ING Group to issue USD denominated Additional Tier 1 securities

Not for release, publication or distribution, in whole or in part, in or into or from Japan, Australia or any other jurisdiction where to do so would constitute a violation of the relevant laws or regulations of such jurisdiction.

ING Group intends to issue securities that qualify as Additional Tier 1 capital under CRD IV / CRR. The intended issuance is expected to further strengthen ING's capital base.

The intended issuance will be in the form of USD denominated Perpetual Additional Tier 1 Contingent Convertible Capital Securities. The securities will be subject to full conversion into ordinary shares of ING Group in the event ING Group's phased-in CET 1 ratio would fall below 7.0%.

Over the coming week, ING will conduct an investor roadshow for the intended offering. The corresponding investor presentation is available on www.ing.com.  The offer price, initial coupon and final amount of securities sold will be determined at the conclusion of the offering process and will be announced in a separate press release.

In connection with the offering, ING has filed a registration statement on Form F-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which became effective upon filing. ING will file a prospectus supplement in respect of the Additional Tier 1 securities shortly.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state. The registration statement relating to the offering may be obtained by visiting the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
