荷兰政府拟将ABN Amro持股降至10.5%，继续退出银行股权
ABN Amro银行10月7日星期三表示，荷兰政府将通过出售存托凭证，把在这家银行的持股从20.7%降至10.5%。这是旨在继续降低国家持股的第五个交易计划。
该行表示，一旦政府持股降至10%以下，其与荷兰国家投资机构NLFI之间赋予后者特定信息权的关联协议将终止。NLFI是荷兰政府持有银行股权的载体。
荷兰政府在金融危机时期对国内银行业实施救助后长期持有ABN Amro股份，近年来通过多轮交易计划逐步减持。此次降至10.5%意味着国家退出又迈出实质一步。
ABN Amro是荷兰三大银行之一，总部位于阿姆斯特丹。减持计划的具体执行将按交易计划在市场中分批进行。
Dutch State to Cut ABN Amro Stake to 10.5% in Fifth Sell-Down Plan
ABN Amro said on Wednesday, October 7, that the Dutch government will reduce its stake in the bank to 10.5% from 20.7% by selling certificates of shares, under a fifth trading plan aimed at further cutting the state's holding.
The lender said its relationship agreement with the Dutch state's investment vehicle NLFI, which grants it certain information rights, will be terminated once the government's stake falls below 10%. NLFI is the vehicle through which the state holds its bank shares.
The Dutch state took its ABN Amro stake during financial-crisis-era rescues of the banking sector and has been gradually selling down through successive trading plans in recent years. The move to 10.5% marks another substantial step in that exit.
ABN Amro, headquartered in Amsterdam, is one of the Netherlands' three largest banks. The sell-down will be executed in tranches under the trading plan.
