Said Securities are fixed rate securities (securitisation bonds) listed on the AIAF Fixed Rate Market which correspond to 33 different series issued by specific securitisation funds managed by Santander de Titulización, S.G.F.T., S.A. series to which the Invitation is directed which total outstanding principal amounts to six thousand million Euro. Banco Santander intends to accept offers up to a total maximum of (750) seven hundred and fifty million Euro. Such amount is indicative only and not binding on Banco Santander.
The holders of the Securities can refer, or request to its corresponding mediators or participating entities (in the case that said owners are not participating entities in Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A. Unipersonal (Iberclear)) they remit, the corresponding instructions of the tender offers (the Tender Offers) to the tender and information agent, Lucid Issuer Services Limited, as from April 16, 2012.
Tender Offers must specify the number of Securities of each offer, the outstanding principal amount of such Securities and the price at which such Securities are tendered in the relevant offer. The price shall be specified by each relevant securityholder as a percentage to the outstanding nominal amount of the relevant Securities tendered for purchase. Regarding the Senior Securities to which the Invitation is directed, an indicative minimum purchase price has been indicated for information purposes only and which is not binding on Banco Santander, therefore Banco Santander could accept or not Tender Offers made at this minimum price.
Tender Offers will be irrevocable unless Banco Santander modifies in terms less favourable to the holders, the terms and conditions. In any case, said irrevocable instructions of Tender Offers should be received by the tender and information agent on or before 5:00 pm (CET) on April 24, 2012.
The amount in cash that must be satisfied for each Security is equal to the sum of (i) the purchase price multiplied by the outstanding principal amount on the date of settlement of the Securities which purchase is accepted, plus (ii) interests incurred and not paid since the immediately preceding interest payment date (included) until the date of settlement of the Tender Offers (date excluded) in relation to such Securities.
