| Final dividend 2007 ABN AMRO Holding N.V., press release 28 February 2008
Due to the change of ownership during 2007, ABN AMRO proposes not to pay a final dividend.
|
| Interim dividend 2007 ABN AMRO Holding N.V.
On 30 July 2007, ABN AMRO announced with the publication of the interim results that the interim dividend 2007 would be EUR 0.58. Until the 2006 final dividend, the interim dividend and the final dividend have been made available wholly in cash or, at the shareholder's option, wholly in ordinary shares chargeable to the share premium account. As announced on 26 April 2007 with our first quarter 2007 results press release, as from the interim dividend for 2007, all dividend payments will be in cash. However, we also announced that should a shareholder elect to have the cash dividend invested in stock, ABN AMRO will facilitate the process by buying the relevant stock in the open market through a Dividend Reinvestment Program (DRIP). The cash dividend is subject to a 15% Dividend Withholding Tax (DWT). As a consequence, only 85% of the cash dividend is directly available to shareholders.
On 27 August 2007, the number of dividend rights of ordinary shares of EUR 0.56 nominal value entitling shareholders that had elected to participate in the DRIP to 1 new ordinary share in ABN AMRO Holding N.V. of EUR 0.56 nominal value was fixed at 69.9. Based on the volume weighted average share price of all traded ordinary shares ABN AMRO at Eurolist by Euronext Amsterdam during the five trading days starting 20 August 2007 and ending 24 August 2007, being EUR 34.2891, 1/69.9 part represents a value of EUR 0.4905 which is 0.498% less than the net cash dividend of EUR 0.493 per ordinary share ABN AMRO. The reinvestment price is EUR 34.4607. The ordinary shares purchased through the DRIP will be delivered from 27 August 2007.
