ABN Amro Agrees to Sell Itself to Barclays for $91 Billion

How well are ABN AMRO and Barclays Connected Before the Merger?
According to IntellectSpace, only one common connection exists between the Board of Directors of Barclays and ABN AMRO. This signifies a weak relationship between the two firms and may jeopardize the merger talks between them. The following Knowledge Map shows the only common Board connection - between Matthew Hickman and Hans Joerg Rudloff via CSFB. fn.intellectspace.com/... (View in IE Explorer 4.0+ only)


However, there is a strong relationship between the banks' executives. The Knowledge Map below shows that Lazard, Bank of New York, Lehman Brothers, and other financial institutions act as a common thread between ABN Amro and Barclays. fn.intellectspace.com/... (View in IE Explorer 4.0+ only)
