Neither the delivery of this Supplement nor the Registration Document shall in any circumstances imply that the information contained in such Registration Document and herein concerning the Issuer is correct at any time subsequent to 22 March 2024 (in the case of the Registration Document) or the date hereof (in the case of this Supplement).

The distribution of the Registration Document and this Supplement and the offer of sale of any securities of the Issuer may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND INFORMATION INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

On 2 May 2024, ING Groep N.V. ("ING Group") published a press release entitled "ING posts 1Q2024 net result of €1,578 million, with strong commercial performance" (the "Q1 Press Release"). On 2 May 2024, ING Group published a press release entitled "ING announces share buyback programme of up to €2.5 billion" (the "Buy Back Press Release", and together with the Q1 Press Release, the "Press Releases"). The Q1 Press Release contains, among other things, the condensed consolidated unaudited results of ING Group as at, and for the three month period ended, 31 March 2024. For information about recent developments in the banking business of ING Group, which is conducted substantially through ING Bank N.V. and its consolidated group, during this period, see the Q1 Press Release. Copies of the Press Releases have been filed with the AFM and, by virtue of and in accordance with this Supplement, are incorporated by reference in, and form part of, the Registration Document.

Unless otherwise indicated, any references to websites or uniform resource locators ("URLs") contained in the Press Releases are deemed inactive textual references and are included for information purposes only. The contents of any such website or URL shall not by virtue of this Supplement form part of, or be deemed to be incorporated into, the Registration Document, unless otherwise indicated.

Please note, however, that the consolidated operations of the Issuer, while materially the same, are not identical with the reported financial and statistical information on a segment basis for the banking business of ING Group as described in the Q1 Press Release, because the financial and statistical information reported by ING Group also contains certain financial items incurred solely at the level of ING Group (on a standalone basis) which are therefore not included in the consolidated operations of the Issuer (being a wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Group). Despite the incorporation by reference of one or more press releases published by it, ING Group is not responsible for the preparation of the Registration Document.

Finally, the Issuer has been informed about certain significant new factors in respect of legal proceedings for which it wishes to update the section entitled "General Information - Litigation" in the Registration Document in the manner set out herein.

  1. The paragraph entitled "Litigation by investors" in the section entitled "General Information - Litigation" beginning on page 90 of the Registration Document shall be deleted and restated as follows (with the underlined wording added):
    "Litigation by investors: In February and March2024, ING and certain (former) board members were served with a writ of summons for litigation in The Netherlands on behalf of investors who claim to have suffered financial losses in connection with ING's disclosures on historic shortcomings in its financial economic crime policies, related risk management and control systems, the investigation by and settlement with the Dutch authorities in 2018 and related risks for ING. We do not agree with the allegations and will defend ourselves against these and the claimed damages of EUR 587million. We follow IFRS rules for taking legal provisions and would disclose material amounts in that regard if and when applicable - which currently is not the case.".
  2. The third subparagraph shall be deleted and replaced by "ING's subsidiary Payvision was the subject of a criminal investigation by Dutch authorities regarding money laundering and various requirements of the Dutch act on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing, focusing on the period from 1 January 2015 up to and including April 2020. Payvision cooperated with such investigation. In October 2021, the phasing out of Payvision was announced. The phasing out of activities and the transfer of customers to a new service provider were completed in 2022. At the request of Payvision, its license has been withdrawn. In April 2024, the Dutch authorities closed the investigation, without charges against Payvision, but with the issuance of a penalty order against two former directors of Payvision." in the paragraph entitled "Findings regarding AML processes" in the section entitled "General Information - Litigation" beginning on page 90 of the Registration Document and therefore the aforementioned paragraph shall be deleted and restated as follows (with the underlined wording added):
    "Findings regarding AML processes: As previously disclosed, after its September 2018 settlement with Dutch authorities concerning anti-money laundering matters, and in the context of significantly increased attention on the prevention of financial economic crime, ING has experienced heightened scrutiny by authorities in various countries. The interactions with such regulatory and judicial authorities have included, and can be expected to continue to include, onsite visits, information requests, investigations and other enquiries. Such interactions, as well as ING's internal assessments in connection with its global enhancement programme, have in some cases resulted in satisfactory outcomes, and also have resulted in, and may continue to result in, findings, or other conclusions which may require appropriate remedial actions by ING, or may have other consequences. ING intends to continue to work in close cooperation with authorities as it seeks to improve its management of non-financial risks in terms of policies, tooling, monitoring, governance, knowledge and behaviour.
    In January 2022, a Luxembourg investigating judge informed ING Luxembourg that he intends to instruct the relevant prosecutor to prepare a criminal indictment regarding alleged shortcomings in the AML process at ING Luxembourg. Although this matter still remains at an

3

early procedural stage and it is currently not possible to determine how this matter will be resolved or the timing of any such resolution, ING does not expect a financial outcome of this matter to have a material effect.

ING's subsidiary Payvision wasthe subject of a criminal investigation by Dutch authorities regarding money laundering and various requirements of the Dutch act on Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing, focusing on the period from 1 January 2015 up to and including April 2020. Payvision cooperatedwith such investigation. In October 2021, the phasing out of Payvision was announced. The phasing out of activities and the transfer of customers to a new service provider were completed in 2022. At the request of Payvision, its license has been withdrawn. In April 2024, the Dutch authorities closed the investigation, without charges against Payvision, but with the issuance of a penalty order against two former directors of Payvision.

ING continues to take steps to enhance its management of compliance risks and embed stronger awareness across the whole organisation. These steps are part of the global KYC programme and set of initiatives, which includes enhancing KYC files and working on various structural improvements in compliance policies, tooling, monitoring, governance, knowledge and behaviour.".

  1. The sentence "In one case, the business client filed an appeal in cassation with the Supreme Court in April 2024." shall be added after the last sentence in the paragraph entitled "Interest rate derivatives claims" in the section entitled "General Information - Litigation" beginning on page 90 of the Registration Document and therefore the aforementioned paragraph shall be deleted and restated as follows (with the underlined wording being added):
    "Interest rate derivatives claims: In the past a uniform recovery framework for Dutch SME clients with interest rate derivatives was established by a committee of independent experts appointed by the Dutch Ministry of Finance. In the context of this recovery framework most claims have been settled, however ING is still involved in several legal proceedings in the Netherlands with respect to interest rate derivatives that were sold to clients in connection with floating interest rate loans in order to hedge the interest rate risk of the loans. These proceedings are based on several legal grounds, depending on the facts and circumstances of each specific case, inter alia alleged breach of duty of care, insufficient information provided to the clients on the product and its risks and other elements related to the interest rate derivatives that were sold to clients. In some cases, the court has ruled in favour of the claimants and awarded damages, annulled the interest rate derivative or ordered repayment of certain amounts to the claimants. In one case, the business client filed an appeal in cassation with the Supreme Court in April 2024.".
  2. The sentences "In the last pending case against ING, the Court of Appeal dismissed all claims in its ruling of 9 January 2024. The time limit for lodging a cassation appeal at the Supreme Court expires on 9 April 2024." shall be deleted and replaced by "In the last pending case against ING, the claimant filed an appeal in cassation with the Dutch Supreme Court in January 2024." in the paragraph entitled "Interest surcharges claims" in the section entitled "General Information - Litigation" beginning on page 90 of the Registration Document and therefore the aforementioned paragraph shall be deleted and restated as follows (with the underlined wording being added):
    "Interest surcharges claims: ING received complaints and was involved in litigation with certain individuals in the Netherlands regarding increases in interest surcharges with respect to several credit products, including but not limited to commercial property. ING has reviewed the relevant product portfolio. The provision previously taken has been reversed for certain of these complaints. All claims are dealt with individually. Thus far, the courts have ruled in favour of ING in each case, ruling that ING was allowed to increase the interest surcharge based upon the

4

essential obligations in the contract. In a relevant case the Dutch Supreme Court ruled in favor of another Dutch bank, addressing the question whether or not a bank is allowed to increase interest surcharges unilaterally. The Supreme Court ruled affirmatively and referred the case to the Court of Appeal in The Hague. The Court of Appeal also ruled in favour of the Dutch bank in October 2022 and this ruling has been confirmed by the Supreme Court in its ruling of 22 December 2023. ING will continue to deal with all claims individually. In the last pending case against ING, the claimant filed an appeal in cassation with the Dutch Supreme Court in January 2024.".

  1. The paragraph entitled "Imtech claims" in the section entitled "General Information - Litigation" beginning on page 90 of the Registration Document shall be deleted and restated as follows (with the underlined wording added):
    "Imtech claims: In the Netherlands, the trustees in the bankruptcy of Imtech N.V. ("Imtech") claimed in September 2018 from various financing parties, including ING, (i)payment to the bankrupt estateof what the security agent at that time hadcollected following bankruptcy or intendedto collect, (ii)repayment of all that was repaid to the financing parties, as well as (iii)compensation for the repayment of a bridge financing, provided by ING and another bank. This matter was settled by all Imtech financiers, including ING, and the Imtech trustees in October 2023.
    In January 2018, ING Bank received a claim from Stichting ImtechClaim.nl and Imtech Shareholders Action Group B.V. on behalf of certain (former) shareholders of Imtech. In March 2018, ING Bank received another claim on the same subject matter from the Dutch Association of Stockholders (Vereniging van Effectenbezitters, "VEB"). In 2022, these claimantsreiterated and further substantiated theirclaim in a letter to ING. Each of the claimants allege inter alia that shareholders they representwere misled by the prospectus of the rights issues of Imtech in July 2013 and October 2014. Underwriters, including ING areheld liable by these claimants for the damages that shareholderswould have suffered. ING responded to these claimants denying any and all responsibility in relation to the allegations made in the relevant letters. In March 2024, Imtech trustees, VEB and other parties entered into a settlement agreement that contained a release for claims regarding this subject matter. This release, by way of third-partyclause, applies to ING as well. The other claimants are not parties to this agreement andat this moment it is not possible to assess the outcome of these claims nor to provide an estimate of the (potential) effect of these claims.".
  2. The following new paragraph entitled "Russian claims" shall be inserted at the end of the section entitled "General Information - Litigation" beginning on page 90 of the Registration Document:
    "Russian claims: Several ING entities have received claims from, and are involved in litigation with, certain Russia-linked entities. They claim the payment of principal or interest or other amounts that they have not received pursuant to sanctions. Claims are also made related to the settlement of contracts that have been terminated after sanctions were imposed. We do not agree with these claims, as they do not comply with the underlying contracts or applicable laws, including sanctions. We follow IFRS rules for taking legal provisions and would disclose material amounts in that regard if and when applicable which currently is not the case.".
