Of minority shareholders who hold their shares through BBVA Spain, 98.2%
subscribed for shares in the capital increase

A favourable reception in a particularly complex stock-market environment

Shareholders and clients whose shares are deposited at BBVA Spain subscribed for
98.2% of the shares for which they were eligible to subscribe by exercising
rights pursuant to the capital increase announced on 2 November. Minority
shareholders with securities deposited at BBVA Spain account for 31% of the
total number of outstanding shares. The remainder are mostly held by
institutional investors, in addition to a smaller percentage who are minority
shareholders with shares deposited at other financial institutions.

The subscription period lasted 15 days (from 5 November until 19 November). The
subscription price was €6.75/share. Shareholders were granted one right per
share, and were able to subscribe for one new share for each five rights. On
Thursday, 25 November, the prorating for the awarding of the additional shares
will begin, and the new shares are expected to be listed on 1 December.

Entry into Turkey

BBVA also announced on November 2 that it had agreed to acquire a 24.9% interest
in Türkiye Garanti Bankası A.Ş., a Turkish bank. The proposed €4.2 billion
acquisition will give the Group access to Turkey, a large and growing emerging
market. The entry into the Turkish market will enhance the Group's
diversification, given its prominence in Latin America and Spain in addition to
its presence in China and the United States.

This announcement is not a prospectus but an advertisement and investors should
not subscribe for any new shares of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.
(“BBVA”) except on the basis of the information contained in the prospectus.

This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an
offer to subscribe for, the preemptive subscription rights or the new shares
being issued in connection with the share capital increase, in any jurisdiction
in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful or, as the case may be, until
the applicable requirements for those purposes have been met.

The distribution of this announcement and/or the transfer of pre-emptive
subscription rights and/or new shares into jurisdictions other than Spain and
the United Kingdom, may be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this
announcement comes should inform themselves about and observe any such
restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a
violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

This announcement is not an offer for sale of the securities in the United
States and the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration or an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of
1933, as amended. Any public offering of the securities in the United States
will be made by means of a prospectus containing detailed information regarding
BBVA and BBVA’s management including financial statements. Such prospectus will
be made available through BBVA’s Institutional Investor Relations office in New
York at +1 212-228-1660. BBVA intends to register the offering in the United
States.
