Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (“BBVA”), in compliance with the securities market legislation, and further to the inside information dated 26 September 2024 (with registration number 2396), hereby proceeds to notify the following:
OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION
BBVA has agreed to carry out an issue of preferred securities contingently convertible into newly issued ordinary shares of BBVA with exclusion of pre-emptive subscription rights for shareholders (the “Securities”) for a total nominal amount of 1,000,000,000 US Dollars (the “Issuance”).
Once fully paid-up, the Securities are expected to qualify as Additional Tier 1 Capital of BBVA and its Group pursuant to the applicable solvency regulations.
Distributions on the Securities, whose payment is discretionary and subject to certain conditions, will accrue at a rate of 7.75% per annum from and including 14 January 2025 to but excluding 14 January 2032. After that, the distribution rate will be reset in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Issuance by applying a margin of 324.9 basis points on the 5-year UST.
The Issuance is in no event directed towards retail investors, without 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 New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
Furthermore, BBVA informs that, for the purposes set forth in articles 414, 417, 510 and 511 of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), the director’s 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 14 January 2025) and will be reported to the first General Shareholders’ Meeting to be held after the Issuance.
Madrid, 7 January 2025
