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.
