RBS Exchange Traded Notes RBS US Mid Cap Trendpilot[] ETN (TRNM) The RBS US Mid Cap Trendpilot[] Exchange Traded Notes ("RBS ETNs") are unsecured and senior obligations of The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. ("RBS NV"), and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by RBS Holdings N.V. ("RBS Holdings"). Any payments on the RBS ETNs when they become due at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption are dependent on the ability of RBS NV and RBS Holdings to pay, and are also subject to market risk. RBS US Mid Cap Trendpilot[] ETNs track the RBS US Mid Cap Trendpilot[] Index (USD) which provides: Trend-following exposure using an objective and transparent methodology to either the S and P MidCap 400([R]) Total Return Index or the Cash Rate; Mid Cap Exposure in positive trending markets by tracking the S and P MidCap 400([R]) Total Return Index, the level of which incorporates the reinvestment of any cash dividends paid on its component securities. The RBS ETNs do not pay interest or dividends; and Cash Rate Exposure in negative trending markets by tracking a hypothetical investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury bills as of the most recent weekly auction. Illustration of the Trendpilot([]) Index Methodology A positive trend is established: The Index will track the Benchmark Index If the closing level of the Benchmark Index is at or above its historical 200-Index business day simple moving average for []ve consecutive Index business days A negative trend is established: The Index will track the Cash Rate If the closing level of the Benchmark Index is below its historical 200-Index business day simple moving average for []ve consecutive Index business days Hypothetical Benchmark Index Level A negative trend is established A positive trend is established Hypothetical Benchmark Index Hypothetical 200-Index business day simple moving average Time The above graph illustrates the operation of the Trendpilot[] Index Methodology. It does not re[]ect any actual performance of the Benchmark Index or the Index, and is not an indication of how either index may perform in the future. The hypothetical illustration above also does not include any fees, transaction costs or expenses. If neither of the above conditions is satis[]ed, the trend of the Benchmark Index will be the same as the trend of the Benchmark Index on the immediately preceeding Index business day. The Index will implement any trend reversal at the open of trading on the second Index business day immediately following the Index business day on which the Benchmark Index trend switches from positive to negative or from negative to positive, as the case may be. (1)Benchmark Index Dividend Yield means the sum of the gross dividends paid on the securities comprising the Benchmark Index (which is a total return index) over the prior 12 months ending 9/30/2012 divided by the closing level of the price return version of the Benchmark Index as of 9/30/2012.

CERTAIN RISK CONSIDERATIONS: The RBS ETNs involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities, including a possible loss of some or all of your investment. The level of the Index must increase by an amount suf[]cient to offset the aggregate investor fee applicable to the RBS ETNs in order for you to receive at least the principal amount of your investment back at maturity or upon early repurchase or redemption. The Index may underperform the Benchmark Index, and is expected to perform poorly in volatile markets. Even though the RBS ETNs are listed on the NYSE Arca, a trading market may not develop and the liquidity of the RBS ETNs may be limited and/or vary over time, as RBS plc is not required to maintain any listing of the RBS ETNs. The RBS ETNs are not principal protected and do not pay interest. Any payment on the RBS ETNs is subject to the ability of RBS plc, as the issuer, and RBS Group plc, as the guarantor, to pay their respective obligations when they become due.
