THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT AN OFFER OF SECURITIES FOR SALE IN THE UNITED STATES. 
SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES ABSENT REGISTRATION 
OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. 
Offer and jurisdiction restrictions 
This announcement does not, and the Exchange Offer Memorandum did not constitute 
an offer to sell or buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell or buy the 
Existing Securities and/or New Securities, as applicable, and offers of Existing 
Securities for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offers were not accepted from 
holders of Existing Securities in any circumstances in which such offer or 
solicitation was unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky 
or other laws required an exchange offer to be made by a licensed broker or 
dealer and either Dealer Manager or any of their respective affiliates was such 
a licensed broker or dealer in such jurisdictions, such Exchange Offer was 
deemed to be made by such Dealer Manager or affiliate (as the case may be) on 
behalf of BBVA International Preferred in such jurisdiction. 
United States 
The Exchange Offers were not made, directly or indirectly in or into, or by use 
of the mail of, or by any means or instrumentality of interstate or foreign 
commerce of or of any facilities of a national securities exchange of, the 
United States or to, for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons. This included, 
but was not limited to, facsimile transmission, electronic mail, telex, 
telephone, the internet and other forms of electronic communication. 
Accordingly, copies of this announcement, the Exchange Offer Memorandum and any 
other documents or materials relating to the Exchange Offers have not been, are 
not being, and must not be, directly or indirectly mailed or otherwise 
transmitted, distributed or forwarded (including, without limitation, by 
custodians, nominees or trustees) in or into the United States or to U.S. 
persons and the Existing Securities have not been offered for exchange in 
the Exchange Offers by any such use, means, instrumentality or facilities or 
from within the United States or by U.S. persons. Any purported offer of 
Existing Securities for exchange resulting directly or indirectly from a 
violation of these restrictions was invalid and any purported offer of Existing 
Securities for exchange made by a U.S. person, a person located in the United 
States or any agent, fiduciary or other intermediary acting on a 
non-discretionary basis for a principal giving instructions from within the 
United States or for a U.S. person was invalid and was not accepted. 
This announcement is not and the Exchange Offer Memorandum was not, an offer of 
securities for sale in the United States or to U.S. persons. Securities may not 
be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under, or an 
exemption from the registration requirements of, the U.S. Securities Act of 
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The New Securities and the guarantees 
thereof have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or 
the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States, and 
may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, in the United 
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons. The purpose of 
this announcement is, and the purpose of the Exchange Offer Memorandum was, 
limited to the Exchange Offers and this announcement may not be, and the 
Exchange Offer Memorandum was not, sent or given to a person in the United 
States or otherwise to any person other than in an offshore transaction in 
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. 
Each holder of Existing Securities participating in an Exchange Offer was 
required to represent that it was not located in the United States and was not 
participating in that Exchange Offer from the United States, that it 
was participating in the Exchange Offer in accordance with Regulation S under 
the Securities Act and that it was not a U.S. person or it was acting on a 
non-discretionary basis for a principal located outside the United States that 
is not giving an order to participate in the Exchange Offers from the United 
States and was not a U.S. person. For the purposes of this and the above two 
paragraphs, "United States" means United States of America, its territories and 
possessions, any state of the United States of America and the District of 
Columbia.
