The $1,200,000,000 fixed rate senior preferred notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes") will bear interest at 0.875% per year, payable on
September 18 and March 18 of each year, beginning on March 18, 2021, up to, and including, September 18, 2023 (the "2023 Notes Stated

"Notes") will bear interest at 1.125% per year, payable on September 18 and March 18 of each year, beginning on March 18, 2021, up to, and
including, September 18, 2025 (the "2025 Notes Stated Maturity Date" and, each of the 2023 Notes Stated Maturity Date and the 2025
Notes Stated Maturity Date, a "Stated Maturity Date"). The Notes will mature at 100% of their principal amount on their respective Stated
Maturity Date. The 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes constitute separate series of securities issued under the Indenture (as defined herein).
The Notes of each series shall be direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria,
S.A. (the "Issuer") and, upon the insolvency (concurso de acreedores) of the Issuer, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by
Spanish Royal Legislative Decree 1/2020 of May 5, approving the consolidated text of the Insolvency Law (Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2020,
de 5 de mayo, por el que se aprueba el texto refundido de la Ley Concursal), as amended, replaced or supplemented from time to time (the
"Insolvency Law") and other applicable laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in Spain (including, without
limitation, Additional Provision 14.2 of Law 11/2015 (as defined in the accompanying prospectus)), but subject to any other ranking that may
apply as a result of any mandatory provision of law (or otherwise), the payment obligations of the Issuer under the Notes with respect to
claims for principal (which claims will constitute ordinary claims (as defined herein)) will rank: (i) junior to any (a) privileged claims
(créditos privilegiados) (which shall include, among other claims, any claims in respect of deposits for the purposes of Additional Provision
14.1 of Law 11/2015), and (b) claims against the insolvency estate (créditos contra la masa); (ii) pari passu without any preference or priority
among themselves and with all other Senior Preferred Obligations (as defined herein); and (iii) senior to (a) any Senior Non-Preferred
Obligations (as defined herein), and (b) all subordinated obligations of, or claims against, the Issuer (créditos subordinados), present and
future, such that any claim for principal in respect of the Notes will be satisfied, as appropriate, only to the extent that all claims ranking
senior to it have first been satisfied in full, and then pro rata with any claims ranking pari passu with it, in each case as provided herein. The
Notes of each series are subject to, can be varied, or can change form (including changes to the ranking of the Notes described above), as
deemed necessary by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority (as defined herein), to give effect to the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in
Power (as defined herein) by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved

NOTICE TO INVESTORS
Certain important agreements and acknowledgments of investors, including holders and beneficial
owners of the Notes.
Spanish Bail-in Power
Notwithstanding any other term of the Notes, the Indenture or any other agreements, arrangements, or
understandings between the Issuer and any holder of the Notes, by its acquisition of any Notes, each holder
(including each holder of a beneficial interest in the Notes) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be
bound by: (i) the exercise and effects of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution
Authority, which may be imposed with or without any prior notice with respect to the Notes of any series, and
may include and result in any of the following, or some combination thereof: (a) the reduction or cancellation of
all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due (as defined herein) on such Notes; (b) the conversion of all, or a portion, of
the Amounts Due on such Notes into shares, other securities or other obligations of the Issuer or another person
(and the issue to or conferral on the holder of any such shares, securities or obligations), including by means of
an amendment, modification or variation of the terms of such Notes; (c) the cancellation of such Notes; (d) the
amendment or alteration of the maturity of such Notes or amendment of the amount of interest payable on such
Notes, or the date on which the interest becomes payable, including by suspending payment for a temporary
period; and (ii) the variation of the terms of the Notes of any series, or the rights of the holders thereunder or
under the Indenture, as deemed necessary by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority, to give effect to the
exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority. See "Certain Terms of the
Notes--Agreement with Respect to the Exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power".
Substitution and Modification
If an Eligible Liabilities Event (as defined herein) occurs and is continuing with respect to any series of
Notes, including as a result of any change in law or regulation or the application or official interpretation thereof,
the Issuer may, under certain circumstances and without the consent or approval of the holders or beneficial
owners of such Notes, substitute all (but not less than all) of such Notes or modify the terms of all (but not less
than all) of such Notes, so that such Notes are substituted by, or their terms are modified to, become again, or
remain, Qualifying Securities (as defined herein). See "Certain Terms of the Notes--Substitution and
Modification".
By its acquisition of any Note or any beneficial interest therein, each holder and beneficial owner of Notes,
(i) acknowledges, accepts, consents to and agrees to be bound by the substitution of or modification to the terms
of the Notes as set forth above and to grant to the Issuer and the Trustee full power and authority to take any
action and/or to execute and deliver any document in the name and/or on behalf of such holder or beneficial
owner, as the case may be, which is necessary or convenient to complete the substitution of or modification to
the terms of the Notes, as applicable; and (ii) to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, waives any and
all claims, in law and/or in equity, against the Trustee and/or the Issuer for, agrees not to initiate a suit against the
Trustee and/or the Issuer in respect of, and agrees that neither the Trustee nor the Issuer shall be liable for, any
action that the Trustee or the Issuer takes, or abstains from taking, in either case in connection with the
substitution of or modification to the terms of the Notes upon the occurrence of an Eligible Liabilities Event.
Selling Restrictions
The Notes are complex financial instruments and are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all
investors. In particular, the Notes shall not be sold to retail investors in any jurisdiction, including the
United States.
In the United States, the Notes are intended to be sold only to institutional 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 Notes to retail investors. By purchasing, or making or
accepting an offer to purchase, any Notes from the Issuer and/or the underwriters, each prospective investor
represents, warrants, agrees with and undertakes to the Issuer and each Joint Bookrunner that it has and will at all
times comply with all applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside or outside the
European Economic Area (the "EEA")) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or sale of the Notes
(including without limitation MiFID II (as defined below) as implemented in each Member State of the EEA and
S-2


the United Kingdom) and any other applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating to determining
the appropriateness and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes by investors in any relevant jurisdiction.
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or accepting an
offer to purchase, any Notes from the Issuer and/or the underwriters, the foregoing representations, warranties,
agreements and undertakings will be given by and be binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.
MiFID II product governance/Professional investors and ECPs as the only target market/negative target
market--Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment
in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties
and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the
Council of May 15, 2014 on Markets in Financial Instruments and amending Directive 2002/92/EC and Directive
2011/61/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible
counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. The target market assessment indicates that the Notes are
incompatible with the knowledge, experience, needs, characteristic and objectives of clients which are retail
clients (as defined in MiFID II) and accordingly the Notes shall not be offered or sold to any retail clients. Any
person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a distributor) should take into consideration
the manufacturers' target market assessment. However, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible, among
other things, for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or
refining the manufacturers' target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.
Prohibition of sales to EEA and United Kingdom retail investors--The Notes shall not be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA or the United Kingdom. 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(1) of
MiFID II; (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (the "Insurance Distribution
Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article
4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation (as defined herein).
Consequently, no key information document ("KID") required by Regulation (EU) No. 1286/2014 (as amended,
the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors
in the EEA or in the United Kingdom has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise
making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the
PRIIPs Regulation.
Prohibition on Marketing and Sales to Retail Investors--The Notes are complex financial instruments and
are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all 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 Notes
to retail investors (as defined above). Each of the underwriters has represented and agreed that offers of the Notes
in the EEA and the United Kingdom shall only be directed specifically at or made to professional clients as
defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II.
By purchasing, or making or accepting an offer to purchase, any Notes (or a beneficial interest in the Notes)
from BBVA and/or any underwriters, each prospective investor will be deemed to represent, warrant,
acknowledge, consent, accept and undertake to, and agree with, BBVA and each of the underwriters that it is not
a retail client (as defined in MiFID II). In addition, each prospective underwriter and Joint Bookrunner will be
deemed to represent, warrant, acknowledge, consent, accept and undertake to, and agree with, BBVA that:
(i)
it will not:
a.
sell or offer the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) to any retail clients (as defined in
MiFID II); or
b.
communicate (including the distribution of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying
prospectus and any related free writing prospectus) or approve any invitation or inducement to
participate in, acquire or underwrite the Notes (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 (in each case within the meaning of MiFID II); and
(ii) it will at all times comply with all applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance (whether inside
or outside the EEA and the United Kingdom) relating to the promotion, offering, distribution and/or
sale of the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein), including (without limitation) MiFID II and any
other applicable laws, regulations and regulatory guidance relating to determining the appropriateness
and/or suitability of an investment in the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) by investors in any
relevant jurisdiction.
S-3


Each prospective investor further acknowledges that:
(i)
the identified target market for the Notes (for the purposes of the product governance obligations in
MiFID II) is eligible counterparties and professional clients only;
(ii) the target market assessment indicates that the Notes are incompatible with the knowledge, experience,
needs, characteristic and objectives of clients which are retail clients (as defined in MiFID II) and
accordingly the Notes shall not be offered or sold to any retail clients; and
(iii) no KID under the PRIIPs Regulation has been prepared and, therefore, offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs
Regulation.
Each potential investor in the Notes should inform itself of, and comply with, any applicable laws,
regulations or regulatory guidance with respect to any resale of the Notes (or any beneficial interests therein).
Where acting as agent on behalf of a disclosed or undisclosed client when purchasing, or making or
accepting an offer to purchase, any Notes (or any beneficial interests therein) from BBVA and/or the
underwriters all the foregoing representations, warranties, agreements and undertakings will be given by and be
binding upon both the agent and its underlying client.
None of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any related free writing
prospectus is a prospectus for the purposes of the European Union's Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the
"Prospectus Regulation").
Restrictions on Acquisition of Notes by Spanish Residents--The Notes may not be offered, distributed or
sold in Spain in the primary market except to Spanish resident investors in circumstances that satisfy the
requirements set forth in the ruling of the Directorate General for Taxation (Dirección General de Tributos) of
July 27, 2004.
The communication of this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any related free writing
prospectus and any other document or materials relating to the issue of the Notes offered hereby is not being
made, and such documents and/or materials have not been approved, by an authorized person for the purposes of
section 21 of the United Kingdom's Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended (the "FSMA").
Accordingly, such documents and/or materials are not being distributed to, and must not be passed on to, the

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements included in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We also may make forward-looking statements in our other documents filed
with, or furnished to, the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology such as "believe", "expect", "estimate", "project", "anticipate", "should", "intend", "probability",
"risk", "VaR", "target", "goal", "objective", "future" or by the use of similar expressions or variations on such
expressions, or by the discussion of strategy or objectives. Forward-looking statements are based on current
plans, estimates and projections, are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to inherent risks,
uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed
or implied by such forward-looking statements.
In particular, this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and certain documents incorporated
by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus include forward-looking
statements relating but not limited to management objectives, the implementation of our strategic initiatives,
trends in results of operations, margins, costs, return on equity and risk management, including our potential
exposure to various types of risk such as market risk, interest rate risk, currency risk and equity risk, each of
which has been affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. For example, certain of the market risk
disclosures are dependent on choices about key model characteristics, assumptions and estimates, and are subject
to various limitations. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only estimates and could be materially
different from what actually occurs in the future.
We have identified some of the risks inherent in forward-looking statements in "Risk Factors" in this
prospectus supplement, "Item 3. Key Information--Risk Factors", "Item 4. Information on the Company", "Item
5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" and "Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk" in our 2019 Form 20-F and "Item 4B. Business Overview", "Item 4E. Selected Statistical
Information" and "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our 1H20 Form 6-K. Other factors
could also adversely affect our results or the accuracy of forward-looking statements in this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and you should not consider the factors discussed here or in the
sections in our 2019 Form 20-F and 1H20 Form 6-K listed above to be a complete set of all potential risks or
uncertainties. Other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-
looking statements include, among others:

the private sector in connection therewith on our business and the economy;

EU and the future relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU;
S
adjustments in the real estate markets in the geographies in which we operate, in particular in Spain,

S
the effects of competition in the markets in which we operate, which may be influenced by regulation

changes in consumer spending and savings habits, including changes in government policies which
may influence spending, saving and investment decisions;
S
adverse developments in emerging countries, in particular Latin America and Turkey, including
unfavorable political and economic developments, social instability and changes in governmental

policies, including expropriation, nationalization, exchange controls or other limitations on the
distribution or repatriation of dividends, international ownership legislation, interest rate caps and tax
policies;
S
our ability to continue to access sources of liquidity and funding, including public sources of liquidity
such as the funding provided by the European Central Bank ("ECB") through the extraordinary

other funds from our subsidiaries;
S
our ability to hedge certain risks economically;
S
downgrades in our credit ratings or in Spain's credit ratings;
S
the success of our acquisitions, divestitures, mergers, joint ventures and strategic alliances;

weaknesses or failures in our Group's internal or outsourced processes, systems (including information
technology systems) and security;

S
the outcome of legal and regulatory actions and proceedings, both those to which the Group is currently
exposed and any others which may arise in the future, including actions and proceedings related to
former subsidiaries of the Group or in respect of which the Group may have indemnification
obligations;
S
actions that are incompatible with our ethics and compliance standards, and our failure to timely detect
or remedy any such actions;
S
uncertainty surrounding the integrity and continued existence of reference rates and the transition away
from the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR), Euro OverNight Index Average (EONIA) and
London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) to new reference rates;
S
our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing, which depends in part, among other
things, on our ability to anticipate events that are not captured by the statistical models we use; and
S
force majeure and other events beyond our control.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. In addition, the forward-
looking statements made in this prospectus supplement speak only as of the date of this prospectus supplement.
We do not intend to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances
after the date of this prospectus supplement, including, without limitation, changes in our business or strategy or
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, and we do not assume any responsibility to do so. You should,
however, consult any further disclosures of a forward-looking nature we may make in our other documents filed
with, or furnished to, the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the
accompanying prospectus.
