Spain : BANCO POPULAR hires STJ to advise on a deal

Published 14 Nov 2012

Spanish bank BANCO Popular Espanol, is seeking to raise up to EUR 2.5bn (2bn pounds) in a make or break stock sale and has hired STJ Advisors, the London-based equity advisory group, as its adviser on the deal.

The Spanish bank has perhaps hired STJ to help it draw up a pool of lenders.

However, some say the move has caused friction as STJ is known to seek a lot of investor information the banks view as time-consuming to provide.

Banco Santander, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan are expected to run the sale. Talks have been entered into with over a dozen other banks too, including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Citigroup. and UBS.
