Parliament and of the Council, of 16 April 2014, on market abuse ("MAR") and

Purpose: To reduce BBVA's share capital by means of the redemption of the acquired
shares.
Maximum cash amount: The maximum cash amount will be 1,000 million Euros.

Start of the execution: Execution will start on 1 July 2022.
End of the execution: The Second Segment will end no later than 29 September 2022 and, in any event,
when the maximum cash amount is reached or the maximum number of shares is
acquired.
However, the Company reserves the right to temporarily suspend or to early
terminate the execution of the Second Segment in the event of any circumstance
that so advises or requires.
Trading venue: The acquisitions will be made on the Spanish Electronic Trading
Interconnection System - Continuous Market (the "Continuous Market").
Manager: The execution will be carried out externally through CITIGROUP GLOBAL MARKETS
EUROPE AG (the "Manager"), who will make its decisions concerning the timing
of the purchases of the BBVA shares independently of the Company.
Conditions of the Second Segment: The Second Segment will be executed pursuant to the following conditions:
(i) by purchasing in each trading session on the Continuous
Market (other than a Discontinued Day) 4,250,000 shares (the "Daily Target
Number of Shares"), except in cases of force majeure or if the Manager is
unable to purchase such number of shares due to limitations derived from the
provisions of article 3.2 of the Delegated Regulation.
For these purposes, a Discontinued Day is understood to be any trading session
of the Continuous Market in which there is a significant disruption in the
market or in the quotation of the BBVA shares (including if their trading
price falls below their nominal value during a substantial part of the
session) or if the trading volume for the BBVA share is less than 2.5 times
the Daily Target Number of Shares.
(ii) The own shares will be purchased respecting in all cases
the conditions and the price and volume limits set forth in the Regulations.
In particular, it is hereby stated that the Daily Target Number of Shares is
less than 25% of the average daily volume of the BBVA shares in the Spanish
Electronic Trading Interconnection System - Continuous Market in the month
preceding this communication (thus complying with the provisions of article
3.3.a) of the Delegated Regulation).
The share purchase transactions carried out, as well as the completion or, as
the case may be, the interruption of the execution of the Second Segment, will
be duly reported to the Spanish National Securities Market Commission in
accordance with the Regulations.
Madrid, 29 June 2022
