ING Groep said on Monday 8 June that it will appoint Andrea Cesaroni as chief risk officer, and that he joins the Management Board Banking with effect from that day. Cesaroni will join the group's Executive Board following the extraordinary general meeting scheduled for 31 July 2026, ING said.

Cesaroni has been head of Risk ad interim since 24 February 2026, reporting to the CFO. He succeeds Ljiljana Čortan, who has moved to lead ING's Wholesale Banking business. 

#### INTERNAL PROMOTION

Cesaroni joined ING in 2022 as head of Integrated Risk, with overall responsibility for the group's risk management policies, frameworks and governance, including ESG risk, risk modelling and the capital adequacy process. CEO Steven van Rijswijk called Cesaroni "an excellent internal successor with a strong track record of leadership and execution".

Cesaroni has more than 25 years of experience in financial services and risk management. He joined ING from UniCredit, where he was head of Group Financial Risk and later head of Group Risk Models & Credit Risk Governance; before that he was a consultant at Deloitte and Arthur Andersen.

#### BOARD APPOINTMENT AT EGM

The Executive Board appointment is subject to the customary shareholder approval at the 31 July EGM. The Supervisory Board will propose his appointment to shareholders; it takes effect at the end of the EGM, when Čortan steps down from the Executive Board. The European Central Bank has already approved the appointment.

Čortan became head of Wholesale Banking on 24 February 2026\. Details of the appointment, including biographical background, were filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 6-K and published on ING's corporate communications channels. ING said full details of the proposed appointment were included in the EGM proxy materials already available on its website. ING Bank's more than 60,000 employees offer retail and wholesale banking services to customers in over 100 countries.
