Securities have a term of six months, so you will receive a pro rated
amount of this per annum rate based on such six-month period as shown in
the table above under “Coupon Rate”.
|
||||
Coupons on
the Securities are payable monthly in arrears on the 11th
day of each month starting on April 11, 2010 and ending on the maturity
date.
|
||||
Payment
at Maturity:
|
The payment
at maturity for each Security is based on the performance of the
Underlying Shares linked to such Security:
(i)If the
closing price of the Underlying Shares has not fallen below the knock-in
level on any trading day from but not including the Pricing Date to and
including the determination date, we will pay you the face amount of each
Security in cash.
(ii)If the
closing price of the Underlying Shares has fallen below the knock-in level
on any trading day from but not including the Pricing Date to and
including the determination date:
(a) we
will deliver to you a number of the Underlying Shares equal to the
redemption amount, in the event that the closing price of the Underlying
Shares on the determination date is below the initial price;
or
(b) we
will pay you the face amount of each Security in cash, in the event that
the closing price of the Underlying Shares on the determination date is at
or above the initial price.
You will
receive cash in lieu of fractional shares. If due to events beyond our
reasonable control, as determined by us in our sole discretion, the
Underlying Shares are not available for delivery at maturity we may pay
you, in lieu of the redemption amount, the cash value of the redemption
amount, determined by multiplying the redemption amount by the closing
price of the Underlying Shares on the determination date.
Any payment
at maturity is subject to the creditworthiness of The Royal Bank of
Scotland N.V. and ABN AMRO Holding N.V., as
guarantor.

|
(a)
|
Based on the
assumptions set forth above, if the closing price of the Underlying Shares
falls below $26.73 on any trading day during the knock-in period and, in
addition, the closing price of the Underlying Shares is less than $33.41
on the determination date, the payment at maturity will be made in
Underlying Shares. For determining the value of the payment at maturity,
we have assumed that the closing price of the Underlying Shares will be
the same on the maturity date as on the determination
date.
|
(b)
|
Coupons on
the Securities will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months or, in the case of an incomplete month, the number of actual
days elapsed. Accordingly, depending on the number of days in any monthly
coupon payment period, the coupon payable in such period and,
consequently, the total coupons payable over the term of the Securities,
may be less than the amount reflected in this
column.
|
(c)
|
The total
return presented is exclusive of any tax consequences of owning the
Securities. You should consult your tax advisor regarding whether owning
the Securities is appropriate for your tax situation. See the sections
titled “Risk Factors” in this Pricing Supplement and the accompanying
Product Supplement No. 1-III and “United States Federal Taxation” and
“Taxation in the Netherlands” in the accompanying Prospectus
Supplement.
|
(d)
|
Based on the
assumptions set forth above, if the closing price of the Underlying Shares
never falls below $26.73 on any trading day during the knock-in period,
the payment at maturity will be made in
cash.
