regulations in other jurisdictions affecting the capital AEGON is required
to maintain;
* Litigation or regulatory action that could require AEGON to pay significant
damages or change the way the company does business;

reputation and adversely affect its results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows;
* Customer responsiveness to both new products and distribution channels;

the distribution cost of or demand for AEGON's products;
