0938 GMT - The introduction of a cash component in BBVA's takeover offer for Sabadell has an additional negative impact for its CET1 ratio, which measures its capital against its risk-weighed assets, CaixaBank says in a research note after the Spanish lender adjusted the terms to include dividend payments. The adjustment was foreseen in the preliminary offer announcement but does imply that BBVA's CET1 ratio will have an extra 7bps negative impact on top of the 30bps negative impact initially mentioned, analyst Carlos Peixoto writes. "As consequence, it also erodes the bid's return on invested capital from the 20% announced by the bank to circa 16%, according to our maths," he notes. Yet, it also improves the bid's EPS accretion by around 0.5 percentage points against the 3.5% announced by BBVA, he adds. (elena.vardon@wsj.com)
