March 1, 2010 (FinancialWire) — Dutch insurer Aegon (NYSE: AEG) common shares are scheduled to be delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange on March 27th, 2010. According to the company, all trading in Aegon common shares will cease from that date.

According to a company statement, the move follows the Tokyo Stock Exchange’s decision to approve Aegon’s application for a delisting, which was filed in February.

Aegon shares continue to be listed on Euronext Amsterdam, the New York Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange.

Aegon said it applied for a delisting after deciding the volume of shares traded on the Tokyo Stock Exchange did not justify the related expense.

Netherlands-based Aegon is an international life insurance, pension and investment company that has businesses in over twenty markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Aegon companies employ approximately 28,000 people and have more than 40 million customers across the globe.
