Rights Offering for Ordinary Shares
(BBVA LOGO)
Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.
 
We distributed to holders of our existing ordinary shares rights to subscribe for an aggregate of 749,593,824 of our ordinary shares, par value €0.49 per share (the “New Shares”). Each ordinary share held of record as of 11:59 p.m. (Madrid, Spain time) on November 4, 2010 entitled its holder to one right to subscribe for New Shares. Five rights were required to subscribe for one New Share at a subscription price of €6.75 per share (the “Subscription Price”). A holder of rights that exercised all of its rights was also able to subscribe at the Subscription Price for additional New Shares that were not subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of rights (the “Additional Shares”). We accepted subscription for whole ordinary shares only. The subscription period for the rights commenced on November 5, 2010 and expired at the close of business in Madrid, Spain on November 19, 2010 (the “Preemptive Subscription Period”).
Holders of American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, each representing one ordinary share, did not receive rights to subscribe for new ADSs. The rights with respect to ordinary shares represented by ADSs were issued to The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary (the “Depositary”). At the instruction of holders, a total of 9,832,813 ADSs were cancelled during the period from November 5, 2010 until November 9, 2010 and the shares and the rights underlying such ADSs were delivered upon the instruction of the cancelling holders. The Depositary has sold the remainder of the rights it received on behalf of ADS holders and will distribute the proceeds, after accounting for the Depositary’s fees and expenses, pro rata to the remaining holders of ADSs as of a record date determined by the Depositary.
Pursuant to an underwriting and distribution agreement that we entered into with the joint bookrunners listed in “Underwriting” in the prospectus supplement dated November 4, 2010 (the “Joint Bookrunners”), the Joint Bookrunners severally agreed to procure, during a period of two business days starting on November 26, 2010 (the “Discretionary Shares Allocation Period”), certain institutional investors to subscribe for any New Shares that were not subscribed for after expiration of the rights (the “Discretionary Shares”). The Joint Bookrunners also severally agreed to subscribe for in their own name and on their own behalf, at the Subscription Price, any Discretionary Shares that were not subscribed for at the end of the Discretionary Shares Allocation Period or, in the event that Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc and Goldman Sachs International following consultation with BBVA shall have determined not to commence the Discretionary Shares Allocation Period, all of the Discretionary Shares.
As set forth in the prospectus supplement dated November 4, 2010, Corporación General Financiera, S.A., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and Continental Bolsa SAB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Banco Continental (in which we have a 46.11% interest), waived the exercise and sale of rights in respect of certain ordinary shares respectively held by them. The Spanish National Securities Market Commission (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) has determined that ordinary shares corresponding to such rights may not be included as part of the offering. Accordingly, the number of shares included in the offering and to be issued pursuant to the capital increase has been reduced from 749,593,824 to 742,939,164 ordinary shares.
The results of the offering are set forth below:
  741,889,587 New Shares were subscribed for by the holders of rights during the Preemptive Subscription Period;
 
  2,372,843,668 Additional Shares were requested by the holders of rights during the Preemptive Subscription Period, of which 1,049,577 Additional Shares were allocated pro-rata and subscribed for on November 25, 2010; and
 
  Because all the New Shares were fully subscribed for during the Preemptive Subscription Period, the Discretionary Shares Allocation Period was not commenced.
