Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA), pursuant to the provisions of the
Spanish Securities Market Act, hereby proceeds by means of the present document
to notify the following:

RELEVANT INFORMATION

The Management Commission of the Banking Reestructuring Fund (known as “FROB” in
Spain) has accepted BBVA´s bid for the restructuring of Unnim Banc, S.A.
Sociedad Unipersonal (“UNNIM BANC”).

As a consequence, an agreement has been signed among the FROB, the Deposit
Guarantee Fund for Credit Entities (known as “FGD” in Spain) and BBVA, by virtue
of which BBVA will acquire a 100% of the shares of UNNIM BANC for the price of 1
Euro.

BBVA, the FDG, the FROB and UNNIM BANC have also signed a “Protocol of Financial
Measures” for the reestructuring of UNNIM BANC, which regulates the Asset
Protection Scheme through which the FGD will run with 80% of the losses
undergone by a predetermined asset portfolio of UNNIM BANC, calculated once the
existing provisions on those assets are applied, for a period of 10 years
following the transaction.

The closing of said two agreements is subject to obtaining the relevant
administrative authorizations and approvals, including the approval of the Bank
of Spain, the Finance Secretary of State, the European Commission and the
Competition Authorities.

Tomorrow at 8.00 (Madrid time) BBVA will present the transaction to investment
analysts.
Any interested party can follow the presentation via BBVA's web site on the
Internet (www.bbva.com).

A recording of the presentation will be available on the above web site, for a
period of at least one month.
