With regard to Carlos Torres Vila, the Remuneration Policy for BB VA Directors provides for a benefits framework according to which he is entitled, provided that he does not leave his position as Chief Executive Officer due to serious breach of duties, to receive a retirement pension when he reaches the legally establish ed retirement age, in the form of capital or income. The amount of this pension shall result from the funds accumulated by the Bank up to December 2016 to cover the commitments under his previous benefits scheme, plus the sum of the annual contributions ma de by the Bank from 1 January 2017 to cover said pension, as well as the corresponding accumulated yields. The amount set out in the Remuneration Policy for BBVA Directors as annual contribution to cover retirement benefit under the defined-contribution s cheme for Carlos Torres Vila is €1,642 thousand. 15% of the aforementioned agreed annual contribution will be based on variable components and considered "discretionary pension benefits", therefore subject to the conditions regarding delivery in shares, r etention and clawback established in the applicable regulations, as well as any other conditions concerning variable remuneration that may be applicable in accordance with this Policy. Should the contractual relationship be terminated before he reaches the retirement age for reasons other than serious breach of duties, the retirement pension due to Carlos Torres Vila upon reaching the legally established retirement age will be calculated based on the total contributions made by the Bank under the terms set out, up to that date, plus the corresponding accumulated yield, with no additional contributions to be made by the Bank from the time of termination. With respect to the commitments to cover the contingencies for death and disability benefits for Carlos To rres Vila, the Bank will undertake the payment of the corresponding annual insurance premiums in order to top up the coverage the death and disability contingencies of his benefits system. In line with the above, during the 2018 financial year, €1,896 thou sand has been recorded to meet the benefits commitments for Carlos Torres Vila, amount which includes the contribution to the retirement contingency (€1,642 thousand) and to death and disability (€212 thousand), as well as €42 thousand corresponding to the adjustments made to the amount of "discretionary pension benefits" from 2017, as declared at 2017 year-end and which had to be recorded in the accumulated fund in 2018. As a result, the total accumulated amount of the fund to meet retirement commitments w ith Carlos Torres Vila amounts to €18,581 thousand as at 31 December 2018. 15% of the agreed annual contribution to retirement (€246 thousand) has been recognized in 2018 as "discretionary pension benefits". Following year-end 2018, this amount has been a djusted according to the criteria established to determine Carlos Torres Vila's Annual Variable Remuneration for 2018. Accordingly, the "discretionary pension benefits" for the financial year have been determined in an amount of €245 thousand, which will b e included in the accumulated fund for 2019, subject to the same conditions as the Deferred Component of Annual Variable Remuneration for 2018, as well as the remaining conditions established for these benefits in the Remuneration Policy for BBVA Directors.

José Manuel González-Páramo Martínez-Murillo, upon reaching retirement age, will be entitled to receive, in the form of capital or income, the benefits arising from contributions made by the Bank to cover pension commitments, plus the corresponding yi eld accumulated up to that date, provided he does not leave his position due to serious breach of duties. In the event of voluntary termination of contractual relationship by the director before retirement, the benefits will be limited to 50% of the contri butions made by the Bank up to that date, as well as the corresponding accumulated yield, with no additional contributions to be made by the Bank upon termination. With respect to the commitments to cover the contingencies for death and disability benefit s for José Manuel González-Páramo Martínez-Murillo, the Bank will undertake the payment of the corresponding annual insurance premiums in order to top up the coverage the death and disability contingencies of his benefits system. In line with the above, du ring the 2018 financial year, €405 thousand has been recorded to meet the benefits commitments for José Manuel González-Páramo Martínez-Murillo, amount which includes the contribution to the retirement contingency (€250 thousand) and to death and disabilit y (€147 thousand), as well as €8 thousand corresponding to the adjustments made to the amount of "discretionary pension benefits" from 2017, as declared at 2017 year-end and which had to be recorded in the accumulated fund in 2018. As a result, the total a ccumulated amount of the fund to meet retirement commitments with José Manuel González-Páramo amounts to €1,067 thousand as at 31 December 2018. 15% of the agreed annual contribution to retirement (€38 thousand) has been recognized in 2018 as "discretiona ry pension benefits". Following year-end 2018, this amount has been adjusted according to the criteria established to determine José Manuel González-Páramo Martínez-Murillo’s Annual Variable Remuneration for 2018. Accordingly, the "discretionary pension be nefits" for the financial year have been determined in an amount of €42 thousand, which will be included in the accumulated fund for 2019, subject to the same conditions as the Deferred Component of Annual Variable Remuneration for 2018, as well as the rem aining conditions established for these benefits in the Remuneration Policy for BBVA Directors.
