Addendum to the accompanying Prospectus dated September 29, 2009 and
Prospectus Supplement dated September 29, 2009.
Debt
Securities
THE
ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND N.V.
(formerly
known as ABN AMRO Bank N.V.)
fully
and unconditionally guaranteed by
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.” All references in the
accompanying term sheet or
pricing supplement, any related product
supplement or underlying supplement, the prospectus supplement dated September
29, 2009 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) and the prospectus dated September 29,
2009 (the “Prospectus”) to “ABN AMRO Bank N.V.” (except to the extent such reference is to the new legal
entity named ABN AMRO Bank N.V. that will be ultimately owned by the State of
the Netherlands as discussed below) should be deemed to refer to
“The Royal Bank of Scotland
N.V.” We refer
to all these documents as the “Offering
Documents.”
The name change is not a change of the
legal entity that issued or
will issue the securities
(the “Securities”) referred to in the Offering Documents, and it does not
affect any of the terms of the Securities. The Securities will continue to be fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.’s parent company, ABN AMRO Holding
N.V.
From February 6, 2010 onwards, the name
“ABN AMRO Bank N.V.” will be used by a separate legal entity
that will ultimately be
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.
is also an affiliate of The
Royal Bank of Scotland plc and The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc; however,
neither of these entitles nor the UK government will, in any way, guarantee
or otherwise support the obligations under the
Securities.
If the accompanying pricing supplement is dated
before September 29, 2009 (an “Old Pricing Supplement”), you should read the Old Pricing Supplement, which contains the specific terms of the offered S
ecurities, together with th
is addendum and the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. When you read an Old Pricing Supplement, please note that all references in the
Old Pricing Supplement to a prospectus dated September 29, 2006 of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and ABN AMRO Holding
N.V. (or to any section of
such prospectus), should refer instead to the Prospectus
or to the corresponding section of the Prospectus, as applicable, and all
references in the Old
Pricing
Supplement to a prospectus supplement dated September 29, 2006 of ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
and ABN AMRO Holding N.V.
(or to any section of such
prospectus supplement), should refer instead to the Prospectus
Supplement or to the corresponding section of the
Prospectus Supplement, as
applicable. The accompanying Prospectus supersedes
the prospectus dated
September 29, 2006 and the accompanying Prospectus Supplement
supersedes the prospectus
supplement dated September 29, 2006.
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.
