Forward-Looking Statements

This communication includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed transaction, including the anticipated timing of the transaction and statements regarding the consequences of the transaction. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by terminology such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “project,” “target,” “plan,” “expect,” or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. The absence of these words, however, does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations, beliefs, estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable as and when made by BBVA and its management, are inherently uncertain. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, BBVA’s ability to complete the transaction; BBVA’s ability to control Banco de Sabadell, S.A. (“Banco Sabadell”) following completion of the transaction; limitations on the information about Banco Sabadell to which BBVA has had access; and BBVA’s ability to fully realize the expected benefits and synergies of completing the transaction. All such factors are difficult to predict and are beyond BBVA’s control, including those detailed in the Registration Statement and in BBVA’s annual reports on Form 20-F and current reports on Form 6-K, all of which are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. BBVA undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
