The sale of shares generates a gain (profit) or loss on capital, which is determined by the difference between the sale value (after deducting any possible fees on the sale) and the purchase price (increased by any possible fees on the sale) of the shares in question. From 1 January 2016, regardless of the period in which they were generated, capital gains are included in the savings tax base and are taxed according to the following scale:

• Savings tax base up to 6,000 euros –> 19%
• 6,000 euros to 50,000 euros –> 21%
• 50,000 euros and over –> 23%

Dividends are considered as income from capital and are included in the savings tax base, according to the following scale:

•   Savings tax base up to 6,000 euros –> 19%
• 6,000 euros to 50,000 euros –> 21%
• 50,000 euros and over –>23%

On receiving the dividends, 19% tax withholding is applied; subsequently, dividends must be included in the shareholder’s income tax return for the year they are received.

Deductible costs include administration costs and deposit of shares, but do not include discretionary and individualized management costs.

Sale of rights:
The transfer of preferential subscription rights will be treated for tax purposes as capital gains in the period when the transfer is made, and will be subject to 19% tax withholding1.
1.Until December 31, 2016, the rights transfer amount will reduce the purchase price of the shares that originate them (old shares). However, if this amount is greater than the purchase price of these shares (old shares), the difference will be considered a capital gain for the tax period in which the rights transfer takes place, without tax withholding.

Option to sell the rights to BBVA:
This option is equivalent to receiving a cash dividend and is subject to tax withholding upon receipt. It must be included in the savings tax base of the tax return corresponding to the year in which it is received.

Sale of rights on the stock market:

This option is not subject to tax withholding at the time the rights are sold. The tax regime applied is as follows: the rights transfer amount will reduce the purchase price of the shares that originate them (old shares). However, if this amount is greater than the purchase price of these shares (old shares), the difference will be considered a capital gain for the tax period in which the rights transfer takes place.

Subscription opion on new shares
This option is not subject to tax withholding at the time of award of the new shares.
The tax treatment applicable to future transfers for residents is as follows: the purchase price of the assigned shares (new shares) and the shares from which the rights derive (old shares) will be the result of dividing the total cost of the old shares (the new shares are completely released) by the number of shares, including the old ones and the scrip issue shares, as applicable.
The age of the completely released shares (new shares) will be the same as the shares from which the rights arise (old shares).

BBVA shares deposited with BBVA are exempt from administration and custodial fees, and are also eligible for the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

As well as exemption from administration and custodial fees, individuals can benefit from a number of financial benefits:

• No administration and maintenance fees for the current account associated with the share contract where the 4,000 or more shares are deposited.
• No issuing and receiving fees for transfers in euros to Spain and EU Member States plus Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland made in euros, Swedish crowns or Romanian Leu (RON), made with charge/credit in the current account associated with the share contract.
• Free credit or debit card. For Ahora, Después or Àbaco cards paid through the account associated with the share contract. Maximum one per account holder.
• No fees for issuing euro-denominated checks from the account associated with the share contract and for compensation and negotiation for deposits of euro-denominated checks in Spain in the account associated with the share contract.

BBVA gives you the opportunity to increase your portfolio of BBVA shares under advantageous conditions via the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, the Savings Plan and the Àbaco card.

These products are linked to a Dividend Reinvestment Account, which receives 8% nominal annual interest (8.16%). It is used only for purchasing BBVA shares at no cost, being free of all banking fees, broker fees and stock market fees. The purchase is carried out quarterly or half-yearly, depending on the option you prefer.

The Dividend Reinvestment Plan allows you to automatically reinvest dividends received from your BBVA shares and some other shares in your portfolio, such as Telefónica, Endesa, Santander and Repsol-YPF, when they are deposited with BBVA.

The main advantage is that it makes the best use of your dividends, which benefit from the special conditions available to Dividend Reinvestment Accounts, with a nominal 8% interest per year, while share purchases are exempted from bank fees, broker fees and stock market fees.

The only prerequisite for this product is that your shares are deposited with BBVA. To apply for the product, contact the branch where you hold your deposit contract.

The Savings Plan lets you make regular monthly contributions of between 50 and 500 euros to the Special Reinvestment Account, used to purchase BBVA shares.

Investments in shares via this product benefit from the annual 8% nominal interest accrued by the Dividend Reinvestment Account. In addition, the share purchases are subject to no bank fees, broker fees or stock market fees.

To contract this product you must hold a current account at our Bank. If you meet this requirement you may apply for the Savings Plan at any BBVA branch. If you still do not have a Dividend Reinvestment Account, you can open one at the same time.

The Àbaco Card is a Visa credit card that allows you to increase your shareholding while paying for goods and services.

It works like this: every time you make a payment with the card, the sum is rounded up to the nearest multiple of five. The amount added is paid to your Dividend Reinvestment Account. The balance plus interest (annual nominal 8%) is used to buy BBVA shares free of any bank, broker or stock exchange fees.

The card has other benefits too:

• Bonus payment of 4.5% for purchases made with the card from the BBVA Services store.
• Legal and tax advice all year round.
• Defense for traffic fines and recovery of points lost on driver´s driving license.
• Travel accident insurance.

You must have 1,000 or more BBVA shares deposited with our Bank to be eligible for the card. You may apply at any BBVA branch. If you do not already have a Dividend Reinvestment Account you can open one at the same time.

Reinvestment account holders can issue an order to change the percentage of securities used for reinvestment, or the amount to be transferred monthly to the Savings Plan, provided that the order is made 10 days before the reinvestment date. A cancellation order must also be submitted 10 days prior to the reinvestment date. The balance of the reinvestment account will then be deposited in the current account, but without interest. Although the contract is indefinite, the Bank may terminate the contract if the holders give 15 days notice.

Ábaco magazine is only published online and can be found here (only  in Spanish).

All BBVA shareholders are members of the Àbaco Club, regardless of the number of shares they hold. To take advantage of all the benefits of the club contact our Shareholder Helpline +34 912 24 98 21 or use the contact phone numbers provided with each offer. Find out what offers are available in the Àbaco magazine or via our website .

To take part in the competitions follow the instructions provided with each. You must first send your submission by e-mail or ordinary mail to the PO box indicated.

All competitions are held before a notary and the winners are published on the website and Àbaco magazine. You can also ask the Shareholder Office to find out who the winners are and the competition rules.

The Company’s General Meetings may be attended by anyone owning 500 or more shares, provided that their holding is registered in the corresponding accounting records five days before the General Meeting is scheduled and that they conserve at least this same number of shares until the time when the General Meeting is held.

Holders of fewer shares may group together until achieving the required number, appointing a representative.

BBVA will issue an attendance card for access to the place where the General Meeting is being held. The Bank will provide this card to each shareholder entitled to attend the General Meeting who so requests. The card will indicate the number of shares held by its bearer. Requests for this card may be sent to the Shareholder Helpdesk, sent over the website or presented at any BBVA branch office.

Nonetheless, if holders of fewer shares than 500 wish to attend, they may apply for an invitation to the General Meeting through the Shareholder Helpdesk, the website or any BBVA branch office. They may be given an invitation after giving due consideration to inevitable space constraints in the facilities where General Meetings can be held and the very high number of shareholders in the Company.

In order to accredit the identity of shareholders and their valid proxies, persons presenting their attendance card on entering the building where the General Meeting is to be held may be asked to prove their identity by presenting their national identity document or any other official document generally accepted for such purposes.

Legal entities will act through their legal proxies, who must give due accreditation.

Each share present or represented in the General Meeting confers one voting right.

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, except under the circumstances provided in the Act for brokering institutions.

Representation conferred to someone not eligible bylaw 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.

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.

American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, are securities issued by a U.S. commercial bank that represent an established number of shares of a foreign-based company’s equity. ADSs are quoted in U.S. dollars and trade, settle and clear in the same manner as other U.S. securities. Moreover, you can buy and sell ADSs through full-service brokers or through discount or online brokers.

Although the BBVA ADSs are similar to the underlying ordinary shares and carry substantially the same rights, they are not identical. For a full explanation of BBVA ADSs, please visit www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml and read the section entitled “Description of BBVA American Depositary Shares” in BBVA’s Form F-4 filed on June 29, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

BBVA ADSs are quoted in U.S. dollars on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BBVA”.

Holders of BBVA ADSs as of the record date for a particular stockholder vote will be entitled to vote on proposals by instructing BNY to vote their shares on their behalf. Corporate action notifications and stockholder meeting materials will be delivered to holders of BBVA ADSs in English.

ADSs can be held directly through BNY Mellon’s transfer agent Computershare in physical (certificated) or book-entry (electronic) form via a method call Direct Registration System (“DRS”). With the DRS, shareholders are sent a DRS Transaction Statement evidencing their ownership of BBVA ADSs.

ADSs can also be held via a broker/advisor. In this case, it is likely that the shares are held in book-entry form only and trades are settled via The Depositary Trust Company (DTC).

The Direct Registration System (DRS) is a non-certificate, statement-based method of holding shares registered directly with BNY Mellon’s transfer agent, Computershare. Benefits of holding shares in DRS form include:

ADS dividends and other cash distributions are paid in U.S. dollars at market foreign exchange rates. The depositary bank makes payments as efficiently as other cash distributions for listed U.S. securities. ADS investors receive dividend payments through their existing brokerage arrangements or, for Registered Holders, by check issued directly from the depositary bank.

For information on the historical dividends paid to ADS holders investors should visit BNY Mellon’s website at https://www.adrbnymellon.com and type the ticker symbol “BBVA” under the DR Directory Guide.

Under Spanish law, dividends paid by a Spanish company to a non-Spanish resident holder are subject to a Spanish Non-Resident Withholding Tax (NRIT) of 18%. However, under the current tax treaty between the U.S. and Spain, certain U.S. residents are subject to a 15% withholding tax at source. To benefit from the reduced rate, an individual must have on file with BNYM or their broker proof of U.S. residency via a 6166 certificate. In order to obtain the certificate 6166, one must apply for it via the Internal Revenue Service form 8802 (www.irs.gov).

The taxes are withheld from the gross dividend payment and therefore the U.S. resident will receive a net dividend payment.

BBVA recommends that all individuals seek professional tax advice.

Global BuyDIRECT is a BNY Mellon sponsored dividend reinvestment and direct purchase program for ADS programs of non-U.S. companies.
