Abstract: MADRID (Standard&Poor's) Oct. 14, 2008--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services said today that its ratings and outlook on Spain-based Banco Santander S.A. (AA/Stable/A-1+) remain unchanged following the agreement reached for the bank's acquisition of 75.65% of U.S.-based Sovereign Bancorp (BBB/Stable/--) for approximately $1.9 billion. This acquisition will give Santander a good footprint in a few eastern states in the U.S. Its size and impact on capital will be relatively small for Santander. Santander already has a 24.35% stake in Sovereign, which it acquired in 2006. This limits execution risk as Santander already has good knowledge of the U.S. bank.
