3 SUMMARY The following summary answers some questions that you might have regarding the Securities in general terms only. It does not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read the summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in the rest of this Pricing Supplement and in the accompanying Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under the heading Risk Factors. In addition, we urge you to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the Securities. What are the Securities? The Securities are medium-term senior notes issued by us, ABN AMRO Bank N.V., linked to the Underlying Index and have a maturity of ten years and three months, unless they are previously called by us on the call date. The Securities combine certain features of debt and equity by providing for the payment at maturity of principal plus an additional amount based on the percentage increase in value, if any, of the Underlying Index over the life of the Securities. Unlike ordinary debt securities, however, the Securities do not pay interest. What will I receive at maturity of the Securities and how is this amount calculated? Unless we have previously called the Securities, at maturity you will receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities, a cash payment equal to the sum of two amounts: (1) $1,000 and (2) the supplemental redemption amount, if any. The supplemental redemption amount for each Security will be equal to the percentage change in the value of the Underlying Index multiplied by $1,000, which is calculated as: $1,000 Final Value - Initial Value Initial Value; where, the initial value is 9,191.09, which was the closing value of the Underlying Index on August 8, 2003, the date we priced the Securities; and the final value is the closing value of the Underlying Index on the determination date. If the percentage change in the Underlying Index is equal to or less than zero, the supplemental redemption amount will be zero. The initial value and the final value are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as we describe under Description of Securities Discontinuance of the Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation in this Pricing Supplement. Assuming that the Securities have not been previously called on the call date, can you give me examples of the payment I will receive at maturity depending on the percentage change in the value of the Underlying Index? Example 1: If for example the initial value is 200 and the final value is 150, the supplemental redemption amount would be calculated as follows: Supplemental redemption amount = $1, = $ Because the supplemental redemption amount is less than zero in this case, at maturity you would receive only the principal amount of $1,000 per Security. Example 2: If for example the initial value is 200 and the final value is 210, the supplemental redemption amount would be calculated as follows: Supplemental redemption amount = $1, = $ As a result you would receive at maturity the principal amount of $1,000 plus a $50 supplemental redemption amount, or a total payment of $1,050 per Security. These examples are for illustrative purposes only. The initial value is subject to adjustment as set forth in Description of Securities Discontinuance of the Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation in this Pricing Supplement. It is not possible however to predict the closing value of the Underlying Index on the determination date. In this Pricing Supplement, we have provided under the heading Hypothetical Return Analysis of the Securities at Maturity and Upon Exercise of our PS-3

4 Call Right the total return of owning the Securities through maturity or the call date, as the case may be, for various closing values of the Underlying Index on the determination date and the call date, respectively. What is the Bank s call right and what payment will I receive if the Bank exercises its call right? We have the right to call the Securities, in whole but not in part, on August 13, 2008, which we refer to as the call date. However, we are not required to call the Securities on the call date. If we call the Securities, we will do the following: send to the trustee on the call notice date our call notice announcing that we have decided to call the Securities; specify in the call notice the call date on which you will receive payment in exchange for delivering your Securities to the trustee; and specify in the call notice the call price that will be paid to you on the call date in exchange for each of your Securities. The call price payable to you upon the exercise of our call right, will always be equal to $1,500 or 150% of the issue price, irrespective of the value of the Underlying Index on the call date. The call notice date will be 15 calendar days prior to the call date, subject to postponement as described under Description of Securities Call Notice Date. In no event, however, will we postpone the call notice date to a date that is less than 10 calendar days prior to the call date. Will I receive interest payments on the Securities? No. You will not receive any interest or other payments on the Securities before maturity. Will I get my principal back at maturity? Subject to the credit of ABN AMRO Bank, N.V., you will receive your principal back at maturity of the Securities. However, if you sell the Securities prior to maturity, you will receive the market price for the Securities, which may or may not include the return of your full principal amount. There may be little or no secondary market for the Securities. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your securities until maturity. Is there a limit on how much I can earn over the term of the Securities? No, unless we exercise our right to call the Securities. If the Securities are not previously called by us and are held to maturity, the total amount payable at maturity per Security is not capped and is determined solely by reference to the final value of the Underlying Index on the determination date. However, if the Securities are called by us, the amount payable to you on the call date will always be the call price, or $1,500 per Security, regardless of the value of the Underlying Index on the call date. Accordingly, in the event we call the Securities, the call price represents a maximum return of 50% on your investment in the Securities. What is the minimum required purchase? You may purchase Securities in minimum denominations of $1,000 or in integral multiples thereof. Is there a secondary market for Securities? We do not intend to list the Securities on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities and, as such, information regarding independent market pricing for the Securities may be limited. You should be willing to hold your Securities until the maturity date. Although they are not required to do so, we have been informed by our affiliates that when this offering is complete, they intend to make purchases and sales of the Securities from time to time in offexchange transactions. If our affiliates do make such a market in the Securities, they may stop doing so at any time. In connection with any secondary market activity in the Securities, our affiliates may post indicative prices for the Securities on a designated website or via Bloomberg. Investors should contact their brokerage firm for further information. Investors are advised that any prices shown on any website or Bloomberg page are indicative prices only and, as such, there can be no assurance that any trade could be executed at such prices. What are the tax consequences of owning the Securities? The Securities will be treated as contingent payment debt instruments for U.S. federal tax purposes. As a result, regardless of your method of PS-4

5 accounting, you will generally be required to accrue interest on a constant yield to maturity basis at a comparable yield of 4.36% compounded annually. Consequently, you will recognize taxable income even though you will receive no payment on the Securities until maturity or the call date, as the case may be. In addition, any gain recognized upon a sale, redemption or retirement of the Securities will be treated as ordinary interest income for U.S. federal tax purposes. You should review the section in this pricing supplement entitled Taxation United States Federal Income Taxation. Additionally, you are urged to consult your tax adviser regarding the tax treatment of the Securities and whether a purchase of the Securities is advisable in light of the tax treatment and your particular situation. What is the Underlying Index and how has it performed historically? The Underlying Index is a price-weighted index comprised of 30 common stocks selected at the discretion of the editors of The Wall Street Journal, which is published by Dow Jones & Company, Inc. You should read Public Information Regarding the Underlying Index in this Pricing Supplement for additional information regarding the Underlying Index. The historical high, low and quarter-end index closing values of the Underlying Index since 1999 are set forth under the heading Public Information Regarding the Underlying Index in this Pricing Supplement. Past performance of the Underlying Index, however, is not necessarily indicative of how the Underlying Index will perform in the future. Tell me more about ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

Who will determine the final value of the Underlying Index and supplemental redemption amount? We have appointed ABN AMRO Incorporated, which we refer to as AAI, to act as calculation agent for JPMorgan Chase Bank, the trustee for the Securities. As calculation agent, AAI will determine the final value of the Underlying Index and the supplemental redemption amount. The calculation agent may be required, due to events beyond our control, to adjust any of these calculations, which we describe in Discontinuance of the Underlying Index; Alternation of Method of Calculation in this Pricing Supplement. Do you have prior experience in issuing Securities? Over the past 5 years we have issued over EUR 5 billion of index or basket linked securities to investors worldwide.

Our previous issues have been linked to a wide variety of stocks, commodities, equity indices and specially structured baskets of stocks from around the world. Who invests in the Securities? The Securities are not suitable for all investors. The Securities might be considered by investors who: are willing to risk receiving no return on their initial investment in return for the opportunity to benefit from the appreciation, if any, in the value of the Underlying Index over the life of the Securities; do not require an interest income stream; prefer an investment that returns the principal amount at maturity notwithstanding the appreciation or depreciation of the Underlying Index; and are willing to hold the Securities until maturity. You should carefully consider whether the Securities are suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them. In addition, we urge you to consult with your investment, legal, PS-5

6 accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the Securities. What are some of the risks in owning the Securities? Investing in the Securities involves a number of risks. We have described the most significant risks relating to the Securities under the heading Risk Factors in this Pricing Supplement which you should read before making an investment in the Securities. Some selected risk considerations include: Credit Risk. Because you are purchasing a security from us, you are assuming our credit risk and you have no rights against any other person. The Securities constitute our general, unsecured and unsubordinated contractual obligation. Principal Risk. Assuming that the Securities are not previously called by us on the call date, the Securities will return the principal amount only if held to maturity; sales in the secondary market, if any, prior to maturity may not repay the full principal amount. Market Risk. If we have not previously called the Securities and the final value of the Underlying Index is equal to or lower than the initial value, you will be entitled to receive at maturity only the principal amount of your Securities. In such a case, you will receive no return on your investment in the Securities and you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time. Moreover, if you sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, if any, you will receive the market price for the Securities, which may or may not include the return of your full principal amount. The value of the Securities in the secondary market, if any, will be subject to many unpredictable factors, including then prevailing market conditions. closing value at the Underlying Index on the call date. In addition, our ability to call the Securities may adversely affect the value of the Securities on the secondary market if any. Liquidity Risk. We do not intend to list the Securities on any securities exchange. Accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities and information regarding independent market pricing for the Securities may be limited. The value of the Securities in the secondary market, if any, will be subject to many unpredictable factors, including then prevailing market conditions. What if I have more questions? You should read the Description of Securities in this Pricing Supplement for a detailed description of the terms of the Securities. The Securities are senior notes issued as part of our Series A mediumterm note program. The Securities will constitute our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank pari passu without any preference among them and with all our other present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. You can find a general description of our Series A medium-term note program in the accompanying Prospectus Supplement. We also describe the basic features of this type of note in the sections of the Pricing Supplement called Description of Notes and Notes Linked to Commodity Prices, Single Securities, Baskets of Securities or Indices. You may contact our principal executive offices at Gustav Mahleraan 10, 1082 PP Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Our telephone number is (31-20) Call Risk. Our right to call the Securities on the call date limits the amount you can earn on the Securities in the event we exercise such call right. If we call the Securities on the call date we will pay you the call price of $1 500 per Security regardless of the PS-6

7 RISK FACTORS The Securities are not secured debt and unlike ordinary debt securities, the Securities do not pay interest. Investing in the Securities is not the equivalent of investing directly in the Underlying Index. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the Securities. You should carefully consider whether the Securities are suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them. In addition, we urge you to consult with your investment, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors with respect to any investment in the Securities. Securities Are Not Ordinary Senior Notes; Securities May Not Return More than Your Initial Investment The Securities combine features of debt and equity. The terms of the Securities differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we will not pay interest on the Securities. In addition, if the Securities are not called by us on the call date and the final value of the Underlying Index is equal to or lower than the initial value, you will be entitled to receive only the principal amount of your Securities at maturity. In such a case, you will receive no return on your investment in the Securities and you will not be compensated for any loss in value due to inflation and other factors relating to the value of money over time. We cannot predict the future performance of the Underlying Index based on its historical performance. The Securities Are Subject to Our Call Right which may Adversely Affect the Value of the Securities We have the right to call the Securities, in whole but not in part, on August 13, 2008, which we refer to as the call date. If we call the Securities, on the call date we will pay you the call price of $1,500 regardless of the closing value of the Underlying Index on the call date. The call price that you will receive may represent a return on your investment that is less than the actual return on the Underlying Index during the term of the Securities through the call date. Moreover, if we call the Securities, the call price that you will receive may be less than the amount that you would otherwise have been entitled to receive had you continued to hold the Securities until maturity or had you sold the Securities in the secondary market, if any, on or prior to the call notice date. Even if we do not call the Securities, our ability to do so may adversely affect the value of your Securities in the secondary market, if any. Market Price of the Securities Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors The value of the Securities may move up and down between the date you purchase them and the maturity date. Several factors, most of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the Securities, including: the value of the Underlying Index, which can fluctuate significantly; interest and yield rates in the market; the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in value) of the Underlying Index; economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events that affect the securities underlying the Underlying Index or stock markets generally and which may affect the closing index levels of the Underlying Index; the time remaining until (1) we can call the Securities and (2) the maturity of the Securities; the dividend rate on the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. While dividend payments, if any, on the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index, are not paid to holders of the Securities, such payments may have an influence on the market price of such stocks and therefore on the Securities; and our creditworthiness. Any person who purchases the Securities is relying upon our creditworthiness and has no rights against any other person. The Securities constitute our general, unsecured and unsubordinated contractual obligation. Some or all of these factors will influence the price that you will receive if you sell your Securities prior to maturity (or the call date if we call the Securities) in the secondary market, if any. If you sell your Securities prior to PS-7

8 maturity or the call date, the price at which you are able to sell your Securities may be at a discount, which could be substantial, from the principal amount. For example, there may be a discount on the Securities if at the time of sale the Underlying Index is at or below the initial value or if market interest rates rise. Even if there is an appreciation in the Underlying Index above the initial value, there may be a discount on the Securities based on the time remaining to the call date and/or the maturity of the Securities. Thus, if you sell your Security before maturity or the call date, as the case may be, you may not receive back your entire principal amount. Some or all of these factors will influence the return, if any, that you receive upon maturity of the Securities (if the Securities are not previously called by us on the call date). You cannot predict the future performance of the Securities or of the Underlying Index based on the historical performance of the Underlying Index. We cannot guarantee that the value of the Underlying Index will increase so that you will receive at maturity an amount in excess of the principal amount of the Securities. Investment in the Securities is Not the Same as a Direct Investment in the Stocks that Comprise the Underlying Index An investment in the Securities is not the same as a direct investment in the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. This is due to the fact that Dow Jones & Company, Inc., the Index Sponsor, does not adjust the valuations of the Underlying Index for the payment of cash dividends on the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. Therefore, the calculation of the supplemental redemption amount is not adjusted for the payment of such dividends and as a result, the return on your investment is not the same as the return on a comparable direct investment in the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index held for the same period of time. Furthermore, you will not receive any payment of dividends on such underlying stocks. We Do Not Intend to List the Securities on any Securities Exchange; Secondary Trading May Be Limited You should be willing to hold your Securities until the maturity date. We do not intend to list the Securities on any securities exchange; accordingly, there may be little or no secondary market for the Securities and information regarding independent market pricing for the Securities may be limited. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Securities easily. Upon completion of the offering, our affiliates have informed us that they intend to purchase and sell the Securities from time to time in off-exchange transactions, but they are not required to do so. If our affiliates do make such a market in the Securities, they may stop doing so at any time. In addition, the total aggregate principal amount of the Securities being offered was not purchased by investors in the offering. One or more of our affiliates has agreed to purchase the unsold portion, which does not exceed $260,000, for its own investment. Such affiliate or affiliates intends to hold the Securities for investment for at least 30 days, which may affect the supply of Securities available for secondary trading. Tax Treatment You should also consider the tax consequences of investing in the Securities. The Securities are best suited for accounts (including non-u.s. accounts) not subject to U.S. federal income taxes. If you are a U.S. investor subject to U.S. taxation, regardless of the final return on the Securities, you will be subject to annual income tax based on the comparable yield of the Securities of 4.36% compounded annually, even though you receive no payment on the Securities until maturity or the call date, as the case may be. In addition, any gain recognized by a U.S. taxable investors on the sale, exchange or retirement of the Securities will generally be treated as ordinary income. Please read carefully the section below entitled Taxation United States Federal Income Taxation. You should consult your tax advisor about your own situation. No Affiliation with Index Sponsor; Adjustments to the Underlying Index Could Adversely Affect the Value of the Securities Dow Jones & Company, Inc., which we refer to as the Index Sponsor, is responsible for calculating and maintaining the Underlying Index. The Index Sponsor, is not an affiliate of ours and is not involved with this offering in any way. The Index Sponsor can add, delete or substitute the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the Underlying Index. The Index Sponsor may also discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the Underlying Index at any time. Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of the Securities in unpredictable ways. PS-8

9 If the Index Sponsor discontinues publication of the Underlying Index or materially modifies its methods of calculation of the Underlying Index, AAI, as calculation agent, will have to determine one or more index closing values itself, or make such adjustments or calculations to the modified Underlying Index so as to arrive at one or more index closing values comparable to the Underlying Index as originally calculated. In either of these circumstances, the calculation agent may be required to make good faith estimates of closing prices of underlying stocks, calculation methodologies or index levels. While the calculation agent will endeavor to make such determinations accurately and in good faith, there can be no assurance that the calculation agent will be able to do so. Therefore, a discontinuance or material modification of the Underlying Index may adversely affect the value of the Securities. Hedging and Trading Activities by Us or Our Affiliates Could Affect Prices of Securities We and our affiliates may carry out activities that minimize our risks related to the Securities. In particular, on the date of this Pricing Supplement, we, through our affiliates, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the Securities by taking positions in the stocks (or options or futures contracts on the stocks) that comprise the Underlying Index, exchange-traded funds that track the Underlying Index, options or futures on the Underlying Index or in other instruments that we deemed appropriate in connection with such hedging. Such hedging is carried out in a manner designed to minimize any impact on the closing value of the Underlying Index. Our trading activities, however, could potentially have altered the value of the Underlying Index and therefore affected the calculation of the supplemental redemption amount. We or our affiliates are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the term of the Securities by purchasing and selling the stocks (or options or futures contracts on the stocks) that comprise the Underlying Index, exchange-traded funds that track the Underlying Index, options or futures on the Underlying Index or other instruments that we deem appropriate. Although we have no reason to believe that our hedging activity or other trading activities which we, or any or our affiliates, engage in or may engage in have had or will have a material impact on the value of the Underlying Index, we cannot give any assurance that we have not or will not affect such value as a result of our hedging or trading activities. It is also possible that we or one of more of our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the value of the Securities may decline. We or one or more of our affiliates may also engage in trading the stocks (or options or futures contracts on the stocks) that comprise the Underlying Index, exchange-trade funds that track the Underlying Index or options or futures on the Underlying Index on a regular basis as part of our or their general broker-dealer activities and other businesses, for proprietary accounts, for other accounts under management or to facilitate transactions for customers, including through block transactions. Any of these activities could adversely affect the value of the Underlying Index and, therefore, the value of the Securities. We or one or more of our affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the value of the Underlying Index or stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we or one or more of our affiliates could adversely affect the value of the Securities. No Security Interest or Shareholder Rights in the Stocks that Comprise the Underlying Index Held by Us Neither we nor any of our affiliates will pledge or otherwise hold the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index or exchange-traded funds that track the Underlying Index, any option or futures contract or any other asset for the benefit of holders of the Securities under any circumstances. Consequently, in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation involving us, any of such assets will be subject to the claims of our creditors generally and will not be available specifically for the benefit of the holders of the Securities. In addition, as an investor in the Securities, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the stocks that comprise the Underlying Index. Moreover, the indenture governing the Securities does not contain any restriction on our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to buy, sell, pledge or otherwise convey all or any portion of stocks (or options or futures contracts on the stocks) that comprise the Underlying Index, exchange-traded funds that track the Underlying Index, options or futures on the Underlying Index or other instruments that we deemed appropriate. PS-9

10 Potential Conflicts of Interest between Security Holders and the Calculation Agent As calculation agent, our affiliate AAI will calculate the payment due to you upon maturity of the Securities or in connection with our call of the Securities, and may have to make additional calculations if the Underlying Index is discontinued, suspended or modified. AAI and our other affiliates may carry out hedging activities related to the Securities, including trading in the stocks (or options or futures contracts on the stocks) that comprise the Underlying Index, exchange-traded funds that track the Underlying Index, options or futures on the Underlying Index or other instruments that it or they deem appropriate in connection with such hedging. AAI and some of our other affiliates also trade stocks (and options and futures on stocks) that comprise the Underlying Index, exchangetraded funds that track the Underlying Index, and options or futures on the Underlying Index on a regular basis as part of its general broker dealer and other businesses. Any of these activities could influence AAI s determinations as calculation agent and any such trading activity could potentially affect the value of the Underlying Index and, accordingly, could effect the payout on the Securities at maturity. As such, potential conflicts of interest may exist between AAI or its affiliates and you. Holdings of the Securities by Our Affiliates and Future Sales Certain of our affiliates have agreed to purchase for investment Securities with an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $260,000, which they intend to hold for a period of at least 30 days. As a result, upon completion of this offering, our affiliates will own up to approximately 10% of the Securities. Circumstances may occur in which our interests or those of our affiliates could be in conflict with your interests. In addition, if a substantial portion of the Securities held by our affiliates were to be sold in the secondary market following this offering, the market price of the Securities may be adversely affected. The negative effect of such sales on the value of the Securities could be more pronounced if secondary trading in the Securities is limited or illiquid. PS-10

11 HYPOTHETICAL RETURN ANALYSIS OF THE SECURITIES AT MATURITY AND UPON EXERCISE OF OUR CALL RIGHT The following tables illustrate potential return scenarios per Security at maturity and upon the exercise of our call right, respectively, for an investor who purchases the Securities on the original issue date, based on various assumptions, including hypothetical closing values for the Underlying Index. We cannot, however, predict the closing value of the Underlying Index at any time in the future. Therefore, the examples set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and the returns set forth in the table may not be the actual returns applicable to a purchaser of the Securities. Moreover, the Underlying Index may not appreciate or depreciate over the term of the Securities as indicated below, and the size and frequency of any fluctuations in the value of the Underlying Index over the term of the Securities, which we refer to as the volatility of the Underlying Index, may be significantly different than the volatility implied by the examples below.

14 PUBLIC INFORMATION REGARDING THE UNDERLYING INDEX We have derived all information contained in this Pricing Supplement regarding the Underlying Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information. That information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, the Dow Jones & Company, Inc. (the Index Sponsor ). The Underlying Index was developed by Index Sponsor, and is calculated and maintained by Index Sponsor. The Index Sponsor has no obligation to continue to calculate and publish, and may alter or discontinue calculation and publication of the Underlying Index at any time. The consequences of the Index Sponsor discontinuing the Underlying Index are described in Description of the Notes Discontinuance of the Underlying Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation. Neither we nor our affiliates are responsible for, or assume any responsibility for, the accuracy or completeness of such information. Publication The Underlying Index is a price-weighted index comprised of 30 common stocks selected at the discretion of the editors of The Wall Street Journal (the "WSJ"). The Underlying Index is published by the Index Sponsor, as representative of the broad market of U.S. industry. There are no pre-determined criteria for selection of a component stock except that component companies represented by the Underlying Index should be established U.S. companies that are leaders in their industries. The Underlying Index serves as a measure of the entire U.S. market such as financial services, technology, retail, entertainment and consumer goods and is not limited to traditionally defined industrial stocks. Changes in the composition of the Underlying Index are made entirely at the sole discretion of the editors of the WSJ without consultation with the component companies represented in the Underlying Index, any stock exchange, any official agency or us. In order to maintain continuity, changes to the component stocks included in the Underlying Index tend to be made infrequently and generally occur only after corporate acquisitions or other dramatic shifts in a component company's core business. When one component stock is replaced, the entire index is reviewed. As a result, multiple component changes are often implemented simultaneously. The component stocks of the Underlying Index may be changed at any time for any reason. A stock is typically added only if it has an excellent reputation, demonstrates sustained growth, is of interest to a large number of investors and accurately represents the sectors covered by the Underlying Index. Computation of the Dow Jones Industrial Average The Underlying Index is price weighted rather than market capitalization weighted. Therefore, the component stock weightings are affected only by changes in the stocks' prices, in contrast with the weightings of other indices that are affected by both price changes and changes in the number of shares outstanding. The value of the Underlying Index is the sum of the primary exchange prices of each of the 30 common stocks included in the Underlying Index, divided by a divisor. The divisor is changed in accordance with the mathematical formula below to adjust for stock dividends, splits, spin-offs and other corporate actions such as rights offerings and extraordinary dividends. Normal cash dividends are not taken into account in the calculation of the Underlying Index. The current divisor of the Underlying Index is published daily in the WSJ and other publications. While this methodology reflects current practice in calculating the Underlying Index, no assurance can be given that the Index Sponsor will not modify or change this methodology in a manner that may affect the supplemental redemption amount. The formula used to calculate divisor adjustments is: Adjusted Sum of Prices Divisor = Current Divisor x Unadjusted Sum of Prices Each component company of the Underlying Index as of August 7, 2003 is set forth in the following table. Twenty-eight of the Underlying Index component companies are traded on the NYSE, and Intel Corporation and Microsoft Corporation are traded on the Nasdaq National Market. Alcoa Inc. Altria Group Inc. American Express Co. AT&T Corp. Honeywell International Inc. Intel Corp. International Business Machines Corp. International Paper Co. PS-14
