Significant transactions in the first six months of 2022 Announcement of the agreement with Neon Payments Limited On February 14, 2022, BBVA announced the agreement with the company “Neon Payments Limited” ("the Company" in this section) for the subscription of 492,692 preference shares, representing approximately 21.7% of its share capital, through a share capital increase and in consideration of approximately USD 300 million (equal to approximately €263 million, using the applicable 1.14 EUR/USD exchange rate as of February 11, 2022). Despite owning more than 20% of the share capital, BBVA's ability to influence Neon Payments Limited financial and operating decisions policies is very limited, so the investment is recognized under the heading "Non-trading financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss". Neon Payments Limited, a company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom, is the owner of 100% of the shares of the Brazilian company “Neon Pagamentos S.A.”.

BBVA owns more than 99% of the share capital of these two companies), consequently, once the subscription was completed, BBVA holds, direct and indirectly, approximately 29.7% (equal to approximately 25.6% of the share capital on a fully diluted basis) of the share capital of the Company.

The total amount paid by BBVA was approximately 22,758 million Turkish lira (equivalent to approximately €1,390 million7) including the expenses associated with the transaction and net of the collection of the dividends corresponding to the stake acquired.

An amount of €3,609 million has been recorded under the heading “Other reserves” and there was a reclassification to “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” corresponding to the 36.12% acquired from minority interests to “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” of the parent company for an amount of €-2,685 million.

Significant transactions in 2021 Sale of BBVA’s U.S. Bancshares, Inc. to PNC Financial Service Group On June 1 2021, after obtaining all the required authorizations, BBVA completed the sale to The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. of 100% of the capital stock of its subsidiary BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc., which in turn owns all the capital stock of the bank, BBVA USA. The consideration received in cash by BBVA, as a consequence of the referred sale, amounts to approximately 11,500 million USD (price provided in the agreement minus the agreed closing price adjustments) equivalent to approximately €9,600 million (with an exchange rate of 1.20 EUR / USD). The accounting of both the results generated by BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc. since the announcement of the transaction and of its closing, have had an aggregate positive impact on the BBVA Group's Common Equity Tier 1 (fully loaded) ratio of approximately 294 basis points, which includes the generation of capital contributed by the subsidiary to the Group until the closing of the transaction (June 1, 2021) and a profit net of taxes of €582 million. Thus, the BBVA Group has been reflecting the results that BBVA USA Bancshares, Inc. has been generating, as well as the positive impact, mainly, of these results on the Common Equity Tier 1 ("fully loaded") ratio of BBVA Group. The calculation of the impact on Common Equity Tier 1 was made taking into account the amount of the transaction in euros and BBVA Group's financial statements as of June 2021.
