ABN
AMRO announces outcome of General
Meeting of Shareholders
ABN
AMRO announces today the outcome of the General Meeting of Shareholders
(GMS)
held in The Hague earlier today:
Voting
on
dividend
|
|
·
|
Shareholders
approved the 2006 annual accounts and set the dividend
for the 2006
financial year at EUR 1.15 per ordinary share of EUR 0.56
nominal value.
When the EUR 0.55 interim dividend is deducted, a final
dividend of EUR
0.60 remains.
|
|
|
·
|
It
was also
determined that the 2006 final dividend of EUR 0.60 will
be payable - at
the shareholder's option - fully in ordinary shares against
the share
premium reserve or fully in cash (after deduction of 15%
withholding tax
on dividends). The value of the stock dividend will be
- barring any
rounding effects – virtually equal to the value of the cash
dividend.

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
Holding N.V. ("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 consummation of our proposed merger
with
Barclays PLC ("Barclays"); the completion of our proposed disposition
of
LaSalle; 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; the outcome of ongoing criminal investigations and other regulatory
initiatives related to compliance matters in the United States and
the nature
and severity of any sanctions imposed; and other risks referenced in
our filings
with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information
on these
and other factors, please refer to Part I: Item 3.D "Risk Factors"
in our Annual
Report on Form 20-F filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
and to
any subsequent reports furnished or filed by us with the US Securities
and
Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained in this
announcement are made as of the date hereof, and the companies assume
no
obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements contained
in this
announcement.
Additional
Information and Where to Find it

US
Securities and Exchange Commission a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement
on
Schedule 14D-9 and other relevant materials. Such documents, however,
are not
currently available.
INVESTORS
