French bank BPCE has acquired a 7% stake in Spanish bank Sabadell in a friendly takeover. The Gallic bank, which did not plan to increase its ownership beyond 9.9%, built its position through market purchases and financial instruments. BPCE, now the largest shareholder of Sabadell after BlackRock, plans to join the board of directors of the Catalan entity, pending standard corporate governance procedures and with Sabadell's support.
The acquisition comes as BPCE and Sabadell explore joint business opportunities in corporate and investment banking, equipment leasing, consumer credit, and international business. The talks are expected to conclude in early 2027, with the goal of identifying areas where cooperation can support Sabadell's development in Spain while strengthening BPCE's European presence.
The deal aims to generate additional value jointly, with BPCE pledging to become a stable, strategic, and long-term shareholder of Sabadell. Both banks emphasized the amicable nature of the investment, with BPCE expressing its intention to be a steadfast, strategic, and long-term shareholder in Sabadell.
