The president of Bankinter, a Spanish bank, decided the time was appropriate to enlarge. He considered that growth could occur either organically or through acquisitions — as long as the goal business complemented present operations are ’sed by Bankinter and sustained organizational culture and the company’s values. If an acquisition offer was made, while establishing the price which should be paid his goal was to select one alternative.
The offer price would need to be warranted to present shareholders, who had only agreed if value was created by the acquisition for them. At exactly the same time, the success of the merger depended on the offer being accepted, so the price had to be appealing to the target company’s shareholders.
