-- BBVA might not achieve planned cost reductions if it buys Banco Sabadell SA but fails to integrate it, according to a regulatory filing this week.In such a scenario, the Spanish lender “may not be able to realize some or all of these synergies, or such synergies may be realized at later dates” than initially forecast, it said in a document submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
A takeover of Sabadell would result in €850 million in cost savings, with €300 million coming from reductions in staff expenses, BBVA has said. That figure implies 3,700 job cuts, Berenberg has estimated. The takeover would probably generate an estimated €2.13 billion in accounting profit known as badwill, BBVA said.Bryan Adams launches own record label
