Abstract:

The case discusses the acquisition of ABN AMRO by a consortium of three banks - Royal Bank of Scotland, Fortis and Banco Santander Central Hispano. The case examines in detail the bidding war between the consortium and another contender Barclays. Both the parties were keen on acquiring ABN AMRO and went on increasing the bid amount. Ultimately, after a six-month battle, the consortium emerged the winner, after it agreed to pay US$ 100 billion in what was touted as the biggest acquisition in the European banking sector. The case also discusses in detail the financial aspects of the deal and the challenges the consortium members could face in integrating the different divisions of ABN AMRO into their own operations.
