Amsterdam – 20 November 2015– ABN AMRO (ticker symbol: ABN) began trading today on the Amsterdam market of Euronext, after its successful Initial Public Offering (IPO). In total € 3.3billion was raised^[1], making it the second largest IPO in Europe this year. With a market capitalisation of € 16.7 billion the listing of ABN AMRO is the largest in Europe since 2011.

ABN AMRO is a leading Dutch full service bank with a transparent and client-driven business model, a moderate risk profile, a clean balance sheet with predominantly traditional banking products, and a strong capital position and funding profile. The company services retail, private and corporate banking clients with a primary focus on the Netherlands and with selective capability-led operations internationally.

Gerrit Zalm, Chairman of the Managing Board of ABN AMRO: “ABN AMRO, the bank that was listed on the Amsterdam stock exchange today, is different from its predecessor, which operated under the same name. ABN AMRO is a bank with a primary focus on the Netherlands and with well-considered and selective operations internationally. We would like to express our gratitude to our clients, our employees and our shareholder, society. It is thanks to them that we are here today. Also many thanks to Euronext Amsterdam for its efforts in making this listing a success. We look forward to continuing our cooperation in the future.”
