                  SHARE SPLIT FOR ROBECO, ROLINCO AND RORENTO

The Robeco Group wishes to announce that the split of the ordinary shares of
Robeco, Rolinco and Rorento will be implemented on the various exchanges where
the funds are listed on 28 May 2001.

Shares in Robeco and Rolinco will be split into four new shares for one old
share, and shares in Rorento will be split into two new shares for one old
share.

The share split of Robeco, Rolinco and Rorento is the result of a decision made
by the respective General Meetings of Shareholders (Robeco and Rolinco 24 April
2001, Rorento 2 May 2001) on a proposal made by the respective management
boards.

It was also decided at the three General Meetings to convert the nominal value
of the shares into euros.  This redenomination into euros will also take place
on 28 May 2001.

Shareholders who hold their shares with a bank or broker, or via the account
systems of the Robeco Group or Rabobank, either in the Netherlands or abroad, do
not have to take any action; the change will be shown on their custody or
account statements.

The share split and the redenomination into euros will also be announced in an
advertisement in several national daily newspapers.
