The European Banking Authority (EBA) received a notification regarding the resolution action taken by the Single Resolution Board (the SRB) in respect of Banco Popular Español as the conditions for resolution were met. The SRB adopted a resolution scheme providing for the application of the sale of business tool. Following a marketing process, the SRB decided to transfer Banco Popular to Banco Santander S.A. and to exercise the power of write-down and conversion of capital instruments prior to the transfer in order to address the shortfall in the value of the Institution.
