BBVA Redeems $1.0B Senior Non-Preferred Notes; SRB Consent Secured
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (BBVA) has announced an irrevocable decision to redeem in full its $1,000,000,000 5.862% Senior Non-Preferred Fixed-to-Fixed Rate Notes due 2026 on 14 September 2025, which is the Notes' Reset Date. The aggregate redemption price is $1,029,130,000, equal to 100% of principal plus accrued but unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. Because 14 September 2025 is not a Business Day, the Redemption Price will be paid on the next Business Day, 15 September 2025, and no interest will accrue after the Redemption Date. Payment will be made upon surrender to The Bank of New York Mellon, London Branch, and DTC-held Notes must follow DTC procedures. BBVA obtained prior consent from the Single Resolution Board.
