The change in the balance under this heading of the consolidated balance sheet for 2012 is basically due to the following transactions:
- Repurchase of securitization bonds in June 2012
On June 20, 2012, BBVA invited all securitization bond holders of specific issues to tender their bonds for purchase. The term for presenting the tenders ended on June 27, 2012.
After the deadline, in accordance with the terms established by the Tender Offer Memorandum, BBVA accepted the purchase of securitization bonds for a total nominal amount of €638,221,693.07. The purchase was carried out through an unmodified Dutch auction procedure. No pro-rata factor was applied to the bonds subject to the repurchase by BBVA.
The settlement of the securitization bond purchase generated gross capital gains of around €250 million, which have been registered under the heading “Gains/losses on financial assets and liabilities (net)" (Note 44) in the consolidated income statement for 2012.
This transaction was carried out in order to improve the management of liabilities and strengthen the BBVA Group’s balance sheet, as well as to offer liquidity to the holders of securitization bonds.
23.4 Subordinated liabilities

Of the above, the issuances of BBVA International, Ltd., BBVA Capital Finance, S.A.U., BBVA International Preferred, S.A.U., BBVA Subordinated Capital, S.A.U. and BBVA Global Finance, Ltd. are jointly, severally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Bank.
Subordinated debt
These issuances are non-convertible subordinated debt and accordingly, for debt seniority purposes, they rank behind ordinary debt, but ahead of the Bank’s shareholders, without prejudice to any different seniority that may exist between the different types of subordinated debt instruments according to the terms and conditions of each issue. The breakdown of this heading in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, disregarding valuation adjustments, by currency of issuance and interest rate is shown in Appendix VIII. The variations in the balance are mainly the result of the following transactions:
- Repurchase of subordinated bonds in November 2012
On October 11, 2012, BBVA invited all subordinated bond holders of specific Spanish and international issues to tender their bonds for purchase. Within the Spanish subordinated bonds there were two series for which acceptance of the purchase offers by BBVA depended on prior approval by the bondholder syndicates of the possibility of BBVA buying those bonds. The term for presenting the tenders ended on October 26, 2012.
After the deadline, in accordance with the terms established in the Tender Offer Memorandum, BBVA decided to present tenders for the subordinated bonds with consent and, following approval by the bondholder syndicates, accept the purchase of subordinated bonds with consent for a total nominal amount of approximately €410 million. Moreover, in accordance with the terms established in the Tender Offer Memorandum for the subordinated bonds without consent, BBVA agreed to buy subordinated bonds without consent for a total nominal amount of approximately €692 million. The purchase of both subordinated bonds with consent and subordinated bonds without consent was completed through an unmodified Dutch auction procedure and no pro-rata factor was applied to the bonds repurchased by BBVA.
The settlement of both subordinated bond purchases generated gross capital gains of around €192 million, which have been registered under the heading “Gains/losses on financial assets and liabilities (net)" (Note 44) in the consolidated income statement for 2012.
- Conversion of subordinated bond issues
At its meeting on November 22, 2011, making use of the powers delegated to it under Point Six of the Agenda of the Bank’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on March 14, 2008, the Board of Directors of BBVA agreed to issue convertible bonds in December 2011 (the “Issue” or “Convertible Bonds-December 2011” or the “Bonds”) for a maximum amount of €3,475 million, excluding a preemptive subscription right.
This issue was aimed exclusively at holders of preferred securities issued by BBVA Capital Finance, S.A. Unipersonal (series A, B, C and D) or BBVA International Limited (series F), all guaranteed by BBVA, S.A., who accepted BBVA’s purchase offer for these preferred securities.
Thus, those who accepted the purchase offer made by BBVA made an unconditional and irrevocable undertaking to subscribe a nominal amount of Convertible Bonds-December 2011 equivalent to 100% of the total nominal or cash amount for the preferred securities they owned and that would be acquired by BBVA.
On December 30, 2011, when this introductory period had ended, orders were received for the subscription of 34,300,002 Convertible Bonds with a nominal value of €100 each, giving a total of €3,430 million, compared with the initially planned €3,475 million. This means that holders of 98.71% of the preferred securities to be repurchased accepted the repurchase offer made by BBVA. The Convertible Bonds were recognized as financial liabilities since the number of Bank shares to be delivered can vary.
The terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds established a voluntary conversion mechanism for the holders on March 30, 2012. Following this date, orders were received for the voluntary conversion of a total of €955 million, corresponding to 9,547,559 Convertible Bonds, or 27.84% of the original amount of the issue of Convertible Bonds-December 2011. To pay for this conversion, 157,875,375 new ordinary BBVA shares were issued at a par value of €0.49 each (see Note 27).
Also, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds, on June 30, 2012 a partial mandatory conversion took place of 50% of the nominal value of the issue through the corresponding reduction of the nominal value of each and every one of the Convertible Bonds outstanding on that date, whose value then fell from a nominal €100 to €50. A total of 238,682,213 new ordinary BBVA shares were issued at a par value of €0.49 each to pay for this conversion (see Note 27).
As of December 31, 2012, the nominal amount of outstanding Convertible Bonds is €1,238 million.
Without prejudice to the capacity of the issuer to convert Convertible Bonds on any payment date, the terms and conditions of the issue lay down that on June 30, 2013, the maturity date of the issue, the Convertible Bonds outstanding on that date will be subject to mandatory conversion.
