Upon decision by the AGM, the appointment of Alexandra Reich will

part of the agenda for the 2023 AGM as published today and has been
approved by the European Central Bank.

2020, she held various positions at Telenor, including as CEO of
subsidiaries in Hungary and Thailand. Previously she also held

Raiffeisen Zentralbank. Currently she holds non-executive positions

holds a degree in business and economics from the University of
Business & Economics in Vienna, Austria.
As announced on 3 March 2023, it will also be proposed to the
AGM to appoint Karl Guha to the Supervisory Board with the
intention to elect him as chairman, succeeding Hans Wijers. Other
than earlier announced, the appointment will be effective upon the
stepping down of Hans Wijers from the Supervisory Board, which is
expected on 1 July 2023. Furthermore, it will be proposed to the
AGM to reappoint Mike Rees and Herna Verhagen for a next term of
four years as members of the Supervisory Board. They both were
first appointed in 2019. Mike Rees is vice-chairman of the
Supervisory Board and chairs the Risk Committee. Herna Verhagen
chairs the Remuneration Committee. As announced earlier, Mariana
Gheorghe will step down from the Supervisory Board at the end of
the AGM, having completed two terms of four years.
ING will also propose to the AGM to reappoint Tanate Phutrakul,
currently CFO of ING, to the Executive Board for a next period of
four years. Tanate Phutrakul was appointed to the Executive Board
at the AGM in 2019.
The agenda also includes the proposal to the AGM to reappoint
KPMG Accountants N.V. as external auditor of ING Group for a period
of two years, to audit the financial statements for each of the
financial years 2024 and 2025. KPMG was appointed as ING’s auditor
at the 2015 AGM and was reappointed for a period of four years in
2020. After the audit of the 2025 financial statements, KPMG will
have fulfilled the maximum period of 10 years as external auditor
of ING Group.
