Conclusion
On the assumption that stockholders approve the proposals concerning the associa
tion with AEGON N.V. and Postbank N.V., we look to 1986 with confidence despite
the increasingly stiff competition.
In a statement to stockholders to be published separately, we give further details of
the proposed association and of forecast earnings for 1986.
To our staff we should like to express our sincere thanks for their efforts in 1985; we
are confident that, with their full support, we shall also achieve our goals for 1986.
