BNP Paribas Fortis Bank loan and public offer on Fortis Finance debt

Fortis will not take up a EUR 760 mio tranche of a EUR 1.0 bn loan facility provided by Fortis Bank

‒ Facility was granted to refinance acquisition of equity stake in Royal Park Investments

‒ Fortis had until end of September to decide

‒ Taking up this facility would have impacted net interest income negatively and would only temporarily have provided additional liquidity

‒ Fortis has until May 2010 to decide on the remaining EUR 240 mio facility

Public offer by Fortis Finance on the European Medium Term Note programme and Inflation Linked Notes announced on 24 September

‒ Amount outstanding at 30 June 2009: EUR 1 bn

‒ Public offer at the same price as the early redemption procedure announced on 8 December 2008

‒ Positive effect on interest income due to high fixed coupon

Profile of General Account

Net interest income is dependent on investment profile of the net cash position

Successful public offer on EMTN programme and Inflation linked Notes should increase net interest income

Volatility in Treasury and Financial markets mainly driven by the BNP Paribas call option and RPN(I)

Excluding volatile items, results will depend on the investment policy for the net cash position. If invested in bonds, higher net interest income could result in a slightly positive net result

Recap General Account

Fortis will not take up a EUR 760 mio tranche of a EUR 1.0 bn loan facility provided by BNP Paribas Fortis Bank

Announcement of public offer on the European Medium Term Note programme and Inflation Linked Notes on 24 September

Ranking of employment of Capital

Determine amount of discretionary capital that can be invested, leaving enough buffer to cope with volatility reduces the risk of forced sales

Investment in businesses should be preferred as long as returns on investments are expected to exceed cost of equity

If no investment opportunities in businesses are envisaged or possible, one should start to redeem capital with highest cost, being equity

Key investment criteriaCritical size

Meaningful contribution

Return in excess of cost of equity while taking into account the specificities of the business

When evaluating the return generation and the profit contribution of growth businesses, the expected value creation will also be taken into consideration

Fortis does not intend a buy back of hybrid instruments at this stage

Conclusion

Strong recurring insurance profits

Strong capital position of insurance activities is justified in present circumstances

A further detailed review of the local capital models of the insurance activities could lead to a release of capital over time. A minimum solvency ratio of 200% is expected to be maintained

Carefully managed General Account could include substantial upside

Part of discretionary capital in General Account aims to be invested in businesses to enhance shareholder value

Dividend policy to a target pay-out of 40% to 50% of the net profit of the Insurance businesses
