</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Pursuant to Rule 477 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;<B>Securities Act</B>&#8221;), Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A., a bank
organized under the laws of the Kingdom of Spain (&#8220;<B>BBVA</B>&#8221;), respectfully requests the withdrawal of its Registration Statement on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">F-4</FONT> (File
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">No.&nbsp;333-281111),</FONT> together with all amendments and exhibits thereto (collectively, the &#8220;<B>Registration Statement</B>&#8221;). The Registration Statement was originally filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the &#8220;<B>Commission</B>&#8221;) on July&nbsp;31, 2024, and amended on September&nbsp;20, 2024, October&nbsp;15, 2024, February&nbsp;27, 2025 and September&nbsp;5, 2025. The Registration Statement was declared effective by
the Commission on September&nbsp;8, 2025, and no securities have been sold or issued thereunder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registration Statement registered BBVA&#8217;s
proposed exchange offer to all shareholders of Banco de Sabadell, S.A., a bank organized under the laws of Spain (&#8220;<B>Banco Sabadell</B>&#8221;), to acquire all of the issued and outstanding registered shares of Banco Sabadell, in exchange for
ordinary shares of BBVA (the &#8220;<B>Offer</B>&#8221;). On October&nbsp;16, 2025, BBVA announced that the Offer will not proceed as the minimum acceptance condition set by BBVA has not been met. Because the proposed sale of the securities
registered under the Registration Statement will not occur, BBVA believes that the withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated by Rule 477(a) of the Securities Act.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">BBVA requests that, in accordance with Rule 457(p) of the Securities Act, all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the
Registration Statement be credited to BBVA for future use. </P>
