A separate registration statement on Form F-6 (Registration No. 333-113697) has been filed with respect to the American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") evidenced by American Depositary Receipts. Each ADS represents one Bearer Depositary Receipt issued by Stichting ING Aandelen with respect to Ordinary Shares with a nominal value of 0.24 euros (EUR 0.24) each of ING Groep N.V.
(2)
Pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933, this Registration Statement also covers additional shares that may be necessary to adjust the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents for any future stock split, stock dividend or similar adjustment of the outstanding Ordinary Shares and Bearer Depositary Receipts of the Registrant.
(3)
Estimated solely for calculating the amount of the registration fee, pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (h) of Rule 457 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on the basis of the average of the high and low sales prices of Bearer Depositary Receipts on the Euro Amsterdam Stock Market on September 11, 2006, within five business days prior to filing, which was 32.885 euros (EUR 32.885). Such euro price was converted to U.S. dollars at U.S.$1.2699 = EUR 1, the approximate exchange rate prevailing on September 11, 2006.
