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.
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 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; and other risks referenced in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information on these and other factors, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and to any subsequent reports furnished or filed by us with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
