The Dutch government’s financial holding company, NLFI (Stichting Administratiekantoor Beheer Financiële Instellingen), has revealed its intention to further reduce its stake in ABN AMRO Bank by selling depositary receipts or shares.
This move is part of a new pre-arranged trading plan aimed at decreasing NLFI’s stake from its current 40.5% to around 30%.

As part of this updated plan, NLFI and ABN AMRO have already agreed to new terms. The parties decided that if NLFI’s stake falls below 15%, they will negotiate in good faith regarding NLFI’s information rights.
Additionally, once NLFI’s ownership drops below one-third, the state entity will no longer have the right to be informed about investments or divestments by ABN AMRO exceeding €50m ($54m).
The other requirements in the partnership agreement remain unchanged.
