Initial thoughts on Tulp Hypotheken Holding acquisition

CITI’S TAKE

BKT announced the acquisition of Dutch mortgage platform Tulp

Buy Hypotheken Holding for an undisclosed consideration. Financial impacts

Price (15 Jun 26 17:30) €14.59 have not been disclosed, but we expect the overall impact to be limited

(see below). We expect the market to have a weak initial reaction to this Target price €16.40

transaction, given the absence of synergies and limited details provided. Expected share price return 12.4%

Furthermore, we think the announced transaction does not address the Expected dividend yield 4.6%

key investor concerns, namely (1) improving its competitive positioning in Expected total return 17.0%

its three existing core markets and (2) addressing the group’s funding Market Cap €13,114M

position (given rising deposit rates in the Spanish digital deposit market).

US$15,217M

• BKT announced on Monday evening it had reached an agreement to acquire

100% of Tulp Hypotheken Holding, a Dutch platform specializing in mortgage

intermediation and financing, for an undisclosed amount. The closing of the Borja Ramirez SeguraAC

transaction is subject to relevant regulatory approvals, which we think could be +44-20-7508-0206

obtained in 2H26. borja.ramirez@citi.com

• There were no details on financial impacts, which we expect to be modest Anand Demble

overall: +44-20-7986-4056

o We estimate capital impact at c.–15bps (c.–€70mn). The bank’s CET1 ratio anand.gopal.demble@citi.com

was 13% in 1Q26, with a surplus of c.€160–250mn above the target level Andre Nemec

of 12.4–12.6% (pre-transaction).
