THE
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND N.V.
(formerly
known as ABN AMRO Bank N.V.)
fully
and unconditionally guaranteed by
RBS
Holdings N.V.
(formerly
know as ABN AMRO Holding N.V.)
On February 6, 2010, ABN AMRO Bank N.V. changed its name to
“The Royal Bank of Scotland
N.V.,” and on April 1, 2010, ABN AMRO Holding
N.V. changed its name to “RBS Holdings N.V.” All references in the accompanying
term sheet or pricing supplement, any related product
supplement or underlying
supplement, the prospectus supplement dated September 29, 2009 or the prospectus supplement dated
February 8, 2010, as
applicable, and the
prospectus dated September 29, 2009 or the prospectus dated February 8,
2010, as
applicable, to (1) “ABN AMRO Bank N.V.” (except to the extent such reference is
to the new legal entity named ABN AMRO Bank N.V. that is owned by the State of the Netherlands
as discussed below) should
be deemed to refer to “The
Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.” and (2) “ABN AMRO Holding N.V.” should be deemed to refer to
“RBS Holdings
N.V.” We refer
to all these documents as the “Offering
Documents.”
The name changes are not changes of the legal entities that issued or will issue and guaranteed or will
guarantee the securities (the “Securities”) referred to in the Offering Documents, and they do not affect any of the terms of the
Securities. The
Securities will continue to be issued by The Royal Bank of
Scotland N.V. and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by
The Royal Bank of Scotland
N.V.’s parent company, RBS Holdings N.V.
While the name “ABN AMRO Bank N.V.” is used by a separate legal entity that
is owned by the State of the Netherlands, nether the new entity named ABN AMRO Bank
N.V. nor the State of the Netherlands will, in any way, guarantee or otherwise
support the obligations under the Securities.
The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.
and RBS Holdings N.V. are
both affiliates of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc and
The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc; however, none of The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, The
Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc or the UK government, in any way,
guarantees or otherwise supports the obligations under the
Securities.
The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. and
RBS Securities
Inc. will, and
other affiliates of
The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V. may, use this addendum and the other Offering Documents in connection with new offerings of Securities or in
connection with offers and
sales of Securities in market-making transactions.
