Santander Issues $1.5 Billion in Convertible Bonds

Banco Santander announced it has completed the issuance of $1.5 billion in financial instruments that are contingently convertible into shares. The Spanish bank stated that these instruments will qualify as additional Tier 1 capital (AT1).

Issuance Details

The perpetual instruments may be converted into newly issued Santander shares if the bank's common equity Tier 1 ratio falls below a certain threshold. This move is part of the bank's strategy to strengthen its capital structure.
