CAIXABANK, S.A.

Perpetual Non-Cumulative Contingent Convertible Additional
Tier 1 Preferred Securities
Issue Price: 100 per cent.
The 750,000,000 Perpetual Non-Cumulative Contingent Convertible Additional Tier 1 Preferred Securities
of 200,000 liquidation preference each (the "Preferred Securities") are being issued by CaixaBank, S.A. (the
"Bank", the "Issuer" or "CaixaBank") on 14 September 2021 (the "Closing Date"). The Bank and its
consolidated subsidiaries are referred to herein as the "CaixaBank Group" or the "Group".
The Preferred Securities will accrue non-cumulative cash distributions ("Distributions") as follows: (i) in respect
of the period from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) 14 March 2029 (the "First Reset Date"),
at the rate of 3.625 per cent. per annum, and (ii) in respect of each period from (and including) the First Reset
Date and every fifth anniversary thereof (each a "Reset Date") to (but excluding) the next succeeding Reset Date
(each such period, a "Reset Period"), at the rate per annum, calculated on an annual basis and then converted to
a quarterly rate in accordance with market convention, equal to the aggregate of 3.857 per cent. per annum (the
"Initial Margin") and the 5-year Mid-Swap Rate (as defined in the terms and conditions of the Preferred
Securities (the "Conditions")) for the relevant Reset Period. Subject as provided in the Conditions, such
Distributions will be payable quarterly in arrear on 14 March, 14 June, 14 September and 14 December, in each
year (each a "Distribution Payment Date").
The Bank may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel the payment of any Distribution in whole or in
part at any time as further provided in Condition 4.3. Without prejudice to the right of the Bank to cancel the
payments of any Distribution: (a) payments of Distributions in any financial year of the Bank shall be made only
to the extent the Bank has sufficient Distributable Items (as defined in the Conditions). To the extent that the Bank
has insufficient Distributable Items to make Distributions on the Preferred Securities, the Bank will only make
partial or, as the case may be, no payment of the relevant Distribution on the Preferred Securities; (b) if the
Competent Authority (as defined in the Conditions) requires the Bank to cancel the relevant Distribution in whole
or in part, the Bank will only make partial or, as the case may be, no payment of the relevant Distribution on the
Preferred Securities; (c) the Bank may make partial or, as the case may be, no payment of the relevant Distribution
on the Preferred Securities if and to the extent that such payment would cause the Maximum Distributable Amount
to be exceeded or otherwise would cause a breach of any regulatory restriction or prohibition on payments on
Additional Tier 1 Capital (as defined in the Conditions) pursuant to Applicable Banking Regulations (as defined
in the Conditions); and (d) if the Trigger Event (as defined in the Conditions) occurs at any time on or after the
Closing Date (as defined in the Conditions), the Bank will not make any further Distribution on the Preferred
Securities and any accrued and unpaid Distributions up to a Trigger Event shall be automatically cancelled.
The Preferred Securities are perpetual. All, and not some only, of the Preferred Securities may be redeemed at the
option of the Bank at any time in the period commencing on (and including) 14 September 2028 and ending on
(and including) the First Reset Date and on any Distribution Payment Date thereafter, at the liquidation preference
of 200,000 per Preferred Security plus any accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then current Distribution
Period (as defined in the Conditions) to (but excluding) the date fixed for redemption (the "Redemption Price").
The Preferred Securities are also redeemable on or after the Closing Date at the option of the Bank in whole but
not in part, at any time, at the Redemption Price if there is a Capital Event or a Tax Event (each as defined in the
Conditions). Subject, in each case, to the prior consent of the Competent Authority and otherwise in accordance
with the Applicable Banking Regulations (as defined in the Conditions) then in force.

Subject to the prior consent of the Competent Authority and otherwise in accordance with the Applicable Banking
Regulations then in force, if a Capital Event or Tax Event has occurred and is continuing, the Bank may substitute
all (but not some only) of the Preferred Securities or vary the terms of all (but not some only) of the Preferred
Securities, without the consent or approval of the holders of the Preferred Securities ("Holders"), so that they are
substituted for, or varied to, become or remain Qualifying Preferred Securities (as defined in the Conditions).
In the event of the occurrence of a Trigger Event (as defined in the Conditions) (i.e. if at any time the CET1
ratio (as defined in the Conditions) falls below 5.125 per cent.), the Preferred Securities are mandatorily
and irrevocably convertible into newly issued ordinary shares in the capital of the Bank ("Ordinary
Shares") at the Conversion Price (as defined in the Conditions).
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or winding-up of the Bank, Holders will be entitled
to receive (subject to the limitations described in the Conditions), in respect of each Preferred Security,
their respective liquidation preference of 200,000 plus any accrued and unpaid Distributions for the then
current Distribution Period to the date of payment of the Liquidation Distribution (as defined in the
Conditions).

to revision, suspension or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organisation.
This document (together with any information incorporated by reference) constitutes a listing prospectus (the
"Prospectus") for the purposes of Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the
Council of the EU (as amended, the "Prospectus Regulation") and has been prepared in accordance with, and
including the information required by annexes 2, 15, 17 (section 2.2.2.) and 20 of the Commission Delegated
Regulation (EU) 2019/980 of 14 March 2019 (the "Delegated Regulation"). This Prospectus has been approved
by the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) (the
"CNMV") as competent authority under the Prospectus Regulation. The CNMV only approves this Prospectus as
meeting the standards of completeness, comprehensibility and consistency imposed by the Prospectus Regulation.
Approval by the CNMV should not be considered as an endorsement of the Bank or of the quality of the Preferred
Securities. Investors should make their own assessment as to the suitability of investing in the Preferred Securities.
Application has been made for the Preferred Securities to be admitted to trading on the Spanish AIAF Fixed
Income Securities Market ("AIAF"). AIAF is a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU of the
European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on markets in financial instruments and amending
Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive 2011/61/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"). The Preferred Securities may also
be admitted to trading on any other secondary market as may be agreed by the Issuer.
Amounts payable under the Preferred Securities from and including the First Reset Date are calculated by
reference to the 5-year Mid-Swap Rate which appears on the ICESWAP2 screen, which is provided by ICE
Benchmark Administration Limited or by reference to EURIBOR 6-month (as defined in the Conditions) which
appears on the EURIBOR01 screen, which is provided by the European Money Markets Institute. As at the date
of this Prospectus ICE Benchmark Administration Limited is not included in ESMA's register of administrators
and benchmarks under Article 36 of the Regulation (EU) No 2016/1011 (the "Benchmark Regulation"), the
transitional provisions in Article 51 of the Benchmark Regulation apply such that ICE Benchmark Administration
Limited is not currently required to obtain recognition, endorsement or equivalence. As at the date of this
Prospectus, the European Money Markets Institute appears on the register of administrators and benchmarks
established and maintained by ESMA pursuant to Article 36 of the Benchmark Regulation.
The Preferred Securities are complex financial instruments with high risk and are not a suitable or
appropriate investment for all investors.
The Preferred Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not
be offered, sold or otherwise made available in the European Economic Area ("EEA") to any retail investor
as defined in the rules set out in MiFID II or in the United Kingdom ("UK") to any retail investor as defined
in Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of European Union (Withdrawal)
Act of 2018 ("EUWA"). Prospective investors are referred to the section headed "Prohibition on marketing
and sales to retail investors" on pages 6 and 7 of this Prospectus for further information.

Investors in Hong Kong should not purchase the Preferred Securities in the primary or secondary markets
unless they are professional investors (as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws
of Hong Kong) and its subsidiary legislation, "Professional Investors") only and understand the risks
involved. The Preferred Securities are generally not suitable for retail investors.
Prospective purchasers of the Preferred Securities should ensure that they understand the nature of the
Preferred Securities and the extent of their exposure to risks and that they consider the suitability of the
Preferred Securities as an investment in the light of their own circumstances and financial condition.
An investment in the Preferred Securities involves certain risks. There are significant risks inherent in the
holding of the Preferred Securities, including the risks in relation to their subordination, the circumstances
in which the Preferred Securities may be written down or converted to ordinary shares and the implications
on Holders (such as a substantial loss), the circumstances in which Holders may suffer loss as a result of
holding the Preferred Securities are difficult to predict and the quantum of any loss incurred by investors
in the Preferred Securities in such circumstances is also highly uncertain. For a discussion of these risks
see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 18.

investment products (PRIIPs) key information document (KID) has been prepared as the Preferred
Securities are not available to retail investors in the EEA.

In addition to the above, pursuant to the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") Conduct of Business
Sourcebook ("COBS") the Preferred Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made
available and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to retail clients (as defined in

Words and expressions defined in the Conditions (see "Conditions of the Preferred Securities") shall have the
same meanings when used elsewhere in this Prospectus unless otherwise specified.
Potential investors are advised to exercise caution in relation to any offering of the Preferred Securities. If a
potential investor is in any doubt about any of the contents of this Prospectus, it should obtain independent
professional advice. Prior to making an investment decision, potential investors should consider carefully, in light
of their own financial circumstances and investment objectives, all the information contained in this Prospectus
or incorporated by reference.
The Preferred Securities are complex financial instruments with high risk and are not a suitable or appropriate
investment for all investors. Each potential investor in the Preferred Securities must determine the suitability of
that investment in light of its own circumstances. In particular, each potential investor may wish to consider, either
on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether it:
(i)

conditions, the resulting effects on the value of the Preferred Securities and the impact this investment will have
on the potential investor's overall portfolio.
Prohibition on marketing and sales to retail investors
1.
The Preferred Securities are complex financial instruments with high risk and are not a suitable or
appropriate investment for all investors (see also "Risk FactorsRisks related to the Preferred
Securities"), especially retail investors. In some jurisdictions, regulatory authorities have adopted or
published laws, regulations or guidance with respect to the offer or sale of securities such as the Preferred
Securities. Potential investors in the Preferred Securities should inform themselves of, and comply with,
any applicable laws, regulations or regulatory guidance with respect to any resale of the Preferred
Securities (or any beneficial interests therein).

2.

(a)
In the UK, the FCA COBS requires, in summary, that the Preferred Securities should not be
offered or sold to retail clients (as defined in COBS 3.4 and each a "retail client") in the UK.
(b)
In addition, in October 2018, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (the "HKMA") issued
guidance on enhanced investor protection measures on the sale and distribution of debt
instruments with loss-absorption features and related products (the "HKMA Circular"). Under
the HKMA Circular, debt instruments with loss absorption features, being subject to the risk of
being written-down or converted to ordinary shares, and investment products that invest mainly
in, or whose returns are closely linked to the performance of such instruments (together, "Loss
Absorption Products"), are to be targeted in Hong Kong at Professional Investors only and are
generally not suitable for retail investors in either the primary or secondary markets.
Investors in Hong Kong should not purchase the Preferred Securities in the primary or secondary
markets unless they are Professional Investors only and understand the risks involved. The
Preferred Securities are generally not suitable for retail investors.
(c)
Certain of the Joint Lead Managers are required to comply with COBS and/or the HKMA
Circular.
(d)
By purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any Preferred Securities (or a
beneficial interest in such Preferred Securities) from the Issuer and/or the Joint Lead Managers,
each prospective investor represents, warrants, agrees with and undertakes to the Issuer and
each of the Joint Lead Managers that:
(i)
it is not a retail client in the UK; and
(ii)
it will not sell or offer the Preferred Securities (or any beneficial interest therein) to
retail clients in the UK or to retail investors in Hong Kong; or communicate (including
the distribution of the Prospectus) or approve an invitation or inducement to participate
in, acquire or underwrite the Preferred Securities (or any beneficial interests therein)
where that invitation or inducement is addressed to or disseminated in such a way that
it is likely to be received by a retail client or a client in Hong Kong who is not a
Professional Investor.
(e)
In selling or offering the Preferred Securities or making or approving communications relating
to the Preferred Securities, it may not rely on the limited exemptions set out in COBS.
3.
The obligations in paragraph 2. above are in addition to the need to comply at all times with all other
applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the EEA or the UK)
relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of the Preferred Securities (or any beneficial
interests therein), whether or not specifically mentioned in the Prospectus, including (without limitation)
any requirements under MiFID II or the UK FCA Handbook as to determining the appropriateness and/or
suitability of an investment in the Preferred Securities (or any beneficial interests therein) for investors
in any relevant jurisdiction.
4.
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or
accepting an offer to purchase, any Preferred Securities (or any beneficial interests therein) from the
Issuer and/or the Joint Lead Managers the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements and
undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.
Offers of the Preferred Securities in Spain shall only be directed specifically at or made to professional investors
(clientes profesionales) as defined in Article 205 of the consolidated text of the Spanish Securities Market Act
approved by the Royal Legislative Decree 4/2015, of 23 October (the "Securities Market Act") or eligible
counterparties (contrapartes elegibles) as defined in Articles 203 and 207 of the Securities Market Act.
PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors The Preferred Securities are not intended to
be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and shall not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any
retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a
retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(I) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive
(EU) 2016/97 (the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional

- 6 -

client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(I) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document (KID)
required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 on key information documents for packaged and retail and insurance-
based investment products (the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Preferred Securities or otherwise
making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Preferred Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under
the PRIIPs Regulation.
UK PRIIPs Regulation / Prohibition of sales to UK retail investors The Preferred Securities are not intended
to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and shall not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to
any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a
retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2017/565 as it forms part of UK domestic law
by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 (the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance
Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (8) of
Article 2(l) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA ("UK
MiFIR"). Consequently, no key information document (KID) required by the PRIIPs regulation as it forms part
of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Preferred
Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore
offering or selling the Preferred Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK
may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
MIFID II product governance / Professional investors and ECPs only target market Solely for the purposes
of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Preferred
Securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Preferred Securities is eligible counterparties
and professional clients only, each as defined in MiFID II; and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Preferred
Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. The target market assessment
indicates that the Preferred Securities are incompatible with the knowledge, experience, needs, characteristic and
objectives of retail clients and accordingly the Preferred Securities shall not be offered or sold to any retail clients.
Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Preferred Securities (a "distributor") should take
into consideration the manufacturers' target market assessment. However, a distributor subject to MiFID II is
responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Preferred Securities (by either
adopting or refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution
channels.
UK MiFIR product governance/Professional investors and eligible counterparties only target market--
Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect
of the Preferred Securities has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Preferred Securities is eligible
counterparties, as defined in COBS, and professional clients only, as defined in the UK MiFIR; and (ii) all
channels for distribution of the Preferred Securities to eligible counterparties and professional clients are
appropriate. The target market assessment indicates that the Preferred Securities are incompatible with the
knowledge, experience, needs, characteristic and objectives of retail clients and accordingly the Preferred
Securities shall not be offered or sold to any retail clients. Any person subsequently offering, selling or
recommending the Preferred Securities (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturers' target
market assessment. However, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product
Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own
target market assessment in respect of the Preferred Securities (by either adopting or refining the manufacturers'
target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
Notification under Section 309B(1)(c) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289) of Singapore, as
modified or amended from time to time (the "SFA") - In connection with Section 309B of the SFA and the
Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore (the "CMP Regulations 2018"),
the Issuer has determined the classification of the Preferred Securities as prescribed capital markets products (as
defined in the CMP Regulations 2018) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-
N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on

forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties
and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of CaixaBank, or industry results,
to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These forward-
looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding CaixaBank's present and future business
strategies and the environment in which CaixaBank expects to operate in the future, which may not be fulfilled.
Due to such uncertainties and risks, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements.
INFORMATION ON THE MERGER WITH BANKIA
The merger of Bankia, S.A. ("Bankia") (absorbed company) into CaixaBank (absorbing company) became
effective on 26 March 2021 (the "Merger"). Please see "Description of the Issuer History and Developments of
the Issuer Key recent events Merger with Bankia" for more information.
Although descriptions contained in this Prospectus are those of CaixaBank and its Group after the Merger,
quantitative information for the 2020, 2019 and 2018 financial years in this Prospectus (including historical
consolidated financial information and information on the regulatory own funds and eligible liabilities position
for such periods) refers to CaixaBank and/or Bankia (and their respective groups) as separate entities and/or
groups and, therefore, that information may not reflect what the business, financial condition, results of operations,
cash flows or regulatory own funds and eligible liabilities position and requirements of the Group resulting from
the Merger would have been had the Merger been effective during such periods.
The financial information on the Group resulting from the Merger is limited to the consolidated financial
statements for the six-month period ended on 30 June 2021. In addition, no information on the own funds and
eligible liabilities requirement (MREL requirement) for the Group resulting from the Merger is available.
Consequently, it may be difficult to evaluate the current business of CaixaBank and its Group and predict its future
performance on the basis of the information contained in this Prospectus.
