The dividend, to be approved at the Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders on 24 April 2007, represents an increase of 12%
from EUR 1.18 over 2005. Taking into account the interim dividend
of EUR 0.59 made payable in August 2006, the proposed fi nal

ordinary share, to be paid fully in cash. The ING share will be
quoted ex-dividend as of 26 April 2007 and the fi nal dividend will
be made payable on 3 May 2007 on Euronext Amsterdam. On the
NYSE these dates are 23 April 2007 and 10 May 2007, respectively.

return than the average of that of our peers over the longer term.
Amongst our peer group of 20 global fi nancial organisations,
ING ranks second with a Total Shareholder Return of 109% over
the three-year period since 2004.
