With the ringing of the opening bell by Jan Van Autreve and Piet Verbrugge, the listing of Delta Lloyd NV ("Delta Lloyd") on NYSE Euronext Brussels became a reality. The two Board Chairmen of the Belgian businesses, Delta Lloyd Life and Delta Lloyd Bank , respectively, opened the stock exchange today in Brussels. The listing involves a cross listing, which means that Delta Lloyd is not issuing any new shares and its primary listing remains on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam.

The new listing reinforces Delta Lloyd's profile and visibility as a player in the Belgian banking and pensions market. It also increases the group's strategic flexibility. The listing will lead to the further diversification of the shareholder base and create broader access to the capital market.

CEO Niek Hoek: "The Euronext listing in Brussels underlines the importance that we attach to the Belgian market as Delta Lloyd's second home market. It marks the start of a new phase for Delta Lloyd as a listed company. We thank our customers and shareholders for the trust they place in us, and will continue working hard to promote their interests and to achieve our ambitions in Belgium. "
