BBV INCREASES CAPITAL FOR BOND CONVERSION

(Bilbao, 30 July 97) In July 1996, BBV issued subordinated convertible bonds in
the amount of US$250 million. The bonds, with a 3.5% coupon and a 10-year
maturity, were eligible for conversion into BBV shares from the date of issue
at a 21% premium over the quoted share price on the date of issue.

Within the parameters established, bond holders exercised thier right of
conversion for approximately US$138 million during July, setting an exchange
price - which includes the proportional amortization premium of the bond - of
US$16.02 for each new share. As such, 8,893,008 shares are being issued -
equivalent to 1.32% of capital - resulting in an increase of more than 18,287
million pesetas in capital and paid-in surplus reserves. The additional increase
in shareholders' funds stems from the appreciation of the dollar-peseta exchange
rate.
