--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


23 April 2007

Fortis, Royal Bank of Scotland and Santander (the "Banks") note today's
announcement of a recommended offer by Barclays for ABN AMRO.

A meeting was  arranged  for 14.30  today with ABN AMRO so that the Banks
could  present  their  proposals  to ABN AMRO for them to be considered
alongside Barclays' proposals.

The Banks'  proposals  include the  retention  of LaSalle  Bank.  In view of ABN
AMRO's  decision  to sell  LaSalle  Bank to Bank of  America,  the Banks need to
understand the circumstances under which this sale can be terminated.  The Banks
are requesting this information today. Accordingly, the Banks do not consider it
appropriate to meet with ABN AMRO today.
