Update on separation
Today ABN AMRO
announces that the creditor objection period has successfully ended on 30
October 2009 and that the Amsterdam District Court has confirmed that no
objections have been filed. This marks a key development in the
demerger process, initiated on 30 September 2009 when ABN AMRO Bank N.V. filed
the legal demerger documentation with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce and a thirty
day period started for creditors of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to place objections to
the legal demerger with the Amsterdam District Court. Please also refer to ABN
AMRO’s website for further information on this process (www.abnamro.com).
ABN AMRO can now
proceed with the restructuring process to transfer the Dutch State acquired
businesses and activities into the newly formed entity ABN AMRO II N.V. that
will initially be fully owned by ABN AMRO Holding N.V. Subsequent to
the transfer of selected entities into ABN AMRO II N.V. and completion of a
demerger according to Dutch law of assets and liabilities to this entity, ABN
AMRO II N.V. will be renamed "ABN AMRO Bank N.V.". At the same time the current
ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be renamed The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. As announced
on 7 October 2009, ABN AMRO Group plan to execute the legal demerger as soon as
possible in 2010. The smooth legal separation of these businesses from ABN AMRO
Group remains the priority for the Managing Board and is targeted for completion
approximately two months after the legal demerger. ABN AMRO Group Capital ratios
have continued to exceed the required levels during the separation period. ABN
AMRO Group and its shareholders intend to ensure that by legal separation both
separate banks are adequately capitalized and have sound liquidity
positions. Until final legal separation, ABN AMRO Group will continue
to be governed by its Managing Board and Supervisory Board and regulated on a
consolidated basis with capital ratios, liquidity measures and exposures being
reported to and regulated by the DNB.
