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 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 June 30, 2024, 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 office in Spain.

Holders of a lower number of shares may group together to reach at least that number of shares, appointing a representative. To do this, shareholders must request the corresponding group card, available at any BBVA branch office 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.

The Accreditation process via Remote Attendance Portal will be enabled on June 21, 2024, and will be closed at 9:00 a.m. 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 remotely complete the Accreditation process sufficiently in advance, with it being recommendable to do so no later than July 4, 2024.

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 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. on the scheduled day of the Meeting, as follows:

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 the remote assistants, on the day on which the Meeting is held, access the Remote Attendance Portal, and 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 “Extraordinary General Meeting/Remote Attendance” section.

All such documents filed with the SEC will be available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This document is not an offer of securities for sale into the United States or elsewhere. No offering of securities shall be made in the United States except pursuant to registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption therefrom.

Forward-Looking Statements

This communication includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws (including Section 27A of the Securities Act) with respect to the proposed transaction, including the anticipated timing of the transaction and statements regarding the consequences of the transaction. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “project,” “target,” “plan,” “expect,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations, beliefs, estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable as and when made by BBVA and its management, are inherently uncertain. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. For example, the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the transaction, including the timing, receipt and terms and conditions of any required governmental and regulatory approvals of the transaction (including the required authorization or no-opposition by the Spanish National Securities Market Commission, the European Central Bank and certain anti-trust and regulatory authorities), that could reduce anticipated benefits of the transaction or cause BBVA to not be able to complete the transaction, risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations, the risk that matters relating to the transaction could have adverse effects on the market price of the shares of BBVA, the risk that the transaction could have an adverse effect on the ability of BBVA or Banco Sabadell to retain customers and retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with their suppliers and customers and on their operating results and businesses generally, the risk that problems may arise in successfully integrating the businesses of the companies, which may result in the combined company not operating as effectively and efficiently as expected, the risk that the combined company may be unable to achieve synergies or that it takes longer than expected to achieve those synergies, and other factors. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond BBVA’s control, including those detailed in BBVA’s annual reports on Form 20-F and current reports on Form 6-K that are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. BBVA undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
