2020 
Banco de Sabadell, S.A. ("Banco Sabadell") has today launched invitations (i) to 
holders of certain existing Euro denominated preferred securities, and (ii) to

to offer to exchange any and all of such Existing Securities for new Euro

capital structure and to further strengthen the Group's balance sheet. 
Any decisions by the Offeror as to whether it will exercise calls in respect of 
any Existing Securities that are not exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offers 
will be taken on an economic basis. 
Any Existing Securities acquired by the Offeror pursuant to the Exchange Offers 
will be cancelled by the Issuer and will not be reissued or resold. 
Banco Sabadell may also decide to offer and issue additional New Securities for 
cash at any time throughout the Exchange Period or immediately thereafter, 
subject to market conditions. 
The Exchange Offers will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Central European time) on 16 April 
2010, unless extended, re-opened or terminated as provided in the Exchange Offer 
Memorandum dated 8 April 2010. 
The Bank of Spain has authorised Banco de Sabadell, S.A. to conduct the Exchange 
Offers by virtue of a letter dated 31 March 2010.

Holders of Existing Securities may only be invited to offer to exchange their 
Existing Securities for New Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offers and the 
New Securities may only be offered for sale or otherwise in or into Switzerland 
in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in force in Switzerland.

laws and regulations of Switzerland, only the Exchange Offer Memorandum 
(including the Base Prospectus, the Registration Document (which is incorporated 
by reference in the Base Prospectus), each with any supplements thereto, and the 
audited consolidated accounts of the Issuer for the financial year ended 31 
December 2009 with the independent auditor's report, and the Final Terms) may be

Portugal 
No placement of New Securities, acquisition of Existing Securities and exchange 
offer of Existing Securities for New Securities may be made in Portugal except 
in circumstances that will result in compliance with the rules concerning 
placement of New Securities, the acquisition of Existing Securities and the 
marketing of any such transactions, and with the securities laws and regulations 
applicable in Portugal generally. None of this announcement, the Exchange Offer 
Memorandum, the Base Prospectus or the Final Terms have been nor will be subject 
to the approval of the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (the "CMVM"). The

Terms or any transactions contemplated thereby have not been, nor will be, 
subject to the approval of, registration with or notification to the Portuguese 
Securities Market Commission (Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários, the

exchange offers in Portugal, the exchange of the Existing Securities for the New

investment-gathering procedure in Portugal, or to individuals or entities 
resident in Portugal or having a permanent establishment located in Portuguese 
territory, or (ii) executed in Portugal or with such individuals or entities. 
Accordingly, the placement of New Securities, the acquisition of Existing 
Securities and the exchange of the Existing Securities for the New Securities 
may not be carried out in circumstances that would qualify as a public offering 
in relation to the New Securities and/or the Existing Securities, and therefore 
the same cannot be addressed to the public in Portugal and all offers, sales, 
exchanges and distributions contemplated by the Exchange Offer Memorandum or in 
the Base Prospectus or the Final Terms have been and will only be made in 
Portugal in circumstances that, pursuant to the Portuguese Securities Code 
(Código dos Valores Mobiliários, the "CVM"), qualify as a private offering of 
securities (oferta particular). Thus, the placement of New Securities, the 
acquisition of Existing Securities and the exchange of the Existing Securities 
for the New Securities has not been and may not be addressed to 100 or more 
addressees who are not Portuguese Qualified Investors and no offer has been or 
may be preceded or followed by promotion or solicitation to unidentified 
investors, public advertisement or publication of any promotional material in 
circumstances which would qualify such transactions as a public offer of 
securities. 
In particular, the Exchange Offer Memorandum, the Base Prospectus, the Final 
Terms, the placement of New Securities, the acquisition of Existing Securities 
and the marketing of any such transactions are only intended for Portuguese 
Qualified Investors. 
"Portuguese Qualified Investors" within the meaning of Article 30 of the CVM

respective management companies, all other financial companies, securitisation 
companies, venture capital companies, venture capital funds and their respective 
management companies, financial institutions incorporated in a state that is not 
a member state of the EU that carry out activities similar to those previously 
mentioned, entities trading in financial instruments related to commodities and 
regional and national governments, central banks and public bodies that manage 
debt, supranational or international institutions, namely the European Central 
Bank, the European Investment Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the 
World Bank, as well as entities whose corporate purpose is solely to invest in 
securities and any legal entity which has two or more of (1) an average of at 
least 250 employees during the last financial year; (2) a total balance sheet of 
more than EUR43,000,000 and (3) an annual net turnover of more than EUR50,000,000, 
all as shown in its last available individual or consolidated accounts. It may 
also include high net worth individuals or certain entities enjoying a wide 
experience in trading in securities (namely issuers of securities) who request 
to be classified as such, provided that they also comply with certain 
requirements and subsequently are registered with the CMVM - it will only be 
possible to apply for such registration in case CMVM publishes the applicable 
regulation before the end of the subscription period contemplated by the 
Exchange Offer Memorandum, the Base Prospectus and the Final Terms.
