Amsterdam, 6 February 2010


ABN AMRO Group announces the legal renaming of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. to The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.

On 6 February 2010 ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 33002587) changed its legal name to The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.

The name change is not a change of the legal entity which issues securities and it does not affect any of the terms and conditions of such securities.  For further information regarding The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and its holding company, ABN AMRO Holding N.V., please refer to the reports and other information filed by ABN AMRO Holding N.V. with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States and the Authority for the Financial Markets in the Netherlands, available on the ABN AMRO Holding N.V. website at www.abnamro.com and http://markets.rbs.com/bparchive.

From 6 February 2010 onwards, the name ABN AMRO Bank N.V. will be used by a separate legal entity (registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under number 34334259), which will later be owned by the State of the Netherlands.  Neither the new entity named ABN AMRO Bank N.V. nor the State of the Netherlands guarantees the obligations under securities issued by The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. unless otherwise expressly stated in the terms and conditions of such securities.  Similarly, The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V does not guarantee the obligations under securities issued by the new entity named ABN AMRO Bank N.V  unless otherwise expressly stated in the terms and conditions of such securities.

The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. is an affiliate of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and a subsidiary of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc.  Neither The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc nor the UK government, in any way, guarantees or otherwise supports the obligations under the securities of The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. or the obligations under the securities of the new entity named ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
