Final
dividend 2006 ABN AMRO Holding N.V.
Following
approval
of the 2006 annual accounts by the General Meeting of Shareholders on
26 April
2007, the dividend for the 2006 financial year has been set at EUR 1.15
per
ordinary share of EUR 0.56 nominal value. When the EUR 0.55 interim dividend
issued in August 2006 is deducted, a final dividend of EUR 0.60
remains.
It
was also determined that the 2006 final dividend of EUR 0.60 will be
payable -
at the shareholder's option - fully in ordinary shares against the share
premium
reserve or fully in cash (after deduction of 15% withholding tax on dividends).
The value of the stock dividend will be virtually equal to the value
of the cash
dividend.
Today
the number of
dividend rights of ordinary shares of EUR 0.56 nominal value entitling
shareholders to one new ordinary share in ABN AMRO Holding N.V. of EUR
0.56
nominal value each, has been fixed at 59. Based on the volume weighted
average
price of all ordinary ABN AMRO shares traded on Eurolist by Euronext
Amsterdam
on 22, 23 and 24 May 2007 of EUR 35.6056, 1/59 portion represents a value
of EUR
0,6035, which is virtually equal to the value of the cash dividend.

Cautionary
statement regarding forward-looking statements
This
announcement
contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
statements that are not historical facts, including statements
about our beliefs
and expectations. Any statement in this announcement that expresses
or implies
our intentions, beliefs, expectations or predictions (and the assumptions
underlying them) is a forward-looking statement. These statements
are based on
plans, estimates and projections, as they are currently available
to the
management of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. (“ABN AMRO”). Forward-looking statements
therefore speak only as of the date they are made, and we take
no obligation to
update publicly any of them in light of new information or future
events.
Forward-looking
statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. A number of
important
factors could therefore cause actual future results to differ materially
from
those expressed or implied in any forward looking statement. Such
factors
include, without limitation, the consummation of our proposed merger
with
Barclays PLC (“Barclays”); the completion of our proposed disposition of
LaSalle; the conditions in the financial markets in Europe, the
United States,
Brazil and elsewhere from which we derive a substantial portion
of our trading
revenues; potential defaults of borrowers or trading counterparties;
the
implementation of our restructuring including the envisaged reduction
in
headcount; the reliability of our risk management policies, procedures
and
methods; the outcome of ongoing criminal investigations and other
regulatory
initiatives related to compliance matters in the United States
and the nature
and severity of any sanctions imposed; and other risks referenced
in our filings
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information
on these
and other factors, please refer to Part I: Item 3.D “Risk Factors” in our Annual
Report on Form 20-F filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
and to
any subsequent reports furnished or filed by us with the US Securities
and
Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in
this
announcement are made as of the date hereof, and the companies
assume no
obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained
in this
announcement.
