Erste Group Weighs Buying 49% of Santander’s Polish Unit Erste Group Bank AG (WBAG:EBS) is exploring buying a major stake in Banco Santander, S.A. (BME:SAN)’s Polish unit, seizing an opportunity to expand in one of Europe’s fastest-growing markets. Austria’s largest lender is in talks with the Spanish bank about acquiring 49% of Santander Bank Polska S.A. (WSE:SPL), Erste said in a statement April 28, 2025 that confirmed an earlier Bloomberg News report. The stake is valued at around €7.3 billion ($8 billion) based on the most recent stock price. It’s not clear if the talks will lead to an agreement, Erste said. A spokesperson for Santander didn’t respond to an earlier request for comment. Under the proposed terms, Erste would effectively gain control of the Polish lender as its largest single shareholder despite not having a majority holding, people familiar with the matter said. By buying less than 50%, Erste will avoid triggering a mandatory tender for the remaining shares in the bank. A deal between Vienna-based Erste and Spain’s biggest bank would be one of the largest banking transactions in Europe in recent years. Bloomberg reported in early April that Banco Santander was exploring a sale of its 62% stake in its Polish unit to refocus on other markets. The deal would deliver on Erste Group Chief Executive Officer Peter Bosek’s ambitions to expand into Poland, made after his return to Vienna last year from Luminor Group. Any transaction would require regulatory approval from the European Central Bank and the national banking authorities. That would likely be granted given that it is an deal within the European Union and wouldn’t create a dominant market position or any other distortions, some of the people said. Ankündigung • Apr 23

Santander Reportedly to Weigh Options for $8 Billion Polish Stake in Santander Bank Polska Banco Santander, S.A. (BME:SAN) is exploring options including a potential sale of its majority stake in its Polish unit as it focuses on expansion in the Americas, according to people familiar with the matter. Spain’s biggest bank is working with an adviser to review its 62% stake in Santander Bank Polska S.A. (WSE:SPL) and has reached out to gauge interest of potential investors, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. Santander’s stake in the unit is worth about $8 billion based on the most recent stock price. Deliberations are preliminary and Santander could decide to keep the asset for longer or opt for a partial sell-down of its stake, the people said. In September, the Spanish lender raised roughly PLN 2.46 billion ($627 million) in a sale of a 5.2% stake in the unit. A potential deal could also meet hurdles as the Polish unit could be too big in size for domestic banks to acquire, they added. A representative for Santander declined to comment. The review on the Polish unit comes as Santander Executive Chair Ana Botin is focusing on growth in the Americas while de-prioritizing the bank’s operations in Europe. The Spanish bank has been hiring in the US and rolling out a new digital bank in the country as well as in Mexico. Santander had said in September it’s seeking to redeploy capital to growth opportunities after the stake sale in the Polish unit. Ankündigung • Apr 05
