This is an
announcement pursuant to article 9b paragraph 1 of the Dutch Securities Markets
Supervision Decree (Besluit toezicht effectenverkeer 1995).
This document
shall

in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
Cautionary
statement regarding forward-looking statements
This announcement
contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are statements
that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and
expectations. Any statement in this announcement that expresses or implies
our
intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the assumptions underlying
them) is a forward-looking statement. These statements are based on plans,
estimates and projections, as they are currently available to the management
of
ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (“ABN AMRO”). Forward-looking statements therefore speak
only as of the date they are made, and we take no obligation to update publicly
any of them in light of new information or future events.
Forward-looking
statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of important
factors could therefore cause actual future results to differ materially from
those expressed or implied in any forward looking statement. Such factors
include, without limitation, the outcome of the offers for our business by
Barclays PLC (“Barclays”) and the consortium of Banco Santander Central Hispano,
S.A., Fortis SA/NV and the Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (“RBS” and
collectively, the “Consortium”); the completion of our proposed disposition of
LaSalle; the conditions in the financial markets in Europe, the United States,
Brazil and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion of our trading
revenues; potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties; the
implementation of our restructuring including the envisaged reduction in
headcount; the reliability of our risk management policies, procedures and
methods; the outcome of ongoing criminal investigations and other regulatory
initiatives related to compliance matters in the United States and the nature
and severity of any sanctions imposed; and other risks referenced in our filings
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For more information
on these and other factors, please refer to Part I: Item 3.D “Risk Factors” in
our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC and to any subsequent reports
furnished or filed by us with the SEC. The forward-looking statements contained
in this announcement are made as of the date hereof, and the companies assume
no
obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained in this
announcement.
