History

The firm was formed in 2007 as Criteria CaixaCorp, a publicly-traded vehicle for La Caixa's shareholdings and investments in both industrial and financial services companies. At the time of its 2007 debut, the Criteria CaixaCorp initial public offering was the largest-ever in Spain.[3] The company was promoted to the IBEX 35 index in January 2008.[4]

A 2011 restructuring of the companies of the group saw Criteria renamed Caixabank as La Caixa's banking and insurance activities were merged into it.[5] At the same time most of the industrial stakes held by Criteria (including Grupo Port Aventura, Grupo Agbar, Gas Natural and Abertis) were transferred out of the firm to the new entity CaixaHolding, 100% owned by La Caixa.[6] Caixabank retained stakes in Repsol YPF and Telefónica as well as all of its holdings in other financial services companies.
