According to a public notice filed with the New York Stock Exchange
on 17 November 2009, a provisional record date was set at 27 November
2009. Due to the standard three day settlement period at the New York
Stock Exchange,  ING's ADSs effectively began trading provisionally
ex-rights on 24 November 2009. These dates are provisional, pending
approval from shareholders at the Extraordinary Shareholders meeting
today and a final decision by the board of ING.

Depositary receipts of shares traded on Euronext Amsterdam will
continue to trade cum-rights until after shareholder approval is
received, the final decision is taken and the rights issue terms and
conditions and a definitive timetable are announced.
