1.   In accordance with the prior announcement of the Offer and as a consequence of the interim dividend against the 2024 financial year results in the amount of €0.08 per share paid by Banco Sabadell to its shareholders today, the consideration for the Offer must be adjusted.

Therefore, after applying the adjustment in the terms set forth in the prior announcement, the consideration offered by BBVA to the shareholders of Banco Sabadell under the Offer is adjusted to one (1) newly issued ordinary share of BBVA for each five point zero one nine six (5.0196) ordinary shares of Banco Sabadell.

As a consequence of this dividend payment by BBVA, and in accordance with the prior announcement, the consideration for the Offer will again need to be adjusted.

Accordingly, as of October 10, 2024 (the payment date of BBVA's interim dividend), the consideration offered by BBVA to the shareholders of Banco Sabadell under the Offer will be adjusted to one (1) newly issued ordinary share of BBVA and €0.29 in cash for every five point zero one nine six (5.0196) ordinary shares of Banco Sabadell.

These adjustments, as outlined in the prior announcement of May 9, 2024, are intended to maintain the economic terms of the offer equivalent, following the dividend payments made by both entities.
