5 July 2012

Change to the Date of Implementation of the Dutch Scheme

Further to the announcement dated 18 June 2012, The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBSG), The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS plc), RBS Holdings N.V., The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.2 (RBS N.V.) and RBS II B.V. have decided that, as a result of technology issues which have affected the RBS Group in the UK and Ireland, it would be prudent to defer the implementation of the Dutch Scheme which was scheduled to take place on 9 July 2012. 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. to RBS plc (including the transfer of certain securities issued by RBS N.V. to RBS plc).

The Financial Services Authority has been advised of the delay and has no objections. De Nederlandsche Bank is aware of the delay.

A further announcement will be made once the new effective date for the Dutch Scheme (the “Effective Date”) has been set, which is subject to regulatory and court approvals.

Clients will continue to deal, and conduct business, with their local RBS teams as at present. There will be no impact on client services, which will continue as usual.

Any action required in connection with the Dutch Scheme and the new Effective Date will be communicated in a timely way with a view to ensuring a smooth transition.

Investors in securities issued by RBS N.V. should refer to the website http://www.investors.rbs.com/RBS_NV (for securities issued prior to 23 March 2012) or the issue and/or offer documents (including term sheets) (for securities issued from on or around 23 March 2012) for information as to whether RBS plc is expected to become the issuer of their securities from the new Effective Date as a result of the Dutch Scheme (subject to the relevant securities not having been exercised, redeemed or repurchased and cancelled prior to the implementation of the Dutch Scheme).

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.

Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as those defined in the announcement on 18 June 2012.

Disclaimer

No person should place any reliance on the information referred to in this announcement concerning the proposed Dutch Scheme in connection with making an investment decision or for any other purpose and should be aware that changes to the current proposals (including, without limitation, the eventual manner in which RBS plc may become the issuer of any securities issued by RBS N.V., the timing pursuant to which RBS plc may become the issuer of such securities or any other details of the Dutch Scheme as set out above or to the plans for the guarantees granted by RBS N.V. in relation to securities issued by entities other than RBS N.V.) may be made if required, or if determined by RBS N.V. or RBS plc (in their absolute discretion) to be desirable for commercial or other reasons. Accordingly, nothing in this announcement should be taken as (or is) a representation as to the details of the Dutch Scheme or that RBS plc will or will not become the issuer or guarantor of any of the RBS N.V. securities or guarantees, whether in the manner described in this announcement, in accordance with the timing set out in this announcement, or at all. Investors should refer to http://www.investors.rbs.com/RBS_NV (for securities issued prior to 23 March 2012) or the issue and/or offer documents (including term sheets) (for securities issued from on or around 23 March 2012) for information as to which securities RBS plc is or is not expected to become the issuer of as a result of the Dutch Scheme (such information being up-to-date as at the date there indicated). For the avoidance of doubt, this announcement has been prepared and circulated solely for information purposes and does not constitute an offer to any person. If you are in any doubt as to whether there is any tax or other impact on you as a result of the Dutch Scheme, please discuss such matters with your advisers.
