MADRID--Banco Santander SA (SAN, SAN.MC) has no plans to make any acquisitions with the proceeds from its EUR7.5 billion ($8.88 billion) capital increase, Chairman Ana Botin said on Thursday.

"We're exclusively focusing on organic growth. We might look at small items in our main core markets, but this is not for acquisitions," Ms. Botin said during a conference call with investors.

Ms. Botin said Spain's largest lender will use the cash raised from the share sale to support growth in its main markets, which include the U.K, Brazil, Mexico, the U.S. and its home market.

"We see a structural growth opportunity, due partly to the change in cycle and also partly to the opportunities we have in our core markets," she said.

Santander, which hired Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and UBS AG to to oversee the capital increase, expects to complete the capital increase by early Friday. The bank is selling more than a billion new shares to institutional investors.
