disability-morbidity risk Morbidity or disability risk is associated with all types of insurance compensating or reimbursing losses (e.g. loss of income, adverse changes in the best estimate of the liabilities) caused by changes in the morbidity or disability rates. Solvency II prescribes a 35% increase in disability rates for the first year, 25% for subsequent years, combined with a decrease in recovery rates of 20%. The disability-morbidity risk is calculated on policy level by increasing the experience percentage with 35% for the first year and 25% in the second. For the IBNR reserve the shock is simplified to an average of 30% for the 2-year IBNR cashflow. Because revalidation risk is very small, no shock is modelled for this risk. Lapse risk Lapse risk is the risk of losses (or adverse changes in the best estimate of the liabilities) due to an unanticipated (higher or lower) rate of policy lapses, terminations, changes to paid-up status (cessation of premium payment) and surrenders. Lapse risk arises from economic losses due to policyholder behaviour deviating from expectations. Insurance contracts typically provide policyholders with a variety of options that they may or may not exercise. Lapse risk is the risk that actual policyholder behaviour deviates from the assumptions built into the reserve calculations. This includes assumptions about lapses, withdrawals, premium payment levels, allocation of funds, and the utilisation of possible options in the products. In general, a lapse shock is only applied if a Solvency II lapse event is actually considered possible under the conditions of the insurance contract. For instance a paid-up policy that cannot be surrendered is not taken into account. The effect of the lapse risk is equal to the highest result of a permanent increase in lapse rates of 50%, a permanent decrease in lapse rates of 50% or a mass lapse event (an instant lapse event of 40% of all policies). For the mass lapse event, the lapse risk is calculated as the maximum on policy level of a mass surrender or a mass paid-up event. Within the Individual life portfolio there is a group of policies directly linked to a mortgage loan (‘Spaarhypotheken’). In case the mortgage loan is not provided by a.s.r., but by another party, which is the case for most of these policies, the interest that a.s.r. reimburses to the policyholder is claimed from the party that has provided the mortgage loan. This cashflow of interests from the provider of the mortgage loan to a.s.r. represents an asset. The cashflow and value of this asset depends on the cashflow of the linked savings policy. Therefore, the change in this asset value due to mortality or lapse is taken into account when determining 292 the SCR for Life insurance risks.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 123 Prepayment risk on mortgages constitutes an important component of lapse risk; it is the risk of higher or lower prepayments that anticipated, including early redemption rates, thus impacting the value of the mortgage portfolio. Mortgage prepayment risk is divided into two categories: parameter risk (lapse persistency mortgages), which describes financial losses due to adverse misestimation of best estimate prepayment parameter, and contagion risk (lapse contagion liabilities), which describes financial losses due to contagion events causing temporary adverse deviations from best estimate prepayment behaviour. Expense risk A calculation is made of the effect on own funds of a permanent increase in costs used for determining the best estimate. It consists of an increase in the costs of 10% and an increase in the cost inflation of 1 percentage point per year. For investment costs only an increase of 10% applies, since it has been substantiated that increases due to inflation including a shock can be absorbed by the Best Estimate itself and asset management for external parties. Life catastrophe risk Catastrophe risk arises from extreme events which are not captured in the other Life insurance risks, such as pandemics. The capital requirement for this risk is calculated as a 1.5 per mille increase in mortality rates in the first projected year for (re)insurance obligations where the increase in mortality rates leads to an increase in technical provisions. Employee benefits a.s.r. has a number of defined benefit plans for own staff in place. These are schemes, under which staff are awarded pension benefits upon retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as years of service and salary. The defined benefit obligation is calculated by independent actuaries at each reporting date. Due to the acquisition of Aegon NL the ended defined benefit plan for own staff of Aegon NL was added to the defined benefit obligation per 2023. Pension obligations are calculated using the projected unit credit method. Inherent to this method is the application of actuarial assumptions to discount rates, mortality rates and consumer price indices. The assumptions are reviewed and updated at each reporting date based on available (market) data. The discount rate (31 December 2024: 3.51%) is based on the return (zero coupon rate) of high-quality corporate bonds (AA rating) and the cash flow pattern of the pension obligation. For SCR purposes, the IFRS value of the own pension contract is based on the IAS19 valuation methodology. The explanatory guidelines explain that the IAS19 valuation is consistent with Solvency II. As of 1 January 2021 a defined contribution plan is in place. The accrued pensions (until 1 January 2021) will remain guaranteed at a.s.r. life and are not transferred to the defined contribution plan. The former employees of Aegon NL were added to the defined contribution plan as of 1 October 2023. Other information Within a.s.r. life the longevity risk is dominant and arises from group pension business and individual annuities. The longevity risk is partly offset by mortality risk that arises from the funeral portfolio and individual879241 policies with—mortality 001-.Part The other -2 main risks a.s.r. life 28Mar25 is exposed to are 13:48 expense risk and lapse risk. The table summarises the required capital for abovementioned life insurance risks based on the standard model after application of Loss Absorbing Capacity of Technical Provisions (LAC TP). The impact of LAC TP increased in 2024 to € 165 million (2023: € 156 million).

This was mainly caused by the development of economic parameters, which has an upward effect on the BEL of the traditional portfolio, however the growth in the unit linked portfolio is dominant. The risk margin decreased in 2024 with € 111 million, mainly due to change in the non-economic assumptions for death rates and expenses. 7.8.2.1.1 Managing Life insurance risk Life insurance risk is mitigated by pricing, underwriting policies and reinsurance. Pricing is based on profit capacity calculations. A calculation is made of the price required to cover the insurance liabilities, expenses and risks. Underwriting policies describe the types of risks and the extent of risk a.s.r. is willing to accept. Policyholders may be subjected to medical screening for both Individual life and Funeral insurance. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Reinsurance Reinsurance and other risk-mitigating measures are used to reduce the volatility of results or to decrease the possible negative impact on value as an alternative to the capital requirement. Reinsurance arrangements have been set up to mitigate the effects of catastrophes on earnings. The level of retention in different reinsurance contracts is aligned with the size and the risk profile of the underlying portfolios. This includes taking account of the cost of reinsurance on the one hand, and the risk that is retained on the other. In order to optimise its balance sheet risks, a.s.r. entered into a reinsurance agreement with Legal and General Re in 2015. The share of Legal and General Re is on behalf of a specific buy-out portfolio. The total share of the reinsurances for a.s.r. amounts to € 114 million per 31 December 2024. Per 31 December 2019, Aegon life entered into an indemnity swap, Sunrise, with Canada Life Reinsurance. The underlying portfolio corresponded to around € 7.5 billion of liabilities. Per 31 December 2021, Aegon life entered into a new indemnity swap, Solaris, external party is Reinsurance Group of America. The underlying portfolio amounts to approximately € 5 billion. Both agreements cover the longevity risk associated with Aegon’s policyholders, including deferred pensioners and in-payment policies of pensioners and dependents during the full run-off of these policies. Both agreements are collateralised to mitigate any potential counterparty risk and the agreements have no impact on the services and guarantees that Aegon provides to its policyholders. At year-end 2024 € 332 million (market value € 358 million) has been posted as collateral with respect to the longevity reinsurance contract with Canada Life Reinsurance (2023: € 375 million collateral, market value € 334 million) and € 159 million (market value € 161 million) has been posted as collateral with respect to the longevity reinsurance contract with RGA (2023: € 200 million collateral, market value € 178 million). Together, these two agreements mitigate approximately 40% of the longevity risk exposure of Aegon life. As such, these agreements strongly reduce the concentration of Aegon’s risk exposure in longevity risk and help to diversify the risk profile of Aegon life. 7.8.2.2 Health insurance risk and Non-life insurance risk 7.8.2.2.1 Health insurance risk The Health insurance portfolio of a.s.r. is diverse. The portfolio can be divided into two main product types: • SLT Health portfolio (Similar to Life Techniques) Income Protection, which can be divided into:—Individual Disability (Zelfstandigen)—Group Disability (WIA)—Premium waiver in case of disability (PVI) • NSLT Health portfolio (Not Similar to Life Techniques), which can be divided into:—Income Protection (Sickness, and Individual and Group Accident)—Medical Expenses (Basic and Supplementary) The insurance contracts are sold primarily to retail and wholesale clients through intermediaries. 294 The Health insurance portfolio of a.s.r. contains the following insurance risks: Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 125 • SLT Health risk—This risk is applicable to the SLT Health portfolio. The calculation is scenario-based, according to the standard formula. • NSLT Health risk—This risk is applicable to the NSLT Health portfolio. The calculation is factor-based. The risk is calculated similarly to the Non-life insurance risk. • Health Catastrophe risk—This risk is applicable to the entire Health portfolio. The calculation is scenario-based. SLT Health Risk Mortality risk Mortality risk is associated with (re)insurance obligations where payments are made upon the death of the policyholder and where an increase in mortality rates results in higher technical provisions. The required capital is calculated as the change in own funds of a permanent 15% increase in mortality rates. The increase in mortality rates is applied to portfolios where payments are contingent on mortality risk. The increase in mortality rates leads to an increase of the own funds. Therefore the mortality risk is zero for the Health portfolio. Longevity risk Longevity risk is associated with (re)insurance obligations where payments are made until the death of the policyholder and where a decrease in mortality rates results in higher technical provisions. The required capital is calculated as the change in own funds of a permanent 20% decrease in mortality rates. The decrease in mortality rates is applied to portfolios where payments are contingent on longevity risk. Disability-morbidity risk Morbidity or disability risk is the main risk to the SLT Health portfolio. The scenario analysis consists of a 35% increase in disability rates for the first year, 25% for subsequent years, combined with a decrease in revalidation rates of 20%. Expense risk A calculation is made of the effect of a permanent increase in costs, which is used for determining the best estimate. The scenario analysis contains an increase in the costs of 10% and an increase in the cost inflation of 1 percentage point per year. Revision risk The revision risk is the risk that a higher benefit is caused by either inflation or a revision of the disability percentage. Benefits that are sensitive to inflation and / or an increase in the disability percentage will be increased by 4%. Lapse risk Lapse risk is the risk of losses (or adverse changes in the best estimate of the liabilities) due to an unanticipated (higher or lower) rate of policy lapses, terminations, changes to paid-up status (cessation of premium payment) and surrenders. The effect of the lapse risk is equal to the highest result of a permanent 50% increase 879241 in lapse rates, -001 a permanent -Part- 2 50% decrease in lapse 28Mar25 rates or a mass 13:48 lapse event (40% mass lapse). For the SLT Health portfolio, the mass lapse event is dominant. Future management action According to the insurance conditions, a.s.r. non-life has the ability to adjust the premiums and insurance conditions group wise in the future for the disability portfolio. Therefore, the contract boundary of the disability contracts without an individual risk assessment at acceptance is equal to the contract term. For contracts with an individual risk assessment at acceptance, the contract boundary is equal to the end age, because the contracts will be tacitly renewed until the end age is reached, without repeating the risk assessment. These contracts with an individual risk assessment involve the Individual Self-employed and the Individual Employees portfolio’s. For these portfolio’s, a.s.r. non-life applies a future management action (FMA), as noted in article 23 of the Delegated Acts. The trigger, as defined in the FMA, is hit in the Income Protection Disability-Morbidity Risk (article 156 DA) scenario. For a number of Loyalis products within the group disability portfolio, it is determined annually whether the insured amounts are indexed. For the majority of the portfolio, there is a conditional indexation based on a (discretionary) management decision, based among other things on interest result. In a financially unfavourable year, there is the possibility of not paying out indexation, which is a FMA as noted in article 23 of the Delegated Acts. NSLT Health Risk NSLT Premium and reserve risk The premium risk is the risk that the premium is not adequate for the underwritten risk. The premium risk is calculated over the maximum of the expected earned premium of the next year, and the earned premium of the current year. The reserve risk is the risk that the current reserves are insufficient to cover their run-off over a 12 month time horizon. The NSLT Premium and reserve risk can be split into the following insurance risks: • Medical Expense—The premium risk is the risk that the premium is not adequate for the underwritten risk. The premium risk is calculated over the maximum of the expected earned premium of the next year, and the earned premium of the current year. Reserve risk is the risk that the current reserves are insufficient to cover the claims over a 12-month time horizon. • Income Protection—This component is calculated for policies for which an increase in mortality rates or morbidity rates or disability rates leads to an increase in the best estimate. There are three scenarios, which are calculated for all NSLT Health and portfolios. NSLT lapse risk The basic and additional health insurance are compulsory insurance contracts for one year without intermediate possibility of termination and therefore lapse risk is negligible for the basic health insurance. Health catastrophe risk Medical Expense A health catastrophe for the NSLT Health portfolio is an unexpected future event with a duration of one year 295 . The risk is determined ultimo year.

The catastrophe risk has a projection of one year (T) following from the contract boundary of one year in accordance with the Dutch Health Insurance Act. After year T the risk is ‘zero’. Catastrophe risk for a.s.r. health supplementary equals zero because these contracts have a maximum compensation for claims. Income Protection Mass accident scenario In this scenario, an accident takes place during a major public event. The risk is that 10% of the attendees are killed, 3.5% are permanently disabled, 16.5% are disabled for 12 months and 30% need medical attention. Income Protection Accident concentration scenario In this scenario, an accident takes place on site, with the most of our insured at the same location. The risk is that 10% of those present are killed, 3.5% are permanently disabled, 16.5% are disabled for 12 months and 30% need medical attention.

The premium- and reserve risk is the risk that the premium respectively the reserve is not adequate for the underwritten risk. The reserve risk is associated with historical years, and the premium risk is associated with the future year(s). The premium risk is calculated over the maximum of the expected earned premium for the next year and the earned premium for the current year. For the calculation of the premium- and reserve risk, several input data and parameters are necessary, as described in the standard model. The geographical spread, when a (re)insurer underwrites products in different countries, is not relevant for a.s.r. non-life as there is no material exposure outside the Netherlands. Non-life Catastrophe Risk Module Catastrophe risk is defined as the risk of loss or adverse change in the value of insurance liabilities, resulting from significant uncertainty of pricing and provisioning assumptions related to extreme or exceptional events. The Non-life SCR Catastrophic Risk Module used, consists of natural catastrophe risk (Windstorm and Hail), man-made catastrophe risk (Fire, Motor and Liability) and other Non-life catastrophe risk. The Non-life Catastrophe Risk Module is derived at the level of a legal entity based on the standard model. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 Lapse risk The lapse risk is the loss in basic own funds caused by the discontinuance of 40% of the policies for which discontinuation would result in an increase of technical provisions (without the risk margin). The calculation is based on the type of discontinuance which most negatively affects the basic own funds, which is for Non-life immediately termination of the policy.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 128 In recent years, measures have been taken to improve profitability and reduce risk. Examples are: premium increases, stricter acceptance criteria, shorter claims filing terms and making use of the claims reassessment arrangement between the Dutch Association of insurers and social security institute UWV. Effects are being monitored closely and assessed to be effective. Claims frequency, size of claim and inflation To mitigate the risk of claims, a.s.r. bases its underwriting policy on claims history and risk models. The policy is applied to each client segment and to each type of activity. In order to limit claims and / or ensure that prices are adjusted correctly, the acceptance policy is continually refined using a number of indicators and statistical analyses. The product lines also use knowledge or expectations with respect to future trends to estimate the frequency, size and inflation of claims. The risk of unexpected major damage claims is contained by policy limits, the concentration of risk management and specific risk transfer contracts (e.g. reinsurance). Handling time The time required for handling and settling claims is an important factor. The settlement of claims that have a long handling time, such as liability claims, can take many years. Analyses are performed regularly and based on a.s.r.’s experience in similar cases, historical trends – such as the pattern of liabilities – increases in risk exposure, payment of damages, the scale of current and not yet settled damage claims, court rulings and economic conditions. Benefit and claims handling costs Taking estimated future inflation into account, benefit and claims handling costs are managed based on regular reviews and related actions. Disability risk Disability risk is controlled by means of regular evaluation of historical claims patterns, expected future developments and price adjustments. Disability risk is mitigated by a.s.r. through underwriting criteria and a proactive reintegration policy. a.s.r. non-life ended the mitigation of its disability risk through reinsurance in 2023. The Individual Health SLT portfolio and a small part (Aegon) of the Group Health SLT portfolio is reinsured by a reinsurance contract. For the a.s.r. part of the portfolio this consists of inactive contracts only, for the Aegon part there is one remaining contract active until 1 January 2026. The reinsuring cash flows concern existing claims and are calculated separately in the cash flows models. Concentration risk Geographically, the risk exposure of a.s.r. on its health and Non-life portfolio is almost entirely concentrated in the Netherlands. Concentration of insurance risks is particularly prevalent in the fire risk portfolio (i.e. home and content, with storm and flood risk forming the most important factor). Storm and flood risk is managed by means of suitable reinsurance (see also ‘Reinsurance’). There is also a concentration of risk in group disability schemes. Group disability contracts are underwritten within the scope of disability cover for employees in the Netherlands (WIA). Reinsurance When deemed effective in terms of capital relief versus costs incurred, a.s.r. enters into reinsurance agreements to mitigate Non-life insurance risks. Reinsurance can be taken out for each separate claim (per risk), for the accumulation of claims due to natural disasters or to human actions (per event), or for both these risks. The level of retention in the various reinsurance contracts is aligned with the size and the risk profile of the underlying portfolios, taking into account of the cost of reinsurance on the one hand, and the risk that is retained on the other. 7.8.3 Market risk Market risk is the risk of potential losses due to adverse movements in financial market variables. Exposure to market risk is measured by the impact of movements in financial variables such as equity prices, interest rates and property prices. The various types of market risk which are discussed in this section, are: • interest rate risk (including interest rate volatility risk) • equity risk (including equity volatility risk) • property risk • currency risk • spread risk • concentration risk Aegon life and Aegon Spaarkas use a PIM to calculate the market risks. The PIM contains separate modules for (i) interest rate risk, (ii) equity risk, (iii) property risk and (iv) spread risk. For the other risks, the Solvency II SF is applied. a.s.r. life, a.s.r. non-life and a.s.r. health use the Solvency II SF to calculate the solvency position. The total market risk is therefore the sum of the SF and IM. The table below summarises the required capital for market risks based on the SF and IM and including Deterministic Adjustment (DA).

This is in line with the risk budgets based on the strategic asset allocation study. The total market risk amounted to € 5,452 million per year-end 2024 (2023: € 4,803 million). This increase is mainly the result of the increase of the equity portfolio, due to positive returns on equity markets and transactions. The total market risk of € 5,452 million can be split into a SF component of € 3,485 million (2023: € 3,086 million) and an IM component of € 1,966 million (2023: € 1,716 million). a.s.r. accepts and manages market risk for the benefit of its customers and other stakeholders. a.s.r.’s risk management and control systems are designed to ensure that these market risks are managed effectively and efficiently, aligned with the risk appetite for the different types of market risks. Market risk reports are submitted to FRC at least once a month. In these reports different types of market risks are monitored and tested against the limits according to the financial risk policies. The value of investment funds at year-end 2024 was € 10,755 million (2023: € 8,250 million). a.s.r. applies the look through approach for investment funds to assess the market risk. As part of PIM the DA is identified for Aegon life to mitigate volatility caused by the basis risk between (i) the EIOPA VA reference portfolio and (ii) the asset portfolio of Aegon life. The value of the DA at year-end 2024 was € -148 million (2023: € 88 million). Note that the DA is not included in the required capital for market risks when determining the diversification between risks. In the presented figures the DA is excluded in the market risk. Including DA the market risk for 2024 amounted to € 5,304 million. The diversification effect shows the effect of having a well-diversified investment portfolio. Solvency II sensitivities The Solvency II SCR is a Value at Risk-measure. Therefore, Solvency II ratio sensitivities are disclosed as the alternative analysis, instead of IFRS sensitivities, as permitted by IFRS. The sensitivities of the solvency ratio as at 31 December 2024, expressed as the impact on the group solvency ratio (in percentage points) are as presented in the table below.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 130 Solvency II sensitivities—explanation Risk Scenario Interest rate risk—UFR 3.2% Measured as the impact of a lower UFR. For the valuation of liabilities, the extrapolation to the UFR of 3.2% after the last liquid point of 20 years remained unchanged. The impact on available capital, required capital and ratio relates to a comparison with a solvency ratio measured at a UFR=3.30% for 2024 (UFR=3.45% for 2023). Interest rate risk (incl. Measured as the impact of a parallel 0.5% upward and downward movement of UFR=3.30% / 3.45%) the interest rates. For the liabilities, the extrapolation to the UFR (UFR=3.30% for 2024 and UFR=3.45% for 2023) after the last liquid point of 20 years remained unchanged. Interest steepening Measured as the impact of a linear steepening of the interest rate curve between 20Y and 30Y of 1 bps to 10 bps. Volatility Adjustment Measured as the impact of a 10 bps decrease in the Volatility Adjustment. Government spread Measured as the impact of an increase of spread on Government bonds of 50 bps. At the same it is assumed that the Volatility Adjustment will increase by +8bp (2023: +10bp). Mortgage spread Measured as the impact of a 50 bps increase of spreads on mortgages. Equity risk Measured as the impact of a 20% downward movement in equity prices. Property risk Measured as the impact of a 10% downward movement in the market value of real estate. Spread risk (including impact of Measured as the impact of an increase of spread on loans and corporate bonds spread movement on VA) of 75 bps. At the same time, it is assumed that the Volatility Adjustment will increase by +19bp (2023: +17bp) based on reference portfolio. Inflation risk Measured as the impact of a 30 bps parallel increase of the inflation rates (EUSWI-curve). The extrapolation of the UFI remains unchanged. 7.8.3.1 Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of assets or liabilities will change due to fluctuations in interest rates. a.s.r. is exposed to interest rate risk, as both its assets and liabilities are sensitive to movements in long- and short-term interest rates. Insurance products are exposed to interest rate risk. Especially the life insurance products are long-term and therefore particularly sensitive to interest rate risk. The interest rate risk of insurance products depends, besides the term to maturity, on interest rate guarantees and profit-sharing features. Interest rate risk is managed by aligning fixed-income investments to the profile of the liabilities. Among other instruments, swaptions and interest rate swaps are used for hedging the specific interest rate risk arising from interest rate guarantees and profit sharing features in life insurance products. An interest rate risk policy is in place for a.s.r. as well as for the registered insurance companies. Interest rate risk reports are submitted to the FRC at least once a month. In these reports the interest rate risk is monitored and tested against the limits according to the financial risk policies. The required capital for interest rate risk is determined by calculating the impact on the available capital due to changes in the yield curve. The Solvency II SF interest rate risk is the maximum loss of (i) an upward shock and (ii) a downward shock of the yield curve. • The used shocks vary by maturity and the absolute shocks are higher for shorter maturities (descending: 75% to 20% and ascending: -70% to -20%): • The yield curve up shock contains a minimum shock of 100bps; • The yield curve down shock is zero in case the yield curve is negative; • The yield curves of all currencies are shocked simultaneously. • All adjustments (credit spread, volatility adjustment) on the yield curve are considered constant. • The yield curve is extrapolated to the UFR. The yield curve after shock is not extrapolated again to the UFR. The Solvency II IM for interest rate risks differ from the standard formula results for the following reasons: • The Solvency II PIM interest rate curve shocks are calibrated based on historical market data; • The Solvency II PIM assumes that the UFR does not change in a shock scenario, while the standard formula interest rate shock assumes that the whole curve moves, including the UFR; • In addition, the Solvency II PIM includes a capital requirement for interest rate volatility risk. This is defined as the risk of adverse financial impacts due to the difference in interest rate volatility sensitivity between assets and liabilities. a.s.r. has assessed various scenarios to determine the sensitivity to interest rate risk. The impact on the solvency ratio is calculated by determining the difference in the change in available and required capital and include financial institutions.

Exposure to equity markets exists in both assets and liabilities. Asset exposure exists through direct equity investments. In order to maintain a good understanding of the actual equity risk, a.s.r. applies the look-through approach for investment funds to assess the equity risk. The equity risk of insurance products depends on guarantees, profit-sharing features and fees charged to ‘gesepareerde beleggingdepot’ (GB) clients. The Solvency II SF equity risk is determined by calculating the impact on the available capital due to an immediate drop in equity prices. • Equities listed in regulated markets in countries in the EEA or OECD are shocked by 39% together with the symmetric adjustment (type I). • Equities in countries that are not members of the EEA or OECD, unlisted equities, alternative investments, or investment funds in which the look-through principle is not possible, are shocked by 49% together with the symmetric adjustment (type II). • Investments of a strategic nature are shocked by 22%. • The equity capital of the renewable investments qualifying as an infrastructure investment (e.g. wind farm Wieringermeer) is shocked by 30% together with the symmetric adjustment.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 132 7.8.3.3 Property risk The property risk takes into account the risk arising from the sensitivity of the values of assets, liabilities and financial instruments to changes in the level or in the volatility of market prices of real estate. The property risk depends on the total exposure to real estate. In order to maintain a good understanding of the actual property risk, a.s.r. applies the look through approach for investment funds and participations which activities are primarily real estate investments. The Solvency II SF property risk is determined by calculating the impact on the available capital due to an immediate drop in property prices by 25%. Both assets and liabilities are taken into account. The product Agrarische Impact Erfpacht (AIE) has effectively a lower charge due to the underlying risk mitigating characteristics of this product. The Solvency II IM for property risk includes an IM property shock on the real estate portfolio, calibrated on the portfolio itself as opposed to a 25% shock in the SF. The sensitivity of the solvency ratio to changes in property value is monitored on a monthly basis.

A currency risk policy is in place for a.s.r. as well as for the registered insurance companies. For different investment categories a.s.r. has defined a target hedge ratio. Currency risk reports are submitted to KLFC at least once a month. In these reports the currency risk is monitored and tested against the limits according to the financial risk policies. The required capital for currency risk is determined by calculating the impact on the available capital due to a change in exchange rates. Both assets and liabilities are taken into account and a look-through approach is applied for investment funds.

Going forward, the volatility in spreads will continue to have possible short-term effects on the market value of the fixed income portfolio. In the long run, the credit spreads are expected to be realised and contribute to the growth of the own funds. Exposure to spread risk exists in both assets and liabilities. Asset exposure exists mainly through fixed income investments and mortgages. In order to maintain a good understanding of the actual spread risk, a.s.r. applies the look-through approach for investment funds. The spread risk of insurance products depends on guarantees and profit-sharing features. The Solvency II SF spread risk is equal to the sum of the capital requirements for bonds, structured products and credit derivatives. Bonds and loans guaranteed by governments or international organisations could be in scope of counterparty default risk instead of spread risk. The capital requirement depends on (i) the market value, (ii) the modified duration and (iii) the credit quality category. The Solvency 879241 II PIM for -spread 001 risk -Part includes -2 an IM spread shock 28Mar25 which differs from 13:48 the standard formula: • Spread shocks are calibrated on the basis of Aegon life’s fixed income portfolio. • In contrast to the standard formula, government bonds are shocked with a factor larger than zero. • Mortgages are in scope of the spread risk module, while under the standard formula mortgages are in scope of counterparty default risk. Hence, as a result, the spread risk inherent in a.s.r.’s mortgage portfolio is partly included in this section and partly under counterparty default risk. In particular, the mortgage portfolios of Aegon life and Aegon spaarkas are included in this section since these entities use the Partial Internal Model (PIM), while the mortgage portfolios of a.s.r. life, a.s.r. non-life and a.s.r. health are included under counterparty default risk since these entities apply the Solvency II Standard Formula (SF). • Furthermore, the Solvency II PIM makes use of a dynamic volatility adjustment approach within Aegon life, while the standard formula does not. The Dynamic Volatility Adjustment (DVA) methodology follows an asset-only approach, ensuring spread widening is the biting scenario. • The performance of the fixed income portfolio is assessed under a broad range of credit scenarios and the model determines which part of the (short-term) losses experienced by the assets are recouped. The sensitivity to spread risk is measured as the impact of an increase of spread on loans and corporate bonds of 75 bps. The VA is based on a reference portfolio. An increase of 75 bps of the spreads on loans and corporate bonds within the reference portfolio leads to an increase of the VA with 19 bps in 2024 (2023: 17 bps). The credit spread sensitivity remained at +7 increase in solvency ratio for a 75 bps spread shock, combined with a 19 bps VA shock.

Where relevant, credit ratings provided by the external rating agencies are used to determine risk budgets and monitor limits. A limited number of fixed-income investments do not have an external rating. These investments are generally assigned an internal rating. Internal ratings are based on methodologies and rating classifications similar to those used by external agencies. The following tables provide a detailed breakdown of the fixed-income exposure by (i) rating class and (ii) sector. Assets in scope of spread risk are, by definition, not in scope of counterparty default risk. The total exposure of assets in scope of spread risk is € 54,693 million (2023: € 51,911 million).

Concentration risk is the concentration of exposures to the same counterparty. Other possible concentrations (region, country, etc.) are not in scope. The capital requirement for concentration risk is determined in three steps: 1. determine the exposure above threshold. The threshold depends on the credit quality of the counterparty; 2. calculation of the capital requirement for each counterparty, based on a specified factor depending on the credit quality; 3. aggregation of individual capital requirements for the various counterparties. According to the spread risk module, bonds and loans guaranteed by a certain government or international organisation are not in scope of concentration risk. Bank deposits can be excluded from concentration risk if they fulfil certain conditions. a.s.r. continuously monitors exposures in order to avoid concentrations in a single obligor outside of the risk appetite and has an overall limit on the total level of the required capital for market risk concentrations. The calculation of the market risk concentrations applies to the total investment portfolio, where, in line with Solvency II, government bonds are not included. The required capital for market risk concentrations is nil as per year-end 2024 (2023: nil). 7.8.4 Counterparty default risk Counterparty default risk reflects possible losses due to unexpected default or deterioration in the credit standing of counterparties and debtors. Counterparty default risk affects several types of assets: • mortgages • savings-linked mortgage loans • derivatives • reinsurance • receivables • cash and cash equivalents • expected credit loss Assets that are in scope of spread risk are, by definition, not in scope of counterparty default risk and vice versa. The Solvency II regime makes a distinction between two types of exposures: • Type 1: These counterparties generally have a rating (reinsurance, derivatives, current account balances, deposits with ceding companies and issued guarantee (letter of credit). The exposures are not diversified. • Type 2: These counterparties are normally unrated (receivables from intermediaries and policyholders, mortgages with private individuals or SMEs). The exposures are generally diversified. The total capital requirement for counterparty risk is an aggregation of the capital requirement for type 1 exposure 304 and the capital requirement for type 2 exposure by taking 75% correlation.

The counterparty risk type 1 is lower compared to previous year, mainly due to the decreased cash position. The counterparty risk type 2 was higher per year-end 2024, mainly due to the increase of the mortgage portfolio. 7.8.4.1 Mortgages Mortgages are granted for the account and risk of third parties and for a.s.r.’s own account. The a.s.r. portfolio consists only of Dutch mortgages with a limited counterparty default risk. The fair value of a.s.r.’s mortgage portfolio in scope of Counterparty default risk was € 11,846 million at year-end 2024 (2023: € 10,285 million1).

The percentage of mortgages which are in arrears for over three months remained stable at 0.04% in 2024 (2023: 0.04%). 7.8.4.2 Savings-linked mortgage loans The counterparty default risk of the savings-linked mortgage loans (‘Spaarlossen’) depends on the counterparty. For 9% of the portfolio, the counterparties are Special Purpose Vehicles. The risk is limited due to the robust quality of the mortgages in the Special Purpose Vehicles in combination with the tranching. a.s.r. has a cession-retrocession agreement with the counterparty for 88% of the portfolio, for which the risk is limited. Effectively, a.s.r. recognises the underlying receivable from the counterparty (or in the case of insolvency of the counterparty the mortgage loans transfers as collateral), mitigating the counterparty default risk of the savings-linked mortgage loans.

Interest-rate derivatives are traded with a well-diversified and qualitative dealer panel with whom there is an established International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) contract and a Credit Support Annex (CSA) in place. These CSAs include specific agreements on the exchange of collateral limiting market and counterparty risk. The outstanding value of the interest rate derivative positions is matched by collateral received from eligible counterparties, minimising the net counterparty default risk. In addition, a sizeable part of the interest-rate swap portfolio (and virtually all new interest rate swaps) are centrally cleared, which significantly reduces counterparty default risk.

Initially, a provision is required for credit losses expected within the next 12 879241 months. This -001 is referred -Part to as—‘Stage 2 1’. If there is28Mar25 a significant increase 13:48 in credit risk between the moment of origination and the reporting date, but the exposure is not in default, the exposure is in ‘Stage 2’. If the exposure is in default, this is referred to as ‘Stage 3’. For both ‘Stage 2’ and ‘Stage 3’, a provision is required for expected credit losses over the remaining lifetime of the financial asset. Expected credit loss measurement The impairment requirements outline a ‘three-stage’ model for impairment based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition as summarised below: 1. A financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified into ‘Stage 1’ and has its credit risk continuously monitored by a.s.r.: a) If a significant increase in credit risk (‘SICR’) since initial recognition is identified, the financial instrument is moved to ‘Stage 2’ but is not yet deemed to be credit impaired. b) If the financial instrument is credit-impaired, the financial instrument is then moved to ‘Stage 3’. 2. Financial instruments in Stage 1 have their ECL measured at a 12-month expected credit losses that result from default events possible within the next 12 months. 3. Financial instruments in Stages 2 or 3 have their ECL measured based on expected credit losses on a lifetime basis. ECL is measured on either a 12-month basis (Stage 1) or lifetime basis (Stages 2/3) depending on whether a significant increase in credit risk has occurred since initial recognition or whether an asset is considered to be credit-impaired. Expected credit losses are the discounted product of the Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD), and Loss Given Default (LGD), defined as follows: • PD represents the likelihood of a borrower defaulting on its financial obligation, either over the next 12 months (12-month PD), or over the remaining lifetime (lifetime PD) of the obligation; • EAD is based on the amounts a.s.r. expects to be owed at the time of default, over the next 12 months (12-month EAD) or over the remaining lifetime (lifetime EAD); • LGD represents a.s.r.’s expectation of the extent of the loss on a defaulted exposure. LGD varies by type of counterparty, type and seniority of the claim, and availability of collateral or other credit support. LGD is expressed as a percentage loss per unit of exposure at the time of default (EAD). LGD is calculated on a 12-month or lifetime basis, where the 12-month LGD is the percentage of loss expected to be made if the default occurs in the next 12 months, and the lifetime LGD is the percentage of loss expected to be made if the default occurs over the remaining expected lifetime of the loan. A pervasive concept in measuring ECL is that it should consider forward-looking information. a.s.r. has performed historical analyses to identify the key economic variables impacting credit risk and expected credit losses for each portfolio. Expert judgment was also applied in this process. a.s.r. employs separate models to calculate ECL on the following asset classes: • Mortgage loans; • Consumer loans; • 306 SME loans; and • Debt securities.

Liquidity risk is not quantified in the SCR of a.s.r. and is therefore separately discussed. a.s.r. recognises different levels of liquidity management. First, short-term liquidity management which covers the day-to-day cash requirements and aims to meet short term liquidity risk targets. Second level covers the medium-tolong-term liquidity management. This, among others, considers the strategic matching of liquidity & funding needs in different business conditions in which market liquidity risk could materialise. Finally stress liquidity management refers to the ability to respond to a potential crisis situation as a result of a market event and/or an a.s.r.-specific event. 308 Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 139 a.s.r. experienced changes in the liquidity as a result of cash variation margin in- and outflow related to the ISDA/CSA- and Clearing agreements of derivatives. Cash outflow was financed by returning earlier received cash collateral to counterparties and, when necessary, by liquidating assets. As at 31 December 2024 a.s.r. is a net receiver of cash collateral. Other sources of liquidity risk are (unexpected) lapses in the insurance portfolios and catastrophe risk. a.s.r. monitors its liquidity risk via different risk reporting and monitoring processes including cash management reports, cash flow forecasts, liquidity stress tests and liquidity dashboards in which liquidity outflows are calculated for different (stress) scenarios. For long-term liquidity management purposes, liquidity is also taken into account in the strategic asset allocation process. a.s.r.’s liquidity management principle consists of three components. First, a well-diversified funding base in order to provide liquidity for cash management purposes. A portion of assets must be held in overnight liquidity (directly available) and invested in unencumbered marketable securities so it can be used for collateralised borrowing or asset sales. In order to cover liquidity needs in stress events a.s.r. has committed repo-facilities in place to ensure liquidity under all market circumstances. Second, the strategic asset allocation should reflect the expected and contingent liquidity needs of liabilities. Finally, an adequate and up-to-date treasury mandate, liquidity policy and contingency plan are in place to enable management to act effectively and efficiently in times of crisis. In managing the liquidity risk from financial liabilities, a.s.r. relies on holding liquid assets comprising cash and cash equivalents and investment grade securities for which there is an active and liquid market. These assets can be readily sold or lend to meet liquidity requirements. As at 31 December 2024, a.s.r. had cash (€ 3,372 million), short-term secured deposits (€ 653 million) and liquid government bonds (€ 15,775 million). The following table shows the contractual undiscounted cash flows of the insurance liabilities based on Solvency II. All other line items as well as the total carrying value are based on IFRS principles. The insurance liabilities include the impact of expected lapses and mortality as well as non profit sharing cash flows. Profit sharing cash flows of insurance liabilities are not taken into account, nor are equities, property and swaptions. Furthermore, cash flows of the pension benefit obligations are taken into account.

When the amount payable is not fixed the amount reported is determined by reference to the conditions existing at the reporting date. Financial liabilities payable on demand include the liability recognised for cash collateral received under ISDAs, concluded with counterparties. The related cash collateral received is recognised as cash and cash equivalents, and not part of the liquidity risk exposure table. 7.8.6 Operational risk Operational risk concerns the risk of direct and / or indirect losses which can occur within a.s.r. as a result of inadequate or failing (changing) internal processes, people, systems and/or as a result of external events. Operational risks occurred are most times being caused by the failure of processes, people, systems, external events or a combination of these factors. Operational risk—required capital 31 December 31 December 2024 2023 SCR operational risk—required capital 430 437 The SCR for operational risk amounts to € 430 million at the end of 2024 (2023: € 437 million) and is determined with the standard formula under Solvency II. The operational risk is based on the basic SCR, the volumes of premiums and technical provisions, and the amount of expenses. 309 There is no benefit of diversification for operational risk.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 140 7.8.7 Strategic and operational risk management The system of internal control includes the management of risks at different levels in the organisation, both operational and strategic. 7.8.7.1 Strategic Risk Management Strategic risk management aims to identify and manage the most important risks that may impact a.s.r.’s strategic objectives. The process of strategic risk analysis (SRA) is designed to identify, measure, manage, monitor, report and evaluate those risks that are of strategic importance to a.s.r.: Identifying Through the SRA process, identification of risks is structurally organised through the combined top-down and bottom-up SRA approach. The SRA outcomes are jointly translated into ‘risk priorities’ and ‘emerging risks’, in which the most important risks for a.s.r. are represented. Measuring Through the SRA process, the likelihood and impact of the identified risks are assessed, taking into account (the effectiveness of) risk mitigating measures and planned improvement actions. Information from other processes is used to gain additional insights into the likelihood and impact. One single risk priority can take multiple risks into account. In this manner, the risk priorities provide (further) insights into risk interdependencies. Managing As part of the SRA processes, the effectiveness of risk mitigating measures and planned measures of improvement is assessed. This means risk management strategies are discussed, resulting in refined risk management strategies. Monitoring and reporting The output of the SRA process is translated into day-to-day risk management and monitoring and reporting, both at group level and business line levels. At group level, the risk priorities are discussed in the a.s.r. risk committee and the Audit & Risk Committee. At the level of the business lines, risks are discussed in the BRC’s. Evaluating Insights regarding likelihood and impact are evaluated against solvency targets in the SRA process. Based on this evaluation, conclusions are formulated regarding the adequacy of solvency objectives at group and individual legal entity level. 7.8.7.2 Operational Risk Management Operational Risk Management (ORM) involves the management of all possible risks that may influence the achievement of the business goals and that can cause financial or reputational damage. ORM includes the identification, analysis, prioritisation and management of these risks in line with the risk appetite. The policy on ORM is drafted and periodically evaluated under the coordination of ORM. The policy is implemented in the (decentralised) business entities under the responsibility of the management boards. A variety of risks is covered by ORM policies, such as the Process, IT, outsourcing, project, reporting policy etc. Identifying With the operational targets as a starting point, each business entity performs risk assessments to identify events that could influence these targets. In each business entity the a first line risk manager facilitates the periodic identification of the key operational risks. All business processes are taken into account to identify the risks. All identified risks are prioritised and recorded in a risk-control framework. The risk policies prescribe specific risk analyses to be performed to identify and analyse the risks. For IT systems, Information Security Analyses (DIVA—Dienstverlening en Informatie Veiligheids Analyse) have to be performed and for large outsourcing projects a specific risk analysis is required. Measuring All risks in the risk-control frameworks are assessed on likelihood and impact. Where applicable, the variables are quantified, but often judgments of subject matter experts are required. Based on the estimation of the variables, each risk is labelled with a specific level of concern (1 to 4). Gross risks with a level of concern 3 or 4 are considered ‘key’. Managing For each risk, identified controls are implemented into the processes to keep the level of risk within the agreed risk appetite (level of concern 1 or 2). In general, risks can be accepted, mitigated, avoided or transferred. A large range of options is available to mitigate operational risks, depending on the type. An estimation is made of the net risk, after implementing the control(s). A more effective and efficient approach to managing risks is required driven by increased complexity of processes, data processing and the need for a timely and accurate view on the risk profile. a.s.r. is therefore in the process of shifting towards a more automated approach to manage risks, for example automated controls, data analysis and the use of AI for reporting purposes. Monitoring and reporting The effectiveness of ORM is periodically monitored by the first line risk manager at each business line or legal entity. For each key control in the risk-control framework a testing calendar is established based on auditing standards. Each key control is tested regularly and the outcomes of the effectiveness of the management of key risks are reported to the (local) management. Outcomes are also reported to the NFRC and a.s.r. risk committee. Evaluating Periodically, yet at least annually, the risk-control frameworks and ORM policies are evaluated to see if revisions 310 are necessary. The risk management function also challenges the business segments and legal entities regarding their risk-control frameworks.

7.8 Risk management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 141 Operational incidents Operational incidents are reported to GRM, in accordance with the operational risk policy. Root cause analyses are performed to evaluate the causes of losses in order to learn from these experiences. An overview of the largest operational incidents and the level of operational losses is reported to the NFRC. Actions are defined and implemented to avoid repetition of operational incidents. ICT Through IT risk management, a.s.r. devotes attention to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of ICT, including End User Computations. The logical access control for key systems used in the financial reporting process remains a high priority in order to enhance the integrity of applications and data. The logical access control procedures also prevents fraud by improving segregation of duties and by offsetting current and desired access levels within the systems and applications. Proper understanding of information, security and cyber risks is essential and the reason for which continuous actions are carried out to create awareness among employees. All of a.s.r.’s security measures are tested periodically. To increase cyber resilience, a.s.r. is participating in de DNB Threat Intel Based Ethical Red Teaming exercise. Business Continuity Management Operations and the execution of critical processes can be disrupted significantly by unforeseen circumstances or calamities. Preparation and practice enable a.s.r. to resume its most important business activities with limited interruptions and to react quickly and effectively during such situations. Critical processes and the people, assets and technology needed to run them are identified during the Business Impact Analysis. The factors and calamities that can threaten the availability these processes are identified in the Threat Analysis. If the impact of certain events can be unacceptable large, mitigating actions are taken. In response to the large dependence of a.s.r. of automated systems, cyber threats are always addressed during these analyses. a.s.r. defines a crisis as: one or more business lines are (in danger of being) disrupted due to a calamity or potentially suffering reputational damage beyond the acceptable. In order to manage the crisis, and to be able to react timely, efficiently and effectively, a.s.r. has set up a crisis organisation. There is a central crisis team led by a member of the board. Additionally each business line has its own team to deal with smaller crises. The measures to ensure continuity of critical processes are tested regularly and all crisis teams are trained annually to be able to act effectively during such situations. The plans to deal with the various scenarios, including cyber threats, are also practiced periodically. Recovery and Resolution a.s.r. has to comply with Dutch legislation that addresses the recovery and settlement of insurance companies (‘Wet herstel en afwikkeling van verzekeraars’ in Dutch). The objective is that insurance companies and supervisors are better prepared against a crisis and that insurance companies can recover from a crisis without government aid. On 5 April 2023 a new policy rule on resolvability of insurance companies was published. The policy rule specifies the criteria DNB has to take into account when identifying impediments to resolution in relation to Dutch insurance companies. 879241-001-Part-2 28Mar25 13:48 As part of the legislation a.s.r. is obliged to have a Preparatory Crisis Plan (‘Voorbereidend Crisisplan’ in Dutch) in place that has been approved by DNB. In 2024, a.s.r.’s Preparatory Crisis Plan is updated and helps to be prepared and supports the organisation in various scenarios of extreme financial stress. The Preparatory Crisis Plan describes and quantifies the measures that can be applied to handle a crisis situation and to resume business. These measures are tested in the scenario analysis, in which the effects of each recovery measure on a.s.r.’s financial position (solvency and liquidity) are quantified. The required preparations for implementing the measures, their implementation time and effectiveness, potential obstacles, impact on clients and operational effects are also assessed. The main purpose of the Preparatory Crisis Plan is to increase the chances of early intervention in the event of a financial crisis situation and to further guarantee that the interest of clients and other stakeholders are protected. Reasonable assurance and model validation a.s.r. aims to obtain reasonable assurance regarding the adequacy and accuracy of the outcomes of models that are used to provide best estimate values and solvency capital requirements. To this end, multiple instruments are applied, including model validation. Two times a year a model inventory is performed by the product lines to determine if and when a model (re)validation is required. Triggers for model (re)validation are diverse, e.g. regulation, conversions, analysis of change. Materiality is determined by means of an assessment of impact and complexity. Impact and complexity is expressed in terms of High (H), Medium (M), or Low (L). The model inventories are discussed in the Model Committee. In the pursuit of reasonable assurance, model risk is mitigated and unacceptable deviations are avoided, against acceptable costs.

The main differences between the IFRS equity and EOF Solvency II are: • Adjustment of other equity instruments (the other equity instruments excludes any discretionary interest); • Elimination of intangible assets, such as goodwill, as this is not recognised under Solvency II; • Net revaluation of insurance liabilities due to differences between IFRS 17 and SII, such as the applied yield curve. This is after tax-impact of 25.8%; • Other revaluations for example the revaluation of Financial Institutions; • The addition of subordinated liabilities and other equity instruments (excluding any discretionary interest); • Other EOF items, for example foreseeable dividend and non-available minority interest. 7.9.1 Capital management objectives Management Overall capital management is administered at group level. a.s.r. currently intends to consider investing capital above the management target Solvency II ratio (calculated based on the partial internal model) of 160% with the objective of creating value for its shareholders. If and when a.s.r. operates at a certain level (which may change over time) that is considerably above the management target, and it assesses that it cannot invest this capital in value-creating opportunities for a prolonged period of time, a.s.r. may decide, but is not obliged, to return (part of this) capital to its shareholders. If a.s.r. chooses to return capital, it plans to do so in a form that is efficient for shareholders at that time. a.s.r. actively manages its in-force business, which is expected to result in free capital generation over time. Additionally, business improvement and balance sheet restructuring should improve the capital generation capacity while 879241 advancing -001 the risk -Part profile- of 2 the company. The 28Mar25 legal entities are 13:48 individually capitalised and excess capital over management’s targets for the legal entities is intended to be upstreamed to the holding company as far as is needed for amongst others covering external dividend, coupon payments on hybrids / senior financing instruments and holding costs and in so far the local regulations and the internal risk appetite statement allow. Excess capital that is upstreamed to the holding company is added to and managed in the holding cash buffer until it is further distributed and used to cover dividends, coupons and other holding expenses. The capital and cash attribution to the holding is closely monitored and managed on a continuous basis. Objectives The group is committed to maintain a strong capital position in order to be a robust and sustainable insurer for its policyholders and other stakeholders. The objective is to maintain a solvency ratio well above the minimum levels as defined in the risk appetite statements and above the relevant management threshold levels. Sensitivities are periodically performed for principal risks and annual stress tests are performed to test a.s.r.’s robustness to withstand moderate to severe scenarios. An additional objective is to achieve a combination of a capital position and a risk profile that supports at least a ‘single A’ rating by Standard & Poor’s. The SCR is reported on a quarterly basis and proxies are made on both a monthly and weekly basis. The internal minimum solvency ratio for a.s.r. as formulated in the risk appetite statement is 120%. The lower limit solvency target is 140%. The management threshold level for the solvency ratio is above 160%. The solvency ratio stood at 198% at 31 December 2024 including financial institutions and after final dividend, which was comfortably above the internal requirement of 120% and the management threshold level of 160%. In accordance with a.s.r.’s dividend policy, the liquidity of the underlying entities is not taken into account for the liquidity position of the group. However, the capital is recognised in the capital position of the group, since a.s.r. has the ability to realise the capital of this OTSO, for example by selling the entity. Specifically regarding a.s.r. health basic in 2024, no dividend or capital withdrawals have taken place. The graph shows how the eligible own funds of a.s.r. relate to the different capital targets.

7.9 Capital management • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 144 Market value own funds under SCR 7.9.2 Solvency ratio and a.s.r. ratings SCR The required capital stood at € 6,209 million per 31 December 2024 (2023: € 6,581 million). The required capital (before diversification) consists for 2024 € 5,452 million out of market risk and the insurance risk amounted to € 5,074 million. a.s.r.’s Solvency II ratio, including financial institutions, complied during 2024 with the applicable externally imposed capital requirement. The capital requirements of the financial institutions fall under a different sectoral supervision regime. The table presents the solvency ratio at group level as at the date indicated. Eligible own funds to meet the SCR 31 December 2024 31 December 2023 Eligible Own Funds Solvency II 11,968 10,460 Required capital 6,006 5,718 Solvency II ratio excluding Financial Institutions 199% 183% Eligible Own Funds Solvency II 12,321 11,578 Required capital 6,209 6,581 Solvency II ratio including Financial Institutions 198% 176% The Solvency II ratio stood at 199% (excluding financial institutions) at 31 December 2024 (2023: 183%). The Solvency II ratio including financial institutions stood at 198% as at 31 December 2024 (2023: 176%). The Solvency II ratios presented are not final until filed with the regulators. After a 1-in-200 shock a.s.r. suffers an economic loss equal to the BSCR* which is defined as the basic SCR (BSCR) plus operational risk (OR) plus the adjustment for the Loss Absorbing Capacity of the Technical Provisions (LAC TP). This loss (corrected for any tax exempted losses) may be partly offset by the Loss Absorbing Capacity of Deferred Taxes (LAC DT). The LAC DT is calculated according to the requirements as stated in the Solvency II (SII) regulations, which provide a principle-based approach for the LAC DT substantiation. In 2024, different from previous year, the same (harmonised) projection model is used for all Solvency II entities within a.s.r., albeit with entity-specific input. The amount of LAC DT in the consolidated SCR at group level consists of the sum of the LAC DT of all Solvency II entities within a.s.r. adjusted for the group diversification effects. This results in a LAC DT of € 1,541 million (2023: € 1,475 million). In this year’s reassessment experts decided to decrease the top bucket floors for a.s.r. life and a.s.r. non-life by 5% to 80% and 85% respectively to align with the top bucket floor for Aegon life and to provide a sufficient buffer to limit future volatility. For the other entities a.s.r. decided to keep the top bucket floors at their current levels. Furthermore, the a.s.r. SCR includes LAC TP which is the part of the technical provisions that can be used to absorb some of the SCR shock losses, as the expected future profit sharing to policyholders will be reduced if actual losses would arise. LAC TP amounted to € 165 million at year-end 2024 (2023: € 156 million). On 8 January 2025, the amendments to the Solvency II Directive have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The changes contained in the amended Directive must be incorporated into national legislation by 29 January 2027, and become applicable to insurers as of 30 January 2027. The amendments consist of various changes to the Solvency II framework, affecting most notably the liability discount curve, the risk margin and the volatility adjustment (VA), the Dynamic volatility Adjustment (DVA) 314 and the long term impact of the climate change transition plan on the Solvency II requirements.

Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 146 7.10 Operating result Definition of operating result Operating result is calculated by using the result before tax from continuing operations reported in accordance with IFRS, adjusted for the following: 1. Adjustments to the insurance service result: • The impact of changes to future services on onerous contracts; • The impact of changes of inflation on the Liability for Incurred Claims; • The amortisation of pre recognition interest rate hedged developments prior to initial CSM recognition. With effect from 2024, when a.s.r. explicitly hedges pre recognition interest movements to protect the profitability of new business Level of Aggration (LoA), the valuation of this interest rate hedge as per date of initial recognition CSM will be added to CSM of this new business LoA. Consequently, the interest hedge will be amortised over the remaining period of the LoA, equal to the period of release of the CSM of the respective LoA.; 2. Adjustments to the investment and finance result: investment and finance result, excluding investment operating expenses, is replaced by an Operating Investment and Finance Result (which is part of the Operating Result) and is defined as the expected return on the investments in excess of the expected interest accrual on the insurance liabilities, the investment operating expenses, all hybrid expenses (including hybrid expenses through OCI) and the UFR drag for each reporting period. The operating result should reflect the operational performance of a.s.r. and should exclude revaluation effects on the assets and (insurance related) liabilities as a result of interest and spread movements and/or equity and real estate market movements. If a.s.r. is to value the present value of future cash flows, it is common market practice to make use of a forward curve (based on the current discount curve) plus a certain premium reflecting the risk of invested assets. This premium is defined as the implied spread at the beginning of the period over which the result is calculated. The expected return is calculated as: • For the fixed income investments: the market value of the fixed income assets at the beginning of the period multiplied by the total of the one year forward swap rate and the implied spread at the beginning 316 of the period; Financial statements Introduction Consolidated financial statements Accounting policies Group structure and segment information Notes to the consolidated balance sheet Notes to the consolidated income statement Other notes Risk management Capital management Operating result Company financial statements

7.10 Operating result • Annual Report 2024 ASR Nederland N.V. 147 • For equities and real estate investments: the market value of the equity and real estate assets at the beginning of the period multiplied by a total return assumption; • For Insurance related liabilities: the market value of the insurance related liabilities at the beginning of the period multiplied by the one-year forward rate of the IFRS17 curve (i.e. including the Liability Illiquidity Premium and Credit Risk Adjustment); • The other assets / liabilities at the beginning of the period multiplied by the forward curve. The implied spread per fixed income asset category is defined as the required increase above the forward swap curve to determine the current market value. The implied spreads are calculated quarterly. a.s.r. has defined five fixed income asset categories that each have an implied spread. The balance sheet at the beginning of the period is based on a.s.r.’s look-through principle, i.e. all assets in the same asset category have a similar risk-profile (e.g. fixed income funds are classified as fixed income and not as equities, real estate funds are classified as real estate, etc.). For real estate and equity investments, a.s.r. applies a total return assumption of 5.5% and 6.6% (pre-tax) respectively. This assumption is evaluated each year; 3. Other adjustments and incidental items: • Model- and methodological changes of a fundamental nature, in the measurement of the insurance liabilities; • Results of non-core operations; • Non-recurring or one-off items related to the ongoing business; • Non-recurring or one-off items not related to the ongoing business, such as (non-exhaustive) restructuring costs, regulatory costs not related to business activities, changes in own pension arrangements and expenses related to mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activities and start-ups. The treatment of intercompany transactions and eliminations between group companies has been split into continued and discontinued operations. In cases where the a.s.r. group continues to provide services to a discontinued operation subsequent to the disposal, the elimination of intragroup transactions between the continuing operations and the discontinued operation before the disposal will be treated in a way that reflects the continuance of these transactions, and as such impacts the operating result. This could have an impact on insurance service result, investment and finance result and other adjustments and incidental items. The RoE, which is based on the operating result, is defined as: i. The operating result adjusted for the applicable tax divided by ii. The IFRS equity adjusted for the unrealised capital gains reserve that may be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss and equity components of discontinued operations and non-core activities.

Independent Auditors’ Report To the Supervisory Board of ASR Nederland N.V. Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial statements of ASR Nederland N.V. (and its subsidiaries) (the Company), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes, and financial statement schedules II and III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Accounting Standards as endorsed by the European Union (EU-IFRS). Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Emphasis of Matter As discussed in note 7.1.2, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS, which differs from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matter The accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, and financial statement schedules, were not audited, reviewed, or compiled by us, and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on them. Responsibilities of Management for the Consolidated Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with EU-IFRS, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issuance.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the consolidated financial statements. In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we: • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise significant doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit. /s/ KPMG Accountants N.V.
