Date of implementation of the Dutch Scheme

 

Further to the announcement made on 20 July 2012 in relation to the expected implementation date for the Dutch Scheme, RBS1 announces that on 8 August 2012 the Court of Session in Scotland made an order fixing 00.01 hrs (British Summer Time) on 10 September 2012 as the time and date on which the consequences of the Merger are to have effect2.

 

The Merger is the final stage in the Dutch Scheme, which involves the transfer of a substantial part of the business conducted by RBS N.V. in the Netherlands as well as in certain EMEA branches of RBS N.V. (including the transfer of certain securities issued by RBS N.V.) to RBS plc.

The Dutch Scheme refers to the transfer of a substantial part of the business conducted by RBS N.V. in the Netherlands as well as in certain EMEA branches of RBS N.V. (including the transfer of certain securities issued by RBS N.V.) by way of a Dutch statutory demerger to RBS II B.V. (the "Demerger") followed by a cross-border merger of RBS II B.V. into RBS plc (the "Merger").

2 Consequently, it is expected that the Demerger will be implemented shortly prior to the Merger and will come into effect at00:00 hrs (Central European Summer Time) on 10 September 2012.

In the event that the consequences of the Merger cannot have effect at 00.01 hrs (British Summer Time) on 10 September 2012, the Court of Session (the "Court") has given leave to RBS plc and RBS II B.V. to apply to the Court to fix a new time and date on which the consequences of the Merger are to have effect.

The detailed proposals for the Demerger and the Merger are available for inspection at Companies House in the UK and the Dutch Trade Register and can be viewed at http://www.investors.rbs.com/RBS_NV.

Copies of the orders made by the Court in respect of the Dutch Scheme are available on application to Dundas & Wilson CS LLP, Saltire Court, 20 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh EH1 2EN, United Kingdom.

The Deed of Irrevocable Offer (as described in the announcement made on 26 March 2012 in relation to the Dutch Scheme and which has been executed by RBS plc) and the undertakings given by RBS plc to the Court in connection with that Deed and the Merger can be viewed at http://www.investors.rbs.com/RBS_NV.
