 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.</B> (BBVA), in compliance with the Securities Market legislation, hereby
communicates the following: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:24pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B><U>RELEVANT INFORMATION </U></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further to the relevant information dated 15<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th </SUP>and
28<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP>&nbsp;October, 2016, BBVA hereby communicates that the trading period of the rights of free allocation of the capital increase to be charged to voluntary reserves resolved by the Annual
General Shareholders&#146; Meeting of BBVA held on 11<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP>&nbsp;March, 2016, under section 3.2 of agenda item three, and executed by BBVA&#146;s Board of Directors, at its meeting held on 28<SUP
STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP>&nbsp;September, 2016, for the implementation of the shareholders remuneration system called &#147;Dividend Option&#148;, ended on

relevant trading orders, holders of 12.15% of the rights of free allocation have exercised BBVA&#146;s undertaking to acquire such rights of free allocation. Consequently, BBVA has acquired 787,374,942 rights for a total consideration of
62,989,995.36 Euro. BBVA has waived the rights of free allocation so acquired. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holders of the remaining 87.85% of the rights of free allocation have
opted to receive new BBVA ordinary shares. Thus, the definitive number of BBVA ordinary shares of 0.49 Euro of par value to be issued in the capital increase to be charged to voluntary reserves is 86,257,317 and the aggregate nominal value of the
capital increase is 42,266,085.33 Euro. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is expected that the new shares will be admitted to trading on the Spanish Stock Exchanges, through the
Spanish SIBE (<I>Sistema de Interconexi&oacute;n Burs&aacute;til Espa&ntilde;ol</I>) electronic trading platform (<I>Mercado Continuo</I>), on 25<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP>&nbsp;October, 2016, so that ordinary trading of
such shares on the Spanish Stock Exchanges will commence on 26<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top">th</SUP>&nbsp;October, 2016, all subject to the granting of the relevant authorizations. Admission to listing of the new shares (including
American Depositary Shares underlying new shares) in the rest of stock exchanges where BBVA&#146;s shares are traded will also be requested. </P>
