Home Member State

ING confirms that the Netherlands is its Home Member State. This is a mandatory announcement to comply with the changes made to the Dutch Financial Supervision Act, section 5:25a(2), as a result of the amended EU Transparency Directive (Directive 2004/109/EC, as amended). Following the implementation of the amended EU Transparency Directive, all issuers of securities admitted to trading on a regulated market within the European Union are required to publicly announce their Home Member State for purposes of their disclosure obligations under the EU Transparency Directive. ING for this purpose means ING Groep N.V. and ING Bank N.V.
