ABN
AMRO has filed a registration statement (including a Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates.
Before you invest, you should read the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement
in
that registration statement and other documents ABN AMRO has filed with the
SEC
for more complete information about ABN AMRO and the offering of the
Securities.
You
may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at
www.sec.gov or by visiting ABN AMRO Holding N.V. on the SEC website at <http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=&CIK=abn&filenum=&State=&SIC=&owner=include&action=getcompany>.
Alternatively, ABN AMRO, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the
offering will arrange to send you the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement
if
you request it by calling toll free (888) 644-2048.
These
Securities may not be offered or sold (i) to any person/entity listed on
sanctions lists of the European Union, United States or any other applicable
local competent authority; (ii) within the territory of Cuba, Sudan, Iran and
Myanmar; (iii) to residents in Cuba, Sudan, Iran or Myanmar; or (iv) to Cuban
Nationals, wherever located.
SUMMARY
This
prospectus relates to one offering of Securities. The purchaser of any offering
will acquire a Security linked to a single Underlying Stock.
The
following summary does not contain all the information that may be important
to
you. You should read this summary together with the more detailed information
that is contained in the related Pricing Supplement and in its accompanying
Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement. You should carefully consider, among
other
things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the related Pricing
Supplement, which are summarized on page 5 of this document. In
addition, we urge you to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax
and other advisors with respect to any investment in the
Securities.
What
are the Securities?
The
Securities are interest paying, non-principal protected securities issued by
us,
ABN AMRO Bank N.V., and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent
company, ABN AMRO Holding N.V. The Securities are senior notes of ABN AMRO
Bank
N.V. These Securities combine certain features of debt and equity by offering
a
fixed interest rate on the principal amount while the payment at maturity is
determined based on the performance of the Underlying Stock to which it is
linked.
What
will I receive at maturity of the Securities?
If
the
closing price of the Underlying Stock linked to a Security on the relevant
exchange has not fallen below the applicable Knock-In Level on any trading
day
from but not including the Pricing Date to and including the Determination
Date
(such period, the “Knock-In Period”), at maturity we will pay you the principal
amount of such Security in cash.
If,
on the
other hand, the closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock on the relevant
exchange has fallen below the applicable Knock-In Level on any trading day
during the Knock-In Period, at maturity we will either:
• deliver
to you a fixed number of shares of such Underlying Stock, which we call the
Stock Redemption Amount, in exchange for such Security, in the event that the
closing price of such Underlying Stock is below the applicable Initial Price
on
the Determination Date; or
• pay
you the principal amount of such Security in cash, in the event that the closing
price of such Underlying Stock is at or above the applicable Initial Price
on
the Determination Date.
Why
is the interest rate on the Securities higher than the interest rate payable
on
your conventional debt securities with the same maturity?
The
Securities offer a higher interest rate than the yield that would be payable
on
a conventional debt security with the same maturity issued by us or an issuer
with a comparable credit rating. This is because you, the investor in the
Securities, indirectly sell a put option to us on the shares of the applicable
Underlying Stock. The premium due to you for this put option is combined with
a
market interest rate on our senior debt to produce the higher interest rate
on
the Securities.
What
are the consequences of the indirect put option that I have sold
you?
The
put
option you indirectly sell to us creates the feature of exchangeability. If
the
closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock on the relevant exchange falls
below the applicable Knock-In Level on any trading day during the Knock-In
Period, and on the Determination Date the closing price of the applicable
Underlying Stock is less than the applicable Initial Price, you will receive
the
applicable Stock Redemption Amount. The market value of the shares of
such Underlying Stock at the time you receive those shares will be less than
the
principal amount of the Securities and could be zero. Therefore you are not
guaranteed to receive any return of principal at maturity.
How
is the Stock Redemption Amount determined?
The
Stock
Redemption Amount for each $1,000 principal amount of any Security is equal
to
$1,000 divided by the Initial Price of the Underlying Stock linked to such
Security. The value of any fractional shares of such Underlying Stock that
you
are entitled to receive, after aggregating your total holdings of the Securities
linked to such Underlying Stock, will be paid in cash based on the closing
price
of such Underlying Stock on the Determination Date.
What
interest payments can I expect on the Securities?
The
interest rate is fixed at issue and is payable in cash on each interest payment
date, irrespective of whether the Securities are redeemed at maturity for cash
or shares.
Can
you give me an example of the payment at maturity?
If,
for
example, in a hypothetical offering, the interest rate was 10% per annum, the
initial price of a share of underlying stock was $45.00 and the knock-in level
for such offering was 80%, then the stock redemption amount would be 22.222
shares of underlying stock, or $1,000 divided by $45.00, and the knock-in level
would be $36.00, or 80% of the initial price.
If
the
closing price of that hypothetical underlying stock fell below the knock-in
level of $36.00 on any trading day during the Knock-in Period, then the payment
at maturity would depend on the closing price of the underlying stock on the
determination date. In this case, if the closing price of the underlying
stock
on
the determination date is $30.00 per share at maturity, which is below the
initial price level, you would receive 22.222 shares of underlying stock for
each $1,000 principal amount of the securities. (In actuality, because we cannot
deliver fractions of a share, you would receive on the maturity date for each
$1,000 principal amount of the securities 22 shares of underlying stock plus
$6.66 cash in lieu of 0.222 fractional shares, determined by multiplying 0.222
by $30.00, the closing price per shares of underlying stock on the determination
date.) In addition, over the life of the securities you would have received
interest payments at a rate of 10% per annum. In this hypothetical
example, the market value of those 22 shares of underlying stock (including
the
cash paid in lieu of fractional shares) that we would deliver to you at maturity
for each $1,000 principal amount of security would be $666.66, which is less
than the principal amount of $1,000, and you would have lost a portion of your
initial investment. If, on the other hand, the closing price
of the underlying stock on the determination date is $50.00 per share, which
is
above the initial price level, you will receive $1,000 in cash for each $1,000
principal amount of the securities regardless of the knock-in level having
been
breached. In addition, over the life of the Securities you would have received
interest payments at a rate of 10% per annum.
Alternatively,
if the closing price of the underlying stock never falls below $36.00, which
is
the knock-in level, on any trading day during the Knock-in Period, at maturity
you will receive $1,000 in cash for each security you hold regardless of the
closing price of the underlying stock on the determination date. In addition,
over the life of the securities you would have received interest payments at
a
rate of 10% per annum.
This
example is for illustrative purposes only and is based on a hypothetical
offering. It is not possible to predict the closing price of any of
the Underlying Stocks on the determination date or at any time during the life
of the Securities. For each offering, we will set the Initial Price,
Knock-In Level and Stock Redemption Amount on the Pricing Date.
Do
I benefit from any appreciation in the Underlying Stock over the life of the
Securities?
No.
The
amount paid at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount of the Securities
will
not exceed $1,000.
What
if I have more questions?
You
should
read the “Description of Securities” in the related Pricing Supplement for a
detailed description of the terms of the Securities. ABN AMRO has
filed a registration statement (including a Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates.
Before you invest, you should read the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement
in
that registration statement and other documents ABN AMRO has filed with the
SEC
for more complete information about ABN AMRO and the offering of the
Securities. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on
the SEC web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, ABN AMRO, any underwriter or
any
dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the Prospectus
and
Prospectus Supplement if you request it by calling toll free (888)
644-2048.
RISK
FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks of the Securities to which this
communication relates and whether these Securities are suited to your particular
circumstances before deciding to purchase them. It is important that
prior to investing in these Securities investors read the Pricing Supplement
related to such Securities and the accompanying Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement to understand the actual terms of and the risks associated with
the
Securities. In addition, we urge you to consult with you investment,
legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in
the
Securities.
Credit
Risk
The
Securities are issued by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and guaranteed by ABN AMRO Holding
N.V., ABN AMRO’s parent. As a result, investors in the Securities
assume the credit risk of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and that of ABN AMRO Holding N.V.
in the event that ABN AMRO defaults on its obligations under the
Securities. Any obligations or Securities sold, offered, or
recommended are not deposits on ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and are not endorsed or
guaranteed by any bank or thrift, nor are they insured by the FDIC or any
governmental agency.
Principal
Risk
The
Securities are not ordinary debt securities: they are not principal
protected. In addition, if the closing price of the applicable
Underlying Stock falls below the applicable Knock-In Level on any trading day
during the Knock-In Period, investors in the Securities will be exposed to
any
decline in the price of the applicable Underlying Stock below the closing price
of such Underlying Stock on the date the Securities were
priced. Accordingly, you may lose some or all of your initial
investment in the Securities.
Limited
Return
The
amount
payable under the Securities will never exceed the original principal amount
of
the Securities plus the applicable aggregate fixed coupon payment investors
earn
during the term of the Securities. This means that you will not
benefit from any price appreciation in the applicable Underlying Stock, nor
will
you receive dividends paid on the applicable Underlying Stock, if
any. Accordingly, you will never receive at maturity an amount
greater than a predetermined amount per Security, regardless of how much
the price of the applicable Underlying Stock increases during the term of the
Securities or on the Determination Date. The return of a Security may
be significantly less than the return of a direct investment in the Underlying
Stock to which the Security is linked during the term of the
Security.
Liquidity
Risk
ABN
AMRO
does not intend to list the Securities on any securities
exchange. Accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for
the Securities and information regarding independent market pricing of the
Securities may be limited. The value of the Securities in the secondary market,
if any, will be subject to many unpredictable factors, including then prevailing
market conditions.
It
is important to note that many factors will contribute to the
secondary market value of the Securities, and you may not receive your full
principal back if the Securities are sold prior to
maturity. Such factors include, but are not limited to, time
to maturity, the price of the applicable Underlying Stock, volatility and
interest rates.
In
addition, the price, if any, at which we or another party are willing to
purchase Securities in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than
the issue price, since the issue price included, and secondary market prices
are
likely to exclude, commissions, discounts or mark-ups paid with respect to
the
Securities, as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the
Securities.
Tax
Risk
Pursuant
to the terms of the Knock-in Reverse Exchangeable Securities, we and every
investor in the Securities agree to characterize the Securities as consisting
of
a Put Option and a Deposit of cash with the issuer. Under this
characterization, a portion of the stated interest payments on each Security
is
treated as interest on the Deposit, and the remainder is treated as attributable
to a sale by you of the Put Option to ABN AMRO (referred to as Put
Premium). Receipt of the Put Premium will not be taxable upon
receipt.
If
the Put
Option expires unexercised (i.e., a cash payment of the principal amount of
the
Securities is made to the investor at maturity), you will recognize
short-term capital gain equal to the total Put Premium received. If
the Put Option is exercised (i.e., the final payment on the Securities is paid
in the applicable Underlying Stock), you will not recognize any gain or loss
in
respect of the Put Option, but your tax basis in the applicable Underlying
Stock
received will be reduced by the Put Premium received.
Significant
aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Securities are
uncertain, and no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service
will
accept, or a court will uphold, the tax treatment described above.
This
summary is limited to the federal tax issues addressed herein. Additional issues
may exist that are not addressed in this summary and that could affect the
federal tax treatment of the transaction. This tax summary was
written in connection with the promotion or marketing by ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
and
the placement agent of the Knock-in Reverse Exchangeable Securities, and it
cannot be used by any investor for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may
be
asserted against the investor under the Internal Revenue
Code. You should seek your own advice based on
their particular circumstances from an independent tax
advisor.
