<li>BBVA has updated its hostile takeover offer to Banco Sabadell shareholders, proposing a cash payment of €0.29 and modifying the exchange ratio to 1 BBVA SM x 5.0196 SAB SM.</li>
<li>The adjustment aims to account for the dividends paid by both banks, as outlined in the initial announcement from May 2024. Current gross spread (ex-dividend) is -2.99%.</li>
<li>I believe this adjustment (merely optical) will be insufficient to convince Sabadell’s retail shareholders, many of whom are also clients and have an emotional attachment to the bank.</li>
