LIBERBANK SA
Liberbank, S.A. was a Spanish public limited company (sociedad anónima) incorporated on 19 July 2011 in Madrid, with Spanish tax identification number (NIF) A86201993 and registered with the Registro Mercantil de Madrid. The bank was formed through the integration of the banking businesses of Cajastur, Caja Cantabria, Caja de Extremadura and Caja Castilla-La Mancha under Spain’s savings-bank restructuring process, and it operated a retail and commercial banking network across Spain under the Liberbank brand. Liberbank’s ordinary shares traded on the Spanish stock exchanges (Bolsas y Mercados Españoles) until the company’s legal extinction in 2021.
Liberbank, S.A. no longer exists as an independent legal entity. On 31 March 2021, the shareholders of Liberbank and of Unicaja Banco, S.A. approved a merger by absorption in which Unicaja Banco was the absorbing company and Liberbank the absorbed company. After clearance from Spain’s National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) on 29 June 2021 and the required regulatory authorisations, the merger deed was executed on 26 July 2021 and registered with the Commercial Registry of Málaga on 30 July 2021. As a result, Liberbank, S.A. was dissolved without liquidation, and its entire business, assets and liabilities transferred to Unicaja Banco, S.A. by universal succession. The Bank of Spain removed Liberbank from the register of credit institutions in 2022. The combined group has continued to operate under the Unicaja Banco name from its registered office in Málaga, and the integration made it the fifth-largest banking group in Spain by assets.
Spanish commercial-registry sources continue to record Liberbank, S.A. (NIF A86201993) with an inactive, extinguished status, consistent with the completed 2021 merger. Any current business activity previously associated with Liberbank is now carried out by Unicaja Banco, S.A.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Liberbank, S.A.
Before its 2021 merger into Unicaja Banco, S.A., Liberbank, S.A. was a listed bank whose share capital combined a broad free float with holdings retained by legacy Spanish savings-bank foundations. In shareholding disclosures for financial year 2020, the largest disclosed holders were the banking foundations linked to the former Cajastur, Fundación Bancaria Caja de Extremadura (reported at approximately 4.72%) and Fundación Caja de Ahorros de Santander y Cantabria (reported at approximately 3.30%). These three foundations had coordinated part of their holdings through a shareholder syndication pact. On 13 April 2021, Liberbank notified Spain’s securities regulator, the CNMV, that this pact had been terminated ahead of the Unicaja merger. The remaining share capital was held as free float typical of a listed bank, spread across institutional and retail investors.
These figures reflect Liberbank’s last reported ownership structure before its legal extinction on 30 July 2021. They no longer describe a current shareholding: Liberbank, S.A. ceased to exist as a legal entity on that date, and its former shareholders received shares in Unicaja Banco, S.A. in exchange under the merger’s agreed share-exchange ratio.
Data availability
Historical. The shareholder information above reflects Liberbank, S.A.’s disclosed ownership structure prior to its 2021 dissolution. No current shareholding register exists for this entity because it was legally extinguished by merger.

Group Structure
Group structure of Liberbank, S.A.
Liberbank, S.A. is not an independent operating entity. Under a merger by absorption approved by the shareholders of both companies on 31 March 2021, Unicaja Banco, S.A. acted as the absorbing company and Liberbank, S.A. as the absorbed company. Following regulatory clearance, the merger deed was executed on 26 July 2021 and registered at the Commercial Registry of Málaga on 30 July 2021. Liberbank, S.A. was dissolved without liquidation, and its entire business, assets and liabilities passed to Unicaja Banco, S.A. (CIF A93139053, registered office Avenida de Andalucía 10-12, Málaga, Spain) by universal succession. Unicaja Banco, S.A. is accordingly the verified legal successor to Liberbank, S.A.; because Liberbank no longer exists as a separate legal person, this is a succession-by-merger relationship rather than an ongoing parent-subsidiary ownership link.
Before the merger, corporate-registry data associated a small number of Spanish entities with the Liberbank group, including Liberbank Contact, S.L. and Caja Castilla-La Mancha Finance, S.A. Their current status has not been independently reverified as part of this research and is not restated here as a verified relationship.
