[tag]ABN Amro ADR [/tag]used to trade on the NYSE with the ticker ABN. A few months ago a consortium of banks led by Fortis(Holland), [tag]RBS[/tag] (UK) and Santander (Spain) acquired ABN Amro. As a result of this, ABN’s ADR is now trading in the OTC market under the ticker ABNYY.

In March, the company issued a press release stating that it was de-listing the ADR from NYSE. ADR investors will receive mostly cash and some stock due to the takeover by the consortium.
