QUANTUMONLINE.COM SECURITY DESCRIPTION:  Santander Finance Preferred S.A. Unipersonal, 6.50% Non-cumulative Series 5 Guaranteed Preferred Securities, liquidation preference $25 per share, redeemable at the issuer's option on or after 1/31/2017 at $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends, and with no stated maturity. Distributions of 6.50% ($1.625) per annum are paid quarterly on 1/31, 4/30, 7/31 & 10/31 to holders of record on the record date which will be the 15th calendar day prior to the payment date (NOTE: the ex-dividend date is at least 2 business days prior to the record date). The dividends are non-cumulative and if the board of directors does not declare a dividend or the company fails to pay a dividend declared by the board for any quarterly dividend period, the holder will not be entitled to receive any dividend for that quarterly period and the undeclared or unpaid dividend will not accumulate. Dividends paid by these preferred shares are eligible for the preferential income tax rate of 15% to a maximum of 20% depending on the holder's tax bracket (and under IRS specified holding restrictions) but, since they are issued by a foreign company, are NOT eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate holders (see page 59 of the prospectus for further information). In regard to the payment of dividends and upon liquidation, the preferred shares rank junior to all liabilities including subordinated liabilities, equally with other preferreds and senior to the common shares of the company.
