BBVA's Move on Sabadell Bid Acceptance Level Seems Like Technical Adjustment -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jan 10, 2025

0721 GMT - BBVA's reduction of the acceptance level of its $12 billion-plus hostile bid to take over Banco de Sabadell is mostly a technical adjustment at the request of Spanish regulators, RBC Capital Markets' Benjamin Toms and Pablo de la Torre Cuevas say in a research note. BBVA said its offer requires more than half of the effective voting rights of Sabadell, excluding treasury shares. Regulators saw a need to clarify what BBVA's acceptance threshold was and the Spanish bank's move effectively means the minimum acceptance is reduced by 0.7%, according to RBC. "We continue to be of the view that this deal gets done, probably by [the first half], and probably with some relatively minor remedies and a 10% increase in the offer price," the analysts say.
