Transaction overview
Transaction perimeter |
▪ SBP sales to Santander Consumer Finance S.A. of Banco Santander Group a 60% block of shares in Santander Consumer Bank S.A. for a price of PLN 3,105M per block of shares (at a valuation of PLN 5,175M for 100% of the shares). |
|
▪ SBP's sale of its shares in SCB to SCF, is related to the larger transaction for the Santander Group to sell its shares in SBP to the Erste Group. |
|
▪ The agreed transaction price means that SBP will generate a profit of PLN 369M at the stand-alone level. For the stand-alone result, the purchase price and the income tax on the transaction are taken into account. The transaction on SBP's consolidated results will take into account net asset value of the SCB Group and other elements and exclusions and will be neutral for P&L at SBP Group level with reference point atthe end of 2024 – actual impact depends on transaction timing and SCB Group YTD 2025 results. |
|
▪ SBP obtained an independent opinion (the so-called "Fairness Opinion") on the fairness of the financial terms of the Transaction. |
Transaction impact on SBP Group |
▪ The sale of SCB shares will have a noticeable impact on the SBP Group's balance sheet. The balance sheet total will decrease by around 7% and the value of loans granted by ca 11%. Shareholders' equity will also decrease by around 6%. |
|
▪ It is worth noting that the impact of SCB's results on the SBP Group's results was negative in 2024, due to (relatively large to the scale of the business) burden of the cost of legal risk (PLN 849M) on SCB's results, which caused a net loss atthe SCB Group level. |
|
▪ As a result of the deconsolidation of SCB, some of the SBP Group's key ratios will improve e.g. C/I will decrease and the consolidated SBP TCR will increase. |
Required approvals |
▪ The transaction requires the approval of the PFSA in order to take place. |

SCB Group overview
- SBP acquired shares in Santander Consumer Bank in 2014, which was related to the PFSA's (KNF) request that the Santander operations in Poland are consolidated.
- SBP acquired a 60% stake in exchange for a new issue of SBP shares worth PLN 2,156 million, with payment to Santander Consumer Finance (SCF) in newly issued SBP shares with an appropriate market value.
- Currently SBP, holds 60% of the shares and votes and is the controlling entity of Santander Consumer Bank. The other 40% shareholder of SCB is SCF.
- At an operational and strategic level, SCB's activities are in many areas independent of those of SBP, so the sale of a controlling stake in SCB will not have a significant impact on the activities of either bank.

- Santander Bank Polska enters into transaction of sale of its shares in SCB to SCF at transaction price of PLN 3,105 M for a 60% stake in SCB (PLN 5,175M for 100% of the shares).
- The agreed transaction price means that SBP will generate a profit of PLN 369M at the stand-alone level. For the stand-alone result, the purchase price and the income tax on the transaction are taken into account.
- The amount of CIT is determined by the acquisition formula of SCB shares in 2014 in exchange for issued own shares. Only their nominal value is a tax deductible cost in this case, which implies the amount of CIT at PLN 580M.
- The transaction on SBP's consolidated results will take into account net asset value of the SCB Group and other elements and exclusions and will be neutral for P&L at SBP Group level with reference point at the end of 2024 – actual impact depends on transaction timing and SCB Group YTD 2025 results.
- The share purchase agreement (SPA) will not contain any additional assurances, indemnities, beyond those normally required and thus does not generate the risk of additional costs associated with it, in the future.
