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
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 6/29/2012 divided by the closing level of the
price return version of the Benchmark Index as of 6/29/2012.

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.
Liquidity of the market for RBS ETNs may vary over time. The RBS ETNs are not
principal proteced and do not pay interest. Any payment on the RBS ETNs is
subject to ability of RBS NV, as the issuer, and RBS Holdings, as the
guarantor, to pay their respective obligations when they become due. You should
carefully consider whether the RBS ETNs are suited to your particular
circumstances before you decide to purchase them. We urge you to consult with
your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any
investment in the RBS ETNs.
The RBS ETNs are not suitable for all investors. You should carefully read the
relevant pricing supplement and prospectus, including the more detailed
explanation of the risks involved in any investment in the RBS ETNs as
described in the "Risk Factors" section of the pricing supplement, before
investing.
