transformation. The new structure seeks to globally boost results in all franchises, increase the development of digital products and services, transform the business model of each geographic market where BBVA is present, accelerate cultural change
at BBVA toward a more flexible and agile organization and add critical competencies in key areas for transformation such as digital marketing, design of customer experience, software development and big data. As part of the organizational changes
implemented by BBVA, Carlos Torres Vila was appointed president and chief operating officer. In addition, new units were created with the goal to support BBVA&#146;s transformation strategy and changes were made to the composition and organizational
structure of certain areas of support and control within the BBVA Group. </P>

failure of such institution within a reasonable timeframe, and (c)&nbsp;a resolution action is in the public interest. The four resolution tools are: (i)&nbsp;sale of business&#151;which enables resolution authorities to direct the sale of the
institution or the whole or part of its business on commercial terms; (ii)&nbsp;bridge institution&#151;which enables resolution authorities to transfer all or part of the business of the institution to a &#147;bridge institution&#148; (an entity

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Law 11/2015 provides that the general bail-in tool shall be applied from January&nbsp;1, 2016. From this date, the Notes may be subject to the
exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, which may result in, among others, a write-down and/or conversion into equity or other securities or obligations of amounts due under such Notes, and the exercise of
any such power may result in Noteholders losing some or all of their investment or otherwise having their rights under such Notes adversely affected. For example, the Spanish Bail-in Power may be exercised in such a manner as to result in
Noteholders receiving a different security, which may be worth significantly less than the Notes and which may have significantly fewer protections than those afforded to investors by the terms of the Notes. Moreover, the exercise of the Spanish
Bail-in Power with respect to the Notes or the taking by an authority of any other action under Law 11/2015 or any similar law with respect to BBVA, or any suggestion that the exercise or taking of any such action may happen, could materially
adversely affect the rights of Noteholders, the price or value of the Notes and/or the ability of BBVA to satisfy its obligations under the Notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority with respect to the Notes is likely to be
inherently unpredictable and may depend on a number of factors which may be outside of BBVA&#146;s control. In addition, as the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority will retain an element of discretion, holders of the Notes may not be able to refer
to publicly available criteria in order to anticipate any potential exercise of any such Spanish Bail-in Power. Because of this inherent uncertainty, it will be difficult to predict when, if at all, the exercise of any Spanish Bail-in Power by the
Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority may occur. The uncertainty may adversely affect the value of the Notes and the market price and trading behavior of the Notes may be affected by the threat of a possible exercise by the Relevant Spanish
Resolution Authority of its Spanish Bail-in Power even if the likelihood of such exercise is remote. Moreover, the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority may exercise its Spanish Bail-in Power without providing any advance notice to the holders of
the Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, the European Banking Authority&#146;s preparation of certain regulatory technical standards and implementing
technical standards to be adopted by the European Commission and certain other guidelines is pending. These acts could be potentially relevant to determining when or how a Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority may exercise the Spanish Bail-in Power.
This pending acts include guidelines on the treatment of shareholders in bail-in or the write-down and conversion of capital instruments, and on the rate of conversion of debt to equity in any bail-in. We cannot assure you that, once adopted, these
standards will not be detrimental to your rights under, and the value of your investment in, the Notes. </P>

Commission&#146;s Proposal has very broad scope and could, if introduced, apply to certain dealings in the Notes (including secondary market transactions) in certain circumstances. The issuance and subscription of Notes should, however, be exempt.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Commission&#146;s Proposal the FTT could apply in certain circumstances to persons both within and outside of the participating
Member States. Generally, it would apply to certain dealings in the Notes where at least one party is a financial institution, and at least one party is established in a participating Member State. A financial institution may be, or be deemed to be,
&#147;established&#148; in a participating Member State in a broad range of circumstances, including (a)&nbsp;by transacting with a person established in a participating Member State or (b)&nbsp;where the financial instrument which is subject to the
dealings is issued in a participating Member State. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Joint statements issued by participating Member States indicate an intention to
implement the FTT by January&nbsp;1, 2016. However, the FTT proposal remains subject to negotiation between the participating Member States and the scope of any such tax is uncertain. Additional EU Member States may decide to participate. </P>

regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in their particular circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Sale, Exchange or Retirement of the Notes </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a Note, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between
the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement and the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in the Note. Gain or loss, if any, will generally be U.S.-source for purposes of computing a U.S. Holder&#146;s foreign tax credit limitation. For these
purposes, the amount realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued interest. Amounts attributable to accrued interest are treated as interest as described under &#147;&#151;Interest&#148; above. A U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in a
note generally will equal such U.S. Holder&#146;s initial investment in the Note. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or
retirement of a Note will generally be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or retirement the Note has been held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to
limitations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Information Reporting and Backup Withholding </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payments of interest and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Notes that are made within the United States or through certain
U.S.-related financial intermediaries generally are subject to information reporting and to backup withholding unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient or, in the case of backup withholding, the U.S. Holder provides a correct taxpayer
identification number and certifies that no loss of exemption from backup withholding has occurred. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder&#146;s U.S. federal income tax
liability and may entitle the U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain U.S. Holders who are individuals (and under proposed Treasury regulations, certain entities) may be required to report information
relating to the Notes, unless the Notes are held in accounts at financial institutions (in which case the accounts may be reportable if maintained by non-U.S. financial institutions). U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers regarding their
reporting obligations with respect to the ownership and disposition of the Notes. </P>

discontinue any market-making activities at any time without any notice. We cannot assure the liquidity of the trading market for the Notes or that an active public market for the Notes will develop. If an active public trading market for the Notes
does not develop, the market price and liquidity of the Notes may be adversely affected. If the Notes are traded, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending on prevailing interest rates, the market for similar

substantially similar to the Notes (other than the Notes), until the later of (i)&nbsp;the completion of the sale of the Notes by the underwriters (as determined by the representatives of the underwriters), but not more than 30 calendar days after

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell the Notes in the open market. These transactions may include short
sales and purchases on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater principal amount of Notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. The underwriters must close
out any short position by purchasing Notes in the open market. A short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the Notes in the open market after pricing that could
adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Similar to other purchase transactions, the underwriters&#146; purchases to
cover the syndicate short sales may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the Notes or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Notes. As a result, the price of the Notes may be higher than the price that
might otherwise exist in the open market. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter
repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the
transactions described above may have on the price of the Notes. In addition, neither we nor any of the underwriters make any representation that the underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not
be discontinued without notice. In addition, we have no control over whether the underwriters will engage in these transactions or certain transactions and other actions referred to under &#147;&#151;Other Relationships&#148; below and, if the
underwriters engage in them, we have no control over the direction or magnitude of any effect that any such transaction or action may have on the price of the Notes. </P>

the subordinated notes. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with Law 9/2012, if BBVA became the subject of a &#147;restructuring&#148;
(<I>reestructuraci&oacute;n</I>) or a &#147;resolution&#148; (<I>resoluci&oacute;n</I>) (each as defined in Law 9/2012), the relevant Spanish authorities (including the FROB and the Bank of Spain) could take or order BBVA or any of its affiliates
(including the subsidiary issuers) to take a Regulatory Bail-in Action with respect to any series of preferred securities or subordinated notes or any guarantees thereof of BBVA or any of its affiliates (including the subsidiary issuers), which
could result in holders of such securities losing some or all of their investment. Under Law 9/2012, BBVA could become the subject of a &#147;restructuring&#148; (<I>reestructuraci&oacute;n</I>) or a &#147;resolution&#148; (<I>resoluci&oacute;n</I>)
if BBVA or the BBVA Group were deemed to be in breach of (or if there were sufficient objective elements pursuant to which it was reasonable to foresee that it could breach) applicable regulatory requirements relating to solvency, liquidity,
internal structure or internal controls. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The execution of a Regulatory Bail-in Action with respect to any series of preferred securities
or subordinated notes offered hereunder or any suggestion that a Regulatory Bail-in Action may occur could materially adversely affect the value of any such securities issued hereunder. Regulatory Bail-in Actions that could be ordered by the
relevant authorities include, for example, the cancellation of all, or a portion of, the liquidation preference or principal amount of, or interest on, any series of preferred securities or subordinated notes offered hereunder, the conversion of
all, or a portion of, the liquidation preference or the principal amount of, or interest on, such securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of BBVA or another person which may be worth significantly less than the securities
offered hereunder and which may have significantly fewer protections than those afforded to investors by the terms of the securities offered hereunder, or the amendment of any of the other terms and conditions of any series of preferred securities
or subordinated notes offered hereunder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Moreover, the circumstances under which the relevant Spanish and European authorities would
exercise their Regulatory Bail-in Power is uncertain. Law 9/2012 provides Spanish authorities with discretion concerning the determination of when an entity shall become the subject of a &#147;restructuring&#148; (<I>reestructuraci&oacute;n</I>) or
a &#147;resolution&#148; (<I>resoluci&oacute;n</I>) and, in such event, whether a Regulatory Bail-in Action shall be taken in respect of any securities of such entity or any of its affiliates. Accordingly, holders of any preferred securities or
subordinated notes offered hereunder may not be able to refer to publicly available criteria in order to anticipate a potential taking of any such Regulatory Bail-in Action. The imposition of any such Regulatory Bail-in Action is likely to be
inherently unpredictable and may depend on a number of factors which may be outside of BBVA&#146;s control, including factors not directly related to BBVA. Because of this inherent uncertainty, it will be difficult to predict when, if at all, a
Regulatory Bail-in Action may be ordered which affects a series of preferred securities or subordinated notes offered hereunder. Accordingly, the market price and trading behavior may be affected by the threat of a possible Regulatory Bail-in Action
and, as a result, the preferred securities or subordinated notes offered hereunder are not necessarily expected to follow the trading behavior associated with other or similar types of securities no subject to Regulatory Bail-in Actions. Potential
investors in any series of preferred securities or subordinated notes offered hereunder should consider the risk that a holder may lose all of its investment if a Regulatory Bail-in Action is taken with respect to such securities. </P>

the relevant Spanish and European authorities over us and our securities, increase their regulatory discretion and generate further uncertainties regarding the circumstances under which Regulatory Bail-in Actions may be ordered. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;6, 2012, the European Commission published a legislative proposal for a directive providing for the establishment of an EU-wide
framework for the recovery and resolution of credit institutions and investment firms, known as the Recovery and Resolution Directive (the &#147;RRD&#148;), which has been subsequently subject to amendment but has not yet been adopted. The stated
aim of the draft RRD is to provide supervisory authorities with common tools and powers to address banking crises pre-emptively in order to safeguard financial stability and minimize taxpayers&#146; exposure to losses. The powers proposed to be
granted to supervisory authorities under the draft RRD include a &#147;bail-in&#148; tool, which would give such authorities the power to write-down or write-off the claims (potentially including any preferred securities, subordinated notes or
senior notes offered hereunder) of certain unsecured creditors of a failing institution and/or to convert certain debt claims to equity. Except for the general bail-in tool, which is expected to be implemented by January&nbsp;1, 2018, it is
currently contemplated that the measures set out in the draft RRD (including the power of authorities to write-off Additional Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruments) will be implemented with effect from January&nbsp;1, 2015. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding entered into with the Eurogroup in July 2012, Spain anticipated many of the provisions set
out in the then-current draft of the RRD through the adoption of Law 9/2012 in November 2012. However, following the adoption of Law 9/2012, the draft RRD has been subject to various revisions. For example, while Law 9/2012&#146;s scope does not
include Regulatory Bail-in Actions in respect of senior debt securities, senior debt securities could be subject to a Regulatory Bail-in Action under the current draft RRD. Because the RRD is still in draft form and will be subject to implementing
measures in Spain, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the types of securities in respect of which a Regulatory Bail-in Action could be ordered and the circumstances under which the relevant Spanish or European authorities would exercise
their Regulatory Bail-in Power. Moreover, it is unclear whether any Regulatory Bail-in Actions under the RRD could be taken with respect to securities that were issued before the adoption of the RRD, including any senior notes offered hereunder. We
cannot predict the changes to the Regulatory Bail-in Power that may be exercisable by the relevant Spanish or European authorities resulting from the adoption of the RRD, how such changes will be transposed into national law in Spain, including any
amendments that will be necessary to Law 9/2012, and how such changes will affect any preferred securities, senior notes and subordinated notes offered hereunder or their pricing or the market value of any securities offered hereunder. </P>

interest or distributions on, such securities into shares or other securities or other obligations of the relevant issuer or another person, and the amendment of other terms and conditions of such securities or any guarantees thereof. The terms of
any preferred securities and subordinated notes offered hereunder and any guarantees thereof and the rights of the holders under such securities are subject to, and will be varied, if necessary, solely to give effect to, any such Regulatory Bail-in
Action. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any Regulatory Bail-in Action may be taken in such a manner as to result in you and other holders of any preferred securities or
subordinated notes offered hereunder losing the value of all or a part of your investment in such securities or receiving a different security, which may be worth significantly less than the securities offered hereunder and which may have
significantly fewer protections than those afforded to investors by the terms of the securities offered hereunder. Moreover, the relevant Spanish and European authorities may order that a Regulatory Bail-in Action be taken without providing any
advance notice to the holders of the securities offered hereunder. Accordingly, the market price and trading behavior may be affected by the threat of a possible Regulatory Bail-in Action, even if the likelihood of such action is remote. </P>

in one ordinary share. The ordinary shares will be deposited with BBVA, The Bank of New York Mellon&#146;s custodian in Spain. Each BBVA ADS will also represent securities, cash or other property deposited with The Bank of New York Mellon but not
distributed to BBVA ADS holders. The Bank of New York Mellon&#146;s corporate trust office is located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, NY 10286 and its principal executive office is located at One Wall Street, New York, NY 10286. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You may hold BBVA ADSs either (A)&nbsp;directly (i)&nbsp;by having an American Depositary Receipt, also referred to as a BBVA ADR, which is a
certificate evidencing a specific number of BBVA ADSs, registered in your name, or (ii)&nbsp;by having BBVA ADSs registered in your name in the Direct Registration System (&#147;DRS&#148;), or (B)&nbsp;indirectly by holding a security entitlement in
BBVA ADSs through your broker or other financial institution. If you hold BBVA ADSs directly, you are an ADS registered holder. The information provided in this section &#147;Description of BBVA American Depositary Shares&#148; assumes you are an
ADS registered holder. If you hold the BBVA ADSs indirectly, you must rely on the procedures of your broker or other financial institution to assert the rights of BBVA ADS registered holders described herein. You should consult with your broker or
financial institution to find out what those procedures are. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The DRS is a system administered by The Depository Trust Company
(&#147;DTC&#148;) pursuant to which the depositary may register the ownership of uncertificated ADSs, which ownership will be evidenced by periodic statements sent by the depositary to the registered holders of uncertificated ADSs. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BBVA ADS holders are not BBVA shareholders and do not have shareholder rights. Because The Bank of New York Mellon will actually hold the
underlying ordinary shares, you must rely on The Bank of New York Mellon to exercise the rights of a shareholder. The obligations of The Bank of New York Mellon are set out in an amended and restated deposit agreement dated as of June&nbsp;29, 2007
among BBVA, The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary, and BBVA ADS holders, which is referred to as the deposit agreement. The deposit agreement and the BBVA ADSs are governed by New York law. </P>

documents and payments required under the deposit agreement or (ii)&nbsp;any other evidence of ownership of shares as recognized under the laws of Spain from time to time, and acceptable to the custodian, the depositary will have for delivery at the
depositary&#146;s corporate trust office to or upon the order of the person specified by the depositor at the address set forth above, upon payment of the fees, charges and taxes provided in the deposit agreement, registered in the name of such

at the depositary&#146;s corporate trust office, together with written instructions from the person or persons in whose name the BBVA ADSs are registered, and upon payment of such charges as are provided in the deposit agreement and subject to its
terms, the depositary will request the execution of evidence of ownership in favor of such persons designated in the written instrument and the delivery of such evidence of ownership (by book-entry transfer or physical delivery) of the deposited
shares represented by the surrendered BBVA ADSs and any other property that the surrendered BBVA ADSs represent the right to receive. Such delivery is to take place at the office of the custodian or at the depositary&#146;s office as the person

indenture&#148;) between BBVA as issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee, which sets forth certain provisions with respect to the senior notes that may be offered by BBVA, and the indenture dated as of July&nbsp;25, 2013 (the
&#147;subordinated indenture&#148;) between BBVA as issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee, which sets forth certain provisions with respect to the subordinated notes that may be offered by BBVA. In this section &#147;Description of the
Notes of BBVA&#148;, we will refer to the senior notes and the subordinated notes as the &#147;notes&#148; and the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture as the &#147;indentures&#148;. A prospectus supplement will describe the specific
terms of a particular series of notes and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those notes. If there is any conflict between the prospectus supplement and this prospectus, then the terms and provisions in the prospectus
supplement apply unless they are inconsistent with the terms of the indentures or the supplemental indenture or Board resolution creating a particular series of notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All material information about the notes and indentures is summarized below and in the applicable prospectus supplement. Because this is only
a summary, however, it does not contain all the details found in the full text of the indentures and the notes. If you would like additional information, you should read the indentures and the notes as well as the supplemental indenture or Board
resolution creating a particular series of notes or the officer&#146;s certificate for such series. Whenever we refer to specific provisions of or terms defined in the indentures in this prospectus we incorporate by reference into this prospectus
such specific provisions of or terms defined in the indentures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BBVA may issue future notes under other indentures or documentation which
contain provisions different from those included in the indentures described here. BBVA is not prohibited under the notes or indentures from paying any amounts due under any of its obligations at a time when they are in default or have failed to pay
any amounts due under the notes or indentures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The senior notes will be issued under the senior indenture and the subordinated notes will
be issued under the subordinated indenture. Both such indentures have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. Each of the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture will be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act. Under the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, if the same institution acts as trustee under the senior indenture and under the subordinated indenture, upon a default in any series of notes issued under either
indenture, the trustee may be deemed to have a conflicting interest and may be required to resign and a successor trustee will be appointed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General

of its subsidiaries may incur or issue. BBVA can issue notes from time to time in one or more series, up to any aggregate principal amount that BBVA may authorize. The notes will be direct, unconditional and unsecured debt obligations of BBVA. </P>

among BBVA U.S. Senior as issuer, BBVA as guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee, which sets forth certain provisions with respect to the senior notes and the senior guarantees that may be offered by BBVA U.S. Senior and BBVA,
respectively, and the indenture dated as of July&nbsp;25, 2013 (the &#147;subordinated indenture&#148;) among BBVA Subordinated Capital as issuer, BBVA as guarantor and The Bank of New York Mellon as trustee, which sets forth certain provisions with
respect to the subordinated notes and the subordinated guarantees that may be offered by BBVA Subordinated Capital and BBVA, respectively. In this section &#147;Description of the Notes of BBVA U.S. Senior and BBVA Subordinated Capital and the Notes
Guarantees&#148;, we will refer to BBVA U.S. Senior and BBVA Subordinated Capital as the &#147;issuers&#148;, the senior notes and the subordinated notes as the &#147;notes&#148;, the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture as the
&#147;indentures&#148; and the senior guarantees and the subordinated guarantees as the &#147;notes guarantees&#148;. A prospectus supplement of the relevant issuer will describe the specific terms of a particular series of notes and any general
terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those notes. If there is any conflict between the prospectus supplement and this prospectus, then the terms and provisions in the prospectus supplement apply unless they are inconsistent with the
terms of the indentures or the supplemental indenture or Board resolution creating a particular series of notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All material information
about the notes, notes guarantees and indentures is summarized below and in the applicable prospectus supplement. Because this is only a summary, however, it does not contain all the details found in the full text of the indentures, the notes and
the notes guarantees. If you would like additional information, you should read the indentures, the notes and the notes guarantees as well as the supplemental indenture or Board resolution creating a particular series of notes or the officer&#146;s
certificate for such series. Whenever we refer to specific provisions of or terms defined in the indentures in this prospectus we incorporate by reference into this prospectus such specific provisions of or terms defined in the indentures. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BBVA U.S. Senior or BBVA Subordinated Capital may issue future notes and BBVA may issue future guarantees of such notes under other indentures
or documentation which contain provisions different from those included in the indentures described here. None of the issuers or BBVA are prohibited under the notes, indentures or notes guarantees, as the case may be, from paying any amounts due
under any of their respective obligations at a time when they are in default or have failed to pay any amounts due under the notes, indentures or notes guarantees, as the case may be. See &#147;&#151;Subordinated Notes and Subordinated
Guarantees&#148;. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The senior notes will be issued under the senior indenture and the subordinated notes will be issued under the
subordinated indenture. Both such indentures have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. Each of the senior indenture and the subordinated indenture will be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act. Under the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, if the same institution acts as trustee under the senior indenture and under the subordinated indenture, upon a default in any series of notes issued under either indenture, the trustee
may be deemed to have a conflicting interest and may be required to resign and a successor trustee will be appointed. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The indentures do not limit the aggregate principal amount of notes that BBVA U.S. Senior or BBVA Subordinated Capital may issue under them.
However, on June&nbsp;24, 2013, the Guarantor&#146;s Board of Directors resolved to provide an irrevocable guarantee up to an aggregate amount of &#128;6 billion (or its equivalent in any other currency) for future issues of notes made by the
issuers, and as of the date of this prospectus the Guarantor has not issued any guarantees under this authorization. The Guarantor&#146;s Board of Directors may at any time increase or decrease the aggregate amount for such guarantees authorized for
future issuances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither the indentures, nor the notes, nor the notes guarantees will limit or otherwise restrict the amount of other
indebtedness or other securities or guarantees which the issuers, the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries may incur or issue. BBVA U.S. Senior or BBVA Subordinated Capital can issue notes from time to time in one or more series, up to the aggregate
principal amount that BBVA U.S. Senior, BBVA Subordinated Capital and the Guarantor may authorize. The notes will be direct, unconditional and unsecured debt obligations of BBVA U.S. Senior or BBVA Subordinated Capital, as the case may be. The notes
guarantees will be direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Guarantor. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The issuers, the Guarantor or any of their respective subsidiaries may at any time purchase senior notes or subordinated notes at any price in
the open market or otherwise. Such notes purchased may be held, reissued, resold or surrendered to the relevant paying agent and/or the relevant registrar for cancellation, except that senior notes purchased by BBVA U.S. Senior and subordinated
notes purchased by BBVA Subordinated Capital must be surrendered to the relevant paying agent and/or the relevant registrar for cancellation in accordance with prevailing Spanish law and the Bank of Spain&#146;s requirements. </P>

depositary shares are pre-released or intermediaries in the chain of ownership between U.S. holders and the issuer of the security underlying the depositary share may be taking actions that are inconsistent with the claiming of foreign tax credits
for U.S. holders of depositary shares. Such actions would also be inconsistent with the claiming of the reduced rate of tax applicable to dividends received by certain noncorporate U.S. Holders, as described below. Accordingly, the analysis of the
creditability of Spanish taxes described below, and the availability of the reduced tax rate for dividends received by certain noncorporate U.S. Holders, could be affected by future actions that may be taken by the parties to whom the depositary

ordinary shares (other than certain <I>pro rata</I> distributions of BBVA&#146;s capital stock or rights to subscribe for shares of its capital stock) will be includible in the income of a U.S. Holder as ordinary dividend income, to the extent paid
out of BBVA&#146;s current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles. Because BBVA does not maintain calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, it
is expected that distributions generally will be reported to U.S. Holders as dividends. The amount of such dividends will be treated as foreign-source dividend income and will not be eligible for the &#147;dividends received deduction&#148;
generally allowed to U.S. corporations under the Code. Subject to applicable limitations and the discussion above regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, dividends paid to noncorporate U.S. Holders may be taxable at favorable rates

the date such distribution is received (which, for U.S. Holders of ADSs, will be the date such distribution is received by the depositary), whether or not the depositary or U.S. Holder in fact converts any euro received into U.S. dollars at that
time. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder generally should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or
loss if such dividend is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of its receipt. In general, any foreign currency gain or loss will be ordinary gain or loss. </P>

regarding concerns expressed by the U.S. Treasury, a U.S. Holder will be entitled to a credit against its U.S. federal income tax liability for Spanish NRIT taxes withheld by BBVA or its paying agent not in excess of the applicable rate under the
Treaty. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. The rules governing foreign tax credits are complex and, therefore, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisers
regarding the availability of foreign tax credits in their particular circumstances. In lieu of claiming a foreign tax credit, U.S. Holders may elect to deduct all foreign taxes paid or accrued in a taxable year (including any Spanish NRIT
withholding tax) in computing their taxable income, subject to generally applicable limitations under U.S. federal income tax law. </P>

the market value of its assets (including, among others, less than 25% owned equity investments) from time to time, there can be no assurance that we will not be considered a PFIC for any taxable year. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, if we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held ADSs or ordinary shares, gain recognized by such
U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition of an ADS or an ordinary share would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period for the ADS or the ordinary share. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other
disposition and to any year before we became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for ordinary income of taxpayers of the U.S. Holder&#146;s
type for such taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the resulting tax liability for such taxable year. Similar tax rules would apply to any distribution in respect of ADSs or ordinary shares to the extent in excess of 125% of the
average of the annual distributions on ADSs or ordinary shares received by the U.S. Holder during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period, whichever is shorter. Certain elections may be available (including a

owns ADSs or ordinary shares during any year in which we are a PFIC, such holder would be required to make an annual return (including reporting with respect to distributions received from BBVA and any gain realized on the sale or other taxable
disposition of ADSs or ordinary shares). Furthermore, if we are a PFIC in any taxable year in which we pay a dividend or the prior taxable year, the favorable tax rates discussed above with respect to dividends paid to certain noncorporate U.S.

</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A U.S. Holder of original issue discount notes will be required to include any qualified stated interest payments in income in accordance
with the U.S. Holder&#146;s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, U.S. Holders of original issue discount notes that mature more than one year from their date of issuance will be required to include original issue
discount in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues, in accordance with a constant yield method based on a compounding of interest, before the receipt of cash payments attributable to this income. Under this method, U.S. Holders of
original issue discount notes generally will be required to include in income increasingly greater amounts of original issue discount in successive accrual periods. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A U.S. Holder may make an election to include in gross income all interest that accrues on any note (including stated interest, original issue

election&#148;). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In general, floating rate notes providing for one or more qualified floating rates of interest, a single fixed rate and
one or more qualified floating rates, a single objective rate, or a single fixed rate and a single objective rate that is a qualified inverse floating rate, as such terms are defined in applicable Treasury regulations, will have qualified stated
interest if interest is unconditionally payable at least annually during the term of the note at a rate that is considered to be a single qualified floating rate or a single objective rate under the following rules; provided that the issue price of
the note does not exceed the total noncontingent principal payments due under the note by more than an amount equal to the lesser of (x)&nbsp;0.015 multiplied by the product of the total noncontingent principal payments and the number of complete
years to maturity from the issue date or (y)&nbsp;15% of the total noncontingent principal payments. A &#147;qualified floating rate&#148; is any variable rate where variations in the value of such rate can reasonably be expected to measure
contemporaneous variations in the cost of newly borrowed funds in the currency in which the floating rate notes is denominated. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a
floating rate note provides for two or more qualified floating rates that can reasonably be expected to have approximately the same values throughout the term of the note, the qualified floating rates together constitute a single qualified floating
rate. If interest on a debt instrument is stated at a fixed rate for an initial period of one year or less followed by a variable rate that is either a qualified floating rate or an objective rate for a subsequent period, and the value of the
variable rate on the issue date is intended to approximate the fixed rate, the fixed rate and the variable rate together constitute a single qualified floating rate or objective rate. Two or more rates will be conclusively presumed to meet the
requirements of the preceding sentences if the values of the applicable rates on the issue date are within 1/4 of one percent of each other. If a floating rate note provides for stated interest at either a single qualified floating rate or a single
objective rate throughout the term thereof that is unconditionally payable in cash or property (other than debt instruments of the issuer) at least annually, then all stated interest on such note will constitute qualified stated interest and will
therefore not be treated as having been issued with original issue discount unless the note is issued at a &#147;true&#148; discount (<I>i.e.</I>, at a price below the note&#146;s stated principal amount) in excess of the specified <I>de minimis</I>

qualified stated interest, the U.S. Holder will be considered to have purchased the note with amortizable bond premium. In general, amortizable bond premium with respect to any note will be equal in amount to the excess of the purchase price over
the sum of all amounts payable on the note other than qualified stated interest and the U.S. Holder may elect to amortize this premium, using a constant-yield method, over the remaining term of the note. Special rules may apply in the case of notes
that are subject to optional redemption. A U.S. Holder may generally use the amortizable bond premium allocable to an accrual period to offset qualified stated interest required to be included in the U.S. Holder&#146;s income with respect to the
note in that accrual period. A U.S. Holder who elects to amortize bond premium must reduce the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in the note by the amount of the premium amortized in any year. An election to amortize bond premium applies to all taxable
debt obligations then owned and thereafter acquired by the U.S. Holder and may be revoked only with the permission of the Internal Revenue Service. </P>

realized on the sale, exchange or retirement and the U.S. Holder&#146;s adjusted tax basis in the note. Gain or loss, if any, will generally be U.S.-source for purposes of computing a U.S. Holder&#146;s foreign tax credit limitation. For these
purposes, the amount realized does not include any amount attributable to accrued interest. Amounts attributable to accrued interest are treated as interest as described under &#147;&#151;Payments of Interest&#148; above. A U.S. Holder&#146;s
adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal such U.S. Holder&#146;s initial investment in the note increased by any original issue discount included in income and decreased by any bond premium previously amortized and principal payments
previously received. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as described below, gain or loss realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a note will generally be

accrued income will be determined by translating the income at the average rate of exchange for the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average rate for the partial period within the taxable

the overall gain or loss on the notes and any loss realized on the sale, exchange or retirement of a foreign currency note with amortizable bond premium by a U.S. Holder who has not elected to amortize the premium will be a capital loss to the

the price of such securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on such securities. Specifically, the underwriters may sell more securities than they
are obligated to purchase in connection with the offering, creating a short position for their own accounts. A short sale is covered if the short position is no greater than the number or amount of securities available for purchase by the
underwriters under any over-allotment option. The underwriters can close out a covered short sale by exercising the over-allotment option or purchasing such securities in the open market. In determining the source of securities to close out a
covered short sale, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the open market price of such securities compared to the price available under any over-allotment option. The underwriters may also sell the securities covered by this
prospectus in excess of any over-allotment option, creating a naked short position. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the
underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the offered securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering. As an additional means of facilitating the
offering, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, such securities or any other securities in the open market to stabilize the price of such securities or of any other securities. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid on certain
underwriters. This means that if the underwriters purchase the securities in the open market to reduce the underwriters&#146; short position or to stabilize the price of the securities, they may reclaim the amount of the selling concession from the
underwriters who sold those securities as part of the offering. In general, purchases of a security for the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the price of the security to be higher than it might be in the absence of
such purchases. The imposition of a penalty bid might also have an effect on the price of a security to the extent that it were to discourage resales of the security. Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of such securities
above independent market levels or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of such securities. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. </P>
