Scrip Program. Choose how you want to receive
your dividend.
Santander will once again offer its ADR Shareholders the chance to
receive the remuneration equivalent to the upcoming November
dividend in cash or newly issued Santander ADRs.
In 2009, Santander for the first time offered its ADR holders the possibility
to decide how they preferred to receive the remuneration equivalent to the
quarterly, November dividend. Based on the popularity of the new structure the
board of directors proposed at Santander’s 2010 Annual Shareholders Meeting
to continue to offer the Scrip Program and to once again give Shareholders
the opportunity to choose how they would like to receive the remuneration
equivalent to their upcoming November dividend: cash, newly issued ADRs or
sell their rights in the market.

U.S. Economy Overview
Economic Update
August brought more ammunition to those who feared
the US economy would slip back into recession. Claims for
unemployment benefits rose more than expected, housing
data painted an ongoing grim picture of the residential
market, as single-family home construction fell to the lowest
level in more than a year. The larger existing home market
fared even worse, as the end of the government tax credit
dragged sales to the slowest pace in nearly a decade.
Countering the bad news was the Federal Reserve’s release
of its latest survey of senior bank lending officers. For the
first time since late 2006, the Fed reported that banks were
easing lending standards for small businesses. In addition to
the encouraging bank lending survey, industrial companies
continue to ramp up activity. Over the past three months,
output at factories, mines and utilities has increased by a
hefty 8.4% annual rate. Shipping by truck, rail and boat
continues to grow, reflecting healthy global demand.
We think it is too soon to throw in the towel on the stumbling
recovery and are not in the camp that fears a “double-dip”
recession. Additional bright spots include rising commodity
prices, global trade numbers, temporary employment, auto
sales, and an accommodative Federal Reserve, all of which
lead us to believe that despite the gloomy economic forecasts
out there, the US economy should grow between 3% to 4%
over the next 4 quarters.

An Outstanding and Consistent Performance Throughout the Crisis
The digital publication Invertia.es recently published an article
which provided a complete review of the trajectory and
results of Banco Santander in the last three years, as well as
a comparison with its direct competitors on the market. The
following are the main aspects highlighted in the article:
According to recent figures published by Bloomberg,
Santander’s returns, in terms of its stock market performance
and dividends, stand at -0.11% over the last three years,
which represent “almost positive total returns (-0.11%)”. The
key to this result is, according to the article, that Santander
is “a conservative bank that does not invest in sophisticated
products, which has enabled it to notch up constant profits
and expand its presence in key markets”.
With the exception of the last quarter in 2008, Santander
has accumulated 12 consecutive quarters with net profits
in excess of EUR 2 billion. “Recurrence in the generation of
earnings makes it one of the winners of this crisis, and one of
the few banks that has maintained a payout of 50%”.
Over these last few years, Santander has also made acquisitions
in key markets such as Brazil (Banco Real); the UK (Alliance &
Leicester, Bradford & Bingley, and the Royal Bank of Scotland’s
high street network); and the USA (Sovereign).
