The Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) has approved the transaction of BBVA and Banco Sabadell. The take-up period is scheduled to begin on Monday, September 8, 2025 for Banco Sabadell shareholders to accept BBVA’s proposal. It is a very attractive offer, whose current equivalent value represents Banco Sabadell’s best valuation in more than a decade, while incorporating a premium clearly higher than that of recent similar transactions in Europe.

BBVA shareholders showed overwhelming support for all of the items proposed on the agenda at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, held this Friday. Quorum for the meeting reached 72.9 percent– an all-time high. The bank’s corporate management in 2024 received the support of 98.9 percent of the shareholders. Furthermore, the re-election as board members of BBVA Chair, Carlos Torres Vila, and CEO, Onur Genç, was backed by 97.4 percent and 99.1 percent of the votes, respectively.
