On 1 February 2013, the Minister of Finance expropriated all shares in the share capital of SNS REAAL. Trading of the stock ceased on the same day. On 25 February 2013, the Council of State upheld the expropriation of the shares. The Dutch State is now definitely sole shareholder of SNS REAAL.

In a letter to the House of Representatives, the Minister of Finance announced that following the nationalisation, the share of SNS REAAL will be removed from the stock exchange. We have therefore requested NYSE Euronext Amsterdam to terminate the listing. Consequently, the share of SNS REAAL no longer has a listing on Euronext Amsterdam as of 27 March 2013.
