Important Information

The information provided on this website is for personal use and informational purposes only and is not intended for distribution to, or use by, any person or entity in any jurisdiction or in any country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Fortis NV, Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc and Banco Santander Centro Hispano, SA or any of their affiliates (collectively, the "Banks") to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Where any opinions are expressed on this website, they are provided by the Banks for personal use and for informational purposes only.

Neither this website nor any of the information contained herein constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or any advice or recommendation with respect to such securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

The information contained in this website is subject to, and must be read in conjunction with, all other publicly available information, including, where relevant any fuller disclosure document published by the Banks. Any person at any time acquiring securities must do so only on the basis of such person's own judgement as to the merits or the suitability of the securities for its purposes and only on such information as is contained in such public information having taken all such professional or other advice as it considers necessary or appropriate in the circumstances and not in reliance on the information contained herein.

In connection with the offer for ABN AMRO, RBS has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Registration Statement on Form F-4, which, as amended, includes a the U.S. offer document, and the Banks have filed a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, amendments thereto and other relevant materials. INVESTORS ARE URGED TO READ ANY DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE OFFER BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Investors may obtain a copy of such documents, without charge, at the SEC's website (http://www.sec.gov). Copies of all documents filed in connection with the offer may also be obtained from each Bank, without charge.

Nothing contained herein is an offer of securities for sale into the United States. No offering of securities shall be made in the United States except pursuant to registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

Forward-Looking Statements

This website may include certain "forward-looking statements". These statements are based on the current expectations of the Banks and are naturally subject to uncertainty and changes in certain circumstances. Forward-looking statements include any statements related to the benefits or synergies resulting from a transaction with ABN AMRO and, without limitation, statements typically containing words such as "intends", "expects", "anticipates", "targets", "plans", "estimates" and words of similar import. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, satisfaction of any conditions to the proposed Offer, including the receipt of required regulatory and anti-trust approvals, the successful completion of the Offer or any subsequent compulsory acquisition procedure, the anticipated benefits of the proposed Offer (including anticipated synergies) not being realized, the separation and integration of ABN AMRO and its assets among the Banks and the integration of such businesses and assets by the Banks being materially delayed or more costly or difficult than expected, as well as additional factors, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in the regulatory environment, fluctuations in interest and exchange rates, the outcome of litigation and government actions. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. None of the Banks undertake any obligation to update publicly or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent legally required.

By continuing, you hereby acknowledge and understand the foregoing disclosures and limitations.
