ING issues shares for employee share plans


Apr 01, 2008 (Hugin via COMTEX) -- ING Groep N.V. has issued 1,734,638 (depositary receipts for) ordinary shares to fulfil the obligation arising out of the employee share plans. ING employees are granted conditional shares which become unconditional after three years if the employee remains at ING. The share plans granted in 2005 became unconditional at 31 March 2008. The total number of shares outstanding is now 2,246 million.

Of the newly issued shares ING bought back 1,042,546 at the opening price (EUR 23.50) at 31 March 2008 for the delta hedge book, which is used to hedge employee options, from employees who wished to sell their shares immediately.

The delta hedge position is adjusted periodically, mainly on a quarterly basis, in accordance with regulatory requirements and ING's policies to prevent market manipulation.

The hedge book currently holds 33.5 million (depositary receipts for) ordinary ING shares, representing 1.5 % of the total shares outstanding.
