NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO OR TO ANY PERSON LOCATED OR RESIDENT IN A JURISDICTION WHERE IT IS UNLAWFUL TO RELEASE, PUBLISH OR DISTRIBUTE THIS DOCUMENT

Notice to U.S. Investors

The proposed transaction relates to the securities of Banco Santander, S.A., a company incorporated in Spain. Information distributed in connection with the proposed transaction is subject to Spanish disclosure requirements that are different from those of the United States.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the U.S. federal securities laws in respect of the proposed transaction, since the company is located in Spain and some or all of its officers and directors are residents of Spain. You may not be able to sue the company or its officers or directors in a Spanish court for violations of the U.S. securities laws. Finally, it may be difficult to compel the company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

You should be aware that the company may purchase subject securities otherwise than under the proposed transaction, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases, at any time during the pendency of the proposed transaction.
