The Fortis share
The Fortis share represents one unified share in the Belgian and Dutch parent companies Fortis SA/NV and Fortis N.V. respectively. The share replaces the former Fortis (B) and Fortis (NL) shares and was first listed on 17 December 2001. At the end of 2007 the number of outstanding Fortis shares carrying voting rights and entitled to dividend was 2,201,559,674. The increase of 898.4 million shares compared with year-end 2006 was largely due to a rights issue in connection with the ABN AMRO acquisition. This capital increase via preferential rights of EUR 13.4 billion implied a subscription price of EUR 15.00 per new share on the basis of two new shares for every three existing shares.
