ABN AMRO LaSalle

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - APRIL 23: ABN Amro Chairman Rijkman Groenink listens during a press conference with Barclays Group Chief Executive John Varley announcing the agreement on terms of merger of the two banks in Amsterdam, April 23, 2007. A Dutch court ruled that ABN Amro cannot sell its US unit LaSalle bank without putting the decision to a vote by shareholders 03 May 2007, in a Amsterdam court. The judges' decision to freeze the sale boosts a rival bid for ABN Amro by a three-bank consortium led by Royal Bank of Scotland. (Photo by Michel Porro/Getty Images).
