Gerard van Olphen, CEO SNS REAAL

"The nationalisation of SNS REAAL on 1 February 2013 marked the end of a turbulent period. By taking a number of measures, the Dutch State has reinforced the capital base of SNS REAAL. Moreover, the real estate finance portfolio of Property Finance will be transferred to a separate asset management organisation. The European Commission has temporarily approved the State aid (with the exception of the Property Finance measures) and will take a final decision on the basis of a restructuring plan, to be presented before 22 August 2013. Looking ahead, we can again focus on our core activities. We are very thankful to our customers for their continued loyalty, despite all the uncertainty and media attention in recent months." said Gerard van Olphen, Chairman of the Executive Board.
