Shares in Spanish lender Banco de Sabadell SA rose Monday after its British retail-bank business caught the eye of a competitor.

西班牙银行Banco de Sabadell SA股价周一上涨，此前其英国零售银行业务吸引了竞争对手的目光。

Banco de Sabadell was approached by the U.K.'s Co-Operative Bank PLC this weekend over a potential 1 billion pounds ($1.37 billion) acquisition of its subsidiary TSB Banking Group, a company spokesman said Monday. Sabadell rejected the offer and the two companies aren't in talks, the spokesman said.

英国合作银行(Co-operative Bank PLC)发言人周一说，英国合作银行(Co-operative Bank PLC)上周末接洽了萨巴德尔银行(Banco De Sabadell)，希望以10亿英镑(合13.7亿美元)收购其子公司TSB Banking Group。这位发言人说，萨巴德尔银行拒绝了这一提议，两家公司没有进行谈判。

At 1324 GMT, shares in Sabadell traded 4.6% higher at EUR0.68.

格林威治时间1324时，Sabadell的股价上涨4.6%，至0.68欧元。

Confirming weekend reports, Co-Op Bank said earlier on Monday that it sent a letter to Sabadell over a potential acquisition of TSB. Sky News reported Sunday that the U.K. bank was willing to pay more than GBP1 billion for the business.

周一早些时候，Co-Op Bank证实了周末的报道，称已就可能收购TSB一事致函Sabadell。天空新闻(Sky News)周日报道称，这家英国银行愿意为这项业务支付超过110亿英镑的价格。

The approach for TSB vindicates Sabadell's decision to hold on to the U.K. business and restructure it in house, Citi analysts said in a note. Just last year, when Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA made an offer for Sabadell, it assigned an implied zero value to TSB, they noted.

花旗分析师在一份报告中说，对TSB的收购证明了Sabadell保留英国业务并在内部重组的决定是正确的。他们指出，就在去年，当毕尔巴鄂比兹卡亚银行(Banco Bilbao Vizcaya阿根廷SA)对Sabadell提出收购要约时，它为TSB指定了隐含的零值。
