Banc Sabadell has disassociated the possible sale of its British subsidiary TSB from the hostile takeover process it is currently undergoing. "With absolute certainty, the decision regarding TSB will be made completely independently of the takeover bid [...]. The sale of TSB will only be made if it creates value for Sabadell shareholders," said the bank's CEO, César González-Bueno, this Wednesday during his participation in the summer course organized by the Menéndez Pelayo Period Association, which is sponsored by BBVA itself. Last year, González-Bueno did not attend these sessions because BBVA had been launching its takeover bid less than two months before, and Sabadell was very cautious in its public statements.
