SUMMARY

This Term Sheet relates to one offering of Securities. The purchaser of any offering will acquire a Security linked to the Underlying Index.

The following summary does not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in Product Supplement No. 2-I and in the accompanying Underlying Supplement, Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors” in the Product Supplement No. 2-I, which are summarized on page 8 of this Term Sheet. In addition, we urge you to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the Securities.

What are the Securities?

The Securities are senior notes issued by us, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by our parent company, ABN AMRO Holding N.V. The Securities are linked to performance of the S&P 500® Index which we refer to as the Underlying Index. The Securities have a maturity of 24 Months. The payment at maturity of the Securities is determined based on the performance of the Underlying Index, subject to a cap, as described below. Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Securities do not pay interest. If the index return is less than 0% down to and including -20%, you will be entitled to receive only the principal amount of $1,000 per Security at maturity. In such a case, 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. If the index return is less than -20%, you will suffer a loss and you could lose up to 80% of your initial principal investment. If the index return is 0% or positive you will receive the maximum redemption at maturity per security of $1,135.00, which represents a return of 13.50%. If the index return is positive, your return on the Securities will be equal to the digital return of 13.50% regardless of how much or how little the value of the Underlying Index may appreciate above the initial value. The digital return is a fixed amount. We call it a digital return because the digital return is either payable in full or it is not payable at all, like a digital switch that is either fully on or fully off.

Any payment on the Securities is subject to the creditworthiness of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and ABN AMRO Holding N.V. as guarantor.

What will I receive at maturity of the Securities and how is this amount calculated?

At maturity you will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, a cash payment calculated as follows:

(1) If the index return is 0% or positive, $1,000 plus the digital return; or

(2) If the index return is less than 0% down to and including -20%, $1,000; or

(3) If the index return is less than -20%, then $1,000 plus (index return + 20%) × 1,000.

Accordingly, if the index return is less than -20%, at maturity you will receive less than the principal amount of $1,000 per Security and you could lose up to 80% of your initial principal investment. If the index return is 0% or positive, you will never receive a payment at maturity greater than the maximum redemption at maturity of $1,135.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

What are the index return, the digital return and the maximum redemption at maturity and how are they calculated?

The index return is the percentage change in the value of the Underlying Index, over the term of the Securities, calculated as:

Final Value – Initial Value

Initial Value

where,

the initial value is the closing value of the Underlying Index on the pricing date; and

the final value is the closing value of the Underlying Index on the determination date.

The digital return is $135 (or 13.50%) per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

The maximum redemption at maturity is $1,135.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, which is equivalent to a return of 13.50% on your initial principal investment. The digital return is fixed so that regardless of how much or how little the index return may appreciate above the initial value, you will never receive more than $1,135.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities at maturity. Similarly, if the final value is equal to the initial value you will receive $1,135.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities at maturity.

Will I receive interest payments on the Securities?

No. You will not receive any interest payments on the Securities.

Will I get my principal back at maturity?

The Securities are not fully principal protected. Subject to the creditworthiness of ABN AMRO Bank, N.V., as the issuer of the Securities, and ABN AMRO Holding N.V., as the guarantor of the issuer’s obligations under the Securities, you will receive at maturity at least $200 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities, regardless of the closing value of the Underlying Index on the Determination Date. If the index return is less than -20% over the term of the Securities, you will lose some of your initial principal investment and you could lose as much as 80% of your initial principal investment.

However, if you sell the Securities prior to maturity, you will receive the market price for the Securities, which could be zero. There may be little or no secondary market for the Securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities until maturity.

Can you give me examples of the payment at maturity?

Example 1: If, for example, in a hypothetical offering, the initial value is 840, the final value is 1,000 and the digital return is $135.00, then the index return would be calculated as follows:

Final Value – Initial Value

Initial Value

1000 – 840 = 19.05%

840

In this hypothetical example, the index return is positive. Therefore, the payment at maturity will be $1000 plus the digital return of $135.00 or a total payment of $1,135 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. In this hypothetical example, the index return was 19.05% but you would have received a return of 13.50% over the term of the Securities.

Example 2: If, for example, in a hypothetical offering, the initial value is 840, the final value is 850 and the digital return is $135.00, then the index return would be calculated as follows:

Final Value – Initial Value

Initial Value

850 – 840 = 1.19%

840

In this hypothetical example, the index return was 1.19% but you would have received a return of 13.50% over the term of the Securities. If the index return is positive, you will receive the digital return regardless of how much or how little the index return appreciates over the initial value. Similarly, if the index return is 0% you will receive the digital return.

Example 3: If, for example, in a hypothetical offering, the initial value is 840 and the final value is 714, then the index return would be calculated as follows:

Final Value – Initial Value

Initial Value

714 – 840 = -15.00%

840

In this hypothetical example, the index return is negative. Since the index return is less than 0% but more than -20% you would receive, at maturity, the principal amount of $1,000 per Security.

In this hypothetical example, the index return was -15.00% and you would not have lost any of your initial principal investment because the index return was negative but not less than -20%. In this hypothetical example you would not have received any return on your initial principal investment and you would not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time.

Example 4: If, for example, in a hypothetical offering, the initial value is 840 and the final value is 500, then the index return would be calculated as follows:

Final Value – Initial Value

Initial Value

500 – 840 = -40.48%

840

In this hypothetical example, the index return is negative and is less than -20%. Therefore, payment at maturity will be calculated as:

$1,000 + [(index return + 20%) × $1,000]

$1,000 + [(-40.48% + 20%) × $1,000] = $795.20

Therefore, in this hypothetical example, you would receive at maturity a total payment of $795.20 for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities. In this hypothetical example, the index return was -40.48% but you would have lost 20.48% of your initial principal investment over the term of the Securities.

These examples are for illustrative purposes only. It is not possible to predict the final value of the Underlying Index on the determination date or at any other time during the term of the Securities. The initial value is subject to adjustment as set forth in “Description of Securities — Discontinuance of the Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” in the related Product Supplement.

In this Term Sheet, we have also provided under the heading “Hypothetical Return Analysis of the Securities at Maturity” the total return of owning the Securities through maturity for various closing values of the Underlying Index on the determination date.

Is there a limit on how much I can earn over the term of the Securities?

Yes. If the Securities are held to maturity and the Underlying Index is unchanged or appreciates, the total amount payable at maturity per Security is capped at $1,135.00. This means that if the final value is equal to the initial value you will receive the digital return. If the Underlying Index appreciates, no matter how much the Underlying Index may appreciate above the initial value, your return on the Securities will never exceed 13.50%.

What is the minimum required purchase?

You may purchase Securities in minimum denominations of $1,000 or in integral multiples thereof.

Is there a secondary market for Securities?

The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities and, as such, information regarding independent market pricing for the Securities may be extremely limited. You should be willing to hold your Securities until the maturity date.

Although it is not required to do so, we have been informed by our affiliate that when this offering is complete, it intends to make purchases and sales of the Securities from time to time in off-exchange transactions. If our affiliate does make such a market in the Securities, it may stop doing so at any time.

In connection with any secondary market activity in the Securities, our affiliate may post indicative prices for the Securities on a designated website or via Bloomberg. However, our affiliate is not required to post such indicative prices and may stop doing so at any time. Investors are advised that any prices shown on any website or Bloomberg page are indicative prices only and, as such, there can be no assurance that any trade could be executed at such prices. Investors should contact their brokerage firm for further information.

In addition, the issue price of the Securities includes the selling agents’ commissions paid with respect to the Securities and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities. The cost of hedging includes the profit component that our affiliate has charged in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging the transactions. The fact that the issue price of the Securities includes these commissions and hedging costs is expected to adversely affect the secondary market prices of the Securities. See “Risk Factors — The Inclusion of Commissions and Cost of Hedging in the Issue Price is Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices” and “Use of Proceeds” in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 2-I.

What is the relationship between ABN Amro Bank N.V., ABN Amro Holding N.V. and RBS Securities Inc.?

RBS Securities Inc., which we refer to as RBSSI, is an affiliate of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and ABN AMRO Holding N.V. RBSSI will act as calculation agent for the Securities, and is acting as agent for this offering. RBSSI will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of NASD Rule 2720 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA member firm’s distribution of the securities of an affiliate. See “Risk Factors — Potential Conflicts of

Interest between Holders of Securities and the Calculation Agent” and “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 2-I.

What if I have more questions?

You should read “Description of Securities” in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 2-I for a detailed description of the terms of the Securities. ABN AMRO has filed a registration statement (including a Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement in that registration statement and other documents ABN AMRO has filed with the SEC for more complete information about ABN AMRO and the offering of the Securities. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, ABN AMRO, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement if you request it by calling toll free (866) 747-4332.

Recent Developments

As described under the heading “Tell me more about ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and ABN AMRO Holding N.V.” in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 2-I, on October 17, 2007, RFS Holdings B.V., which at the time was owned by a consortium consisting of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (“RBS”), Fortis N.V., Fortis SA/NV and Banco Santander S.A., completed the acquisition of Holding, the parent of ABN AMRO Bank N.V. Subsequent to the events described therein the following has occurred:

On November 3, 2009 RBS announced that UK Financial Investments Limited (“UKFI”), which is wholly owned by the UK government, agreed to subscribe for additional B Shares of RBS raising UKFI’s economic interest in RBS to 84.4% while UKFI’s ordinary shareholdings of RBS remain at 70.3%. While B Shares are convertible into ordinary shares, UKFI has maintained its agreement not to convert its B Shares into ordinary shares to the extent its holding of ordinary shares would represent 75% or more of RBS's issued ordinary share capital. Issuance of the B Shares is subject to formal approval by the European Commission, the shareholders of RBS and other regulatory approvals.

For further information about RBS see “Tell me more about ABN AMRO Bank N.V. and ABN AMRO Holding N.V.” in the accompanying Product Supplement No. 2-I.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the risks of the Securities to which this Term Sheet relates and whether these Securities are suited to your particular circumstances before deciding to purchase them. It is important that prior to investing in these Securities you read the Product Supplement No. 2-I related to such Securities and the accompanying Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement to understand the actual terms of and the risks associated with the Securities. In addition, we urge you to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the Securities.

Market Risk, Capped Return

If the index return is less than 0% down to -20%, you will be entitled to receive only the principal amount of $1,000 per Security at maturity. In such a case, 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. If the index return decreases more than 20%, you could lose up to 80% of your initial principal investment. If the index return is zero (0%) or positive, your return will be limited to 13.50% regardless of how much the index return may appreciate above its initial level.

Credit Risk

The Securities are issued by ABN AMRO and guaranteed by ABN AMRO Holding N.V., ABN AMRO’s parent company. As a result, investors in the Securities assume the credit risk of ABN AMRO and that of ABN AMRO Holding N.V. in the event that ABN AMRO defaults on its obligations under the Securities. Any obligations or Securities sold, offered, or recommended are not deposits of ABN AMRO and are not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank or thrift, nor are they insured by the FDIC or any governmental agency.

Principal Risk

Return of principal on the Securities is only guaranteed up to $200 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities. Any payment required by the terms of the Securities is subject to our creditworthiness and the creditworthiness of Holding. If the index return decreases by more than 20% during the term of the Securities, the amount of cash paid to you at maturity will be less than the principal amount of the Securities, subject to a minimum return of $200 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities.

Liquidity Risk

The Securities will not be listed on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities and information regarding independent market pricing of the Securities may be very limited or non-existent. The value of the Securities in the secondary market, if any, will be subject to many unpredictable factors, including then prevailing market conditions.

It is important to note that many factors will contribute to the secondary market value of the Securities, and you may not receive your full principal back if the Securities are sold prior to maturity. Such factors include, but are not limited to, time to maturity, the level of the Underlying Index, volatility and interest rates.

In addition, the price, if any, at which we or another party are willing to purchase Securities in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the issue price, since the issue price included, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions, discounts or mark-ups paid with respect to the Securities, as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Securities.

Holdings of the Securities by Our Affiliates and Future Sales

Certain of our affiliates may agree to purchase for investment the portion of the Securities that has not been purchased by investors in a particular offering of Securities, which initially they intend to hold for investment purposes. As a result, upon completion of such an offering, our affiliates may own up to 15% of the aggregate face amount of the Securities. Circumstances may occur in which our interests or those

of our affiliates could be in conflict with your interests. For example, our affiliates may attempt to sell the Securities that they had been holding for investment purposes at the same time that you attempt to sell your Securities, which could depress the price, if any, at which you can sell your Securities. Moreover, the liquidity of the market for the Securities, if any, could be substantially reduced as a result of our affiliates holding the Securities. In addition, our affiliates could have substantial influence over any matter subject to consent of the security holders.

Potential Conflicts of Interest

We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the Securities, including acting as calculation agent. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Securities. While the Securities are outstanding, we or any of our affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the Securities, including in the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index or instruments related to the Underlying Index or the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. We or our affiliates may also trade in the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index or instruments related to the Underlying Index or the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index from time to time. Any of these activities could affect the value of the Underlying Index and, therefore, the value of the Securities.

You Will Not Receive Interest Payments on the Securities or Have Rights in the Stocks that Comprise the Underlying Index

You will not receive any interest payments on the Securities. As an owner of the Securities, you will not have rights that holders of the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index, including the right to vote or receive dividends.

Uncertain Tax Treatment

You should review carefully the section of the accompanying Product Supplement entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.” Although the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities are uncertain, we believe it is reasonable to treat the Securities as prepaid financial contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on current law, under this treatment you should not recognize taxable income prior to the maturity of your Securities, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange, and your gain or loss on the Securities should be capital gain or loss, and should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the Securities for more than one year. If, however, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative treatment for the Securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Securities could be affected materially and adversely. We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS, and the IRS or a court might not agree with the tax treatment described in this Term Sheet and the accompanying Product Supplement.

In December 2007, Treasury and the IRS released a notice requesting comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar instruments, which may include the Securities. The notice focuses in particular on whether to require holders of these instruments to accrue income over the term of their investment. It also asks for comments on a number of related topics, including the character of income or loss with respect to these instruments; the relevance of factors such as the nature of the underlying property to which the instruments are linked; the degree, if any, to which income (including any mandated accruals) realized by non-U.S. holders should be subject to withholding tax; and whether these instruments are or should be subject to the “constructive ownership” regime, which very generally can operate to recharacterize certain long-term capital gain as ordinary income that is subject to an interest charge. While the notice requests comments on appropriate transition rules and effective dates, any Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Securities, possibly with retroactive effect.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisers regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the Securities (including possible alternative treatments and the issues presented by the December 2007 notice), as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

HYPOTHETICAL RETURN ANALYSIS OF THE SECURITIES AT MATURITY

The following table and examples illustrate potential return scenarios on a Security that is held to maturity by an investor who purchases the Securities on the original issue date. These examples are based on various assumptions, including hypothetical values of the Underlying Index, set forth below. We cannot, however, predict the value of the Underlying Index on any date or at any other time in the future. Therefore, the table and examples set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and the returns set forth may not be the actual returns applicable to a holder of the Securities. Moreover, the Underlying Index may not appreciate or depreciate over the term of the Securities in accordance with any of the hypothetical examples below, and the size and frequency of any fluctuations in the value of the Underlying Index over the term of the Securities, which we refer to as the volatility of the Underlying Index, may be significantly different than the volatility implied by any of these examples.

(a)	The index return for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities will be equal to:

Final Value – Initial Value

Initial Value

where,

•

the initial value is the closing value of the Underlying Index on the pricing date; and

•

the final value is the closing value of the Underlying Index on the determination date.

(b)	This column shows the cash return you would receive if there were no buffer and no digital return and your payment at maturity directly reflected the performance of the Underlying Index. The digital return is $135.00 and the buffer is 20%.

(c)	at maturity you will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, a cash payment calculated as follows:

(1)

if the index returns is 0% or positive, $1,000 plus the digital return;

(2)

if the index return is less than 0% and down to and including -20%, $1,000; and

(3)

if the index return is less than -20%, $1,000 plus [(index return + 20%) x $1,000].

The Securities are not fully principal protected. If the index return is less than -20% you could lose up to 80% of your initial principal investment. In addition, you will never receive a payment at maturity greater than $1,135.00.

(d)	The total return presented is exclusive of any tax consequences of owning the Securities. You should consult your tax advisor regarding whether owning the Securities is appropriate for your tax situation. See the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Taxation” in this Term Sheet.
