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.

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.

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). 4 E-BRIEF www.santander.com /shareholders A Shareholder Source Communication AUGUST A Shareholder Source Communication | APRIL 2010 2009 GLOBAL MARKETS & TRENDS U.S. ECONOMY OVERVIEW GROUP NEWS & SANTANDER | SOVEREIGN NEWS SHAREHOLDER NEWS & OFFERS Santander | Sovereign News Moody’s Raises Sovereign Bank Rating Outlook to Stable Moody’s Investors Service has raised its rating on Sovereign Bank to stable, citing the bank’s return to profitability, improved capital ratios and signs of stabilization in its asset quality. deterioration in its commercial real estate, home-equity, indirect auto and Alternative A home mortgage loan portfolios.
