amount corresponding to 50% of the Company's share capital on the date of the
authorisation, on one or several occasions, to the amount that the Board
resolves, by issuing new ordinary or privileged shares, with or without voting
rights, or shares of any other kind permitted by law, including redeemable
shares, with or without an issue premium; the countervalue of said shares
comprising cash considerations. The authority includes the establishment of the
terms and conditions of the capital increase, determination of the nominal value
of the shares to be issued, their characteristics and any privileges they may
confer, the attribution of the right of redemption and the conditions of
redemption, and the exercise of that right by the Company.

To attribute the power to the Board of Directors to exclude pre-emptive
subscription rights on the share issues made under this authority, pursuant to
article 506 of the Corporate Enterprises Act. This power will be limited to the
capital issues made under this resolution up to the maximum amount equivalent to
20% of the Company's share capital on the date of this authorisation.

Likewise, to attribute to the Board of Directors powers to freely offer the
shares not subscribed within the pre-emptive subscription period(s), when any
such period is granted; and to establish that, should the issue be
undersubscribed, the capital will be increased by the amount effectively
subscribed, pursuant to article 311 of the Corporate Enterprises Act; and to
redraft article 5 of the Company Bylaws.

All this will be done pursuant to applicable legal and Bylaw provisions at any
time, and is conditional on obtaining due permits.

2.	To request the competent Spanish and non-Spanish securities exchanges on
which the Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. shares are already listed at the
time of each capital increase to allow trading of the new shares, provided they
comply with applicable regulations. The Board of Directors is hereby authorised,
with express powers to delegate this authority, to grant any documents and
engage in any acts that may be necessary to such end, including any action,
statement or arrangement to achieve the listing of the shares represented by
ADS’s for trading, with the competent authorities of the United States of
America or any other competent authority.

It is expressly recognised that the Company is subject to any rules existing now
or in the future regarding negotiation, and especially trading, listing and
delisting of the securities, and the commitment that, should application be made
for delisting of the securities, this will adopted pursuant to the formal
requirements under applicable regulations and, in such case, the interest of
shareholders opposing or not voting in favour of this will be guaranteed, in
compliance with the requirements established under the Corporate Enterprises
Act, the Securities Exchange Act and other applicable regulations.

3.	To confer authority on the Board of Directors to delegate the authority
conferred by this General Meeting relating to the foregoing resolutions to the

RESOLUTIONS UNDER AGENDA ITEM FOUR

4.1	Share capital increase of an amount to be determined by issuing new shares
with a nominal value of €0.49 each, without an issue premium and of the same
class and series as those currently outstanding, to be charged against voluntary
reserves. Possibility of undersubscription. Commitment to purchase the rights of
free allocation. Request for listing. Conferral of powers.
1.	Free of charge share capital increase.- It is resolved to increase the share
capital of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. (“BBVA”, the “Company” or the
“Bank”) by an amount calculated by multiplying (a) the number of new shares to
be issued as determined by the formula below, by (b) €0.49 (the nominal value of
an ordinary BBVA share). The capital increase will be charged against voluntary
reserves and achieved by issuing new shares of the same class and series and
with the same rights as those currently outstanding, each with a nominal value
of €0.49, represented by book-entries, for free allocation to the Bank’s
shareholders.
The possibility of incomplete subscription is expressly envisaged as required by
article 311 of the Corporate Enterprises Act. If the issue is undersubscribed,
the share capital will be increased by the amount actually subscribed.

The number of new shares to be issued will be the outcome of the following
formula, rounding down to the next whole number:

NOS / NAR

Where:

NOS (number of old shares) is the total number of BBVA shares on the date of the
resolution to implement the increase; and
NAR (number of allocation rights) is the number of free allocation rights
necessary to be assigned one new share. This will be the outcome of the
following formula, rounding up to the next whole number:

NAR = RP x NOS / RMV

Where:
RP (reference price) is the reference trading price of BBVA’s shares for the
purpose of the present capital increase. This will be the arithmetic mean of the
average weighted price of BBVA shares on the Sistema de Interconexión Bursatil
Español (Continuous Market) over five (5) trading days prior to the date of the
resolution to implement the capital increase, rounded off to the nearest
one-thousandth of a euro, and in the event of a half of one-thousandth of a
euro, rounded up to the nearest one-thousandth. In no event can the RP be less
than the nominal value of the Company’s shares. Therefore, if the result of the
calculation is less than €0.49, the RP will be €0.49.
RMV is the maximum reference market value of the capital increase, which cannot
exceed €750,000,000.

2.	Reference balance sheet.- According to article 303 of the Corporate
Enterprises Act, the balance sheet to be used as the basis of the transaction is
that of 31st December 2011, duly audited by the Bank’s auditor and approved by
this General Meeting under its agenda item one.

3.	Reserves used.- The capital increase will be wholly charged against voluntary
reserves, which at 31st December 2011 stood at €5,853,645,756.80.

4.	Right of free allocation.- All the Bank’s shareholders will have the right to
free allocation of the new shares. Every share will confer one free allocation
right.

A certain number of free allocation rights (NDA) will be necessary to receive
one new share. In order to ensure that all free allocation rights can be
effectively exercised and the number of new shares will be a whole number, BBVA
or a Group subsidiary will waive the necessary number of its free allocation
rights for such purposes.

Holders of bonds convertible into BBVA shares will not have the right to free
allocation of the new shares, without prejudice to modifications that might be
made to the conversion ratio under the terms of each issue.

5.	Assignment and transferability of free allocation rights.- The free
allocation rights will be assigned to BBVA shareholders who are accredited as
such in the accounting records of Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de
Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores S.A.U. (IBERCLEAR) at the end of
the day of publication of the capital increase in the Official Gazette of the
Companies Registry (BORME).

The free allocation rights of the new shares will be transferrable and may be
traded on the market during the period determined, which will be a minimum of
fifteen calendar days as of the publication of the capital increase in the
Official Gazette of the Companies Registry (BORME).

At the end of the trading period for the free allocation rights, those new
shares that cannot be assigned will be registered and held in deposit on behalf
of whoever can claim ownership. After three years, any shares that are still
pending allocation can be sold in accordance with article 117 of the Corporate
Enterprises Act, acting on behalf and at the risk of the interested parties. The
net amount of such sale shall be held available to the parties concerned in the
manner established by the applicable legislation.

6.	Commitment to purchase the free allocation rights.- BBVA will undertake to
purchase the free allocation rights, in strict compliance with any applicable
legal limitations. The purchase price of each free allocation right will be the
outcome of the following formula (rounding off to the closest one-thousandth of
a euro and, in the event of a half of a thousandth of a euro, by rounding up to
the next whole thousandth):

RP / (NAR + 1)

The commitment to purchase free allocation rights at the purchase price
described above will remain in force for the period determined, that will be
within the trading period for such rights described in section 5 above.
For this purpose, it is resolved to authorise the Bank to acquire such free
allocation rights up to a maximum of the total rights issued, always complying
with any legal limits.

7.	Representation and rights of the new shares.- The new shares will be
represented by book entries, and the accounting records will be managed by
Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de
Valores, S.A. (IBERCLEAR) and its participating entities. The new shares will
confer on their holders the same rights as the rest of BBVA’s shares.

8.	Listing.- It is resolved to apply for listing of the new shares on the
Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia stock exchanges via the Sistema de
Interconexión Bursatil Español  (Continuous Market). Additionally, it is
resolved to take any actions or arrangements and to submit any appropriate
documents needed or required for the listing of the new shares issued as a
consequence of the capital increase on the foreign stock exchanges where BBVA’s
shares are traded at time of issue: currently London, Mexico and, via ADS's
(American Depository Shares), on the stock exchanges of New York and Lima under
the interchange agreement between both markets. BBVA expressly agrees to be
bound by present and future rules of these markets, especially regarding
contracts, listing and delisting for the official trading system.

For this purpose, authority is conferred on the Board of Directors and the
Executive Committee, with express powers of substitution in both cases so that,
once this resolution has been executed, they can make the corresponding
applications, draw up and submit any appropriate documents in the terms they
consider necessary and advisable, and take any measures that may be needed for
such purpose.

For legal purposes, it is hereby expressly stated that should a request be made
subsequently to delist BBVA’s shares, that request for delisting will comply
with all the formalities required by applicable legislation. It will also
guarantee the interests of shareholders who oppose this or who do not vote for
delisting, thereby satisfying the requirements of the Corporate Enterprises Act,
of the Securities Exchange Act and of other similar or supplementary
regulations.

9.	Execution of the resolution and conferral of authority.- It is resolved to
confer authority on the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 297.1.a) of the
Corporate Enterprises Act and article 30.c) of the Company Bylaws, empowering it
to delegate this authority on the Executive Committee with express powers to
delegate it in turn; on the Chairman of the Board of Directors; on the Chief
Operating Officer; or on any other Company director or proxy; to set the date on
which the resolution to increase capital will be carried out, within one (1)
year from its adoption, observing the provisions of this resolution; and to
amend article 5 of the Company Bylaws in order to reflect the new total amount
of share capital and the number of shares comprising it.

Pursuant to article 30.c) of the Company Bylaws, the Board of Directors may
refrain from executing the present capital increase in view of market
conditions, the circumstances of the Bank itself or a social or economic fact or
event that makes the action unadvisable. In such case it will report on this to
the first General Meeting held following the end of the period established for
execution.

Likewise, it is resolved to confer authority on the Board of Directors, also
pursuant to article 297.1.a) of the Corporate Enterprises Act and also
empowering it delegate the authority on the Executive Committee, with express
faculties to delegate it in turn; on the Chairman of the Board of Directors; on
the Chief Operating Officer; or on any other Company director or proxy; to
establish the conditions of the capital increase insofar as these are not
covered in the foregoing sections. In particular, this will include the

limitation or restriction:

the terms and within the limits defined in the present resolution.

(ii)	To determine the final amount of the capital increase, the number of new
shares, the market reference value (up to a maximum of €750,000,000), the number
of free allocation rights and the allocation ratio in accordance with the rules
established above.

(iii)	To determine the specific reserve accounts or sub accounts against which
the capital increase will be charged.

(iv)	To waive the number of free allocation rights needed to reconcile the
allocation ratio for the new shares; the free allocation rights that are

might be necessary or appropriate.

(v)	To establish the period for trading the free allocation rights at a minimum
of fifteen calendar days after publication of the capital increase in the
Official Gazette of the Companies Registry (BORME).

(vi)	To declare the capital increase executed and closed at the end of the above
period for trading the free allocation rights, declaring when relevant that
subscription was incomplete and signing whatever public and private documents
might be needed for the total or partial execution of the capital increase.

(vii)	To amend article 5 of the Bank’s Company Bylaws on share capital.

(viii)	To draw up, sign and submit the appropriate issue documents to the CNMV

information or documents required.

(ix)	To draw up, sign and submit the necessary or appropriate documents for the
issue and listing of the new shares to the CNMV (Spanish securities exchange
authority) or to any other competent Spanish or non-Spanish authority or

registration.

(x)	To carry out any action, declaration or negotiation with the CNMV (Spanish

of Treasury & Financial Policy, and with any other organisation, entity or
register, whether public or private, Spanish or non-Spanish, to obtain (if
necessary or advisable) the authorisation, verification and subsequent execution

(xi)	To draw up and publish any announcements that may be necessary or
advisable.

(xii)	To draw up, sign, accredit and, if necessary, to certify any type of

issue.

(xiv)	And to take whatever action might be necessary or appropriate to execute
and register the capital increase before whatever entities and organisations,
whether public or private, Spanish or non-Spanish, including clarifications,
supplements and amendment of defects or omissions that might impede or hinder
the full effectiveness of the present resolution.

4.2	Share capital increase of an amount to be determined by issuing new shares
with a nominal value of €0.49 each, without an issue premium and of the same
class and series as those currently outstanding, to be charged against voluntary
reserves. Possibility of undersubscription. Commitment to purchase the rights of

contracts, listing and delisting for the official trading system.

For this purpose, authority is conferred on the Board of Directors and the
Executive Committee, with express powers of substitution in both cases so that,
once this resolution has been executed, they can make the corresponding
applications, draw up and submit any appropriate documents in the terms they
consider necessary and advisable, and take any measures that may be needed for
such purpose.

For legal purposes, it is hereby expressly stated that should a request be made
subsequently to delist BBVA’s shares, that request for delisting will comply
with all the formalities required by applicable legislation. It will also
guarantee the interests of shareholders who oppose this or who do not vote for
delisting, thereby satisfying the requirements of the Corporate Enterprises Act,
of the Securities Exchange Act and of other similar or supplementary
regulations.

9.	Execution of the resolution and conferral of authority.- It is resolved to

Operating Officer; or on any other Company director or proxy; to set the date on
which the resolution to increase capital will be carried out, within one (1)

conditions, the circumstances of the Bank itself or a social or economic fact or
event that makes the action unadvisable. In such case it will report on this to
the first General Meeting held following the end of the period established for
execution.

Likewise, it is resolved to confer authority on the Board of Directors, also
pursuant to article 297.1.a) of the Corporate Enterprises Act and also
empowering it delegate the authority on the Executive Committee, with express
faculties to delegate it in turn; on the Chairman of the Board of Directors; on
the Chief Operating Officer; or on any other Company director or proxy; to

the terms and within the limits defined in the present resolution.

might be necessary or appropriate.

of fifteen calendar days after publication of the capital increase in the
Official Gazette of the Companies Registry (BORME).

(vi)	To declare the capital increase executed and closed at the end of the above
period for trading the free allocation rights, declaring when relevant that
subscription was incomplete and signing whatever public and private documents
might be needed for the total or partial execution of the capital increase.

(vii)	To amend article 5 of the Bank’s Company Bylaws on share capital.

(viii)	To draw up, sign and submit the appropriate issue documents to the CNMV
(Spanish securities exchange authority) or to any other competent Spanish or
non-Spanish authority and to file with any additional or supplementary
information or documents required.

(ix)	To draw up, sign and submit the necessary or appropriate documents for the
issue and listing of the new shares to the CNMV (Spanish securities exchange
authority) or to any other competent Spanish or non-Spanish authority or
organisation, assuming responsibility for their contents and to draw up, sign

issue.

(xiv)	And to take whatever action might be necessary or appropriate to execute
and register the capital increase before whatever entities and organisations,
whether public or private, Spanish or non-Spanish, including clarifications,
supplements and amendment of defects or omissions that might impede or hinder

PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS UNDER AGENDA ITEM FIVE

One.- Repealing the unavailed part of the authorisation conferred by the Annual
General Meeting, 14th March 2008, under agenda item six, to confer authority on
the Board of Directors to issue convertible securities and/or securities
exchangeable for Company shares, subject to applicable legal provisions and
after obtaining the necessary authorisations, pursuant to the following
conditions:

1.	The issue of securities convertible and/or exchangeable for Company shares
may be implemented on one or several occasions within the maximum period of five
(5) years as of the date on which this resolution is adopted.

2.	The maximum amount of securities convertible and/or exchangeable for Company
shares which will be resolved under this authorisation will be TWELVE BILLION
EUROS (€12,000,000,000) or its equivalent in any other currency.

3.	The authority to issue securities convertible and/or exchangeable for
securities for Company shares will be extended to the following aspects and will
also comprise the following powers:

i)	Establishment of the various aspects and conditions of each issue, including,
but not limited to: determining the amount of each issue or tranche within an
issue, always within the overall quantitative limit established; the place of
the issue (in or outside Spain) and the currency or exchange, plus its
equivalent value in euros when denominated in another currency; the type of
securities and their denomination, whether they are bonds, including
subordinated bonds, preferred securities, warrants or any other admissible by
law; the date(s) of issue; the number of securities and their nominal value; the
issue price; in the case of warrants and similar securities, the issue price
and/or premium, the strike price (which may be fixed or variable) and the
procedure, term and other conditions applicable to the exercise of the
subscription or purchase right over the underlying shares; the form and
conditions of the yield and the fixed or variable interest rate, the dates and
procedures for payment of the coupon; whether the issue is in perpetuity or
repayable, and if so, the repayment term and the maturity date; the
reimbursement ratio, premiums and bundling, guarantees; whether to represent the

the syndicate of security-holders, should it be necessary to constitute such a
syndicate.

ii)	The power to increase capital as much as necessary to meet applications for
conversion or subscription with the limits that may be applicable, in force and
available at any time, and redraft article 5 of the Company Bylaws.

iii)	The power to exclude the pre-emptive subscription rights of shareholders,
when this is necessary or when the Company's best interest may require such
exclusion. Whatever the case, pursuant to article 511 of the Corporate
Enterprises Act, should the Board resolve to exclude the pre-emptive
subscription rights over a specific issue that it may decide to implement under
this authorisation, at the same time as the issue is approved, it will issue a
report giving the grounds for proposing such exclusion, which will be subject of
a parallel report from the auditor of the accounts referred to in articles 417
and 511 of the Corporate Enterprises Act. These reports will be made available
to the shareholders and communicated to the first General Meeting held after the
increase resolution.

iv)	The power to determine the conversion and/or exchange ratio, which may be
fixed or variable, within the limits established below, as well as at the moment
of conversion and/or exchange; whether the conversion and/or exchange of the
securities is mandatory or voluntary, and whether at the option of the Company
or the securities holders or both, and in general, such limits and conditions as
may be necessary or advisable for the issue.

If the issue is made at a fixed conversion and/or exchange ratio, the
corresponding share conversion and/or exchange price may not be lower than
whichever is higher of (i) the arithmetic mean of the closing prices on the
continuous market over a period to be specified but not exceeding three months
and not less than fifteen days prior to the date on which the issue of
convertible and/or exchangeable securities is approved, and (ii) the closing
share price on the continuous market the day prior to the date on which the
issue of convertible and/or exchangeable securities is approved.

Should the issue be made with a variable conversion and/or exchange ratio, the
share price for the conversion and/or exchange must be the arithmetic mean of
the closing prices of the Company's shares on the Continuous Market during a
period not exceeding three months and not less than five days prior to the
conversion or exchange date, with a premium or, as applicable, a discount on
said price per share. The premium/discount may be different for every date of
conversion or exchange of each issue. However, if a discount is established on
said price per share, it may not exceed 30%.

Should the issue be convertible and exchangeable, it may be established that the
Company reserves the right at any time to choose between conversion into new
Company shares or exchanging for shares already outstanding. It may also resolve
to deliver a combination of new shares and shares outstanding, providing it
respects the equal treatment of all holders of the securities that are being
converted and/or exchanged on the same date.

For the purpose of conversion and/or exchange, the value of the share must never
drop below its nominal value and securities may not be converted into shares
when the nominal value of the securities is below that of the shares.

Likewise, the valuation for conversion and/or exchange of securities into shares
will be for their nominal value and may or may not include interest accrued but
unpaid at the time of their conversion and/or exchange.

Two.- To request listing for trading of the convertible and/or exchangeable
securities issued by the Bank under this authority, on official/unofficial,
regulated/deregulated, Spanish/non-Spanish secondary markets. The Board of
Directors is empowered to implement such procedures and actions as may be
necessary or advisable to obtain approval from the competent authorities for
listing on Spanish and other securities exchanges.

It is expressly recognised that the Company is subject to any rules existing now
or in the future regarding negotiation, and especially trading, list and
delisting of the securities. Should application be made subsequently for
delisting of the securities, the Company is committed to adopt the formal
requirements under applicable regulations and, in such case, uphold the
interests of shareholders opposing or not voting in favour, in compliance with
the requirements established under the Corporate Enterprises Act, the Securities
Exchange Act and other applicable regulations.

Three.- Likewise, to confer authority on the Board of Directors such that it may
in turn delegate such authority from the General Meeting with respect to the
preceding resolutions: to the Executive Committee, with express authority to in
turn delegate them; to the Chairman of the Board of Directors; to the Chief
Operating Officer; or to any other director or proxy of the Company.

Shares for the Management Team" or the "System"), established by the General
Meeting, 11th March 2011, under agenda item 7, and therefore the following:

1.1.	The Management Team Incentive for 2012 (hereinafter the "2012 Incentive")
will have the following characteristics

(a)	Indicators:

The indicators for the 2012 Incentive will be:

-	Performance of the Bank's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) from 1st January to
31st December 2012, benchmarked against the TSR performance of the following
peer group of international banks over the same period: BNP Paribas, Société

Crédit Agricole, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, The Royal Bank of Scotland,
UBS, Crédit Suisse, HSBC, Commerzbank, Citigroup, Bank of America, JP Morgan
Chase and Wells Fargo.

-	The Group Economic Profit without one-offs.

-	The Group Net Attributable Profit, calculated without one-offs.

To calculate the exact number of BBVA shares deliverable to each beneficiary,
the number of units initially allocated will be divided into three parts, each
linked to one indicator according to the weightings established for each. Each
of these will be multiplied by coefficients of between 0 and 2 as a function of
a scale defined each year.

For TSR, the applicable coefficient will always be zero when the Bank is ranked
below the median of its peer group.

The price of the shares deliverable under the 2012 Incentive will be the opening
price listed on the market on the day of delivery.

(b)	Beneficiaries: The 2012 Incentive is targeted at the members of the BBVA
Group Management Team who have such status on the date on which this resolution
is approved, including executive directors and members of the Management
Committee. For 2012, the initial estimate of the number of Incentive
beneficiaries is 2,100. However, some may leave and others join the Incentive
whilst it is in force.

(c)	Duration: The 2012 Incentive will remain in force from 1st January 2012 to
31st December 2012.

(d)	Settlement and payment of the 2012 Incentive: The 2012 Incentive will be
settled during the first quarter of 2013, without prejudice to  early settlement
that may be implemented under conditions established in ramification of this
resolution.

The beneficiaries may avail of the shares that may stem from the 2012 Incentive
settlement in the following manner: (i) 40% of the shares received will be
freely transferrable by the beneficiaries as of their delivery; (ii) 30% of the
shares received will become transferrable once a year has elapsed as of the 2012
Incentive settlement date; and (iii) the remaining 30% will become transferrable
once two years have elapsed as of the 2012 Incentive's settlement date. All this
will be done under the terms and conditions established by the Board of
Directors.

These rules on settlement and payment of the shares will not be applicable to
beneficiaries included in section 1.2. below, as special features have been
determined for these beneficiaries, mentioned in that section.

The Board of Directors will determine the date on which the 2012 Incentive
shares will be delivered.

1.2.	The 2012 Incentive Beneficiaries who engage in professional activities with
a material impact on the risk profile and control functions, including executive
directors and members of the BBVA Group Management Committee, will have a
special system of settlement and payment, pursuant to the following conditions:

•	If as a consequence of the settlement of the 2012 Incentive the shares
deliverable do not account for at least 50 per cent of their Annual Variable
Remuneration, the part of their variable remuneration in cash necessary to top
the aforementioned amount will be delivered in shares in such a way that they
receive at least 50 per cent of their Annual Variable Remuneration in shares and
the remaining amount in cash. To such effects, the value of the shares will be
deemed to be the average closing price of the BBA shares on the trading sessions
between 15th December 2012 and 15th January 2013, both inclusive.

•	The shares received in settlement of the Annual Variable Remuneration will be
subject to specific deferral criteria, such that 60 per cent will be delivered
during the first quarter of 2013, and the remaining 40 per cent deferred, so
that one third will be payable each year over a three year period, ie, in the
first quarter of 2014, 2015 and 2016. However, other grounds for early
settlement may be established in the ramification of this resolution.

•	This percentage of the deferred shares will increase up to 50 per cent  in the
case of the executive directors and members of the Management Committee.

•	The shares corresponding to variable remuneration will also be unavailable for
one year as of their delivery, under the terms established by the Board of
Directors.

•	The deferred shares will be subject to none of the grounds arising to limit or
prevent delivery, as established by the Board of Directors..
The Board of Directors will also determine the date on which the 2012 Incentive
shares will be delivered and also, where applicable, the specific criteria for
deferral and the schedule for availability.

1.3.	The maximum number of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. shares that may
be deliverable to the Management Team as a result of the System for 2012 is 18.5
million ordinary shares, representing 0.38% of the current share capital of
Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. Of this number, a maximum of 600,000
ordinary shares (representing 0.01% of the share capital) may be earmarked for
executive directors and 1.7 million ordinary shares (representing 0.03% of the
share capital) may be earmarked for the other members of the Management
Committee.

The Company may earmark the shares comprising its treasury stock to cover the
shares indicated in the previous paragraph or may use another suitable financial
system that the Company may determine.

required by law and with express powers to delegate the authority to the
Executive Committee, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Operating
Officer or any other Company director or proxy, to ramify, formalise, implement

to such early settlement.

Article 41. Quorum and adoption of resolutions.

	The Board of Directors will be validly constituted when the majority of its
members are present or represented.

	Resolutions will be adopted by an absolute majority of votes cast in person or
by proxy, except as provided under articles 45 and 49 of these Company Bylaws.


Pursuant to Royal Decree 1245/1995, 14th July, on the creation of banks,
cross-border activity and other matters relating to the legal regime of
financial institutions, the Bylaw amendments are conditional on obtaining the
authorisation from the government administration mentioned in article 8.1 of the
aforementioned Royal Decree, unless such authorisation is not necessary pursuant
to the stipulations in said regulation.


7.2. Approval of the amendment to article 53 of the Company Bylaws on the
Allocation of profit or losses and the inclusion of a new article 33 bis
regarding Directors' remuneration; and consequently, determination of the annual
allocation.

In order to amend the Bylaw provisions on remuneration of non-executive
directors in Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. ("BBVA" or the "Bank"), to
approve the following amendments to the Bank's Company Bylaws, which will be
applicable as of 2012, inclusive, expressly stating that this does not imply any
amendment to the rules for the remuneration of BBVA executive directors, which
will continue to be regulated by article 50 bis of the Company Bylaws.

1.- Amend article 53 of the BBVA Company Bylaws, which will thus be drafted as
follows:

Article 53. Allocation of profits or losses.
	The General Meeting will resolve on the allocation of profit or losses from the
year, in accordance with the balance sheet approved.

	Once the perquisites established by law or in these Company Bylaws have been
covered, dividends may be paid out to shareholders and charged to the year's
profit or to unrestricted reserves, in proportion to the capital they may have
paid up, provided the value of the total net assets is not, or as a result of
such distribution would not be, less than the share capital.



2.- Include a new article 33 bis in the BBVA Company Bylaws, worded as follows:

Article 33 bis. Remuneration.

	Directorships will be remunerated.

	The remuneration of directors for their directorship will comprise a fixed
annual allocation, which will be distributed by the Board of Directors in the
manner that the Board so determines, in view of the conditions, duties and
responsibilities of each director attributed by the Board and their membership
of the various Committees. This may give rise to different amounts of
remuneration for each director. The Board will also determine the timing and
form in which this allocation is paid, which may include insurance and pensions
schemes established at any time.

	The amount of the annual allocation for the Board of Directors will be the
amount that the General Meeting determines. This amount will remain in force
until the General Meeting resolves its amendment, although the Board of
Directors may reduce it in years when it deems fit.

	Additional to this allocation, the directors' remuneration may also comprise
the delivery of shares or share options or amounts benchmarked to the share
performance. The application of this remuneration modality will require a
General Meeting resolution, expressing, as forthcoming, the number of shares to
be delivered, the strike price on the share options, the value of the shares to
be benchmarked and how long this remuneration system will last.

	Directors performing executive duties in the Company will be excluded from the
remuneration system established in the foregoing paragraphs. Their remuneration
will be regulated by article 50 bis of these Company Bylaws with the amount and
conditions determined by the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to Royal Decree 1245/1995, 14th July, on the creation of banks,
cross-border transactions and other matters relating to the legal rulings for
financial institutions, the Bylaw amendments are conditional on obtaining
authorisation from the government administration as mentioned in article 8.1 of
said Royal Decree.

Likewise, the General Meeting in respect of the provisions of the new article 33
bis of the Company Bylaws, has resolved to establish the amount of the overall
annual allocation that the Bank may pay to all its directors as a whole for
their directorship at €6,000,000. This amount will remain in force until the
General Meeting resolves to amend it. The figure expressly excludes the
remuneration of the Bank's executive directors, which will be regulated by
article 50 bis of the Company Bylaws.

incorporation of Directive 2007/36/EC, 11th July, on the exercise of certain
rights of shareholders in listed companies, and to adapt it to the wording of
the Company Bylaws, whose amendment is also being proposed under agenda item
seven. The articles whose amendment is proposed will thus be drafted as follows:


ARTICLE 5.	PUBLICATION OF THE NOTICE OF MEETING

Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings must be called within the notice
period required by law. This will be done by means of an announcement published
by the Board of Directors or its proxy in the Official Gazette of the Companies
Registry (BORME) or one of the highest-readership daily newspapers in Spain,
within the notice period required by law, as well as being disseminated on the
CNMV (securities exchange authority) website and the Company website, except
when legal provisions establish other media for disseminating the notice.

The announcement will indicate the date, time and place of the Meeting and its
agenda, which will state all the matters that the Meeting will cover, and any
other references that may be required by law.

The announcement will also state the date on which the General Meeting will be
held at second summons. At least twenty-four hours must be allowed to elapse
between the Meetings held at first and second summons.

The General Meeting announcement will also state the date on which shareholders
must have registered their shares in their name in order to be able to take part
and vote at the General Meeting; the place and the form in which to obtain the
complete transcription of the proposed resolutions, the reports and other
documents required by law and by the Company Bylaws, as well as the address of
the Company website where the information will be available.

Once the announcement has been published and until the date on which the General
Meeting is held, the Company website will contain the documents relating to the
General Meeting, including the announcement giving notice of meeting, the total
number of shares and voting rights on the date of the notice of meeting, the
documents and reports that will be presented to the General Meeting, the
complete transcription of the proposed resolutions, the forms to be used for
proxy and remote voting, and any relevant information that shareholders may need
to issue their vote and any information required by applicable legislation.

It will also include necessary details regarding shareholder information
services, indicating telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, offices and opening
hours.

Moreover, where applicable, information will be provided on how to follow or
attend the General Meeting over remote media, when this has been established, in
accordance with the Company Bylaws. Information on anything else considered
useful or convenient for the shareholders for such purposes will also be
included.

Pursuant to applicable legislation, the Company will establish an Online
Shareholder Forum on its website on the occasion of each General Meeting,
providing duly secured access both for individual shareholders and any voluntary
associations of shareholders that may be set up, in order to facilitate their
communication in the run-up to the General Meeting. Shareholders may post
proposals on the Online Forum that they intend to present as supplements to the
agenda announced in the notice of meeting, requests to second such proposals,
initiatives to reach the threshold for minority rights established by law, and
offers or requests for voluntary proxy.


ARTICLE 5 BIS. SUPPLEMENT TO THE NOTICE OF MEETING AND NEW RESOLUTION PROPOSALS

Shareholders representing at least five per cent of the share capital may
request publication of a supplement to the notice of meeting for an Annual
General Meeting, including one or more items on the agenda, providing the new
items are accompanied by substantiation of their grounds or, where appropriate,
a duly substantiated proposed resolution. The right to do this may be enforced
by duly attested notification to the Bank’s registered office within five days
after the notice of meeting is published. The supplement to the notice of
meeting must be published at least fifteen days prior to the date on which the
General Meeting is scheduled.

Shareholders representing at least five per cent of the share capital may,
within the same period established in the previous section, present duly
substantiated proposals of resolutions on matters already included or that must
be included in the agenda of the General Meeting being convened. The Company
will ensure that these proposed resolutions and the documents that may be
attached to them are disseminated amongst the other shareholders.


ARTICLE 6.	SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHT TO INFORMATION PRIOR TO THE GENERAL MEETING

Until the seventh day before the date for which the General Meeting is
scheduled, shareholders may ask the Board for information or clarification, or
submit written questions regarding the matters on the agenda. Within the same
period, shareholders may send in written request for any clarification they deem
necessary regarding the publicly accessible information that the Company has
filed with the CNMV (securities exchange authority) since the last General
Meeting was held and regarding the auditor’s report. Once this period has
elapsed, shareholders are entitled to request information and clarification and
ask questions during the General Meeting in the form established by article 18
of these Regulations.

The information requested pursuant to this article will be provided to the
applicant in writing, within the period remaining before the date of the General
Meeting, through the Shareholders Help Desk, except in the following cases:

(i)	Should the request fail to comply with the deadline and scope determined by
law and in these Regulations.

(ii)	Should the Chairman deem that publishing the data requested by shareholders
representing less than 25% of the share capital could damage corporate
interests.

(iii) 	Should the applicant have proceeded in clear abuse of law.

(iv)	Should provisions of law or of the Bylaws or court or government rulings so
establish.

(v)	When prior to the formulation, the information requested is clear and
directly available to all shareholders on the Company website in the format of
Frequently Asked Questions.

The right to information may be exercised through the Company website, which
will disseminate the lines of communication open between the Company and its
shareholders and explain how shareholders may enforce their right to
information. It will indicate the postal and e-mail addresses at which
shareholders may contact the Company for such purposes.


ARTICLE 8.	REMOTE VOTING AND PROXIES

Pursuant to the Company Bylaws, shareholders may grant voting proxy or vote by
post, e-mail or any other remote communication media, provided the voter’s
identity is duly guaranteed.

Shareholders voting remotely will be counted as in attendance for the purposes
of constituting the quorum for the General Meeting.

Remote votes may be submitted using the form that the Company establishes for
remote voting, which may be incorporated into the attendance card.

Shareholders wishing to vote by post may apply to the Company, once the notice
of meeting has been published, through the Shareholder Helpdesk or any BBVA
branch office, requesting it to issue a document for postal voting in their
name. Once completed according to its instructions and within the deadlines it
establishes, it must be sent to the Shareholder Helpdesk by registered post with
receipt to be processed and counted. The information on postal voting will be
disseminated on the Company website.

Postal votes must be received by the Shareholder Helpdesk at least 24 hours
before the date on which the General Meeting is scheduled at first summons in
order to leave enough time for them to be processed. Postal votes received after
this deadline will not be counted.

Shareholders wishing to vote by e-mail will follow the procedures the Company
establishes pursuant to law and any regulations published for such purpose, with
the technical media available at any time. Shareholders will be provided with
information on this over the Company website.


ARTICLE 9.	PROXIES FOR THE GENERAL MEETING

Any shareholder entitled to attend may be represented by another person who need
not necessarily be a shareholder.

Proxies must be conferred specifically for each General Meeting, using the proxy
form established by the Company, which will be recorded on the attendance card.
A single shareholder may not be represented at the General Meeting by more than
one proxy.

Representation conferred to someone not eligible by law to act as proxy will be
null and void, as will proxies conferred by holders in trust or in apparent
agency.

Proxies must be conferred in writing or by remote communication media that
comply with the requirements of law regarding remote voting. They must be
specific for each General Meeting.

The representative with proxy may represent more than one shareholder. There is
no limit on the number of shareholders that can be represented. When a
representative has proxies from several shareholders, he/she may vote in
different ways according to the instructions given by each shareholder.

Proxies will always be revocable. Should the shareholder represented attend the
General Meeting in person, his/her proxy will be deemed null and void.
Revocation of proxy may be done in writing or over electronic media in
compliance with the formal requirements and system established for this purpose
by the Company.

The number of shares represented will be calculated for the valid constitution
of the General Meeting.

ARTICLE 10. 	PUBLIC CALL FOR PROXY

The public call for proxy must always be made pursuant to law.

The document recording the proxy must contain or be attached to: the agenda; the
request for voting instructions; and indication of which way the proxy will vote
in the event of no precise instructions being imparted.

When there is a public call for proxy, the representative may not vote with the
shares represented on those agenda items in which he/she has a conflict of
interest, unless the shareholder represented has imparted precise voting
instructions for each one of such items and without prejudice to the possibility
of appointing another representative for such an event.

There may be a conflict of interest on the grounds established in applicable
legislation. The director will always be deemed to have a conflict of interest
regarding the following resolutions:

-	His/her appointment, re-election or ratification as director.
-	His/her dismissal, termination or separation as director.
-	Shareholder demand that the Company take legal action against him/her.
-	Approval or ratification, where applicable, of Company transactions with the
director in question, companies said director may control or represent or
persons acting on his/her account.

When the directors file a public call for proxy, the voting rights corresponding
to the shares represented will be exercised by the Chairman of the General
Meeting, unless otherwise indicated in the document recording the proxy. Unless
shareholders granting proxy expressly indicate otherwise, they will be deemed to
impart precise instructions to vote in favour of the proposals filed by the
Board of Directors in each General Meeting.

The proxy may also include those items that, although not included on the agenda
in the notice of meeting, the law allows the General Meeting to deal with. It is
considered that unless the shareholder expressly indicates otherwise, they will
be deemed to impart precise instructions to vote against such proposals.

Public calls for proxy may also be made over electronic media in compliance with
the prevailing regulations at any time.


ARTICLE 18.	ORGANISATION OF GENERAL MEETINGS

The proposals of resolutions submitted by the Board of Directors will next be
read out loud, verbatim or in summary, unless the General Meeting itself deems
such reading unnecessary.

Should the General Meeting be held with the presence of a notary public, the
corresponding proposals of resolutions will be delivered to him/her by the
Secretary for their due recording in the minutes.

After any speeches that may be established by the Chairman of the General
Meeting, the floor will be given to the shareholders to ask questions, request
information and clarification regarding the matters on the agenda or verbally
request any clarification they deem necessary regarding the publicly accessible
information submitted by the Company to the CNMV (securities exchange authority)
since the last General Meeting and regarding the auditor’s report. They may also
file proposals that the law allows them to submit to the General Meeting even if
they do not appear on the agenda.

Shareholders wishing to speak will identify themselves with their full name and
the number of shares that they own or represent. If they wish a verbatim record
of what they say to be included in or attached to the General Meeting minutes,
they must deliver it, in writing and signed, to the Secretary of the General
Meeting or to the Notary Public, as applicable, prior to taking the floor.

The question and answer period will be opened in the manner established by the
Chairman of the General Meeting who, in consideration of the circumstances, may
determine the amount of time allotted to each speaker. The Chairman will try to
ensure that the same time is allotted to each. However, the General Meeting
Panel may:

i)	Extend the time initially allotted to each shareholder to speak, when the
nature of the shareholder's intervention leads them to deem this timely.

ii)	 Request speakers to clarify or expand on questions they have brought up
that they do not deem to have been sufficiently explained, in order to clearly
discern the content and subject matter of their proposals or statements.

iii)	Call speakers to order when they over-run time, or when the smooth running
of the General Meeting may be jeopardised. They may also withdraw their right to
speak.

Once the shareholders question time has ended, the matters raised will be
answered. The information or clarification requested will be given by the
Chairman or, where applicable and at the Chairman's behest, by the President &
COO, another Director or any other employee or third party expert on the matter.
Should it not be possible to satisfy the shareholders' right at the time, the
information will be facilitated in writing within seven days after the General
Meeting is adjourned.

The directors will be obliged to provide the information requested in the terms
described in the previous paragraphs, except in the cases established in article
6 of these Regulations.

This article notwithstanding, the Chairman, in performance of her/his duties,
may order the General Meeting to be run in the manner deemed most suitable,
amending the established protocol as demanded by any time or organisational
constraints that may arise.


ARTICLE 19.	VOTING THE RESOLUTION PROPOSALS

The proposed resolutions relating to the matters comprising the agenda will then
be voted, following the indications of the General Meeting Panel.

Should any other matter be brought up during the General Meeting that does not
legally have to be included on agenda and that must be voted, the voting will
proceed in the same manner.

If, pursuant to law and these Regulations, shareholders have filed alternative
proposals on the items included in the agenda, these will be put to vote after
the proposal filed by the Board of Directors. Once a proposed resolution has
been adopted, all the others relating to the same matter and incompatible with
the resolution adopted will automatically be invalidated without need to put
them to vote. The General Meeting Panel will report on this to the Meeting.

To facilitate the voting process, the Panel will ask any shareholders wishing
their abstention, negative vote or opposition to the resolutions to be recorded,
to declare this to the persons appointed by the Panel for such purpose,
indicating the procedures they must follow.

Should the minutes be taken by a notary public, the declarations mentioned above
will be made before that notary.

In principle and although other systems may be used to count votes, the
following procedure will be followed:

When voting on proposed resolutions relating to agenda items, the negative
subtraction method will be used. For such purposes, all the shares present
and/or represented will be deemed to vote in favour of the proposal and all the
votes corresponding to shares whose holders or proxies declare themselves to be
voting against it or abstaining will be subtracted from their number.

When voting proposed resolutions relating to matters not included on the agenda,
the positive subtraction method will be used. For such purposes, all the shares
present or represented will be deemed to vote against the proposal and all the
votes corresponding to shares whose holders or proxies declare themselves to be
voting for it or abstaining will be subtracted from their number.

Financial intermediaries whom the Company deems to be duly accredited as such,
who legitimately appear as shareholders but act on the account of various
clients, may issue their votes fractioned in accordance with their clients'
instructions and may vote in different ways according to the instructions given
by each client.


ARTICLE 23.	PUBLICIZING THE RESOLUTIONS

Resolutions that may be filed at the Companies Registry will be registered
there, and the applicable legal provisions on publicising corporate resolutions
will be met. However, on the same day as the General Meeting is held or the
working day immediately after, the Company will also submit the resolutions
adopted to the CNMV (securities exchange authority) by filing the relevant event
report. The transcription of the resolutions and the outcome of the ballots will
also be published on the Company website within the periods established by
applicable legislation.
