Payment
at Maturity:
|
The payment
at maturity for each Note is based on the performance of the Underlying
Basket linked to such Note. The cash payment at maturity is
calculated as follows:
(i)
if the Basket Return is positive, $1,000 plus the Supplemental Redemption
Amount; and
(ii)
if the Basket Return is 0% or negative, $1,000.
Consequently,
if the Basket Return is 0% or negative, you will receive no return on your
investment and you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to
inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over
time.
Any payment
at maturity is subject to the creditworthiness of The Royal Bank of
Scotland N.V., as issuer, and RBS Holdings N.V., as
guarantor.
