Securities should be based on a consideration of this Prospectus as a whole, including the documents
incorporated by reference, by any investor. The Issuer has civil liability in respect of this summary, if it is

Rabobank
Rabobank Group is an international financial service provider operating on the basis of cooperative principles.
It comprises 153 independent local Rabobanks and their central organisation Rabobank Nederland and its
subsidiaries. Rabobank Group operates in 45 countries. Its operations include domestic retail banking,
wholesale and international retail banking, asset management and investment, leasing and real estate. It serves
approximately 9.5 million clients around the world. In the Netherlands, its focus is on all-finance services
and, internationally, on food and agriculture. The Rabobank Group entities have strong internal relationships
due to Rabobank's cooperative structure.
Rabobank Group has the highest credit rating awarded by the international rating agencies Standard & Poor's
(AAA since 1981) and Moody's (Aaa since 1981). In terms of Tier I capital, Rabobank Group is among the
world's 20 largest financial institutions.
Rabobank Group's cooperative core business comprises independent local Rabobanks. Clients can become
members of their local Rabobank. In turn, the local Rabobanks are members of Rabobank Nederland, the
supralocal cooperative organisation that advises and supports the banks in their local services. Rabobank
Nederland also supervises the operations, sourcing, solvency and liquidity of the local Rabobanks. With
approximately 1,100 branches and nearly 3,100 cash-dispensing machines, the local Rabobanks form a dense
banking network in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, the local Rabobanks serve approximately 7.5 million
clients, both private and corporate, offering a comprehensive package of financial services.
Rabobank Nederland is the holding company of a number of specialised subsidiaries in the Netherlands and
abroad. Rabobank International is Rabobank Group's wholesale bank and international retail bank.
At December 31, 2008, the Rabobank Group had total assets of 612.1 billion, a private sector loan portfolio
of 408.6 billion, amounts due to customers of 304.2 billion, saving deposits of 114.7 billion and equity
of 33.5 billion. At December 31, 2008, its Tier I ratio, which is the ratio between core capital and total risk-
weighted assets, was 12.7%. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Rabobank Group's efficiency ratio
was 65.3%, and return on equity, or net profit expressed as a percentage of core capital, was 9.7%. For the
year ended December 31, 2008, the Rabobank Group realised a 2% rise in net profit to 2.8 billion and a
risk-adjusted return on capital ("RAROC"), of 12.5% after tax. At December 31, 2008, the Rabobank Group
had 60,568 full-time employees.
Objectives
According to article 3 of its articles of association, the objective of Rabobank Nederland is to promote the
interests of its members, the local Rabobanks. It shall do so by: (i) promoting the establishment, continued
existence and development of cooperative banks; (ii) conducting the business of banking in the widest sense,
especially by acting as central bank for its members and as such entering into agreements with its members;
(iii) negotiating rights on behalf of its members and, with due observance of the relevant provisions of the
articles of association, entering into commitments on their behalf, provided that such commitments have the

6

same implications for all its members, including the entering into collective labour agreements on behalf of its
members; (iv) participating in, managing and providing services to other enterprises and institutions, in
particular enterprises and institutions operating in the fields of insurance, lending, investments and/or other
financial services; (v) supervising the local Rabobanks in accordance with the provisions of the Financial
Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht); and (vi) doing all such other things as may be regarded as
being incidental or conducive to the attainment of the objectives specified above.
Market shares in the Netherlands
As an all-finance service provider, Rabobank Group offers a comprehensive package of financial products and
services.
Residential mortgages: At December 31, 2008, the Rabobank Group had a market share of approximately
30% of new home mortgages in the Dutch mortgage market by value (source: Dutch Land Registry Office
(Kadaster)).
Savings deposits of individuals: At December 31, 2008, the Rabobank Group had a market share of
approximately 43% of the Dutch savings market (source: Statistics Netherlands (Centraal Bureau voor de
Statistiek)).
Lending to small and medium-sized enterprises: At December 31, 2008, the Rabobank Group had a market
share of approximately 39% of domestic loans to the trade, industry and services sector (source: measured by
Rabobank's own surveys).
Agricultural loans: At December 31, 2008, the Rabobank Group had a market share of approximately 84% of
loans and advances made by banks to the Dutch primary agricultural sector (source: measured by Rabobank's
own surveys).
Asset quality record
In 2008 Rabobank's bad debt costs were 31 basis points of average lending, which is higher than the long-
term average of 21 basis points. This ratio provides an indication of the probability of loan losses and reflects
Rabobank Group's favourable credit risk profile.
At December 31, 2008, economic country risk exposure to non-OECD countries represented 3.1% of the
Rabobank Group's total assets. Having taken into account country risk-reducing components, net country risk
before provisions amounted to 1.2% of Rabobank's total assets.
Capitalisation
As a result of Rabobank's co-operative ownership structure it is not allowed to pay dividends, which benefits
its capital base. At December 31, 2008, Rabobank's Tier 1 ratio was 12.7%.
Exchange Offers
On May 15, 2009, the Issuer made an offer to the holders of the U.S.$1.75 billion non-cumulative guaranteed
trust preferred securities of Rabobank Capital Funding Trust II and the U.S.$1.50 billion non-cumulative
guaranteed trust preferred securities of Rabobank Capital Funding Trust III to exchange such TPS for New
Capital Securities to be issued by the Issuer.
In connection with each Exchange Offer, the Issuer also announced on May 15, 2009 the solicitation of
consents (the "Consent Solicitations") of the holders of the applicable series of TPS to a proposed amendment
to each of the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated November 21, 2003 relating to the TPS II and

7

the Amended and Restated Trust Agreement dated October 21, 2004 relating to the TPS III (together, the
"Trust Agreements"). The proposed amendments will have the effect of enabling the purchase of the TPS in
the Exchange Offers relating to the applicable series of TPS by amending a certain restrictive provision in that
regard (the "Proposed Amendment").
The purchase of the TPS in each Exchange Offer is conditioned upon (i)(a) the receipt of the consent of the
holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding aggregate liquidation preference amount of the
applicable series of TPS (as such terms are defined in the Trust Agreements), each voting as a separate class to
the Proposed Amendment and (b) the effectiveness of the Proposed Amendment and (ii) on or before the May
28, 2009, either (a) TPS of the relevant series representing at least U.S.$500,000,000 of the aggregate
liquidation preference amount of such series having been validly tendered and not withdrawn for exchange
(the "Minimum Tender Amount") or (b) TPS of both series representing at least U.S.$750,000,000 of the
aggregate liquidation preference amount of both series having been validly tendered and not withdrawn for
exchange (the "Aggregate Minimum Tender Amount"). The Issuer may, in its sole discretion, amend,
terminate or withdraw each and any of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations at any time prior to
June 12, 2009 and may, in its sole discretion, waive each and any of the conditions to the Exchange Offers,
except for the condition of the required prior effectiveness of the Proposed Amendment if it accepts TPS for
exchange.
The Issuer has received the requisite number of consents required to effect the Proposed Amendment and has
achieved the Minimum Tender Amounts and therefore intends to accept for exchange TPS validly tendered
and not withdrawn under the Exchange Offers. As at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on May 28, 2009 (the
"Early Participation Deadline"), the aggregate participation rate for the Exchange Offers was approximately
54.1% of the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities. Approximately U.S.$1,013,623,000, or 57.9%, face value
of the TPS II and approximately U.S.$743,275,000, or 49.6%, face value of the TPS III have been tendered
for exchange, which are expected to be exchanged for U.S.$1,368,297,000 of New Capital Securities. The
Exchange Offers and offering of the Additional New Capital Securities will therefore result in an aggregate
issuance of Capital Securities of U.S.$2,868,297,000.
New Capital Securities are expected to be issued on June 4, 2009, in exchange for any TPS validly tendered
and not withdrawn by the Early Participation Deadline. Each Exchange Offer will expire at midnight, New
York City time, on June 12, 2009, unless extended by Rabobank Nederland. New Capital Securities are
expected to be issued on June 18, 2009 in exchange for any TPS validly tendered and not withdrawn after the
Early Participation Deadline but prior to midnight, New York City time, on June 12, 2009.
