The RBS US Large Cap Trendpilot(TM) Exchange Traded Notes ("RBS ETNs") are
unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of The Royal Bank of Scotland N.V.
("RBS NV"), and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by RBS Holdings N.V.
("RBS Holdings").
RBS ETNs track the RBS US Large Cap Trendpilot(TM) Index (USD) (the "Index").
The Index utilizes a systematic trend-following strategy to provide exposure to
either the S and P 500([R]) Total Return Index (the "Benchmark Index") or the yield
on a hypothetical notional investment in 3-month U.S. Treasury bills (the "Cash
Rate"). The Index is designed to provide exposure to the Benchmark Index in
positive trending markets and exposure to the Cash Rate in negative trending
markets using an objective and transparent methodology.
RBS US LARGE CAP TRENDPILOT(TM) INDEX METHODOLOGY
If the closing level of the SPTR Index is at or above its historical 200-Index
business day simple moving average for []ve consecutive Index business days
If the closing level of the SPTR Index is below its historical 200-Index
business day simple moving average for []ve consecutive Index business days
A positive trend is established: The Index will track the Benchmark Index
A negative trend is established: The Index will track the Cash Rate
If neither of the above conditions is satisfied, the trend of the Index will be
the same as the trend of the Index on the immediately preceeding Index business
day. The Index will implement any trend reversal at the open of trading on the
second Index business day immediately following the Index business day on which
the Index trend switches from positive to negative or from negative to
positive, as the case may be.

The chart above presents the actual performance of the Index, the RBS ETNs, the
S and P 500([R]) Total Return Index (the Benchmark Index), and the S and P 500([R])
Index (Price Return), over the speci[]ed periods. For information regarding the
performance of the Trendpilot Index, see pages PS-33 to PS-35 of the pricing
supplement to the RBS ETNs []led with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC).
(1) Includes the annual investor fee, which accrues on a daily basis. The
annual investor fee will be equal to (i) 1.00% per annum when the Index is
tracking the Benchmark Index, and (ii) 0.50% per annum when the Index is
tracking the Cash Rate.
(2) Since the inception date of the RBS ETNs, the Index has tracked the
Benchmark Index and has remained in a positive trend, without any trend
reversal. Consequently, the historical performance of the Index over the time
periods speci[]ed above is identical to the Benchmark Index. In a negative
trending market the Index trend is expected to switch from positive to
negative, and the Index is expected to experience trend reversals in volatile
markets, switching from a positive to negative or from negative to positive, as
the case may be. The Index performance will not always be the same as the
Benchmark Index, could underperform the Benchmark Index, and may track the Cash
Rate for extended periods of time in a low interest rate environment. Does not
include any fees, transaction costs or expenses.
