On July 1, 2025, Stichting Pensioenfonds Staples entered into an agreement with Aegon Levensverzekering, a subsidiary of a.s.r., for the transfer of the accrued pensions of its participants. As a result, the fund is in liquidation.
Due to this liquidation, the board has ceased to exist and has been transformed into a Board of Liquidators. All directors have been appointed to this Board of Liquidators, which consists of eight members.

The Board of Liquidators is independent and must take into account the requirements of the law and the interests of all parties involved when making decisions. This is clearly laid down in the Pensions Act. All pension funds and insurers are supervised by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB) and the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM).

Article 105 of the Netherlands Pensions Act stipulates suitability requirements for all persons associated with the governance bodies of a pension fund. In addition, every pension fund has a Suitability Plan, which sets out the quality of knowledge, the skills and the decision-making capacity of the members of the Board of Trustees. Part of the Suitability Plan is the Training Plan, which utilises the training possibilities of training institutes that are approved by DNB. The required level of knowledge and skill is checked and evaluated regularly via an independent audit.
