Information on Banco Santander Brasil
MATERIAL FACT
Banco Santander, S.A. informs that its subsidiary Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. has announced its intention to optimize its equity structure by replacing common equity (Core Tier I) in an amount of Brazilian Reais 6,000 million (amount which will be distributed pro rata among its shareholders) with newly-issued instruments of an equivalent amount qualifying as Additional Tier I and Tier II capital, and which will be offered to Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A.'s shareholders.
Banco Santander, S.A. intends to subscribe a percentage of the newly issued instruments in proportion to its shareholding in Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. (approx. 75%), as well as those not being subscribed by the remaining shareholders of Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A.
The new structure will improve Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A.'s regulatory capital composition, by increasing the return on equity (ROE) while maintaining the total amount of regulatory capital and capital ratios (BIS II ratio of approximately 21.5% and fully loaded BIS III ratio of approximately 18.9%) above the other retail banks in Brazil.
The transaction will require obtaining the applicable regulatory clearances and the approval of the shareholders' meeting of Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A.
A copy of the material fact made public by Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A., together with a translation thereof to both Spanish and English, are attached hereto.
