BBVA CEO Onur Genç emphasized on Thursday that the transaction with Banco Sabadell is focused on growth, bringing together the strengths of both institutions. “This is about preserving and expanding the excellent work Sabadell has done, and growing together in high-value segments, such as companies,” he explained. At an investor event organized by Bank of America, Genç underscored the attractiveness of the offer for Sabadell shareholders, not only due to the premium offered, but because of the value that will be created through synergies. As a result, they will be able to increase earnings per share compared to the standalone scenario. “BBVA is offering Sabadell shareholders the opportunity to become part of a stronger, more profitable, and more efficient bank,” he said.
