The branching ratio and other observables for the rare flavor-changing neutral current decay B{sub d}{sup 0}{yields}K{sup *0}({yields}K{sup -}{pi}{sup +})e{sup +}e{sup -} are studied below the cc threshold. The total amplitude for this decay includes the term coming from the standard model effective Hamiltonian and the term generated by the processes B{sub d}{sup 0}{yields}K{sup *0}({yields}K{sup -}{pi}{sup +})V with intermediate low-lying vector resonances V={rho}(770), {omega}(782), {phi}(1020) decaying into the e{sup +}e{sup -} pair. The resonance contribution to the branching ratio, polarization fractions of the K{sup *} meson, and coefficients in the angular distribution is calculated. The influence of the resonances on the integrated observables in the region of electron-positron invariant mass up to 1 GeV is studied in view of the planned measurements of the photon polarization at the LHCb.
