The authority includes the establishment of the terms and conditions of the capital increase, determination of the nominal value of the shares to be issued, their characteristics and any privileges they may confer, the attribution of the right of redemption and the conditions of redemption, and the exercise of that right by the Company.

To attribute the power to the Board of Directors to exclude pre-emptive subscription rights on the share issues made under this authority, pursuant to article 506 of the Corporate Enterprises Act.

Likewise, to attribute to the Board of Directors powers to freely offer the shares not subscribed within the pre-emptive subscription period(s), when any such period is granted; and to establish that, should the issue be undersubscribed, the capital will be increased by the amount effectively subscribed, pursuant to article 311 of the Corporate Enterprises Act; and to redraft article 5 of the Company Bylaws.

All this will be done pursuant to applicable legal and Bylaw provisions at any time, and is conditional on obtaining due permits.

It is expressly recognised that the Company is subject to any rules existing now or in the future regarding negotiation, and especially trading, listing and delisting of the securities, and the commitment that, should application be made for delisting of the securities, this will adopted pursuant to the formal requirements under applicable regulations and, in such case, the interest of shareholders opposing or not voting in favour of this will be guaranteed, in compliance with the requirements established under the Corporate Enterprises Act, the Securities Exchange Act and other applicable regulations.

3. To confer authority on the Board of Directors to delegate the authority conferred by this General Meeting relating to the foregoing resolutions to the Executive Committee, with express powers to delegate them; to the Chairman of the Board of Directors; to the Chief Operating Officer; or to any other director or proxy of the Company.

RESOLUTIONS UNDER AGENDA ITEM FOUR

4.1 Share capital increase of an amount to be determined by issuing new shares with a nominal value of €0.49 each, without an issue premium and of the same class and series as those currently outstanding, to be charged against voluntary reserves. Possibility of undersubscription. Commitment to purchase the rights of free allocation. Request for listing. Conferral of powers.

1. Free of charge share capital increase.- It is resolved to increase the share capital of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria S.A. ("BBVA", the "Company" or the "Bank") by an amount calculated by multiplying (a) the number of new shares to be issued as determined by the formula below, by (b) €0.49 (the nominal value of an ordinary BBVA share). The capital increase will be charged against voluntary reserves and achieved by issuing new shares of the same class and series and with the same rights as those currently outstanding, each with a nominal value of €0.49, represented by book-entries, for free allocation to the Bank's shareholders.

The possibility of incomplete subscription is expressly envisaged as required by article 311 of the Corporate Enterprises Act. If the issue is undersubscribed, the share capital will be increased by the amount actually subscribed.

The number of new shares to be issued will be the outcome of the following formula, rounding down to the next whole number:

NOS / NAR

Where:

NOS (number of old shares) is the total number of BBVA shares on the date of the resolution to implement the increase; and

NAR (number of allocation rights) is the number of free allocation rights necessary to be assigned one new share. This will be the outcome of the following formula, rounding up to the next whole number:

NAR = RP x NOS / RMV

Where:

RP (reference price) is the reference trading price of BBVA's shares for the purpose of the present capital increase. This will be the arithmetic mean of the average weighted price of BBVA shares on the Sistema de Interconexión Bursatil Español (Continuous Market) over five (5) trading days prior to the date of the resolution to implement the capital increase, rounded off to the nearest one-thousandth of a euro, and in the event of a half of one-thousandth of a euro, rounded up to the nearest one-thousandth. In no event can the RP be less than the nominal value of the Company's shares. Therefore, if the result of the calculation is less than €0.49, the RP will be €0.49.

RMV is the maximum reference market value of the capital increase, which cannot exceed €750,000,000.

2. Reference balance sheet.- According to article 303 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the balance sheet to be used as the basis of the transaction is that of 31st December 2011, duly audited by the Bank's auditor and approved by this General Meeting under its agenda item one.

3. Reserves used.- The capital increase will be wholly charged against voluntary reserves, which at 31st December 2011 stood at €5,853,645,756.80.

4. Right of free allocation.- All the Bank's shareholders will have the right to free allocation of the new shares. Every share will confer one free allocation right.

A certain number of free allocation rights (NDA) will be necessary to receive one new share. In order to ensure that all free allocation rights can be effectively exercised and the number of new shares will be a whole number, BBVA or a Group subsidiary will waive the necessary number of its free allocation rights for such purposes.

Holders of bonds convertible into BBVA shares will not have the right to free allocation of the new shares, without prejudice to modifications that might be made to the conversion ratio under the terms of each issue.

5. Assignment and transferability of free allocation rights.- The free allocation rights will be assigned to BBVA shareholders who are accredited as such in the accounting records of Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores S.A.U. (IBERCLEAR) at the end of the day of publication of the capital increase in the Official Gazette of the Companies Registry (BORME).

The free allocation rights of the new shares will be transferrable and may be traded on the market during the period determined, which will be a minimum of fifteen calendar days as of the publication of the capital increase in the Official Gazette of the Companies Registry (BORME).

At the end of the trading period for the free allocation rights, those new shares that cannot be assigned will be registered and held in deposit on behalf of whoever can claim ownership. After three years, any shares that are still pending allocation can be sold in accordance with article 117 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, acting on behalf and at the risk of the interested parties. The net amount of such sale shall be held available to the parties concerned in the manner established by the applicable legislation.

6. Commitment to purchase the free allocation rights.- BBVA will undertake to purchase the free allocation rights, in strict compliance with any applicable legal limitations. The purchase price of each free allocation right will be the outcome of the following formula (rounding off to the closest one-thousandth of a euro and, in the event of a half of a thousandth of a euro, by rounding up to the next whole thousandth):

RP / (NAR + 1)

The commitment to purchase free allocation rights at the purchase price described above will remain in force for the period determined, that will be within the trading period for such rights described in section 5 above.

For this purpose, it is resolved to authorise the Bank to acquire such free allocation rights up to a maximum of the total rights issued, always complying with any legal limits.

7. Representation and rights of the new shares.- The new shares will be represented by book entries, and the accounting records will be managed by Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A. (IBERCLEAR) and its participating entities. The new shares will confer on their holders the same rights as the rest of BBVA's shares.

8. Listing.- It is resolved to apply for listing of the new shares on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia stock exchanges via the Sistema de Interconexión Bursatil Español (Continuous Market). Additionally, it is resolved to take any actions or arrangements and to submit any appropriate documents needed or required for the listing of the new shares issued as a consequence of the capital increase on the foreign stock exchanges where BBVA's shares are traded at time of issue: currently London, Mexico and, via ADS's (American Depository Shares), on the stock exchanges of New York and Lima under the interchange agreement between both markets. BBVA expressly agrees to be bound by present and future rules of these markets, especially regarding contracts, listing and delisting for the official trading system.

For this purpose, authority is conferred on the Board of Directors and the Executive Committee, with express powers of substitution in both cases so that, once this resolution has been executed, they can make the corresponding applications, draw up and submit any appropriate documents in the terms they consider necessary and advisable, and take any measures that may be needed for such purpose.

For legal purposes, it is hereby expressly stated that should a request be made subsequently to delist BBVA's shares, that request for delisting will comply with all the formalities required by applicable legislation. It will also guarantee the interests of shareholders who oppose this or who do not vote for delisting, thereby satisfying the requirements of the Corporate Enterprises Act, of the Securities Exchange Act and of other similar or supplementary regulations.

9. Execution of the resolution and conferral of authority.- It is resolved to confer authority on the Board of Directors, pursuant to article 297.1.a) of the Corporate Enterprises Act and article 30.c) of the Company Bylaws, empowering it to delegate this authority on the Executive Committee with express powers to delegate it in turn; on the Chairman of the Board of Directors; on the Chief Operating Officer; or on any other Company director or proxy; to set the date on which the resolution to increase capital will be carried out, within one (1) year from its adoption, observing the provisions of this resolution; and to amend article 5 of the Company Bylaws in order to reflect the new total amount of share capital and the number of shares comprising it.

6.2. Approval of the conditions for the system of variable remuneration in BBVA shares for 2012 targeted at the Management Team, including executive directors and members of the senior management.

1.- To approve, pursuant to article 219 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the conditions for the system of variable remuneration in shares for the BBVA Group Management Team in 2012 (hereinafter the "System of Variable Remuneration in Shares for the Management Team" or the "System"), established by the General Meeting, 11th March 2011, under agenda item 7, and therefore the following:

1.1. The Management Team Incentive for 2012 (hereinafter the "2012 Incentive") will have the following characteristics

(a) Indicators:

The indicators for the 2012 Incentive will be:

- Performance of the Bank's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) from 1st January to 31st December 2012, benchmarked against the TSR performance of the following peer group of international banks over the same period: BNP Paribas, Société Genérale, Deutsche Bank, UniCredito Italiano, Intesa San Paolo, Banco Santander, Crédit Agricole, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group, The Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, Crédit Suisse, HSBC, Commerzbank, Citigroup, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

- The Group Economic Profit without one-offs.

- The Group Net Attributable Profit, calculated without one-offs.

To calculate the exact number of BBVA shares deliverable to each beneficiary, the number of units initially allocated will be divided into three parts, each linked to one indicator according to the weightings established for each. Each of these will be multiplied by coefficients of between 0 and 2 as a function of a scale defined each year.

For TSR, the applicable coefficient will always be zero when the Bank is ranked below the median of its peer group.

The price of the shares deliverable under the 2012 Incentive will be the opening price listed on the market on the day of delivery.

(b) Beneficiaries: The 2012 Incentive is targeted at the members of the BBVA Group Management Team who have such status on the date on which this resolution is approved, including executive directors and members of the Management Committee. For 2012, the initial estimate of the number of Incentive beneficiaries is 2,100. However, some may leave and others join the Incentive whilst it is in force.

(d) Settlement and payment of the 2012 Incentive: The 2012 Incentive will be settled during the first quarter of 2013, without prejudice to early settlement that may be implemented under conditions established in ramification of this resolution.

The beneficiaries may avail of the shares that may stem from the 2012 Incentive settlement in the following manner: (i) 40% of the shares received will be freely transferrable by the beneficiaries as of their delivery; (ii) 30% of the shares received will become transferrable once a year has elapsed as of the 2012 Incentive settlement date; and (iii) the remaining 30% will become transferrable once two years have elapsed as of the 2012 Incentive's settlement date. All this will be done under the terms and conditions established by the Board of Directors.

These rules on settlement and payment of the shares will not be applicable to beneficiaries included in section 1.2. below, as special features have been determined for these beneficiaries, mentioned in that section.

The Board of Directors will determine the date on which the 2012 Incentive shares will be delivered.

1.2. The 2012 Incentive Beneficiaries who engage in professional activities with a material impact on the risk profile and control functions, including executive directors and members of the BBVA Group Management Committee, will have a special system of settlement and payment, pursuant to the following conditions:

· If as a consequence of the settlement of the 2012 Incentive the shares deliverable do not account for at least 50 per cent of their Annual Variable Remuneration, the part of their variable remuneration in cash necessary to top the aforementioned amount will be delivered in shares in such a way that they receive at least 50 per cent of their Annual Variable Remuneration in shares and the remaining amount in cash. To such effects, the value of the shares will be deemed to be the average closing price of the BBA shares on the trading sessions between 15th December 2012 and 15th January 2013, both inclusive.

· The shares received in settlement of the Annual Variable Remuneration will be subject to specific deferral criteria, such that 60 per cent will be delivered during the first quarter of 2013, and the remaining 40 per cent deferred, so that one third will be payable each year over a three year period, ie, in the first quarter of 2014, 2015 and 2016. However, other grounds for early settlement may be established in the ramification of this resolution.

· This percentage of the deferred shares will increase up to 50 per cent in the case of the executive directors and members of the Management Committee.

· The shares corresponding to variable remuneration will also be unavailable for one year as of their delivery, under the terms established by the Board of Directors.

· The deferred shares will be subject to none of the grounds arising to limit or prevent delivery, as established by the Board of Directors..

The Board of Directors will also determine the date on which the 2012 Incentive shares will be delivered and also, where applicable, the specific criteria for deferral and the schedule for availability.

1.3. The maximum number of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. shares that may be deliverable to the Management Team as a result of the System for 2012 is 18.5 million ordinary shares, representing 0.38% of the current share capital of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. Of this number, a maximum of 600,000 ordinary shares (representing 0.01% of the share capital) may be earmarked for executive directors and 1.7 million ordinary shares (representing 0.03% of the share capital) may be earmarked for the other members of the Management Committee.

The Company may earmark the shares comprising its treasury stock to cover the shares indicated in the previous paragraph or may use another suitable financial system that the Company may determine.

2.- Confer authority on the Company Board of Directors with powers as broad as required by law and with express powers to delegate the authority to the Executive Committee, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Operating Officer or any other Company director or proxy, to ramify, formalise, implement and settle this resolution, as appropriate: adapting any agreements and signing any public or private documents that may be necessary or advisable for its full efficacy, with powers to correct, rectify, amend or supplement this resolution, and in particular, by way of example, the following powers:

(f) Draw up and publish any announcements that may be necessary or advisable.

(g) To draw up, sign, grant and, where applicable, certify any kind of document relating to the System of Variable Remuneration in Shares for the Management Team.

(h) To adapt the contents of the System to the circumstances or corporate operations that may occur during its term, relating both to BBVA and the peer banks in its benchmark group, such that the System continues to perform under the same terms and conditions.

(i) To adapt the content of the System to the requirements or observations that the competent supervisory authorities may make.

(j) And, in general, engage in any acts and sign any documents that may be necessary or advisable for the validity, efficacy, implementation, development, execution, settlement and success of the System of Variable Remuneration in Shares for the Management Team and the previously adopted resolutions.

("BBVA" or the "Bank"), to approve the following amendments to the Bank's Company Bylaws, which will be applicable as of 2012, inclusive, expressly stating that this does not imply any amendment to the rules for the remuneration of BBVA executive directors, which will continue to be regulated by article 50 bis of the Company Bylaws.

1.- Amend article 53 of the BBVA Company Bylaws,which will thus be drafted as follows:

Article 53. Allocation of profits or losses.

The General Meeting will resolve on the allocation of profit or losses from the year, in accordance with the balance sheet approved.

Once the perquisites established by law or in these Company Bylaws have been covered, dividends may be paid out to shareholders and charged to the year's profit or to unrestricted reserves, in proportion to the capital they may have paid up, provided the value of the total net assets is not, or as a result of such distribution would not be, less than the share capital.

2.- Include a new article 33 bis in the BBVA Company Bylaws, worded as follows:

Article 33 bis. Remuneration.

Directorships will be remunerated.

The remuneration of directors for their directorship will comprise a fixed annual allocation, which will be distributed by the Board of Directors in the manner that the Board so determines, in view of the conditions, duties and responsibilities of each director attributed by the Board and their membership of the various Committees. This may give rise to different amounts of remuneration for each director. The Board will also determine the timing and form in which this allocation is paid, which may include insurance and pensions schemes established at any time.

The amount of the annual allocation for the Board of Directors will be the amount that the General Meeting determines. This amount will remain in force until the General Meeting resolves its amendment, although the Board of Directors may reduce it in years when it deems fit.

Additional to this allocation, the directors' remuneration may also comprise the delivery of shares or share options or amounts benchmarked to the share performance. The application of this remuneration modality will require a General Meeting resolution, expressing, as forthcoming, the number of shares to be delivered, the strike price on the share options, the value of the shares to be benchmarked and how long this remuneration system will last.

Directors performing executive duties in the Company will be excluded from the remuneration system established in the foregoing paragraphs. Their remuneration will be regulated by article 50 bis of these Company Bylaws with the amount and conditions determined by the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to Royal Decree 1245/1995, 14th July, on the creation of banks, cross-border transactions and other matters relating to the legal rulings for financial institutions, the Bylaw amendments are conditional on obtaining authorisation from the government administration as mentioned in article 8.1 of said Royal Decree.

Likewise, the General Meeting in respect of the provisions of the new article 33 bis of the Company Bylaws, has resolved to establish the amount of the overall annual allocation that the Bank may pay to all its directors as a whole for their directorship at €6,000,000. This amount will remain in force until the General Meeting resolves to amend it. The figure expressly excludes the remuneration of the Bank's executive directors, which will be regulated by article 50 bis of the Company Bylaws.

The Company will ensure that these proposed resolutions and the documents that may be attached to them are disseminated amongst the other shareholders.

ARTICLE 6. SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHT TO INFORMATION PRIOR TO THE GENERAL MEETING

Until the seventh day before the date for which the General Meeting is scheduled, shareholders may ask the Board for information or clarification, or submit written questions regarding the matters on the agenda. Within the same period, shareholders may send in written request for any clarification they deem necessary regarding the publicly accessible information that the Company has filed with the CNMV (securities exchange authority) since the last General Meeting was held and regarding the auditor's report. Once this period has elapsed, shareholders are entitled to request information and clarification and ask questions during the General Meeting in the form established by article 18 of these Regulations.

The information requested pursuant to this article will be provided to the applicant in writing, within the period remaining before the date of the General Meeting, through the Shareholders Help Desk, except in the following cases:

(i) Should the request fail to comply with the deadline and scope determined by law and in these Regulations.

(ii) Should the Chairman deem that publishing the data requested by shareholders representing less than 25% of the share capital could damage corporate interests.

(iii) Should the applicant have proceeded in clear abuse of law.

(iv) Should provisions of law or of the Bylaws or court or government rulings so establish.

(v) When prior to the formulation, the information requested is clear and directly available to all shareholders on the Company website in the format of Frequently Asked Questions.

The right to information may be exercised through the Company website, which will disseminate the lines of communication open between the Company and its shareholders and explain how shareholders may enforce their right to information. It will indicate the postal and e-mail addresses at which shareholders may contact the Company for such purposes.

ARTICLE 8. REMOTE VOTING AND PROXIES

Pursuant to the Company Bylaws, shareholders may grant voting proxy or vote by post, e-mail or any other remote communication media, provided the voter's identity is duly guaranteed.

Shareholders voting remotely will be counted as in attendance for the purposes of constituting the quorum for the General Meeting.

Remote votes may be submitted using the form that the Company establishes for remote voting, which may be incorporated into the attendance card.

Shareholders wishing to vote by post may apply to the Company, once the notice of meeting has been published, through the Shareholder Helpdesk or any BBVA branch office, requesting it to issue a document for postal voting in their name. Once completed according to its instructions and within the deadlines it establishes, it must be sent to the Shareholder Helpdesk by registered post with receipt to be processed and counted. The information on postal voting will be disseminated on the Company website.

Postal votes must be received by the Shareholder Helpdesk at least 24 hours before the date on which the General Meeting is scheduled at first summons in order to leave enough time for them to be processed. Postal votes received after this deadline will not be counted.

Shareholders wishing to vote by e-mail will follow the procedures the Company establishes pursuant to law and any regulations published for such purpose, with the technical media available at any time. Shareholders will be provided with information on this over the Company website.

ARTICLE 9. PROXIES FOR THE GENERAL MEETING

Any shareholder entitled to attend may be represented by another person who need not necessarily be a shareholder.

Proxies must be conferred specifically for each General Meeting, using the proxy form established by the Company, which will be recorded on the attendance card. A single shareholder may not be represented at the General Meeting by more than one proxy.

Representation conferred to someone not eligible by law to act as proxy will be null and void, as will proxies conferred by holders in trust or in apparent agency.

Proxies must be conferred in writing or by remote communication media that comply with the requirements of law regarding remote voting. They must be specific for each General Meeting.

The representative with proxy may represent more than one shareholder. There is no limit on the number of shareholders that can be represented. When a representative has proxies from several shareholders, he/she may vote in different ways according to the instructions given by each shareholder.

Proxies will always be revocable. Should the shareholder represented attend the General Meeting in person, his/her proxy will be deemed null and void. Revocation of proxy may be done in writing or over electronic media in compliance with the formal requirements and system established for this purpose by the Company.

The number of shares represented will be calculated for the valid constitution of the General Meeting.

ARTICLE 10. PUBLIC CALL FOR PROXY

The public call for proxy must always be made pursuant to law.

The document recording the proxy must contain or be attached to: the agenda; the request for voting instructions; and indication of which way the proxy will vote in the event of no precise instructions being imparted.

When there is a public call for proxy, the representative may not vote with the shares represented on those agenda items in which he/she has a conflict of interest, unless the shareholder represented has imparted precise voting instructions for each one of such items and without prejudice to the possibility of appointing another representative for such an event.

There may be a conflict of interest on the grounds established in applicable legislation. The director will always be deemed to have a conflict of interest regarding the following resolutions:

- His/her appointment, re-election or ratification as director.

- His/her dismissal, termination or separation as director.

- Shareholder demand that the Company take legal action against him/her.

- Approval or ratification, where applicable, of Company transactions with the director in question, companies said director may control or represent or persons acting on his/her account.

When the directors file a public call for proxy, the voting rights corresponding to the shares represented will be exercised by the Chairman of the General Meeting, unless otherwise indicated in the document recording the proxy. Unless shareholders granting proxy expressly indicate otherwise, they will be deemed to impart precise instructions to vote in favour of the proposals filed by the Board of Directors in each General Meeting.

The proxy may also include those items that, although not included on the agenda in the notice of meeting, the law allows the General Meeting to deal with. It is considered that unless the shareholder expressly indicates otherwise, they will be deemed to impart precise instructions to vote against such proposals.

Public calls for proxy may also be made over electronic media in compliance with the prevailing regulations at any time.

ARTICLE 18. ORGANISATION OF GENERAL MEETINGS

The proposals of resolutions submitted by the Board of Directors will next be read out loud, verbatim or in summary, unless the General Meeting itself deems such reading unnecessary.

Should the General Meeting be held with the presence of a notary public, the corresponding proposals of resolutions will be delivered to him/her by the Secretary for their due recording in the minutes.

After any speeches that may be established by the Chairman of the General Meeting, the floor will be given to the shareholders to ask questions, request information and clarification regarding the matters on the agenda or verbally request any clarification they deem necessary regarding the publicly accessible information submitted by the Company to the CNMV (securities exchange authority) since the last General Meeting and regarding the auditor's report. They may also file proposals that the law allows them to submit to the General Meeting even if they do not appear on the agenda.

Shareholders wishing to speak will identify themselves with their full name and the number of shares that they own or represent. If they wish a verbatim record of what they say to be included in or attached to the General Meeting minutes, they must deliver it, in writing and signed, to the Secretary of the General Meeting or to the Notary Public, as applicable, prior to taking the floor.

The question and answer period will be opened in the manner established by the Chairman of the General Meeting who, in consideration of the circumstances, may determine the amount of time allotted to each speaker. The Chairman will try to ensure that the same time is allotted to each. However, the General Meeting Panel may:

i) Extend the time initially allotted to each shareholder to speak, when the nature of the shareholder's intervention leads them to deem this timely.

ii) Request speakers to clarify or expand on questions they have brought up that they do not deem to have been sufficiently explained, in order to clearly discern the content and subject matter of their proposals or statements.

iii) Call speakers to order when they over-run time, or when the smooth running of the General Meeting may be jeopardised. They may also withdraw their right to speak.

Once the shareholders question time has ended, the matters raised will be answered. The information or clarification requested will be given by the Chairman or, where applicable and at the Chairman's behest, by the President & COO, another Director or any other employee or third party expert on the matter. Should it not be possible to satisfy the shareholders' right at the time, the information will be facilitated in writing within seven days after the General Meeting is adjourned.

The directors will be obliged to provide the information requested in the terms described in the previous paragraphs, except in the cases established in article 6 of these Regulations.

This article notwithstanding, the Chairman, in performance of her/his duties, may order the General Meeting to be run in the manner deemed most suitable, amending the established protocol as demanded by any time or organisational constraints that may arise.

ARTICLE 19. VOTING THE RESOLUTION PROPOSALS

The proposed resolutions relating to the matters comprising the agenda will then be voted, following the indications of the General Meeting Panel.

Should any other matter be brought up during the General Meeting that does not legally have to be included on agenda and that must be voted, the voting will proceed in the same manner.

If, pursuant to law and these Regulations, shareholders have filed alternative proposals on the items included in the agenda, these will be put to vote after the proposal filed by the Board of Directors. Once a proposed resolution has been adopted, all the others relating to the same matter and incompatible with the resolution adopted will automatically be invalidated without need to put them to vote. The General Meeting Panel will report on this to the Meeting.

To facilitate the voting process, the Panel will ask any shareholders wishing their abstention, negative vote or opposition to the resolutions to be recorded, to declare this to the persons appointed by the Panel for such purpose, indicating the procedures they must follow.

Should the minutes be taken by a notary public, the declarations mentioned above will be made before that notary.

In principle and although other systems may be used to count votes, the following procedure will be followed:

When voting on proposed resolutions relating to agenda items, the negative subtraction method will be used. For such purposes, all the shares present and/or represented will be deemed to vote in favour of the proposal and all the votes corresponding to shares whose holders or proxies declare themselves to be voting against it or abstaining will be subtracted from their number.

When voting proposed resolutions relating to matters not included on the agenda, the positive subtraction method will be used. For such purposes, all the shares present or represented will be deemed to vote against the proposal and all the votes corresponding to shares whose holders or proxies declare themselves to be voting for it or abstaining will be subtracted from their number.

Financial intermediaries whom the Company deems to be duly accredited as such, who legitimately appear as shareholders but act on the account of various clients, may issue their votes fractioned in accordance with their clients' instructions and may vote in different ways according to the instructions given by each client.

ARTICLE 23. PUBLICIZING THE RESOLUTIONS

Resolutions that may be filed at the Companies Registry will be registered there, and the applicable legal provisions on publicising corporate resolutions will be met. However, on the same day as the General Meeting is held or the working day immediately after, the Company will also submit the resolutions adopted to the CNMV (securities exchange authority) by filing the relevant event report.
