AEGON's businesses focus on life insurance and pensions, savings and investment products. The
group is also active in accident and supplemental health insurance and general insurance, and has
limited banking activities. AEGON's businesses serve about 40 million customers,[citation needed]
with major operations in the United States (where it is heavily represented through World
Financial Group), the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In addition, the group is present in a
number of other countries including Canada, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, China Taiwan
and India.
On August 13, 2007, AEGON and Merrill Lynch announced a strategic business partnership in
the areas of life insurance and investment products. As part of the relationship, AEGON acquired
two of Merrill Lynch's life insurance companies for US$1.3 billion. [2]
On April 23, 2008, Alex Wynaendts succeeded the retiring Donald J. Shepard as Chairman of the
Executive Board and CEO of AEGON N.V. following the Group's Annual General Meeting of
Shareholders. Donald Shepard announced his retirement in November 2007, after six years as
Chairman. [3]
On October 28 2008, the Dutch government and De Nederlandsche Bank agreed to give AEGON
a €3 billion capital injection to create a capital buffer in exchange for convertible bonds to ease
the group through the financial crisis.[4]

In 2008, AEGON became the official sponsor of the Dutch football team Ajax Amsterdam, in a
deal which will last for seven years.[5] Ajax's uniform now features the AEGON logo across the
chest. AEGON becomes the third sponsor of Ajax (TDK sponsored Ajax in the 1980s, and ABN
AMRO sponsored the team from 1990 till 2008).
