BBVA increases the price of the takeover bid for its Turkish unit
BBVA's Board of Directors has agreed to increase the price offered for each share of the 50.15 percent of Garanti BBVA, from the initially announced (12.20 Turkish lira) to 15 Turkish lira.
The maximum amount to be paid by BBVA will be 31,595 million Turkish lira (equivalent to approximately €1,985 million¹), assuming that all Garanti BBVA minority shareholders decide to sell their shares. The period to decide if they accept the voluntary takeover bid has been extended two weeks, until May 18, 2022. The price will not be modified during this period.
The financial impact of the transaction will depend on the percentage of Garanti BBVA shareholders who decide to accept the offer and sell their shares. BBVA estimates a maximum impact of approximately -34 basis points on its fully-loaded CET 1 capital ratio², assuming that all shareholders agree to take the offer.
