Nota de Prensa |
Santander anuncia una oferta de adquisición por el 25% de su filial en Brasil
Madrid, 29 de abril de 2014. El consejo de administración de Banco Santander ha aprobado la realización de una oferta para la adquisición de la totalidad de las acciones de Banco Santander Brasil que no son titularidad del Grupo Santander y que representan, aproximadamente, el 25% del capital de Banco Santander Brasil. Banco Santander ofrecerá una prima del 20% sobre la última cotización. El importe de la operación, que se espera esté culminada en octubre de este año, será pagado en acciones de Banco Santander.
La oferta es voluntaria, de manera que los accionistas minoritarios de Santander Brasil podrán acudir o no a la misma, y no está condicionada a un nivel mínimo de aceptación. Santander adquirirá todas las acciones que acepten la oferta y no tiene intención de excluir de cotización a Santander Brasil ni en la bolsa de Sao Pauloii ni en la de Nueva York. Las acciones de Banco Santander cotizarán en la bolsa de Sao Paulo en forma de Brazilian Depositary Receipts (BDRs).

28660 Boadilla del Monte (Madrid) Telf.: 34 91 289 52 11 |
Los accionistas que acepten la oferta recibirán, en forma de BDRs o de American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), 0,70 acciones nuevas de Banco Santander por cada unit o ADR de Santander Brasiliii.
Si acudiera a la oferta la totalidad del capital que está en manos de inversores minoritarios, Banco Santander tendría que emitir aproximadamente 665 millones de acciones, lo que equivale a un 5,8% del capital actual (4.686 millones de eurosiv).
Esta oferta es una demostración de la confianza de Banco Santander en Brasil y en su filial en este mercado así como en su potencial de crecimiento a largo plazo. Santander ofrece a los accionistas de Santander Brasil la oportunidad de canjear sus acciones con una prima del 20% o continuar como accionista de Santander Brasil.
La operación es buena tanto para los accionistas de Banco Santander Brasil como para los de la matriz, Banco Santander. Para los inversores minoritarios de Banco Santander Brasil, puesto que reciben una prima del 20%, lo que supone un múltiplo de precio sobre beneficios (PER) mayor que el de sus competidores, según el consenso de mercado. Además, lo perciben en acciones de Banco Santander, por lo que van a poder seguir beneficiándose de las ventajas de la exposición a Brasil y de un valor con elevada diversificación y perspectivas de crecimiento.
También es positiva para los accionistas de Banco Santander, puesto que incrementará su beneficio por acción (BPA) desde el primer momento. El consenso de mercado prevé que Santander Brasil obtenga un beneficio cercano a los 6.400 millones de reales brasileños en 2015 (equivalentes a aproximadamente 2.000 millones de euros) de los que, con la participación actual, el Grupo Santander se atribuiría alrededor de 1.500 millones de euros. Por tanto, si acudiera la totalidad del capital en manos de los minoritarios, Santander Brasil aportaría al Grupo Santander aproximadamente 500 millones de euros más en dicho año, incrementando un 1,3% el BPA, incremento que sería del 1,1% en 2016. El impacto en capital sería prácticamente neutral, ya que en el caso de acudir la totalidad de los minoritarios aportaría tres puntos básicos al core capital.
La oferta estará sujeta a las condiciones habituales de este tipo de operaciones, incluyendo la obtención de las correspondientes autorizaciones regulatorias y su aprobación por la junta general de accionistas de Banco Santander.

Também é positiva para os acionistas do Banco Santander, visto que aumentará o seu lucro/benefício por ação (BPA) desde o primeiro momento. Há consenso no mercado em prever que o Santander Brasil obterá um lucro próximo a R$ 6.400 milhões em 2015 (equivalentes a aproximadamente EUR 2.000 milhões) dos quais, com a participação atual, cerca de EUR 1.500 milhões seriam atribuídos ao Grupo Santander. Portanto, se a totalidade do capital nas mãos dos minoritários aderir à oferta, o Santander Brasil trará ao Grupo Santander EUR 500 milhões a mais neste ano, com um aumento de 1,3% do BPA, aumento esse que será de 1,1% em 2016. O impacto da operação no capital seria praticamente neutro, visto que, se todos os acionistas minoritários aderirem à oferta, isso traria três pontos base ao core capital.
A oferta está sujeita às condições usuais deste tipo de operação, incluindo a obtenção das autorizações regulatórias correspondentes e sua aprovação pela assembleia geral de acionistas do Banco Santander.
