Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 26, 2009, ING Groep N.V. announced it reached an agreement with the State of the
Netherlands ("Dutch State"), for itself and on behalf of certain ING affiliates including ING Life

by ING Direct, FSB and ING affiliates within ING Insurance Americas, including $1.0 billion of
the Alt-A RMBS portfolio owned by the Company. The Dutch State therefore will participate in
80% of any results of the ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio. The risk transfer to the Dutch State will take
place at a discount of 10% of par value. ING will remain the legal owner of 100% of the Alt-A
RMBS portfolio and will remain exposed to 20% of any results on the portfolio.
As a consequence of the transaction, the Dutch State will be entitled to receive 80% of the cash
flows of the total ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio. ING will pay to the Dutch State an annual Guarantee
Fee consisting of a fixed amount plus over time, a percentage of the payments received on the
Proportion of the ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio. The net present value of this fee is EUR -0.6 billion
($-0.8 billion). ING will receive from the Dutch State payments representing a net present value of
EUR 0.5 billion ($0.7 billion). In addition, ING will receive from the Dutch State a management
fee with a net present value of EUR 0.7 billion ($0.9 billion).
The Company, other ING affiliates within ING Insurance Americas and ING Direct, FSB are
expected to be parties to the Back-up Facility and to enter into intercompany participation
agreements in order to implement the transaction. The final terms of the intercompany participation
agreements and the financial and other terms applicable to the Company, other ING affiliates within
Insurance Americas and ING Direct, FSB under the Back-up Facility will be subject to
documentation and regulatory approvals.
