Santander to bid for remaining 10% of Santander Brasil in deal worth up to 1.9 billion euros
Santander's voluntary tender offer for the remaining ~10% of Santander Brasil at a 15% premium (up to €1.9bn) signals confidence in the unit's strategic value and aims to improve long-term earnings growth and organic capital generation. The lack of a minimum acceptance condition reduces execution risk, while planned issuance of ~1.1% new shares and management's "neutral" capital-ratio impact should limit balance-sheet concerns.
