ING Announces Title Sponsorship of ING Belgian Grand Prix

June 13, 2007

-- Two-Year Title Sponsorship of ING Australian GP Also
Confirmed

    LONDON, June 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- ING is
reinforcing its commitment to F1 with the announcement of
the title sponsorship of the Belgian Grand Prix, to be held
at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit on September 14-16th.
Henceforth the race will be known as the ING Belgian Grand
Prix. ING is also pleased to confirm that it will continue
the title sponsorship of the ING Australian Grand Prix,
held in Melbourne, for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.

    ING's global 'on track' branding campaign is a key
element supporting the sponsorship of the ING Renault F1
Team. ING has an active on-track branding presence at 14 of
the 17 Grand Prix races, including title sponsorship of the
ING Australian Grand Prix, and the ING Belgian Grand Prix.

    Together with its global online, print and TV
advertising campaign, 'on track' sponsorship, and the title
sponsorship of the ING Renault F1 Team, ING is rapidly
building awareness as one of the leading global financial
institutions providing Banking, Insurance and Asset
Management services to over 60 million customers in 50
countries across the world. The combination also reinforces
ING's position as the leading F1 sponsor.

    Isabelle M. Conner, ING Renault F1 Programme Director
for ING, said:

    "After the Netherlands, Belgium is ING's second
home market. The sponsorship of the Belgian Grand Prix fits
extremely well with ING's presence in the Benelux countries.
And of course, the Belgian GP is well known as being one of
the most exciting and historic races in the GP
calendar."

    "We are also delighted to renew our title
sponsorship of the ING Australian Grand Prix for a further
2 years. The 2007 race in Melbourne was highly successful
for us in building our brand profile, and has added value
as the first race of each season, generating a huge amount
of interest and exposure."

    The 'on track' branding package will provide extensive
trackside branding, together with branding of the track
entrance and all ticketing and products produced by the
circuit for the Grand Prix. The value of the package is not
disclosed.

    ING will have 'on track' branding at the following
circuits for the remainder of the 2007 season:

    -- Montreal, Canada, 8-10th June
    -- Magny-Cours, France 29-1st July
    -- Nurburgring, Germany, 20-22nd July
    -- Hungaoring, Hungary, 3-5th August
    -- Istanbul, Turkey, 24-26th August
    -- Monza, Italy 7-9th September
    -- ING Belgian Grand Prix, Spa, Belgium, 14-16th
