ABN
AMRO has
filed a registration statement (including a Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates.
Before you invest, you should read the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement
in
that registration statement and other documents ABN AMRO has filed with the
SEC
for more complete information about ABN AMRO and the offering of the
Securities.
You
may get
these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC web site at www.sec.gov.
Alternatively, ABN AMRO, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the
offering will arrange to send you the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement
if
you request it by calling toll free (888) 644-2048.
These
Securities may not be offered or sold (i) to any person/entity listed on
sanctions lists of the European Union, United States or any other applicable
local competent authority; (ii) within the territory of Cuba, Sudan, Iran and
Myanmar; (iii) to residents in Cuba, Sudan, Iran or Myanmar; or (iv) to Cuban
Nationals, wherever located.
SUMMARY
The
following
summary does not contain all the information that may be important to you.
You
should read this summary together with the more detailed information that is
contained in the related Pricing Supplement and in its accompanying Prospectus
and Prospectus Supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things,
the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the related Pricing Supplement, which
are summarized on page 5 of this document. In addition, we urge you
to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors
with
respect to any investment in the Securities.
What
are the
Securities?
The
Securities are
interest paying, non-principal protected securities issued by us, ABN AMRO
Bank
N.V., and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent company, ABN
AMRO Holding N.V. The Securities are senior notes of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. These
Securities combine certain features of debt and equity by offering a fixed
interest rate on the principal amount while the payment at maturity is
determined based on the performance of the Underlying Stock to which it is
linked.
What
will I
receive at maturity of the Securities?
If
the closing price
of the Underlying Stock linked to a Security on the relevant exchange has not
fallen below the applicable Knock-In Level on any trading day from but not
including the Pricing Date to and including the Determination Date (such period,
the “Knock-In Period”), at maturity we will pay you the principal amount of such
Security in cash.
If,
on the other
hand, the closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock on the relevant
exchange has fallen below the applicable Knock-In Level on any trading day
during the Knock-In Period, at maturity we will either:
|
•
|
deliver
to you
a fixed number of shares of such Underlying Stock, which we call
the Stock
Redemption Amount, in exchange for such Security, in the event that
the
closing price of such Underlying Stock is below the applicable Initial
Price on the Determination Date; or
|
|
•
|
pay
you the principal amount of such Security in cash, in the event that
the
closing price of such Underlying Stock is at or above the applicable
Initial Price on the Determination
Date.
|
Why
is the
interest rate on the Securities higher than the interest rate payable on your
conventional debt securities with the same maturity?
The
Securities offer
a higher interest rate than the yield that would be payable on a conventional
debt security with the same maturity issued by us or an issuer with a comparable
credit rating. This is because you, the investor in the Securities, indirectly
sell a put option to us on the shares of the applicable Underlying Stock. The
premium due to you for this put option is combined with a market interest rate
on our senior debt to produce the higher interest rate on the
Securities.
What
are the
consequences of the indirect put option that I have sold
you?
The
put option you
indirectly sell to us creates the feature of exchangeability. If the closing
price of the applicable Underlying Stock on the relevant exchange falls below
the applicable Knock-In Level on any trading day during the Knock-In Period,
and
on the Determination Date the closing price of the applicable Underlying Stock
is less than the applicable Initial Price, you will receive the applicable
Stock
Redemption Amount. The market value of the shares of such Underlying
Stock at the time you receive those shares will be less than the principal
amount of the Securities and could be zero. Therefore you are not guaranteed
to
receive any return of principal at maturity.
How
is the
Stock Redemption Amount determined?
The
Stock Redemption
Amount for each $1,000 principal amount of any Security is equal to $1,000
divided by the Initial Price of the Underlying Stock linked to such Security.
The value of any fractional shares of such Underlying Stock that you are
entitled to receive, after aggregating your total holdings of the Securities
linked to such Underlying Stock, will be paid in cash based on the closing
price
of such Underlying Stock on the Determination Date.
What
interest payments can I expect on the Securities?
The
interest rate is
fixed at issue and is payable in cash on each interest payment date,
irrespective of whether the Securities are redeemed at maturity for cash or
shares.
Can
you give
me an example of the payment at maturity?
If,
for example, in
a hypothetical offering, the interest rate was 10% per annum, the initial price
of a share of underlying stock was $45.00 and the knock-in level for such
offering was 80%, then the stock redemption amount would be 22.222 shares of
underlying stock, or $1,000 divided by $45.00, and the knock-in level would
be
$36.00, or 80% of the initial price.
If
the closing price
of that hypothetical underlying stock fell below the knock-in level of $36.00
on
any trading day during the Knock-in Period, then the payment at maturity would
depend on the closing price of the underlying stock on the determination date.
In this case, if the closing price of the underlying stock on the determination
date is $30.00 per share at maturity, which is below the initial price level,
you would receive 22.222 shares of underlying stock for each $1,000 principal
amount of the securities. (In actuality, because we cannot deliver fractions
of
a share, you would receive on the maturity date for
each
$1,000
principal amount of the securities 22 shares of underlying stock plus $6.66
cash
in lieu of 0.222 fractional shares, determined by multiplying 0.222 by $30.00,
the closing price per shares of underlying stock on the determination date.)
In
addition, over the life of the securities you would have received interest
payments at a rate of 10% per annum. In this hypothetical example, the
market value of those 22 shares of underlying stock (including the cash paid
in
lieu of fractional shares) that we would deliver to you at maturity for each
$1,000 principal amount of security would be $666.66, which is less than the
principal amount of $1,000, and you would have lost a portion of your initial
investment. If, on the other hand, the closing price of the
underlying stock on the determination date is $50.00 per share, which is above
the initial price level, you will receive $1,000 in cash for each $1,000
principal amount of the securities regardless of the knock-in level having
been
breached. In addition, over the life of the Securities you would have received
interest payments at a rate of 10% per annum.
Alternatively,
if
the closing price of the underlying stock never falls below $36.00, which is
the
knock-in level, on any trading day during the Knock-in Period, at maturity
you
will receive $1,000 in cash for each security you hold regardless of the closing
price of the underlying stock on the determination date. In addition, over
the
life of the securities you would have received interest payments at a rate
of
10% per annum.
This
example
is for illustrative purposes only and is based on a hypothetical
offering. It is not possible to predict the closing price of any of
the Underlying Stocks on the determination date or at any time during the life
of the Securities. For each offering, we will set the Initial Price,
Knock-In Level and Stock Redemption Amount on the Pricing Date.
Do
I benefit
from any appreciation in the Underlying Stock over the life of the
Securities?
No.
The amount paid
at maturity for each $1,000 principal amount of the Securities will not exceed
$1,000.
What
if I
have more questions?
You
should read the
“Description of Securities” in the related Pricing Supplement for a detailed
description of the terms of the Securities. ABN AMRO has filed a
registration statement (including a Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement) with
the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest,
you should read the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement in that registration
statement and other documents ABN AMRO has filed with the SEC for more complete
information about ABN AMRO and the offering of the Securities. You
may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC web site at
www.sec.gov. Alternatively, ABN AMRO, any underwriter or any dealer
participating in the offering will arrange to send you the Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement if you request it by calling toll free (888)
644-2048.
RISK
FACTORS
Investors
should carefully consider the risks of the Securities to which this
communication relates and whether these Securities are suited to their
particular circumstances before deciding to purchase them. It is
important that prior to investing in these Securities investors read the Pricing
Supplement related to such Securities and the accompanying Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement to understand the actual terms of and the risks associated
with the Securities. In addition, we urge investors to consult with
their investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to
any
investment in the Securities.
Credit
Risk
The
Securities are issued by ABN AMRO
Bank N.V. and guaranteed by ABN AMRO Holding N.V., ABN AMRO’s
parent. As a result,
investors assume the credit risk of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and that of ABN AMRO
Holding N.V. in the event that ABN AMRO defaults on its obligations under the
Securities. Any obligations or Securities sold, offered, or
recommended are not
deposits on ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and
are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank or thrift, nor are they insured
by
the FDIC or any governmental agency.
Principal
Risk
The
Securities are not ordinary debt
securities: they are not principal protected. In addition, if the closing
price of the applicable Underlying Stock falls below the applicable Knock-In
Level on any trading day during the Knock-In Period, investors in the Securities
will be exposed to any decline in the price of the applicable Underlying
Stock below the closing price of
such Underlying Stock on the date the Securities were
priced. Accordingly,
investors may lose
some or all of their initial investment in the
Securities.
Limited
Return
The
amount payable under the Securities
will never exceed the original principal amount of the Securities plus the
applicable aggregate fixed coupon payment investors earn during the term of
the
Securities. This means that investors will not benefit
from any
price appreciation in the applicable
Underlying Stock, nor will they receive dividends paid on the applicable
Underlying Stock, if any. Accordingly, investors will never receive at maturity
an amount greater than a predetermined amount per Security, regardless
of how much the price of the
applicable Underlying Stock increases during the term of the Securities or
on
the Determination Date. The return of a Security may be significantly
less than the return of a direct investment in the Underlying Stock to
which the Security is linked during
the term of the Security.
Liquidity
Risk
ABN
AMRO does not intend to list the
Securities on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there may be
little or no secondary market for the Securities and information
regarding independent
market pricing of the Securities may be limited. The value of the Securities
in
the secondary market, if any, will be subject to many unpredictable factors,
including then prevailing market conditions.
It
is important to note that
many factors
will contribute to the
secondary market value of the Securities, and investors may not receive their
full principal back if the Securities are sold prior to
maturity. Such factors
include, but are not
limited to, time to maturity, the price of the applicable Underlying Stock,
volatility and
interest rates.
In
addition, the price, if any, at which
we or another party are willing to purchase Securities in secondary market
transactions will likely be lower than the issue price, since the issue price
included, and secondary
market prices are likely to exclude, commissions, discounts or mark-ups paid
with respect to the Securities, as well as the cost of hedging our obligations
under the Securities.
Tax
Risk
Pursuant
to the terms of the Knock-in
Reverse Exchangeable
Securities, we and every investor agree to characterize the Securities as
consisting of a Put Option and a Deposit of cash with the
issuer. Under this characterization, a portion of the stated interest
payments on each Security is treated as interest
on the Deposit, and the
remainder is treated as attributable to a sale by the investor of the Put Option
to ABN AMRO (referred to as Put Premium). Receipt of the Put Premium
will not be taxable upon receipt.
If
the Put Option expires
unexercised (i.e., a cash
payment of the principal amount of the Securities is made to the investor at
maturity), the investor will recognize short-term capital gain equal to the
total Put Premium received. If the Put Option is exercised (i.e., the
final payment on
the Securities is paid in the
applicable Underlying Stock), the investor will not recognize any gain or loss
in respect of the Put Option, but the investor’s
tax basis in the applicable Underlying
Stock received will be reduced by the Put Premium received.
Significant
aspects of the U.S.
federal income tax treatment of the
Securities are uncertain, and no assurance can be given that the Internal
Revenue Service will accept, or a court will uphold, the tax treatment described
above.
This
summary is limited to the federal tax
issues addressed
herein. Additional issues may exist that are not addressed in this summary
and
that could affect the federal tax treatment of the transaction. This
tax summary was written in connection with the promotion or marketing
by ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and the
placement agent of the Knock-in Reverse Exchangeable Securities, and it cannot
be used by any investor for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be
asserted against the investor under the Internal Revenue Code.
Investors
should seek their own advice based
on their particular circumstances from an independent tax
advisor.
