Sabadell rejected BBVA bid over capital impact, costs savings, CEO says
MADRID (Reuters) -Spain's Sabadell rejected BBVA's takeover offer because the bidder underestimated the deal's negative effect on capital reserves and overestimated cost savings, Sabadell's CEO said in his first public comments on the proposal. The capital ratio impact would be "significantly higher than the 30 basis points" foreseen by BBVA, Cesar Gonzalez-Bueno told a banking event a week after BBVA launched a hostile 12.23 billion euro ($13.1 billion) all-share takeover offer.
