admitted to trading on the Spanish AIAF Fixed Income Securities Market ("AIAF"). AIAF is a regulated market for the purposes of

be restricted by law. Persons into whose possession this Prospectus comes are required by ABANCA and

Words and expressions defined in the Conditions (see "Conditions of the Notes") 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 purchase of the Notes. 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 herein.
The Notes are complex financial instruments and are not a suitable or appropriate investment for all
investors. Each potential investor in the Notes 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)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Notes, the merits
and risks of investing in the Notes and the information contained or incorporated by reference in
this Prospectus, taking into account that the Notes are a suitable investment for professional or
institutional investors only;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the Notes and the impact the Notes will have on its
overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Notes,
including where the currency for payments in respect of the Notes is different from the potential
investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Notes, including the provisions relating to redemption or
substitution of the Notes and any variation of their terms, and is familiar with the behaviour of
financial markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect
its investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
A potential investor should not invest in the Notes unless it has the expertise (either alone or with its
financial and other professional advisers) to evaluate how the Notes will perform under changing conditions,
the resulting effects on the value of the Notes and the impact this investment will have on the potential
investor's overall portfolio.
The Notes are rated "BB+" by Fitch and "Ba3" by Moody's. Similar ratings assigned to different types of
securities do not necessarily mean the same thing and any rating assigned to the Notes does not address the
likelihood that interest (including any additional amounts payable in accordance with Condition 7) or any
other payments in respect of the Notes will be made on any particular date or at all. Credit ratings also do
not address the marketability or market price of securities.
A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision,
suspension or withdrawal, at any time, by the assigning rating organisation. Potential investors should not
rely on any rating of the Notes and should make their investment decision in light of its own circumstances.
The Bank does not participate in any decision making of the rating agencies and any revision or withdrawal
of any credit rating assigned to the Bank or any securities of the Bank is a third party decision for which
the Bank does not assume any responsibility.
MIFID II 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 Notes has led to the conclusion

- 4-

that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as
defined in 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 Notes are incompatible
with the needs, characteristic and objectives of clients which have no risk tolerance or are seeking on-
demand full repayment of the amounts invested. 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 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 RETAIL INVESTORS  The Notes are not intended to be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to and should 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(1) 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 client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II. Consequently, no key
information document (KID) required by the Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 on key information documents
for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for
offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA 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.

case may be, the relevant Iberclear Member accounting book

Iberclear Member) upon registration in the relevant registry
of each Iberclear Member and/or Iberclear itself, as
applicable. Each Holder will be (except as otherwise
required by Spanish law) treated as the absolute owner of the
relevant Notes for all purposes (whether or not it is overdue
and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any
interest, or any writing on, or the theft or loss of, the
Certificate issued in respect of it), and no person will be
liable for so treating the Holder.
