This announcement is made by The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (“RBSG”), The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (“RBS plc”), RBS Holdings N.V. (formerly known as ABN AMRO Holding N.V.) and The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. (formerly known as ABN AMRO Bank N.V.) (“RBS N.V.”).
 
The Dutch Scheme refers to the transfer of a substantial part of the business conducted by RBS N.V. in the Netherlands as well as in certain EMEA branches of RBS N.V. (including the transfer of certain securities issued by RBS N.V.) by way of a Dutch statutory demerger to RBS II B.V. (the “Demerger”) followed by a cross-border merger of RBS II B.V. into RBS plc (the “Merger”).
 
The Demerger took effect at 00:00hrs (Central European Summer Time) on 10 September 2012. The consequences of the Merger, as approved by the Court of Session in Scotland, took effect at 00:01hrs (British Summer Time) on 10 September 2012. The Merger was the final stage of the Dutch Scheme.
 
The Deed of Irrevocable Offer (as described in the announcement dated 26 March 2012 made in relation to the Dutch Scheme and which has been executed by RBS plc) and the undertakings given by RBS plc to the Court of Session in Scotland in connection with that Deed and the Merger can be viewed at http://www.investors.rbs.com/RBS_NV.

Investors in securities originally issued by RBS N.V. and for which RBS plc has become the issuer pursuant to the Dutch Scheme should note that certain third parties (including stock exchanges and clearing systems) are updating their websites and systems to reflect the change of issuer. This may not be implemented immediately from the Effective Time.
 
Investors should refer to the website http://www.investors.rbs.com/RBS_NV (for securities issued prior to 23 March 2012) or the issue and/or offer documents (including term sheets) (for securities issued from on or around 23 March 2012) for information as to whether RBS plc has become the issuer of their securities from the Effective Time as a result of the Dutch Scheme.
 

Disclaimer

If you are in any doubt as to whether there is any tax or other impact on you as a result of the proposed transfers of a substantial part of the business activities of RBS N.V. to RBS plc (including the Dutch Scheme), please discuss such matters with your advisers.
