Share holder Remuneration System Abstract |
Disclosure Share holder Remuneration System Explanatory | 4. Shareholder remuneration system BBVA’s shareholder remuneration policy communicated in October 2013 established the distribution of an annual pay-out of between 35% and 40% of the profits earned in each year and the progressive reduction of the remuneration via “Dividend Options”, so that the shareholders’ remuneration would ultimately be fully in cash. As announced on February 1, 2017, BBVA’s Board of Directors executed a capital increase to be charged to volunta ry reserves for the instrumentation of the last “Dividend Option”, being the subsequent shareholders’ remunerations fully in cash, dated March 29, 2017. This fully – in - cash shareholders’ remuneration policy would be composed, for each year, of a distri bution on account of the dividend of such year (expected to be paid in October) and a final dividend (which would be paid once the year has ended and the profit allocation has been approved, expected for April), subject to the applicable authorizations by the competent governing bodies. Shareholder remuneration scheme “Dividend Option” During 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017, the Group implemented a shareholder remuneration system referred to as “Dividend Option”. Under such remuneration scheme, BBVA offered its shareholders the possibility to receive all or part of their remuneration in the form of newly-issued BBVA ordinary shares, whilst maintaining the possibility for BBVA shareholders to receive their entire remuneration in cash by selling the rig hts of free allocation assigned either to BBVA (in execution of the commitment assumed by BBVA to acquire the rights of free allocation at a guaranteed fixed price) or by selling the rights of free allocation on the market at the prevailing market price at that time. However, the execution of the commitment assumed by BBVA was only available to whoever had been originally assigned such rights of free allocation and only in connection with the rights of free allocation initially allocated at such time. On Ma rch 29, 2017, BBVA’s Board of Directors resolved to execute the capital increase to be charged to voluntary reserves approved by the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) held on March 17, 2017, under agenda item three, to implement a “Dividend Option” this year. As a result of this increase, the Bank’s share capital increased by €49,622,955.62 through the issuance of 101,271,338 newly-issued BBVA ordinary shares at 0.49 euros par value, given that 83.28% of owners of the rights of free allocation opted to receive newly issued BBVA ordinary shares. The remaining 16.72% of the owners of the rights of free allocation exercised the commitment assumed by BBVA, and as a result, BBVA acquired 1,097,962,903 rights (at a gross price of €0.131 each) for a total amount of €1 43,833,140.29. This amount is recorded in “Total Equity-Dividends and Remuneration” of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 (see Note 26). On September, 28 2016, BBVA’s Board of Directors resolved to execute the second of the share capita l increases to be charged to voluntary reserves, as agreed by the AGM held on March 11, 2016. As a result of this increase, the Bank’s share capital increased by €42,266,085.33 through the issuance of 86,257,317 newly-issued BBVA ordinary shares at 0.49 eu ros par value, given that 87.85% of owners of the rights of free allocation opted to receive newly-issued BBVA ordinary shares. The remaining 12.15% of the owners of the rights of free allocation exercised the commitment assumed by BBVA, and as a result, B BVA acquired 787,374,942 rights (at a gross price of €0.08 each) for a total amount of €62,989,995.36. This amount is recorded in “Total Equity-Dividends and Remuneration” of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 (see Note 26). On March 3 1, 2016, BBVA’s Board of Directors resolved to execute the first of the share capital increases to be charged to voluntary reserves, as agreed by the AGM held on March 11, 2016 for the implementation of the shareholder remuneration system called the “Divid end Option”. As a result of this increase, the Bank’s share capital increased by €55,702,125.43 through the issuance of 113,677,807 newly-issued BBVA ordinary shares at a €0.49 par value, given that 82.13% of owners of the rights of free allocation opted t o receive newly-issued BBVA ordinary shares. The remaining 17.87% of the owners of the rights of free allocation exercised the commitment assumed by BBVA, and as a result, BBVA acquired 1,137,500,965 rights (at a gross price of €0.129 each) for a total amo unt of €146,737,624.49. This amount is recorded in “Total Equity- Dividends and Remuneration” of the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 (see Note 26).
