purchase amount of the Notes is $200,000. All payments on or in
respect of the Notes will be made in U.S. dollars. The Notes will be
initially represented by one or more global security certificates (each,
a "Global Certificate") which will be deposited with a custodian for
DTC and Notes represented thereby will be registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.
Beneficial interests in the Notes will be shown on, and transfers
thereof will be effected only through, the book-entry records
maintained by DTC and its participants. You will not receive
certificated notes (as defined in the accompanying prospectus) unless
one of the events described under the heading "Description of the
Notes of BBVA--Global Certificates," in the accompanying
prospectus, occurs.
Status of the Notes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Notes will constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and
unsecured indebtedness of the Issuer and will rank pari passu among
themselves and with all other unsubordinated and unsecured
indebtedness of the Issuer, but in the event of insolvency only to the
extent permitted by Law 22/2003 (Ley Concursal) dated July 9, 2003,
as amended, regulating insolvency proceedings in Spain, or other
laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in
Spain.
The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all of the Issuer's
secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing
such indebtedness, and other obligations that rank senior under
Spanish law. As of June 30, 2015, the Issuer had an aggregate of
35,406 million of outstanding secured indebtedness and 11,122
million of outstanding unsecured indebtedness. For additional
information about the Issuer's principal transactions since June 30,
2015, see "Consolidated Capitalization and Indebtedness of the
BBVA Group".

The Notes are subject to, can be varied, or can change form, if
necessary, to give effect to, the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power
by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority.
Agreement with Respect to the Exercise
of 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, by purchasing any Notes offered hereunder, each
holder (including each holder of a beneficial interest in the Notes)
acknowledges, accepts, consents and agrees to be bound by: (i) the
effect of the exercise of the Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant
Spanish Resolution Authority, that may include and result in any of
the following, or some combination thereof: (1) the reduction of all,
or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the Notes; (2) the conversion of
all, or a portion, of the Amounts Due on the 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 the Notes; (3) the cancellation of the Notes;
(4) the amendment or alteration of the maturity of the Notes or
amendment of the amount of interest payable on the 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, if necessary, 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".
In addition, no repayment or payment of Amounts Due on the Notes
will become due and payable or be paid after the exercise of the
Spanish Bail-in Power by the Relevant Spanish Resolution Authority
if and to the extent such amounts have been reduced, converted,
cancelled, amended or altered as a result of such exercise.
Early Redemption for Taxation or
Listing Reasons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . In the event of various tax law changes that would require the Issuer
to pay Additional Amounts on the Notes, the Issuer may redeem all,
but not less than all, of the Notes prior to maturity. See "Certain
Terms of the Notes--Redemption--Early Redemption for Taxation
or Listing Reasons" in this prospectus supplement.
In addition, if the Notes are not listed on an organized market in an
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development
("OECD") country by the date that is 45 days prior to the initial
Interest Payment Date on the Notes, the Issuer may, at its election and
having given not less than 15 days' notice to the holders of the Notes
in accordance with the terms described under the heading "Certain
Terms of the Notes--Notices", redeem all of the outstanding Notes
(any such redemption, a "Redemption for Failure to List"). In the
event of a Redemption for Failure to List of the Notes, the Issuer will
be required to withhold tax and will pay any income in respect of the
Notes redeemed net of the Spanish withholding tax applicable to such
payments (currently 19.5% and 19% from January 1, 2016). If this
were to occur, owners of a beneficial interest in such Notes (each, a
"Beneficial Owner") would have to follow the Direct Refund from
Spanish Tax Authorities Procedures set forth in Annex A to this
prospectus supplement in order to apply directly to the Spanish tax
authorities for any refund to which they may be entitled.
S-7


Optional Redemption of the Notes . . . . . The Issuer may, at its election and having given not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' notice to the holders of the Notes in accordance
with the terms described under the heading "Certain Terms of the
Notes--Notices", redeem from time to time all or a portion of the
outstanding Notes at a redemption price determined in the manner set
forth in this prospectus supplement. See "Certain Terms of the
Notes--Redemption--Optional Redemption of the Notes".
Purchases of the Notes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Issuer and any of its subsidiaries may at any time purchase the
Notes in the open market or otherwise and at any price in accordance
with any applicable laws and regulations.
Use of Proceeds . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . We expect that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting the
underwriters' discounts but before expenses, will be approximately
$992,080,000. The proceeds of the issue of the Notes, after deducting
the underwriters' discounts and paying any issue expenses, will be
used for the BBVA Group's general corporate purposes. See "Use of
Proceeds".
Spanish Tax Law Requirements . . . . . . . Under the regulations established by Royal Decree 1065/2007,
income obtained in respect of the Notes will not be subject to
withholding tax in Spain, provided certain requirements are met,
including that the Paying Agent provides the Issuer, in a timely
manner, with a duly executed and completed payment statement (the
"Payment Statement"). See "Spanish Tax Considerations--
Compliance with Certain Requirements in Connection with Income
Payments". For these purposes, "income" means interest paid on an
Interest Payment Date (as defined herein) or the amount of the
difference, if any, between the aggregate redemption price paid upon
the redemption of the Notes (or a portion thereof) and the aggregate
principal amount of such Notes (other than in the event of a
Redemption for Failure to List), as applicable.
If the Paying Agent fails to deliver a duly executed and completed
Payment Statement on a timely basis, in respect of an Interest
Payment Date or in connection with a redemption of Notes (other
than in the event of a Redemption for Failure to List), then the related
payment will be subject to Spanish withholding tax, currently at the
rate of 19.5% (19% from January 1, 2016). In such an event, the
Issuer will pay the relevant Noteholder such additional amounts as
may be necessary in order that the net amount received by such
Noteholder after such withholding equals the sum of the respective
amounts of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, which
would otherwise have been receivable in respect of the Notes in the
absence of such withholding.
Listing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . We will apply to list the Notes on the New York Stock Exchange and,
if approved, trading is expected to commence within 30 days after the
initial delivery of the Notes.
Governing Law . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The Notes and the Indenture will be governed by and construed under
the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made or
instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said state,
except that the authorization and execution by the Issuer of the
Indenture and the Notes and the issuance of the Notes shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with Spanish law.
S-8


Settlement . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The underwriters expect to deliver the Notes to purchasers in
registered form through DTC for credit to accounts of direct or
indirect participants in DTC, including Clearstream, Luxembourg and
Euroclear, on or about October 20, 2015 which will be the fifth New
York business day following the date of pricing of the Notes (such
settlement period being referred to as "T+5").
Conflicts of Interest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . BBVA Securities Inc. is a subsidiary of the Issuer. BBVA Securities
Inc. will conduct this offering in compliance with the requirements of
FINRA Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc., which is commonly referred to as FINRA, regarding a FINRA
member firm's distribution of the securities of an affiliate and related
conflicts of interest. Neither BBVA Securities Inc. nor any of our
other affiliates may make sales in this offering to any discretionary
account without the specific written approval of the accountholder.
