BBVA's hostile takeover bid (OPA) to absorb Banco Sabadell has failed after 17 months, securing only about 25% acceptance of the capital, below the 30% minimum threshold set. This marks the second failure for BBVA president Carlos Torres, following an unsuccessful attempt in 2020. Rejection from shareholders, regulators, and the Spanish government has shaped the outcome of this banking battle.
