Share holder Remuneration System Abstract                
BBVA Shareholder Remuneration Policy       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 voluntary reserves for the instrumentation of the last “Dividend Option”, being the subsequent shareholders’ remunerations fully in cash, dated March 29, 2017
