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

and
