Notes:

*Please give a recognised Sedol/ISIN number for all purchase/sale requests for funds. Providing this will mean we won’t need to contact you for clarification, and will help us act on your instructions more efficiently.

1. For bonds invested in external funds, we recommend that you leave 5% of the policy value in the cash account to cover charges and withdrawals. If there aren’t enough funds available, this cash account could become overdrawn and you’ll have to pay overdraft charges.

3. The settlement currency is the currency of the cash account to which the sale proceeds will be credited.

The settlement currency should be the denomination currency of the bond, unless proceeds of the sale are to be used immediately to purchase assets denominated in a different currency. However, if no settlement currency is selected, the sale proceeds will return in the currency of the asset sold. We’ll convert any cash balances not in the denomination of the bond back into bond currency on a regular basis. 4. Where purchases are instructed using the proceeds of sales, we‘ll

make these when we receive 100% of the sale settlement proceeds, and not before. If you need to separate a purchase from the unsettled sales, please instruct us to ‘unlink’ the purchase.

5. We’ll only place a purchase once there’s sufficient available cash in the cash account.

6. For exchange traded funds, please provide the number of whole shares you wish to trade. If a monetary figure or percentage is given, we won’t be able to place the trade until you confirm the number of shares to be traded.

7. Where income units have been requested, we’ll credit dividends to the cash account.

8. Where we’re buying Aegon international internal funds:

• and we receive the request before noon on a business day, we’ll use the valuation at the next business day. We’ll only process a request where we have enough money in the cash account; and

• we receive the request after noon on a business day, we’ll apply the instructions using the second valuation after we receive this form. 9. Please use the ‘Special comments’ column in the table to advise when

you want assets to be sold from your deposit accounts, e.g. with penalty, on maturity or with notice.

10. We don’t accept requests to sell proportionately across all funds, you must specify the Sedol/ISIN code along with the amount to be disinvested.

11. We don’t issue confirmation of trade settlement, contract notes are available online.

12. We don’t allow switch instructions on external funds or bank deposits. Instructions such as this need to be instructed as a ‘linked deal’. A linked deal is where we sell one asset and invest in another asset of your choice once the full sale proceeds are returned to us. Please note that telegraphic transfer charges may be incurred for deposits and different trade dates can apply for external funds.

13. If instructing a FX trade, an indicative rate is used until trade is placed in the market. Online services will show exact amount once trade is settled. 14. All deposits will end on their maturity date and return to the bond cash

account. If you wish to rollover, you need to instruct us to do this at least seven days, and no later than 48 hours before the maturity date.

15. You can’t place a sale on an external fund where you’ve an unsettled cash sale on that asset.

16. If you’ve chosen a non-Undertakings for Collective Investments in Transferable Securities (UCITS) fund and UCITS restrictions apply we won’t invest anything until we contact you to clarify which UCITS fund you want to invest in.

17. Where you’ve to sell assets to fund your withdrawal, please note external assets have different dealing dates and settlement periods. The withdrawal payment will be dependent on when we receive contract notes and cash settlements from the external fund administrators.

You should always seek advice from your financial adviser when you’re selecting an asset for your bond. We don’t promote or market any asset and will process your instruction as an execution-only transaction on the basis that you’ve received your own advice on the merits of the transaction and that it’s suitable and in line with your attitude to risk. The risks you should consider, prior to completing this form, include but aren’t limited to:

• the complexity of the investment strategy and the extent to which the underlying assets of the fund may be speculative or illiquid;

• the permissibility criteria set out in the policy conditions and the extent to which these are satisfied;

• whether an external fund is a non-mainstream pooled investment such as a professional investor scheme, a UCIS**, close substitute of a UCIS, or other type of fund regulated outside the UK and any associated financial and governance risks; and

• the level of protection available to investors in circumstances where the fund is purchased through your policy (in the name of our custodian) with classification by the fund manager generally as professional rather than retail client.

Before sending an instruction to purchase an asset, it’s your

responsibility to make sure you’re aware of any charges that will apply, including initial charges, redemption charges (early or otherwise), ongoing and performance-related charges.

What you get back can’t be guaranteed and depends on the performance of the assets and funds that you and your financial adviser and/or

investment adviser/manager choose. It’s possible that an underlying asset could reduce significantly in value or, in some circumstances, have no value (for example, due to the insolvency of a bank or other organisation). If this happens, the value of your bond will reduce. We don’t assess the suitability, or the reliability of your investments for you.

**A UCIS is a collective investment scheme in relation to which the operator hasn’t applied for or obtained FCA authorised or recognised scheme status. They’re not generally subject to FCA or similar overseas rules on the operation of collective investment schemes. There are restrictions that apply to the promotion of UCIS type funds since these funds are only suitable for certain types of investors.
