ABN AMRO files legal demerger documentation with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. has today filed documentation with the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce for a legal demerger in The Netherlands and in Belgium. The demerger proposals outline the legal process for the transfer of the majority of the Dutch State acquired businesses into a separate legal entity, which will remain wholly owned by ABN AMRO Holding N.V. until it is legally transferred out of ABN AMRO Group.

The demerger proposals (excluding the description of assets and liabilities) and pro forma financial information as of 31 December 2008 and 30 June 2009 reflecting the impact of the legal transfers and demergers on ABN AMRO Bank N.V. are available on the ABN AMRO’s website (www.abnamro.com).  The complete demerger filing, including a description of assets and liabilities to be transferred, is available for consultation at the Amsterdam Chamber of Commerce.

ABN AMRO Holding N.V. was acquired by a consortium of banks through RFS Holdings B.V. on 17 October 2007. The consortium consisted of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group (38%), Fortis Bank (34%) and Banco Santander SA (28%). On 24 December 2008 the Fortis Bank Nederland (Holding) N.V. stake in RFS Holdings B.V. was transferred to the Dutch State, following the acquisition by the Dutch State in October 2008 of Fortis Bank Nederland (Holding) N.V., including its stake in RFS Holdings B.V.

ABN AMRO Group has chosen a two-step approach to effect the legal separation of the assets and liabilities acquired by the Dutch State:

·  
Step 1 - “Legal Demerger”: Transferring the majority of the Dutch State acquired businesses from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to a new legal entity, ABN AMRO II N.V.  Some subsidiaries and assets and liabilities are separately transferred to the new legal entity, mostly before the planned legal demerger date.  Following the demergers and the transfer of the Dutch State acquired businesses into the new bank, the existing ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be renamed The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.  The new legal entity comprising the Dutch State acquired businesses will then be renamed ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

·  
Step 2 - “Legal Separation”: Transferring the shares of the renamed ABN AMRO Bank N.V. from ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to a new holding company fully owned by the Dutch State and independent of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (which will be renamed RBS Holdings N.V.)

Until legal separation ABN AMRO Group will continue to be governed by the ABN AMRO Holding N.V. Managing Board and Supervisory Board and regulated on a consolidated basis with capital adequacy, liquidity measures and exposures being reported to and regulated by the Dutch Central Bank.  ABN AMRO capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum tier 1 and total capital ratios of 9% and 12.5% respectively (as set by the Dutch Central Bank during the separation period of ABN AMRO Group) and are adequate to cover for stress scenarios.  ABN AMRO Group continues to comfortably exceed the regulatory liquidity requirements.  ABN AMRO Group and its shareholders have plans in place to ensure that at legal separation each individual bank is adequately capitalized and has a sound liquidity position.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. pro forma demerger financial information

General
 
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. has filed a demerger proposal, of which this document forms part, for the legal demerger of parts of the Dutch State acquired businesses to ABN AMRO II N.V. The legal demergers are performed in two legal demerger processes, both under Dutch law: a demerger of assets and liabilities in the Netherlands referred to as the Dutch demerger, and a demerger of assets and liabilities in Belgium referred to as the Belgian demerger. The demerger proposal also includes the transfer of a number of selected subsidiaries and, alternatively, the transfer of the beneficial title of certain businesses, from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO II N.V. prior to the demergers.
 
The purpose of this document is to provide creditors of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and ABN AMRO II N.V. with pro forma financial information allowing an assessment, before and after legal transfers and demergers, of the impact of the (legal) transfers and demergers on ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and on ABN AMRO II N.V.

The pro forma information includes (i) a pro forma Company Income Statement for the year ended 2008, (ii) a pro forma Company Balance Sheet at 30 June 2009, (iii) a pro forma Company Equity Statement at 30 June 2009 and (iv) Notes and Supplementary Information for both ABN AMRO Bank N.V., the demerging company and ABN AMRO II N.V., the acquiring company.

For information in respect of the financial position of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., the parent company of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., reference is made to the interim financial report dated 26 August 2009 and to the 2008 annual report, available on the ABN AMRO website (www.abnamro.com).

The ABN AMRO Holding N.V. interim financial report provides information on the externally reported segments, including the Dutch State acquired businesses. The major part of these Dutch State acquired businesses are proposed to be legally demerged and transferred in accordance with this proposal to ABN AMRO II N.V., also a fully owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO Holding N.V.

The interim financial report also provides information on the capital and liquidity position of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., that has provided a guarantee to both ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and to ABN AMRO II N.V. until the latter is legally separated from ABN AMRO Group.  ABN AMRO Group continues to be well funded and capitalised. The Group’s capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum tier 1 and total capital ratios of 9% and 12.5% respectively as set by the Dutch Central Bank during the transition and separation period of ABN AMRO Group. ABN AMRO Group continues to comfortably exceed the regulatory liquidity requirements.

RBS and the Dutch State continue to work towards the legal separation of the Dutch State acquired businesses from the residual RBS acquired businesses into two separate viable banks, each with its own banking license, applications for which have been submitted to the Dutch Central Bank, and each adequately capitalised at the time of separation.

Legal demerger will occur upon transfer of the Dutch State acquired businesses out of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., the demerging entity, into a separate legal entity ABN AMRO II N.V., a fully owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. that was incorporated and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce earlier in 2009.  Legal separation out of the ABN AMRO Group will occur when ABN AMRO II N.V. is separated from ABN AMRO Group and functions as a new independent bank. This is aimed to be achieved a few months after the legal demerger has been effected.

Until final legal separation ABN AMRO Group will continue to be governed by the ABN AMRO Holding N.V. Managing Board and Supervisory Board and regulated on a consolidated basis with capital ratios, liquidity measures and exposures being reported to and regulated by the Dutch Central Bank. All steps in the legal demerger and separation process are subject to approval of the Dutch Central Bank.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. pro forma demerger financial information

Pro forma financial information on the demerging company ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

General
 
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., which has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. that have been incurred. This guarantee includes all securities issued by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands and has its statutory seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and its registered office at Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, the Netherlands. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is registered with the Trade Register of the Chambers of Commerce under number 33002587.
 
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. utilizes an exemption in the Dutch and United States regulation and therefore does not prepare, nor file a full set of financial statements, including consolidated financial statements in the Netherlands or with the US Securities Exchange Commission. In the 2008 Annual Report of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. condensed consolidating financial information for (i) ABN AMRO Holding N.V., on a standalone basis as guarantor; (ii) ABN AMRO Bank N.V. on a standalone basis; (iii) other subsidiaries of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. on a combined basis; (iv) consolidation adjustments; and total consolidated amounts are presented on the pages 211 to 217. Abbreviated Company Financial Statements of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. for the year 2008 have been filed with the Chamber of Commerce on 8 July 2009 and are included as appendices to this pro forma financial information.

Following the transfer of selected entities into ABN AMRO II N.V. and the Dutch demerger of assets and liabilities to ABN AMRO II N.V., ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be renamed to The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. (hereafter “RBS N.V.”). For RBS N.V. an application for a renewal of the existing banking license has been filed.

Basis for Presentation
 
As more than six months have passed since the last financial year of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., 2008, for which financial statements have been adopted, interim financial statements have been prepared for ABN AMRO Bank N.V., the demerging company. The pro forma financial information prepared includes a pro forma income statement, a pro forma balance sheet and a pro forma statement of equity reflecting the 2008 results and the financial positions at 30 June 2009 on a pro forma basis and including the impact of the demergers and other transactions planned prior to the demergers of ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
 
ABN AMRO Bank N.V.'s financial position at 30 June 2009 and the 2008 income statement do not include all of the information required for annual financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as adopted by the European Union and also do not include all information required for interim financial statements complying with IAS 34 ‘Interim financial statements’.
 
In preparing the pro forma financial information, the same accounting principles and methods of computation were applied as in the consolidated financial statements of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. for the year ended 31 December 2008, which include the financial information of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. on a fully consolidated basis. Please refer to pages 99 to 118 of ABN AMRO Holding N.V.’s 2008 Annual Report for the description of the accounting policies.

The pro forma income statement only includes the results from continuing operations; the results from discontinued operations are not reflected, as these results relate to businesses that have already been transferred out of ABN AMRO Group.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. pro forma demerger financial information
 
Notes to the pro forma financial information ABN AMRO Bank N.V.


1           Transfers

The column “Transfers and capital actions” includes the effect of the transfer of certain subsidiaries (or businesses) and branches including certain Private Clients and International Diamonds & Jewellery Group business activities from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO II N.V. as part of the restructuring prior to the date of the legal demerger of materially all Dutch State acquired businesses in ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

Prior to the Dutch and Belgian demergers, selected subsidiaries of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V. These subsidiaries will be transferred at net asset value to ABN AMRO II N.V. in exchange for promissory notes which will be distributed in kind by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. prior to the date of the legal demerger from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. The equivalent value in equity will be invested by ABN AMRO Holding N.V. in ABN AMRO II N.V. in accordance with the ABN AMRO Holding N.V.’s accounting policy in respect of common control transactions. The transactions relate to ABN AMRO Private Clients Holding B.V., including most of the international private clients activities incorporated in subsidiaries of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., New HBU II N.V., Delta Lloyd ABN AMRO Verzekeringen Holding B.V. including the joint venture with Delta Lloyd and Amstel Lease Maatschappij N.V.

As to New HBU II N.V., alternatively, rather than selling and transferring the shares in this company, it is also being considered to have New HBU II N.V. legally merged into ABN AMRO Bank N.V.  It is additionally being considered to, prior to this merger, sell and transfer the beneficial title (economische gerechtigdheid) to its entire business or ABN AMRO Bank N.V.’s interest therein, to ABN AMRO II N.V. in exchange for a receivable and subsequently distribute such receivable to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. prior to the demerger becoming effective. This alternative restructuring of New HBU II N.V. is considered in order to ease a potential later sales process to comply with the requirements of the European Commission. The pro forma financial information does not reflect this alternative structuring.

2           Capital actions

On 2 July, 2009 the Dutch Parliament approved the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands plans to acquire a EUR 800 million Mandatory Convertible Tier-1 Security (MCS) to be issued by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. This Security was issued on 31 July 2009 by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. At the time of ABN AMRO II N.V. transferring out of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., the security will mandatorily convert into common equity of ABN AMRO II N.V.

The Mandatory Convertible Tier-1 Security pays a 10% coupon. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. may defer coupons at any time. In case ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is in breach of minimum capital adequacy requirements, as set by Dutch Central Bank, coupon payments must be deferred.

Furthermore, the Dutch Parliament has on 2 July 2009 approved that the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands enters into a Credit Default Swap agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. This agreement has been signed on 31 July 2009 and became effective on 31 August 2009. Through this arrangement ABN AMRO Bank N.V. has purchased credit protection, for a fee of 51.5 bps p.a. on the outstanding portfolio amount, currently EUR 34.5 billion of own originated residential mortgages. Under the agreement losses will be shared pari passu between ABN AMRO Bank N.V. for 5% and Dutch State for 95%, with a first loss for ABN AMRO Bank N.V. of 20 bps p.a. This credit default swap will reduce the risk-weighted assets of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. by EUR 19 billion.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. pro forma demerger financial information
 
If required to maintain the solvency ratios as set by the Dutch Central Bank, ABN AMRO Holding N.V. will inject further capital into ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

The effects of the above capital actions on ABN AMRO Bank N.V. are reflected in the pro forma financial information under “Transfers and capital actions”.

3           Guarantee from ABN AMRO II N.V.

Following the transfer of the selected subsidiaries (or businesses) as part of the structuring of the demerger transaction, ABN AMRO Bank N.V. enters into a guarantee transaction with ABN AMRO II N.V. to guarantee approximately EUR 15 billion of assets. The impact of this transaction is the equivalent of a positive EUR 1.1 billion Tier 1 capital for ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and an equivalent negative EUR 1.4 billion of Tier 1 capital for ABN AMRO II N.V. The reason for this transaction is to ensure continuing adequate capitalisation of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. following the transfer of subsidiaries (or businesses) noted under (1) above and before the legal demerger is effected.

The effect of this guarantee on ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is also reflected in the pro forma financial information as “Transfers and capital actions”.

4           Dividend proposal

Subject to regulatory approval, the Managing Board of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. has proposed and the Supervisory Board has approved the payment of a dividend of EUR 6.5 billion, to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to enable ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to pay a dividend of EUR 6.5 billion to RFS Holdings B.V. for capital repatriation to its shareholder Banco Santander S.A., relating to realised proceeds from the 2008 sale of the Santander acquired businesses. The effect of approved dividend payment has been reflected as “Transfers and capital actions” in the pro forma financial information.

5           Dutch demerger

Materially all of the Netherlands parts of the Dutch State acquired businesses will be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V. in a legal demerger (with the exception of the transfer of the four subsidiaries (or businesses) referred to above in note 1 Transfers).

Insofar as and to the extent that the legal ownership of any assets, liabilities, rights, obligations or legal relationships reflected in the description attached to the Demerger Proposal cannot be transferred by means of a legal demerger to ABN AMRO II N.V. due to governing law or contractual constraints, then the economic ownership of those assets, liabilities, rights, obligations and legal relationships will to the greatest extent possible transfer to ABN AMRO II N.V. pursuant to the legal demerger. The effects of the legal demerger and the transfer of economic ownership on the financial figures are reflected as “Dutch demerger“.

6           Pro forma ABN AMRO Bank N.V. after Dutch demerger

This pro forma financial information represents the financial figures of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., after the effects of transfers, capital actions and the Dutch demerger but before the Belgian demerger, including the intercompany elimination effects.

The 2008 income statement of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. includes results related to the transition of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. that are not expected to reoccur in the future. Reference is made to the 2008 Annual Report of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to Section 2 Operating Review for an analysis of the 2008 results of

ABN AMRO Holding N.V. The pro forma income statement has not been adjusted to exclude the effects from any non-recurring items.

7           Belgian demerger

The legal demerger of the Belgian Private Clients and International Diamonds & Jewellery Group business is executed in a separate demerger process, with separate legal documentation under Dutch law. This demerger is executed after the demerger of the Netherlands business. The effects of this legal demerger on the financial figures are reflected as “Belgian demerger” and include a capital injection of EUR 15 million in the Belgium branch.

8           Pro forma ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

The pro forma financial information represents the financial figures of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., after the effects of transfers, capital actions and both legal demerger transactions, including the intercompany elimination effects.


Supplementary information ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

Cross liability

Under article 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., after legal demerger, will remain liable to the creditors which transferred from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO II N.V. in the event that ABN AMRO II N.V. cannot meet its obligation to those creditors.

The liability relates only to obligations existing at the date of legal demerger. The liability will cease to exist upon expiration of the obligations. ABN AMRO Bank N.V.'s liability is limited to the equity retained at legal demerger, amounting to EUR 2,487 million in the pro forma financial information.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. has put in place arrangements to mitigate the risks of the liability to the creditors which transferred from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO II N.V. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will hold the regulatory capital agreed with the Dutch Central Bank for any residual risks.

Similarly under Article 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code, ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is under certain circumstances liable to the creditors which have transferred from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to New HBU II N.V. on 7 August 2008. This liability amounts to approximately EUR 1.9 billion at 30 June 2009. The alternative restructuring of New HBU II N.V. as described in note 1 could eliminate this liability.

RBS Asset Protection Scheme

Her Majesty's Treasury in the United Kingdom intends to enter into an agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc on guaranteeing losses on certain identified RBS acquired assets of ABN AMRO Group. A part of the assets relate to assets held by ABN AMRO Bank N.V., which are not included in the demerger or transfer process. The agreement with the UK Treasury does not impact ABN AMRO Bank N.V., however The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc intends to enter into a guarantee agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. for the same identified assets. The potential impact of this intended guarantee agreement on the risk weighted assets of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is not included in this pro forma financial information.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. pro forma demerger financial information
 
Entities and assets and liabilities not part of demerger

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will, after the transfers and Dutch and Belgian demergers, continue to include assets and liabilities that have not yet been allocated to, or divided up between the consortium shareholders, the so-called “Shared Assets”, in which each of the consortium shareholders has an indirect interest. The net asset value of these assets and liabilities amounts to EUR 6,748 million negative at 30 June 2009. In the legal demerger, capital related to the demerged and transferred businesses will demerge and capital for the Dutch State interest in the Shared Assets will remain in ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

Furthermore a number of assets and liabilities included in some Private Clients and International Diamonds & Jewellery Group businesses in branches and subsidiaries of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. in South Africa, India, USA, Gibraltar, United Kingdom and China are not part of the transfers or the demergers. These will be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V., as soon as possible after the effective date of the demerger, when all required technical and regulatory separation activities are completed and approvals have been obtained, while some minor activities of these businesses will be discontinued and will therefore not transfer to ABN AMRO II N.V. The International Diamonds & Jewellery Group activities, included in the Japan branch that in July 2009 transferred to The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, will also at a later stage be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V. The total 2008 operating revenue of these entities amounts to EUR 82 million and the total assets EUR 823 million at 30 June 2009.

Any structured transaction related assets and liabilities, for which approval from a third party is necessary but will not be obtained prior to the legal demerger, are not part of the transfers and demergers, but will be separately transferred as soon as approvals are available. The economic ownership will however, to the greatest extent possible transfer to ABN AMRO II N.V. pursuant to the legal demerger.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and ABN AMRO II N.V. reached agreements on the principles for the availability for ABN AMRO II N.V. of the security rights connected with client relationships to be demerged to ABN AMRO II N.V.

ABN AMRO II N.V. is registered with the Trade Register of the Chambers of Commerce under number 34334259.

ABN AMRO II N.V., the acquiring company, is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., which has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations of ABN AMRO II N.V. that have been incurred. As a result of the guarantee received from ABN AMRO Holding N.V., ABN AMRO II N.V. is exempt from preparing a full set of financial statements. The guarantee for ABN AMRO II N.V. will be withdrawn at legal separation of ABN AMRO II N.V. out of ABN AMRO Group.

Following the transfer of selected entities into ABN AMRO II N.V. and the Dutch demerger of assets and liabilities to ABN AMRO II N.V., ABN AMRO II N.V. will be renamed to ABN AMRO Bank N.V. ABN AMRO II N.V. has applied for a banking license with the Dutch Central Bank. The confirmation of the banking license is expected in due course.
 
After the transfers and the Dutch and Belgian demerger of assets and liabilities, ABN AMRO II N.V. materially comprises the Dutch State acquired businesses in ABN AMRO Holding N.V., which include materially all of the activities in the Netherlands, with the exception of the RBS acquired Global Markets and Global Clients businesses in the Netherlands, and also include the international Private Clients and International Diamonds & Jewellery Group activities.

The International Diamonds & Jewellery Group activities included in the Japan branch that in July 2009 transferred to The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc will at a later stage be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V. These activities are not significant.

Basis for Presentation
 
The first financial year since incorporation has not yet passed and therefore an interim balance sheet and a statement of equity have been prepared at 30 June 2009.
 
The pro forma financial information prepared include a 2008 pro forma income statement, a pro forma balance sheet and a pro forma statement of equity reflecting the financial positions at 30 June 2009 on a pro forma basis including i) the impact of the demerger and ii) other transactions planned prior to the demerger of ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

ABN AMRO II N.V.'s financial position at 30 June 2009 and the income statement on a pro forma basis do not include all of the information required for annual financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, as adopted by the European Union and also do not include all information required for interim financial statements complying with IAS 34 ‘Interim financial statements’.

In preparing the pro forma financial information, the same accounting principles and methods of computation were applied as in the consolidated financial statements of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. for the year ended at 31 December 2008, which include the financial information of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. on a

fully consolidated basis. Please refer to pages 99 to 118 of ABN AMRO Holding N.V.’s 2008 Annual Report for the description of the accounting policies.

The pro forma income statement only includes the results from continuing operations; the results from discontinued operations are not reflected, as these results relate to businesses that have already been transferred out of ABN AMRO Group.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. pro forma demerger financial information

Notes to the pro forma financial information ABN AMRO II N.V.

1           Transfers

The column “Transfers and capital actions” includes the effects of the transfer of certain subsidiaries (or businesses) and branches including certain Private Clients and International Diamonds & Jewellery Group business activities from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO II N.V. as part of the restructuring prior to the date of the legal demerger of materially all Dutch State acquired businesses to ABN AMRO II N.V.

Prior to the Dutch and Belgian demergers, selected subsidiaries of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V. These subsidiaries will be transferred at net asset value to ABN AMRO II N.V. in exchange of promissory notes which will subsequently be distributed in kind by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. prior to the legal demerger. The equivalent value in equity will be invested by ABN AMRO Holding N.V. in ABN AMRO II N.V. in accordance with ABN AMRO Holding’s accounting policy in respect of common control transactions. The transactions relate to ABN AMRO Private Clients Holding B.V., including most of the international private clients activities incorporated in subsidiaries of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., New HBU II N.V., Delta Lloyd ABN AMRO Verzekeringen Holding B.V. including the joint venture with Delta Lloyd and Amstel Lease Maatschappij N.V.

As to New HBU II N.V., alternatively, rather than selling and transferring the shares in this company, it is also being considered to have New HBU II N.V. legally merged into ABN AMRO Bank N.V.  It is additionally being considered to, prior to this merger, sell and transfer the beneficial title (economische gerechtigdheid) to its entire business or ABN AMRO Bank N.V.’s interest therein, to ABN AMRO II N.V. in exchange for a receivable and subsequently distribute such receivable to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. prior to the demerger becoming effective. This alternative restructuring of New HBU II N.V. is considered in order to ease a potential later sales process to comply with the requirements of the European Commission. The pro forma financial information does not reflect this alternative structuring.
 
2           Capital actions
 
On 2 July, 2009 the Dutch Parliament approved the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands plans to acquire a EUR 800 million Mandatory Convertible Tier-1 Security (MCS) to be issued by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. This Security was issued on 31 July 2009 by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. At the time of ABN AMRO II N.V. transferring out of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., the security will mandatorily convert into common equity of ABN AMRO II N.V.

The Mandatory Convertible Tier-1 Security pays a 10% coupon. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. may defer coupons at any time. In case ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is in breach of minimum capital adequacy requirements, as set by Dutch Central Bank, coupon payments must be deferred.

Furthermore, the Dutch Parliament has on 2 July 2009 approved that the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands enters into a Credit Default Swap agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. This agreement has been signed on 31 July 2009 and became effective on 31 August 2009. Through this arrangement ABN AMRO Bank N.V. has purchased credit protection, for a fee of 51.5 basis points per annum on the outstanding portfolio amount, currently EUR 34.5 billion of own originated residential mortgages. Under the agreement losses will be shared pari passu between ABN AMRO Bank N.V. for 5% and Dutch State for 95%, with a first loss for ABN AMRO Bank N.V. of 20 basis points per annum. This credit default swap has reduced the risk-weighted assets of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. by EUR 19 billion.

3           Guarantee to ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

Following the transfer of the selected subsidiaries as part of the structuring of the demerger transaction, ABN AMRO II N.V. enters into a guarantee transaction with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to guarantee approximately EUR 15 billion of assets. The impact of this transaction is the equivalent of a
 
17

positive EUR 1.1 billion Tier 1 capital for ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and an equivalent negative EUR 1.4 billion of Tier 1 capital for ABN AMRO II N.V.

The effect of this guarantee on ABN AMRO II N.V. is also reflected in the pro forma financial information as “Transfers and capital actions”.

4           Dutch demerger

Materially all of the Netherlands parts of the Dutch State acquired businesses will be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V. in a legal demerger with the exception of the transfer of the four subsidiaries (or businesses) referred to above in note 1 Transfers.

Insofar and to the extent that the legal ownership of any assets, liabilities, rights, obligations or legal relationships cannot be transferred by means of a legal demerger to ABN AMRO II N.V. due to governing law or contractual constraints, then the economic ownership of those assets, liabilities, rights, obligations and legal relationships reflected in the Description attached to the Demerger Proposal will to the greatest extent possible transfer to ABN AMRO II N.V. pursuant to the legal demerger. The effects of the legal demerger and the transfer of economic ownership on the financial figures are reflected as “Dutch demerger”.

5           Pro forma ABN AMRO II N.V. after Dutch demerger

This pro forma financial information represents the financial figures of ABN AMRO II N.V., after the effects of transfers, capital actions and the Dutch demerger but before the Belgian demerger, including the intercompany elimination effects.

The 2008 income statement of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. includes results related to the transition of ABN AMRO Group that are not expected to reoccur in the future. Reference is made to the 2008 Annual Report of ABN AMRO Group to Section 2 Operating Review for an analysis of the 2008 results of ABN AMRO Group. The pro forma income statement has not been adjusted to exclude the effects from these non-recurring items.

6           Belgian demerger

The legal demerger of the Belgian business acquired by the Dutch State is executed in a separate demerger process, with separate legal documentation. This demerger is executed after the demerger of the Netherlands business. The effects of this legal demerger on the financial figures are reflected as “Belgian demerger” and include a capital injection of EUR 15 million in the Belgium branch.

7           Pro forma ABN AMRO II N.V.

The pro forma financial information represents the financial figures of ABN AMRO II N.V., after the effects of transfers, capital actions and both legal demerger transactions, including the intercompany elimination effects.

8           Share capital

The authorized outstanding and issued share capital of ABN AMRO II N.V. at incorporation on 9 April 2009 consists of 45 shares, each share having a nominal value of EUR 1,000.

At the time of the legal demerger, the authorized outstanding share capital will be increased to 2 billion shares of EUR 1 nominal value each.

In exchange for the net asset value of the Dutch demerger of EUR 1,920 million, 499,954,999 shares will be allotted by ABN AMRO II N.V.

In exchange for the net asset value of the Belgian demerger of EUR 15 million, one share will be allotted by ABN AMRO II N.V.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. pro forma demerger financial information
 
A second legal demerger is being considered to further effect the transfer of the Dutch State acquired businesses to ABN AMRO II N.V. to be effected at or post legal separation. This legal demerger relates to the demerger from ABN AMRO Holding N.V. to ABN AMRO II N.V. of an amount of cash and any liability pursuant to the statement as referred in section 2:403 paragraph 1 sub f of the Dutch Civil Code, including the remaining liabilities as referred to in section 2:404 of the Dutch Civil Code, to the extent it concerns liabilities arising out of legal acts from ABN AMRO II N.V., the demerged and transferred subsidiaries and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to the extent it relates to the split-off to ABN AMRO II N.V. pursuant to this demerger.


Supplementary information ABN AMRO II N.V.

Cross liability

Under article 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code ABN AMRO II N.V., after legal demerger, will remain liable to the creditors of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. that remain in ABN AMRO Bank N.V., in the event that ABN AMRO Bank N.V. cannot meet its obligations with those creditors.

The liability relates only to obligations existing as at date of legal demerger. The liability will cease to exist upon expiration of the obligations. ABN AMRO II N.V.'s liability to creditors is limited to the amount of equity acquired at legal demerger, which amounts to EUR 1,935 million in the pro forma financial information.

ABN AMRO II N.V. has put in place arrangements to mitigate the risks of the liability to the creditors which remain with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. ABN AMRO II N.V. will hold the regulatory capital agreed with the Dutch Central Bank for any residual risks.

Similarly under Article 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code, New HBU II N.V. is under certain circumstances liable to the creditors of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. following the demerger from ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to new HBU II N.V. on 7 August 2008. This liability amounts to approximately EUR 0.9 billion at 30 June 2009. The alternative restructuring of New HBU II N.V. as described in note 1 could eliminate this liability.

Entities and assets and liabilities not part of demerger

A number of assets and liabilities included in some Private Clients and International Diamonds & Jewellery Group businesses in branches and subsidiaries of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. in South Africa, India, United States, Gibraltar, United Kingdom and China are not part of the transfers and the demergers. These will be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V. as soon as possible after the effective date of demerger, when all technical and regulatory separation activities are completed and approvals have been obtained, while some minor activities of these businesses will be discontinued and will therefore not transfer to ABN AMRO II N.V.  The International Diamonds & Jewellery Group activities, included in the Japan branch that in July 2009 transferred to The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc, will at a later stage be transferred to ABN AMRO II N.V. The total operating revenue of these entities amounts to EUR 82 million and the total assets EUR 823 million at 30 June 2009.

Any structured transaction related assets and liabilities, for which approval from a third party is necessary but will not be obtained prior to the legal demerger, are not part of the transfers and demergers, but will be separately transferred as soon as approvals have been obtained. The economic ownership will however, to the greatest extent possible transfer to ABN AMRO II N.V. pursuant to the legal demerger.

ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and ABN AMRO II N.V. reached agreements on the principles for the availability for ABN AMRO II N.V. of the security rights connected with client relationships to be demerged to ABN AMRO II N.V.

Basis of presentation
 
On the basis of article 403 of part 9 of the Netherlands Civil Code ABN AMRO Bank N.V. is not required to publish financial statements. Only abbreviated financial statements need to be drawn up and approved by the company directors. The shareholders of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. have agreed to this in a declaration of consent, dated 28 April 2009 and filed with the Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam. Furthermore a statement of liability by the parent company (ABN AMRO Holding N.V.) is filed with the Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam. The assets and liabilities and the income statement of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. are fully consolidated in the 2008 consolidated financial statements of ABN AMRO Holding N.V., which are included in the 2008 Annual Report dated 24 March 2009.

The income statement and balance sheet as presented on the next two pages are derived from the presentation of the ABN AMRO Bank N.V. income statement and balance sheet on page 212 to 214 of the ABN AMRO Holding N.V. 2008 Annual Report, dated 24 March 2009.
The difference of EUR 9,681 million between Profit for the year in the ABN AMRO Bank N.V. Company income statement for 2008 amounting to EUR (6,101) million and the Profit for the year as per the ABN AMRO Holding N.V. Supplemental condensed consolidating statement of income 2008 amounting to EUR 3,580 million mainly relates to the gain on sale of Banco Real and other Santander acquired businesses which was recognised in ABN AMRO Holding N.V. rather than in ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
An unqualified auditor’s report was provided on the 2008 consolidated financial statements of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. included in that Annual Report.
 
The consolidated financial statements of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. for the year ended 31 December 2008 are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’) as adopted by the European Union (‘EU’) and IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (‘IASB’) and do not utilise the portfolio hedging carve out permitted by the EU. Accordingly the accounting policies applied by the Group   fully comply with IFRS.
 
In preparing the enclosed financial information in respect of ABN AMRO Bank N.V., the same accounting principles and methods of computation are applied as in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2008 and for the year then ended of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. We refer to page 99 to 118 of the ABN AMRO Holding N.V. 2008 Annual Report for the description of the accounting policies.
 
Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. This includes the restatement for the classification of the Banco Real and other Santander acquired businesses as discontinued operations.

Drawn up by the management boards of:

ABN AMRO Bank N.V., een naamloze vennootschap, statutair gevestigd te Amsterdam en kantoorhoudende te Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, ingeschreven in het Handelsregister van de Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken voor Amsterdam, onder nummer: 33002587 (de Splitsende Vennootschap); en

ABN AMRO Bank N.V., a company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, having its official seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its office address at Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries for Amsterdam under number: 33002587 (the Demerging Company); and

ABN AMRO II N.V., a company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, having its official seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its office address at Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries for Amsterdam under number: 34334259 (the Acquiring Company),
       
de Splitsende Vennootschap en de Verkrijgende Vennootschap hierna ook tezamen aangeduid als: de Vennootschappen
   
the Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company are hereinafter jointly also referred to as: the Companies.
 

 
In aanmerking nemende dat:
   
Considering that:
       
(A)         Op 29 mei 2007 heeft een consortium bestaande uit Fortis N.V. en Fortis S.A./N.V. (hierna gezamenlijk: Fortis), Banco Santander S.A. (hierna: Santander) en The Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc. (hierna: RBS) (Fortis, Santander en RBS hierna gezamenlijk ook aan te duiden als: het Consortium) middels een door deze drie partijen gezamenlijk gehouden vennootschap RFS Holdings B.V. (hierna: RFS) een openbaar bod uitgebracht op alle aandelen van ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (hierna: het Bod), de enig aandeelhouder van de Splitsende Vennootschap. Het Bod werd volledig onvoorwaardelijk verklaard op 10 oktober 2007 en settlement vond vervolgens plaats op 17 oktober 2007.
   
(A)         On 29 May 2007 a consortium comprised of Fortis N.V. and Fortis S.A./N.V. (hereinafter jointly: Fortis), Banco Santander S.A. (hereinafter: Santander) and The Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc. (hereinafter: RBS) (Fortis, Santander and RBS hereinafter: the Consortium) through a jointly held company, RFS Holdings B.V. (hereinafter: RFS) made a public bid for all of the listed shares of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (hereinafter: the Bid). ABN AMRO Holding N.V. in turn is the sole shareholder of the Demerging Company. The Bid was declared wholly unconditional on 10 October 2007 and settlement occurred on 17 October 2007.
       
(B)          De afspraken tussen de leden van het Consortium met betrekking tot het Bod en meer in zijn algemeenheid over de governance van RFS zijn vastgelegd in de Consortium and Shareholders’ Agreement die op 28 mei 2007 is afgesloten, zoals nadien van tijd tot tijd gewijzigd en aangevuld (hierna: de CSA).
   
(B)          The arrangements between the members of the Consortium regarding the Bid and generally the governance of RFS are set out in the Consortium and Shareholders’ Agreement of 28 May 2007 as amended and restated from time to time (hereinafter: the CSA).
       
(C)          De CSA beschrijft de voorwaarden waaronder bepaalde activa en passiva van ABN AMRO Holding N.V. en hun dochtermaatschappijen en ondernemingen (waaronder de
   
(C)          Furthermore, the CSA sets out the terms on which the transfer of certain assets and liabilities of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. and its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings (including

Splitsende Vennootschap) aan ieder lid van het Consortium zullen worden geleverd. De CSA beschrijft tevens op welke wijze nadere regelingen zullen worden geïmplementeerd ten aanzien van die delen van de ABN AMRO groep die aan geen enkel lid van het Consortium worden overgedragen.
   
the Demerging Company) to each Consortium member would be procured and how certain arrangements would be implemented with respect to other parts of the ABN AMRO group that are not to be transferred to any Consortium member.
       
(D)         Op 26 juli 2007 is Fortis Bank Nederland (Holding) N.V. (hierna: FBNH) als partij tot de CSA toegetreden. Op 3 oktober 2008 is, als gevolg van de nationalisatie van Fortis in Nederland, de Staat der Nederlanden indirect aandeelhouder in RFS geworden. De Staat der Nederlanden heeft de facto de positie van FBNH en Fortis onder de CSA overgenomen. Op 24 december 2008 is de Staat der Nederlanden formeel als partij toegetreden tot de CSA (door de verkrijging van de aandelen in RFS van FBNH).
   
(D)         On 26 July 2007, Fortis Bank Nederland (Holding) N.V. (hereinafter: FBNH) acceded to the CSA. On 3 October 2008, due to the nationalisation of Fortis in the Netherlands, the State of the Netherlands became an indirect shareholder in RFS. The State of the Netherlands de facto took over the position of FBNH and Fortis under the CSA. On 24 December 2008, the State of the Netherlands formally acceded to the CSA as a party (following its acquisition of shares in RFS from FBNH).
       
(E)          Ten gevolge van de toetreding van de Staat der Nederlanden tot de CSA werd zij gerechtigd tot, onder meer, de ‘F Aandelen’ en de resterende ‘F Onderneming’, zulks zoals gedefinieerd in de statuten van RFS. In de CSA worden deze bedrijfsonderdelen aangeduid als de Fortis Acquired Businesses. De resterende ‘F Onderneming’ bestaat in brede termen uit de niet-grootzakelijke bancaire activiteiten van de Splitsende Vennootschap in de Nederlandse nationale markt, de Private Clients, de International Diamond and Jewellery Group en bepaalde andere activiteiten.
   
(E)           As a result of the accession of the State of the Netherlands to the CSA, it became entitled to, amongst other things, the ‘F Shares’, and the remaining ‘F Business’, both as defined in the articles of RFS. In the CSA these parts of the business are designated as the Fortis Acquired Businesses. In broad terms, the remaining ‘F Business’, generally described, comprises the non-wholesale banking activities of the Demerging Company in the Dutch national market, including private clients and the international diamond and jewellery activities.

(F)          Na effectuering van de splitsing zal de Verkrijgende Vennootschap deze activiteiten voortzetten en haar naam wijzigen in ABN AMRO Bank N.V., terwijl het overige deel van de activiteiten van de Splitsende Vennootschap door de Splitsende Vennootschap zal worden voortgezet, waarbij de naam van die vennootschap bij gelegenheid van de splitsing zal worden gewijzigd in The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.
   
(F)          Following realisation of the demerger the Acquiring Company will continue the activities which are being transferred and change its name to ABN AMRO Bank N.V., whereas the remaining parts of the activities of the Demerging Company will be continued by the Demerging Company, which company following realisation of the demerger will change its name to The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.
       
(G)          Door de aard en omvang van de ‘F onderneming’, die bijvoorbeeld ook een substantieel aantal particuliere rekeninghouders omvat, kunnen de betrokken activiteiten praktisch gezien slechts door een juridische afsplitsing worden overgedragen aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap. Iedere andere transactiestructuur zou inhouden dat elke afzonderlijke klantrelatie, contract en schuld als onderdeel van ‘F Onderneming’ separaat zou moeten worden overgedragen, zulks tegen prohibitief hoge kosten en met de aan de uitvoering van een zodanige omvangrijke activa en passiva transactie inherente significante tijds- en uitvoeringsrisico’s.
   
(G)          Because of the nature and size of the ‘F Business’, which for instance also comprises a large number of private deposit holders, the activities concerned can in practice only be transferred to the Acquiring Company through a legal demerger. Any different transaction structure would require that each separate client relationship, contract and/or debt comprising the ‘F Business’ must be transferred separately, such against prohibitive costs and, considering the size of the assets and liabilities involved, significant inherent timing and execution risks.
       
(H)         De door partijen bij de CSA verkozen transactiestructuur (in algemene zin: een juridische afsplitsing van de niet-grootzakelijke bancaire activiteiten van de Splitsende Vennootschap in de Nederlandse nationale markt alsmede
   
(H)         The transaction structure that was opted for (in general: a legal demerger of the non-wholesale banking activities of the Demerging Company in the Dutch national market as well as separate asset and liability transfers relating to the

de afzonderlijke activa/passiva overdrachten met betrekking tot de private clients en de internationale diamond and jewellery activiteiten) heeft tot doel op de meest efficiënte wijze en tegen de laagst mogelijke kosten tussen de resterende ‘F Onderneming’ die wordt voortgezet door de Verkrijgende Vennootschap en de onderneming die wordt voortgezet door de Splitsende Vennootschap een ontkoppeling tot stand te brengen.
   
private clients and the international diamond and jewellery activities) aims to effect a separation of the remaining ‘F Business’ that will be continued by the Acquiring Company in the most efficient manner possible and against the lowest cost.
       
(I)           De structuur is erop gericht te bewerkstelligen dat na voltooiing van de splitsing en bepaalde afzonderlijke overdrachten twee volwaardige operationele, zelfstandige in de Nederlandse markt opererende banken, ontstaan; te weten The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., zijnde de Splitsende Vennootschap (ná naamswijziging) en de nieuwe ABN AMRO Bank N.V., zijnde de Verkrijgende Vennootschap. De aandelen van de Verkrijgende Vennootschap zullen na effectuering van de juridische splitsing en de overige ontvlechtingsstappen volledig (indirect) door de Staat der Nederlanden worden gehouden.
   
(I)           The structure is aimed at realizing the creation of two fully operational and independent banks in the Dutch market following completion of the demerger and certain separate transfers: The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., being the Demerging Company following the renaming and the new ABN AMRO Bank N.V., being the Acquiring Company. The shares of the Acquiring Company shall following realisation of the legal demerger and the further steps in the separation process eventually be (indirectly) held by the State of the Netherlands.
       
(J)           Voorafgaand aan de splitsing zal een herstructurering van de activiteiten en onderdelen van de Splitsende Vennootschap plaatsvinden. De Verkrijgende Vennootschap is met het oog op de herstructurering en de splitsing opgericht. Bepaalde onderdelen van de Splitsende
   
(J)           A restructuring of the activities and parts of the Demerging Company will be effected prior to the demerger. The Acquiring Company has been formed for the purpose of this restructuring and the legal demerger. In this context, certain parts of the Demerging Company,

Vennootschap, te weten de belangen in New HBU II N.V., ABN AMRO Private Clients Holding B.V., Amstel Lease Maatschappij N.V. en Delta Lloyd ABN Amro Verzekeringen Holding B.V., zullen voorafgaand aan de juridische splitsing aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap verkocht en overgedragen worden tegen schuldigerkenning. De vordering wordt vervolgens uitgekeerd aan ABN AMRO Holding N.V. voordat de splitsing effectief wordt.
Ten aanzien van New HBU II N.V. wordt als alternatief, in plaats van de verkoop en levering van de aandelen in die vennootschap, overwogen om voordat de splitsing effectief wordt New HBU II N.V. juridisch weg te fuseren in de Splitsende Vennootschap (de New HBU II Fusie). Voorts wordt overwogen om voorafgaand aan de eventuele New HBU II Fusie, hetzij New HBU II N.V. de economische gerechtigdheid tot haar gehele onderneming te laten verkopen en leveren aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap tegen schuldigerkenning en vervolgens de vordering in verband met deze verkoop uit te keren aan de Splitsende Vennootschap dan wel de Splitsende Vennootschap de economische gerechtigdheid tot de door haar gehouden aandelen New HBU II N.V. te laten verkopen en leveren aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap tegen schuldigerkenning (de New HBU II Overdracht). De desbetreffende vordering wordt, hetzij voor hetzij na
   
 
namely the interests in New HBU II N.V., ABN AMRO Private Clients Holding B.V., Amstel Lease Maatschappij N.V. and Delta Lloyd ABN Amro Verzekeringen Holding B.V. will be sold and transferred to the Acquiring Company in exchange for a receivable prior to the demerger becoming effective. The receivable will subsequently be distributed to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. prior to the demerger becoming effective.
As to New HBU II N.V., alternatively, rather than selling and transferring the shares in this company, it is also being considered prior to the demerger becoming effective to legally merge New HBU II N.V. into the Demerging Company (the New HBU II Merger). It is furthermore considered, prior to such eventual New HBU II Merger, to either have New HBU II N.V. sell and transfer the beneficial title (economische gerechtigheid) to its entire business to the Acquiring Company in exchange for a receivable and subsequently distribute such receivable to the Demerging Company or have the Demerging Company sell and transfer the beneficial title (economische gerechtigdheid) to the shares it holds in New HBU II N.V. to the Acquiring Company in exchange for a receivable (the New HBU II Transfer). The relevant receivable will be distributed to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. either prior to or following the New HBU II Merger becoming effective, but in any event

de New HBU II Fusie maar in ieder geval voorafgaande aan de splitsing uitgekeerd aan ABN AMRO Holding N.V.
In aanvulling daarop zijn tussen de Verkrijgende en de Splitsende Vennootschap maatregelen getroffen teneinde zeker te stellen dat de nieuw gevormde onafhankelijke banken, The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. en ABN AMRO Bank N.V. nieuw, voldoende gekapitaliseerd zullen blijven en zullen blijven voldoen aan de solvabiliteitseisen van De Nederlandsche Bank N.V.
   
 
prior to the demerger becoming effective.
In addition to this, the Acquiring and Demerging Company have made arrangements to ensure that the newly formed independent banks, The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. new, will continue to remain adequately capitalised and comply with solvency requirements set by the Dutch Central Bank.
       
(K)          De Splitsende Vennootschap en de Verkrijgende Vennootschap hebben afspraken gemaakt over de afwikkeling van vorderingen ex artikel 2:334t van het Burgerlijk Wetboek door de ander en daaruit voortvloeiende vorderingen. Deze afspraken zien op de draagplicht van de Verkrijgende Vennootschap en de Splitsende Vennootschap ter zake daarvan en strekken er primair toe dat crediteuren met inachtneming van artikel 2:334t van het Burgerlijk Wetboek overeenkomstig hun rangorde worden voldaan.
Voorts, ingeval de New HBU II Fusie niet wordt geïmplementeerd, zullen de Splitsende Vennootschap en New HBU II N.V. een overeenkomst aangaan teneinde de bestaande blootstelling terzake artikel 2:334t van het Burgerlijk Wetboek welke haar oorsprong vindt in de juridische splitsingen waarbij New HBU II N.V. in 2008 was betrokken, te mitigeren.
 
   
(K)         The Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company have reached agreements on the settlement of claims ex 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code by the other and claims deriving from this. These agreements concern the obligation to contribute in that respect of the Acquiring Company and the Demerging Company and primarily aim at settling creditors in accordance with their order of priority with due observance of Section 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code.
Further, in case the New HBU II Merger will not be implemented, the Demerging Company and New HBU II N.V. will enter into an agreement to mitigate the existing exposure pursuant to article 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code originating from the statutory demergers involving New HBU II N.V. in 2008.
Finally, the Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company have also reached agreements on the

Ten slotte, hebben de Splitsende Vennootschap en de Verkrijgende Vennootschap tevens afspraken gemaakt omtrent de uitgangspunten voor de beschikbaarheid voor de Verkrijgende Vennootschap van de zekerheidsrechten die verband houden met aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap af te splitsen klantrelaties.
   
 
principles for the availability for the Acquiring Company of the security rights connected with the client relationships to be demerged to the Acquiring Company.
       
(L)         Het is beoogd dat na de splitsing de Splitsende Vennootschap en de Verkrijgende Vennootschap op geconsolideerde basis binnen de ABN AMRO groep van vennootschappen over hetzelfde vermogen zullen beschikken als voorafgaand aan de splitsing. Daartoe zullen, voordat de splitsing effectief wordt, op de aandelen van zowel de Splitsende Vennootschap als de Verkrijgende Vennootschap, door ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (aanvullende) stortingen plaatsvinden, waarbij, onder meer, de voorafgaand aan de splitsing naar ABN AMRO Holding N.V. uitgekeerde vordering of, ingeval van de New HBU II Overdracht, vorderingen op de Verkrijgende Vennootschap terzake van de verkoop/verkopen van de vier hierboven onder (J) genoemde deelnemingen dan wel de drie deelnemingen tezamen met de economische deelgerechtigdheid tot de onderneming of aandelen van New HBU II N.V. zal/zullen worden ingebracht in de Verkrijgende Vennootschap (d.w.z. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. nieuw).
   
(L)          It is intended that following the demerger, the Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company on a consolidated basis within the ABN AMRO group of companies will have the same equity as prior to the demerger. For this purpose, prior to the demerger becoming effective, (additional) contributions shall be made on both the shares of the Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company by ABN AMRO Holding N.V., which will – amongst others –  result in the receivable or, in case of the New HBU II Transfer, receivables on the Acquiring Company following the sale(s) of the four participations referred to above under (J) or (as the case may be) the three participations and the beneficial title to the business or shares of New HBU II N.V. that will be distributed to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. prior to the demerger, again being contributed on the shares of the Acquiring Company (i.e. ABN AMRO Bank N.V. new).

(M)         Onderdeel van de voor de afsplitsing noodzakelijke herstructurering vormt tevens, onder meer, (i) een kapitaaltransactie tussen de Splitsende Vennootschap en de Staat der Nederlanden uit hoofde waarvan ten behoeve van de ‘F-Onderneming’, die voorafgaand aan de splitsing nog onderdeel is van de Splitsende Vennootschap, door converteerbare schuldinstrumenten kapitaal is verstrekt, alsmede (ii) de afsluiting van een ‘credit-default swap’ tussen de Staat der Nederlanden en de Splitsende Vennootschap waardoor de Staat der Nederlanden tegen marktconforme condities bepaalde risico’s van de ‘F-Onderneming’ overneemt. De rechtsverhoudingen die verband houden met de onder (i) hiervoor bedoelde schuldinstrumenten en de onder (ii) hiervoor genoemde ‘credit default swap’ zullen in het kader van de splitsing naar de Verkrijgende Vennootschap, de nieuwe ABN AMRO Bank N.V., overgaan. Na effectuering van de herstructurering, splitsing en overige ontvlechtingsstappen worden genoemde converteerbare schuldinstrumenten geconverteerd in additionele door de Staat der Nederlanden in ABN AMRO Bank N.V. nieuw (indirect) te houden aandelen.
   
(M)         Part of the restructuring which is necessary for the demerger is inter alia formed by (i) a capital transaction between the Demerging Company and the State of the Netherlands pursuant to which the ‘F-Business’, prior to the demerger still part of the Demerging Company, has received capital through convertible debt instruments, as well as (ii) the entering into by the Demerging Company of a ‘credit default swap’ between the Demerging Company and the State of the Netherlands pursuant to which the State of the Netherlands will take over certain risks of the ‘F-Business’. The legal relationships relating to the debt instruments mentioned under (i) before and the credit default swap mentioned under (ii) before shall pass to the Acquiring Company, the new ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as a result of or simultaneously with the legal demerger. Following the completion of the restructuring, demerger and other steps in the disentanglement process the aforementioned convertible debt instruments will be converted in additional shares in the new ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to be held by the State of the Netherlands.
       
(N)         Na voltooiing van de herstructurering en de splitsing zal de Verkrijgende Vennootschap alle rechten en
   
(N)         Following completion of the restructuring and the demerger, the Acquiring Company will hold all

verplichtingen van nagenoeg de gehele ‘F Onderneming’ omvatten. Bij splitsing zal de Verkrijgende Vennootschap nog een volle dochter van ABN AMRO Holding N.V. zijn. Zo snel als redelijkerwijs mogelijk is, zullen de aandelen in de Verkrijgende Vennootschap worden geleverd aan de Staat der Nederlanden of een entiteit (indirect) gehouden door de Staat der Nederlanden.
   
rights and obligations relating to substantially all of the ‘F Business’. At the demerger the Acquiring Company shall still be a full subsidiary of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. The shares in the Acquiring Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable be transferred to the State of the Netherlands or an entity (indirectly) held by the State of the Netherlands.
       
(O)         De Splitsende Vennootschap, zijnde The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. zal een volledige dochter van ABN AMRO Holding N.V. blijven (die na overdracht van de aandelen in de Verkrijgende Vennootschap aan (een entiteit (indirect) gehouden door) de Staat der Nederlanden, haar naam zal wijzigen in RBS Holdings N.V.).
   
(O)          The Demerging Company, The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., will be a full subsidiary of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (which will after transfer of the shares in the Acquiring Company to (an entity (indirectly) held by) the State of the Netherlands, be renamed to RBS Holdings N.V.).

Voorstel tot Splitsing
 
   
Demerger proposal
 
Opgesteld door de raden van bestuur van:
 
   
Drawn up by the management boards of:
(1)
 
ABN AMRO Bank N.V., een naamloze vennootschap, statutair gevestigd te Amsterdam en kantoorhoudende te Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, ingeschreven in het Handelsregister van de Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken voor Amsterdam, onder nummer: 33002587 (de Splitsende Vennootschap); en
   
(1)
 
ABN AMRO Bank N.V., a company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, having its official seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its office address at Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries for Amsterdam under number: 33002587 (the Demerging Company); and
 
(2)
 
ABN AMRO II N.V., een naamloze vennootschap, statutair gevestigd te Amsterdam en kantoorhoudende te Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, ingeschreven in het Handelsregister van de Kamer van Koophandel en Fabrieken voor Amsterdam, onder nummer: 34334259 (de Verkrijgende Vennootschap),
   
(2)
 
ABN AMRO II N.V., a company with limited liability (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands, having its official seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its office address at Gustav Mahlerlaan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, the Netherlands, registered with the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce and Industries for Amsterdam under number: 34334259 (the Acquiring Company),
 
 

 
de Splitsende Vennootschap en de Verkrijgende Vennootschap hierna ook tezamen aangeduid als: de Vennootschappen.
   
the Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company are hereinafter jointly also referred to as: the Companies.
       
In aanmerking nemende dat:
 
   
Considering that:
(A)   Op of voorafgaand aan de datum waarop dit voorstel tot splitsing wordt gedeponeerd ten kantore van het handelsregister van de Kamer van Koophandel voor Amsterdam, heeft een deponering plaatsgevonden van een ander voorstel tot splitsing met betrekking tot een beoogde afsplitsing aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap van andere vermogensbestanddelen van de Splitsende Vennootschap dan die welke onderdeel uit maken van de onderhavige splitsing (de Nederlandse Splitsing).
 
   
(A)   On or before the date of filing of this demerger proposal at the offices of the trade register of the Chamber of Commerce for Amsterdam, another demerger proposal has also been filed with regard to a proposed split off to the Acquiring Company of other assets and liabilities of the Demerging Company than those which form part of this demerger (the Dutch Demerger).
 
(B)   Op 29 mei 2007 heeft een consortium bestaande uit Fortis N.V. en Fortis S.A./N.V. (hierna gezamenlijk: Fortis), Banco Santander S.A. (hierna: Santander) en The Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc. (hierna: RBS) (Fortis, Santander en RBS hierna gezamenlijk ook aan te duiden als: het Consortium) middels een door deze drie partijen gezamenlijk gehouden vennootschap RFS Holdings B.V. (hierna: RFS) een openbaar bod uitgebracht op alle aandelen van ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (hierna: het Bod), de enig aandeelhouder van de Splitsende Vennootschap. Het Bod werd volledig onvoorwaardelijk verklaard op 10 oktober 2007 en settlement vond vervolgens plaats op 17 oktober 2007.
 
   
(B)   On 29 May 2007 a consortium comprised of Fortis N.V. and Fortis S.A./N.V. (hereinafter jointly: Fortis), Banco Santander S.A. (hereinafter: Santander) and The Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc. (hereinafter: RBS) (Fortis, Santander and RBS hereinafter: the Consortium) through a jointly held company, RFS Holdings B.V. (hereinafter: RFS) made a public bid for all of the listed shares of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (hereinafter: the Bid). ABN AMRO Holding N.V. in turn is the sole shareholder of the Demerging Company. The Bid was declared wholly unconditional on 10 October 2007 and settlement occurred on 17 October 2007.
 
 
2

 
(C)    De afspraken tussen de leden van het Consortium met betrekking tot het Bod en meer in zijn algemeenheid over de governance van RFS zijn vastgelegd in de Consortium and Shareholders’ Agreement die op 28 mei 2007 is afgesloten, zoals nadien van tijd tot tijd gewijzigd en aangevuld (hierna: de CSA).
 
   
(C)   The arrangements between the members of the Consortium regarding the Bid and generally the governance of RFS are set out in the Consortium and Shareholders’ Agreement of 28 May 2007 as amended and restated from time to time (hereinafter: the CSA).
 
(D)   De CSA beschrijft de voorwaarden waaronder bepaalde activa en passiva van ABN AMRO Holding N.V. en hun dochtermaatschappijen en ondernemingen (waaronder de Splitsende Vennootschap) aan ieder lid van het Consortium zullen worden geleverd. De CSA beschrijft tevens op welke wijze nadere regelingen zullen worden geïmplementeerd ten aanzien van die delen van de ABN AMRO groep die aan geen enkel lid van het Consortium worden overgedragen.
 
   
(D)   Furthermore, the CSA sets out the terms on which the transfer of certain assets and liabilities of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. and its subsidiaries and subsidiary undertakings (including the Demerging Company) to each Consortium member would be procured and how certain arrangements would be implemented with respect to other parts of the ABN AMRO group that are not to be transferred to any Consortium member.
 
(E)    Op 26 juli 2007 is Fortis Bank Nederland (Holding) N.V. (hierna: FBNH) als partij tot de CSA toegetreden. Op 3 oktober 2008 is, als gevolg van de nationalisatie van Fortis in Nederland, de Staat der Nederlanden indirect aandeelhouder in RFS geworden. De Staat der Nederlanden heeft de facto de positie van FBNH en Fortis onder de CSA overgenomen. Op 24 december 2008 is de Staat der Nederlanden formeel als partij toegetreden tot de CSA (door de verkrijging van de aandelen in RFS van FBNH).
 
   
(E)    On 26 July 2007, Fortis Bank Nederland (Holding) N.V. (hereinafter: FBNH) acceded to the CSA. On 3 October 2008, due to the nationalisation of Fortis in the Netherlands, the State of the Netherlands became an indirect shareholder in RFS. The State of the Netherlands de facto took over the position of FBNH and Fortis under the CSA. On 24 December 2008, the State of the Netherlands formally acceded to the CSA as a party (following its acquisition of shares in RFS from FBNH).

(F)   Ten gevolge van de toetreding van de Staat der Nederlanden tot de CSA werd zij gerechtigd tot, onder meer, de ‘F Aandelen’ en de resterende ‘F Onderneming’, zulks zoals gedefinieerd in de statuten van RFS. In de CSA worden deze bedrijfsonderdelen aangeduid als de Fortis Acquired Businesses. De resterende ‘F Onderneming’ bestaat in brede termen uit de niet-grootzakelijke bancaire activiteiten van de Splitsende Vennootschap in de Nederlandse nationale markt, de Private Clients, de International Diamond and Jewellery Group en bepaalde andere activiteiten.
 
   
(F)   As a result of the accession of the State of the Netherlands to the CSA, it became entitled to, amongst other things, the ‘F Shares’, and the remaining ‘F Business’, both as defined in the articles of RFS. In the CSA these parts of the business are designated as the Fortis Acquired Businesses. In broad terms, the remaining ‘F Business’, generally described, comprises the non-wholesale banking activities of the Demerging Company in the Dutch national market, including private clients and the international diamond and jewellery activities.
 
(G)   Na effectuering van de splitsing zal de Verkrijgende Vennootschap deze activiteiten voortzetten en bij gelegenheid van de Nederlandse Splitsing haar naam wijzigen in ABN AMRO Bank N.V., terwijl het overige deel van de activiteiten van de Splitsende Vennootschap door de Splitsende Vennootschap zal worden voortgezet, waarbij de naam van die vennootschap bij gelegenheid van de Nederlandse Splitsing zal worden gewijzigd in The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.
 
   
(G)   Following realisation of the demerger the Acquiring Company will continue the activities which are being transferred and following realisation of the Dutch Demerger change its name to ABN AMRO Bank N.V., whereas the remaining parts of the activities of the Demerging Company will be continued by the Demerging Company, which company following realisation of the Dutch Demerger will change its name to The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.
 
(H)   Door de aard en omvang van de ‘F onderneming’, die bijvoorbeeld ook een substantieel aantal particuliere rekeninghouders omvat, kunnen de betrokken activiteiten praktisch gezien slechts door een juridische afsplitsing worden overgedragen aan
   
(H)   Because of the nature and size of the ‘F Business’, which for instance also comprises a large number of private deposit holders, the activities concerned can in practice only be transferred to the Acquiring Company through a legal demerger.

de Verkrijgende Vennootschap. Iedere andere transactiestructuur zou inhouden dat elke afzonderlijke klantrelatie, contract en schuld als onderdeel van ‘F Onderneming’ separaat zou moeten worden overgedragen, zulks tegen prohibitief hoge kosten en met de aan de uitvoering van een zodanige omvangrijke activa en passiva transactie inherente significante tijds- en uitvoeringsrisico’s.
 
   
Any different transaction structure would require that each separate client relationship, contract and/or debt comprising the ‘F Business’ must be transferred separately, such against prohibitive costs and, considering the size of the assets and liabilities involved, significant inherent timing and execution risks.
 
(I)     De door partijen bij de CSA verkozen transactiestructuur (in algemene zin: een juridische afsplitsing van de niet-grootzakelijke bancaire activiteiten van de Splitsende Vennootschap in de Nederlandse nationale markt alsmede de afzonderlijke activa/passiva overdrachten met betrekking tot de private clients en de internationale diamond and jewellery activiteiten) heeft tot doel op de meest efficiënte wijze en tegen de laagst mogelijke kosten tussen de resterende ‘F Onderneming’ die wordt voortgezet door de Verkrijgende Vennootschap en de onderneming die wordt voortgezet door de Splitsende Vennootschap een ontkoppeling tot stand te brengen.
 
   
(I)    The transaction structure that was opted for (in general: a legal demerger of the non-wholesale banking activities of the Demerging Company in the Dutch national market as well as separate asset and liability transfers relating to the private clients and the international diamond and jewellery activities) aims to effect a separation of the remaining ‘F Business’ that will be continued by the Acquiring Company in the most efficient manner possible and against the lowest cost.
 
(J)     De structuur is erop gericht te bewerkstelligen dat na voltooiing van de splitsing en bepaalde afzonderlijke overdrachten twee volwaardige operationele, zelfstandige in de Nederlandse markt opererende banken, ontstaan; te weten The Royal Bank of Scotland
   
(J)    The structure is aimed at realizing the creation of two fully operational and independent banks in the Dutch market following completion of the demerger and certain separate transfers: The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V., being the Demerging Company following the renaming
 
5

 
N.V., zijnde de Splitsende Vennootschap (ná naamswijziging) en de nieuwe ABN AMRO Bank N.V., zijnde de Verkrijgende Vennootschap. De aandelen van de Verkrijgende Vennootschap zullen na effectuering van de juridische splitsing en de overige ontvlechtingsstappen volledig (indirect) door de Staat der Nederlanden worden gehouden.
   
and the new ABN AMRO Bank N.V., being the Acquiring Company. The shares of the Acquiring Company shall following realisation of the legal demerger and the further steps in the separation process eventually be (indirectly) held by the State of the Netherlands.
       
(K)   Voorafgaand aan de splitsing zal een herstructurering van de activiteiten en onderdelen van de Splitsende Vennootschap plaatsvinden. De Verkrijgende Vennootschap is met het oog op de herstructurering en de splitsing opgericht. Bepaalde onderdelen van de Splitsende Vennootschap, te weten de belangen in New HBU II N.V., ABN AMRO Private Clients Holding B.V., Amstel Lease Maatschappij N.V. en Delta Lloyd ABN Amro Verzekeringen Holding B.V., zullen voorafgaand aan de juridische splitsing aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap verkocht en overgedragen worden tegen schuldigerkenning. De vordering wordt vervolgens uitgekeerd aan ABN AMRO Holding N.V. voordat de splitsing effectief wordt.
Ten aanzien van New HBU II N.V. wordt als alternatief, in plaats van de verkoop en levering van de aandelen in die vennootschap, overwogen om voordat de splitsing effectief wordt New HBU II N.V. juridisch weg te fuseren in de Splitsende Vennootschap (de New HBU II Fusie). Voorts wordt overwogen om
   
(K)   A restructuring of the activities and parts of the Demerging Company will be effected prior to the demerger. The Acquiring Company has been formed for the purpose of this restructuring and the legal demerger. In this context, certain parts of the Demerging Company, namely the interests in New HBU II N.V., ABN AMRO Private Clients Holding B.V., Amstel Lease Maatschappij N.V. and Delta Lloyd ABN Amro Verzekeringen Holding B.V. will be sold and transferred to the Acquiring Company in exchange for a receivable prior to the demerger becoming effective. The receivable will subsequently be distributed to ABN AMRO Holding prior to the demerger becoming effective.
As to New HBU II N.V., alternatively, rather than selling and transferring the shares in this company, it is also being considered prior to the demerger becoming effective to legally merge New HBU II N.V. into the Demerging Company (the New HBU II Merger). It is furthermore considered, prior to such eventual New HBU II Merger, to 
 
6

 
 voorafgaand aan de eventuele New HBU II Fusie, hetzij New HBU II N.V. de economische gerechtigdheid tot haar gehele onderneming te laten verkopen en leveren aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap tegen schuldigerkenning en vervolgens de vordering in verband met deze verkoop uit te keren aan de Splitsende Vennootschap dan wel de Splitsende Vennootschap de economische gerechtigdheid tot de door haar gehouden aandelen New HBU II N.V. te laten verkopen en leveren aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap tegen schuldigerkenning (de New HBU II Overdracht). De desbetreffende vordering wordt, hetzij voor hetzij na de New HBU II Fusie, maar in ieder geval voorafgaande aan de splitsing uitgekeerd aan ABN AMRO Holding N.V.
In aanvulling daarop zijn tussen de Verkrijgende en de Splitsende Vennootschap maatregelen getroffen teneinde zeker te stellen dat de nieuw gevormde onafhankelijke banken, The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. en ABN AMRO Bank N.V. nieuw, voldoende gekapitaliseerd zullen blijven en zullen blijven voldoen aan de solvabiliteitseisen van De Nederlandsche Bank N.V.
   
either have New HBU II N.V. sell and transfer the beneficial title (economische gerechtigheid) to its entire business to the Acquiring Company in exchange for a receivable and subsequently distribute such receivable to the Demerging Company or have the Demerging Company sell and transfer the beneficial title (economische gerechtigdheid) to the shares it holds in New HBU II N.V. to the Acquiring Company in exchange for a receivable (the New HBU II Transfer). The relevant receivable will be distributed to ABN AMRO Holding N.V. either prior to or following the New HBU II Merger becoming effective, but in any event prior to the demerger becoming effective.
In addition to this, the Acquiring and Demerging Company have made arrangements to ensure that the newly formed independent banks, The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and ABN AMRO Bank N.V. new, will continue to remain adequately capitalised and comply with solvency requirements set by the Dutch Central Bank.

(L)    De Splitsende Vennootschap en de Verkrijgende Vennootschap hebben afspraken gemaakt over de afwikkeling van vorderingen ex artikel 2:334t van het Burgerlijk Wetboek door de ander en daaruit voortvloeiende vorderingen. Deze afspraken zien op de draagplicht van de Verkrijgende Vennootschap en de Splitsende Vennootschap ter zake daarvan en strekken er primair toe dat crediteuren met inachtneming van artikel 2:334t van het Burgerlijk Wetboek overeenkomstig hun rangorde worden voldaan.
   
(L)    The Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company have reached agreements on the settlement of claims ex 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code by the other and claims deriving from this. These agreements concern the obligation to contribute in that respect of the Acquiring Company and the Demerging Company and primarily aim at settling creditors in accordance with their order of priority with due observance of Section 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code.
       
Voorts, ingeval de New HBU II Fusie niet wordt geïmplementeerd, zullen de Splitsende Vennootschap en New HBU II N.V. een overeenkomst aangaan teneinde de bestaande blootstelling terzake artikel 2:334t van het Burgerlijk Wetboek welke haar oorsprong vindt in de juridische splitsingen waarbij New HBU II N.V. in 2008 was betrokken, te mitigeren.
   
Further, in case the New HBU II Merger will not be implemented, the Demerging Company and New HBU II N.V. will enter into an agreement to mitigate the existing exposure pursuant to article 2:334t of the Dutch Civil Code originating from the statutory demergers involving New HBU II N.V. in 2008.
       
Ten slotte, hebben de Splitsende Vennootschap en de Verkrijgende Vennootschap, als onderdeel van de Nederlandse Splitsing, tevens afspraken gemaakt omtrent de uitgangspunten voor de beschikbaarheid voor de Verkrijgende Vennootschap van de zekerheidsrechten die verband houden met aan de Verkrijgende Vennootschap af te splitsen klantrelaties.
   
Finally, the Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company have, as part of the Netherlands Demerger, also reached agreements on the principles for the availability for the Acquiring Company of the security rights connected with the client relationships to be demerged to the Acquiring Company.
       
(M)   Het is beoogd dat na de splitsing de Splitsende Vennootschap en de Verkrijgende Vennootschap op
   
(M)  It is intended that following the demerger, the Demerging Company and the Acquiring Company on a
