prejudice to the additional sales restrictions set out in the terms and
conditions of the Issuance.

 

BBVA will request the listing of the Securities on the Global Exchange Market
of Euronext Dublin.

 

Furthermore, BBVA informs that, for the purposes set out in articles 414, 417
and 511 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the directors' report and the report
of the independent expert/auditor of accounts different from BBVA's auditor,
both related to the Issuance, have been issued. These reports will be
available to shareholders through their publication on BBVA's website
(www.bbva.com) on the Issuance closing date (expected to take place on 21 June
