INSIDE INFORMATION

Following the inside information published on November 15, 2021 and March 31, 2022, with registration numbers at the Spanish Exchange Commission (CNMV) 1165, 1169 and 1381, respectively, in relation with the voluntary takeover bid (the "Voluntary Takeover Bid") for the entire share capital of Türkiye Garanti Bankası A. . ("Garanti BBVA" or the "Company") not already owned by BBVA, the Board of Directors of BBVA decided to increase the Voluntary Takeover Bid price offered in cash for each share ([1]) of the Company from the initially announced price (12.20 Turkish Lira) to 15.00 Turkish Lira. The maximum aggregate amount of consideration payable by BBVA is 31,595 million Turkish Lira (equivalent to approximately 1,985 million Euros ([2]) ) assuming all Garanti BBVA's shareholders sell their shares.

As a result of the increase in the Voluntary Takeover Bid price and in accordance with the Turkish takeover bid regulations (Communiqué on Takeover Bids (Pay Alım Teklifi Tebli i) no. II-26.1), the acceptance period of the Voluntary Takeover Bid is extended for a period of 2 weeks (the last day of the acceptance period of the Voluntary Takeover Bid will be May 18, 2022 ([3]) ).

In accordance with Turkish takeover bid regulations, the Voluntary Takeover Bid price cannot be amended during the two week period extension.

The financial impacts for BBVA of the Voluntary Takeover Bid will depend on the percentage of Garanti BBVA shareholders that decide to accept the bid and sell their shares. BBVA estimates a maximum impact of approximately minus 34 basis points in the Common Equity Tier 1 (fully loaded) ratio ([4]) , assuming all Garanti BBVA shareholders accept the offer.
