The Belgian government has reached an agreement with BNP Paribas on the subsequent transfer of a majority interest in Fortis Bank SA/NV. Furthermore, Fortis announces that BNP Paribas will acquire 100% of Fortis Insurance Belgium. Last night, the Fortis Board of Directors has approved these transactions.

'As a result of this transaction, the Fortis Group is exiting the banking business and the Belgian insurance business,' comments Fortis CEO Filip Dierckx.

The proceeds from the sale, announced on 3 October 2008, of the Dutch activities to the Dutch State for EUR 16.8 billion have been allocated as follows:
EUR 12.8 billion received for the Dutch banking activities (including ABN AMRO) remains within Fortis Bank;

After these transactions, the assets of Fortis Group will consist of a 100% participation in Fortis Insurance International NV (first half 2008 net profit of EUR 102 million; insurance activities: the 100% owned activities in the UK, France and Hong Kong, and joint-ventures in Luxembourg, Portugal, China, Malaysia, India and Thailand), the 66% participation in the Structured Credit Portfolio entity mentioned above and cash.
