These rights must be exercised by duly certified notice to the Company, which must be received at the registered office, at Plaza de San Nicolás, 4, 48005, Bilbao, within five days following publication of this calling.

ATTENDANCE

Pursuant to the Company’s Bylaws, holders of 500 or more shares are entitled to attend the General Meeting when these shares are on record in the corresponding accounting register at least five days before the scheduled date of the General Meeting.

As the Annual General Meeting is likely to be held on second call, pursuant to Article 517 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, shareholders must have shares registered in their name no later than March 12, 2023, in order to be able to participate in and vote at the Meeting.

The Company will issue a personalized attendance card indicating the number of shares held to each shareholder entitled to attend who so requires it, giving them access to the venue where the General Meeting is to be held. Requests may be sent to the Shareholder Office, or made via the Company’s corporate website (www.bbva.com) or at any BBVA branch in Spain.

Holders of a lower number of shares may group together to reach or exceed the required number, and name a representative. To do this, shareholders must request the corresponding group card, available at any BBVA branch in Spain.

In order to confirm the identity of shareholders, or their valid proxies, on entering the venue where the General Meeting is to be held, attendees will be asked to present their attendance card, documents verifying their status as proxy, where applicable, and their Spanish national identity document or any other official document generally accepted for such purposes.

REMOTE ATTENDANCE

The Company has agreed that, in accordance with Article 21 of its Company’s Bylaws, attendance to the General Meeting may also take place via remote means.

Remote attendance will take place through the Remote Attendance Portal, accessible via the Company’s corporate website (www.bbva.com) and online banking website (www.bbva.es), in accordance with the timeframes and in the format described below. It is envisaged that the General Meeting will be broadcasted live on the Company’s corporate website (www.bbva.com).

In order to verify the identity of the attendees at the General Meeting, and to guarantee that shareholders can properly exercise their rights, shareholders—or their valid proxies—who wish to attend the General Meeting remotely (hereinafter, remote attendees) must register and confirm their identity—and that of their proxy, where applicable—on the Remote Attendance Portal prior to the start of the Meeting (hereinafter, the Accreditation process), as follows:

 

  a)

Remote attendees who are BBVA electronic banking users (who have a multichannel contract with the Bank) may confirm their identity on the bank’s online banking website (www.bbva.es) and entering the same credentials they use to log on to the website (www.bbva.es); and use the online banking features.

 

This English version is a translation of the original in Spanish for information purposes only. In case of discrepancy, the Spanish original will prevail.


  b)

Remote attendees who are not users of BBVA electronic banking may confirm their identity on the Bank’s corporate website (www.bbva.com), under section “2023 General Meeting/Remote Attendance”, making use of their Electronic National Identity Document (DNIe) or their digital certificate for natural persons issued by the Royal Mint of Spain (Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre-Real Casa de la Moneda — FNMT-RCM) or, in the case of a legal person, their current and valid electronic certificate of legal person proxy.

The Accreditation Process via Remote Attendance Portal will be enabled on March 3, 2023, and will be closed at 11:00 am on the day on which the General Meeting is held. However, to ensure the correct processing of the supporting documentation verifying their identity and legitimacy, it is recommended that all shareholders—or their proxies—who wish to attend using remote technologies complete the Accreditation process sufficiently in advance, with it being recommendable to do so no later than March 16, 2023.

In order for the General Meeting to take place in an orderly manner and for the proper management of the remote attendance, once the Accreditation process is completed in due time and form, remote attendees must access the Remote Attendance Portal between 9:00 am and 11:30 am on the scheduled day of the Meeting, as follows:

 

  a)

using the online banking website (www.bbva.es) for remote attendees who are BBVA electronic banking users, entering their online banking password;

 

  b)

via the Bank’s corporate website (www.bbva.com), under section ”2023 General Meeting/Remote Attendance” for remote attendees who are not BBVA electronic banking users, using the credentials generated in the Accreditation Process.

Only remote attendees who have completed the Accreditation process in due time and form and have accessed the Remote Attendance Portal between the indicated times may exercise their rights remotely on the day of the General Meeting.

Remote attendees who, in exercise of the shareholder rights provided for in the Corporate Enterprises Act, wish to request any information or clarification which they deem necessary in relation to items on the agenda, publicly available information that the Company has submitted to the National Securities Market Commission since the last General Meeting, or in connection with the auditor’s report; or who wish to submit written proposals under the terms of, and in accordance with, the Corporate Enterprises Act, may do so through the Remote Attendance Portal, on the scheduled day of the General Meeting from 9:00 am until the General Secretary finishes reading (complete or summarized) the proposed resolutions submitted to the General Meeting.

In accordance with the provisions of the Corporate Enterprises Act, valid requests for information or clarification submitted by remote attendees will be answered by the Meeting Panel during the meeting, or in writing within seven days of the General Meeting taking place.

Remote attendees’ right to vote shall be exercised through the Remote Attendance Portal and in accordance with the provisions of the Bank’s General Meeting Regulations. Remote attendees will be able to vote on the proposed resolutions on the agenda items from the moment they access the Remote Attendance Portal, on the day on which the Meeting is held, until the General Meeting Panel declares the Meeting to be over. The vote on proposed resolutions which, by legal mandate, do not need to be included on the Meeting’s agenda and must be put to a vote, shall take place once these proposals are read out by the General Meeting Panel.

For any matters not explicitly covered in this call notice, remote attendance at the General Meeting will be subject to the provisions set out in the General Meeting Regulations and to the rules set out on the Company’s corporate website (www.bbva.com), on the “2023 Annual General Meeting/Remote Attendance” section.

In any event, shareholders’ physical attendance will nullify any actions carried out remotely via the Remote Attendance Portal.

(the “Company” or “BBVA”) by up to a maximum amount of 10% of the share capital on the date of this resolution (this is, by up to a maximum nominal amount of EUR 295,475,711.64 (two hundred and ninety-five million, four hundred and seventy-five thousand, seven hundred and eleven euros and sixty-four euro cents), corresponding to 603,011,656 (six hundred and three million, eleven thousand, six hundred and fifty-six) shares with a nominal value of EUR 0.49 (forty-nine euro cents), subject to obtaining, where appropriate, the corresponding regulatory authorizations, through the redemption of own shares acquired derivatively by BBVA by virtue of the authorization granted by the BBVA General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 18 March 2022 under item six of the agenda, through any mechanism whose objective or purpose is redemption, all in compliance with the provisions of the legislation or regulations in force, as well as with any limitations that any competent authorities may establish. The implementation period of this resolution will end on the date of the next Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting, being rendered null and void from that date in respect of the amount not executed.

The final figure for the share capital reduction will be set by the Board of Directors, within the maximum amount referred to above, based on the final number of shares that are purchased and that the Board of Directors decides to redeem in line with the delegation of powers approved below.

The share capital reduction does not involve the repayment of shareholder contributions as the Company itself holds the shares to be redeemed, and the share capital reduction will be recorded as a charge to unrestricted reserves by provision of a restricted reserve for redeemed share capital in the amount equal to the nominal value of the shares redeemed, which may be disposed of only under the same requirements as those stipulated for the share capital reduction, as provided for in Article 335 c) of the Corporate Enterprises Act, by which the Company’s creditors will not be entitled to exercise their right of opposition set forth in Article 334 of the Corporate Enterprises Act.

To confer authority on the Board of Directors, in the broadest terms, authorizing it to subdelegate to the Executive Committee (which in turn, has subdelegation powers); to the Chairman of the Board of Directors; to the Chief Executive Officer; and to any other person to whom the Board explicitly grants powers to this effect, in order to totally or partially execute the aforementioned share capital reduction, on one or more occasions, within the established timeframe and in the manner it deems most appropriate, with the power to, in particular and without limitation:

 

(i)

Determine the number of shares to be redeemed in each execution, deciding whether or not to execute the resolution in whole or in part if no own shares are finally repurchased for the purpose of being redeemed or if, having been repurchased for that purpose, (a) they have not been purchased, on one or more occasions, in a sufficient number to reach 10% of the share capital limit on the date of this resolution; or (b) market conditions, Company circumstances or any event of social or economic importance make it advisable for reasons of

corporate interest or prevent its execution; notifying of this decision in any case to the next Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting.

 

(ii)

Declare closed each of the executions of the share capital reduction finally agreed, setting, as appropriate, the final number of shares to be redeemed in each execution and, therefore, the amount by which the Company’s share capital must be reduced in each execution, in accordance with the limits established in this resolution.

 

(iii)

Redraft the article of the Bylaws governing the share capital so that it reflects the new share capital figure and the number of outstanding shares after each approved share capital reduction.

 

(iv)

Request, as appropriate, the delisting of the shares to be redeemed by virtue of this delegation in official or unofficial, regulated or unregulated, organized or not, domestic or foreign secondary markets, taking such steps and actions as may be necessary or advisable for this purpose before the relevant public and/or private bodies, including any action, declaration or management before any competent authority in any jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, the United States of America for the delisting of the shares represented by ADSs (American Depositary Shares).

 

(v)

Execute all public and/or private documents, and to enter into as many acts, legal transactions, contracts, declarations and operations that may be necessary or advisable to carry out each execution of the approved share capital reduction.

(vii)

Set the terms and conditions of the reduction in any matters not provided in this resolution, as well as to carry out any procedures and formalities required to obtain the consents and authorizations required for the effectiveness of this resolution.

Two.- Nullify, for the unused part, the resolution adopted by the Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 18 March 2022, under item seven of the agenda.
