Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as special counsel to ABN AMRO Bank N.V., a
limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the
Netherlands (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and
filing of registration statement number 333-49198 on Form F-3 (the
"Registration Statement"), and a supplemental prospectus thereto dated
November 27, 2000 (the "Supplemental Prospectus"). This opinion is
being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(8)
of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act").
We have reviewed the discussion contained under the heading
"United States Federal Taxation" in the Supplemental Prospectus. In
our opinion, such discussion sets forth the material U.S. federal
income tax considerations applicable generally to U.S. holders of the
securities offered pursuant to the Supplemental Prospectus (the
"Securities") as a result of the ownership and disposition of the
Securities.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement and to the reference to this firm under
the heading "Legal Matters" in the Supplemental Prospectus which forms
a part thereof. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that
we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the
Commission promulgated thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP
