Delta Lloyd today announces that Delta Lloyd NV shares will be included in the AEX Index of NYSE Euronext Amsterdam from 24 March 2014. The AEX Index is made up of the 25 most important companies listed on NYSE Euronext Amsterdam.  

The composition of the AEX Index is reviewed by NYSE Euronext Amsterdam annually in March. The selection of companies is determined by the free float adjusted market capitalisation. At the end of February 2014, Delta Lloyd's market capitalisation was about € 4 billion.

Niek Hoek, CEO of Delta Lloyd: "This is a splendid achievement and recognition for our company. Inclusion in the AEX Index supports our strategy, enhances our strategic flexibility, and strengthens our brand and investment profile. This listing further raises our profile in the financial markets. Since our flotation in 2009, investors have demonstrated their trust and confidence in Delta Lloyd. This confirms that the policy we pursue is effective and enables us to further expand our shareholder base. Our inclusion in the Netherlands' primary index marks a wonderful next step for our company."

In November 2009, Delta Lloyd went public on the Amsterdam stock exchange. British Aviva, at that time majority shareholder of Delta Lloyd, further reduced its interest in Delta Lloyd in 2011 and 2012 and sold its remaining shares in January 2013. On 2 March 2010, Delta Lloyd was admitted to the AMX Midkap index. In 2013, Delta Lloyd obtained a listing on NYSE Euronext Brussels, emphasizing Belgium's importance as the company's second home market. On 18 March 2013, Delta Lloyd was included in the BEL20 index, Belgium's primary index.
