Santander Improves Takeover Bid Over 20% It Does Not Control Of Santander Consumer USA

The US subsidiary of Banco Santander has reached a definitive agreement to buy the 20% that it does not control of Santander Consumer USA and has improved its public offer of acquisition (OPA) to an amount of 2.49 billion dollars (about 2.1 billion euros) .

Specifically, the entity has offered to buy the more than 60 million shares of the consumer finance branch that it does not yet own at a price of $ 41.50 per security in cash, above the $ 39 it initially offered.

The price offered represents a premium of 14% compared to the closing price of Santander Consumer USA’s common share on July 1, which was $ 36.43 per share.

Santander Holdings USA, the subsidiary in the North American country of Banco Santander, already owns 80.25% of Santander Consumer USA, equivalent to 245.6 million shares.

The US subsidiary of Banco Santander will acquire the ordinary shares of Santander Consumer USA that it did not yet own through a cash offer, followed by a second step consisting of a merger in which a 100% subsidiary of Santander Holdings USA will be absorbed by Santander Consumer USA.

Santander Consumer USA’s board of directors appointed a special committee made up of independent directors to negotiate and assess a potential transaction with Santander Holdings USA.

Thus, the board of directors, following the unanimous recommendation of the special committee, has unanimously agreed to recommend the offer to the shareholders of Santander Consumer USA.

For its part, the board of directors of Santander Holdings USA has approved the operation unanimously, subject to the usual conditions, including the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States.

The operation is not subject to the approval of Santander Consumer USA shareholders and is expected to be consumed by the end of October or during the fourth quarter of 2021, once regulatory approval has been received.

The entity expects that the operation will immediately contribute to Banco Santander’s profits and constitute an efficient allocation of capital.

The estimated impact on SHUSA’s CET1 at the close of the Transaction is -73 basis points. Said impact on Banco Santander’s CET1 is estimated to be approximately -10 basis points and the operation is expected to contribute to earnings per share growth of approximately 3% in 2022.
