Significant event

In relation to the tender offer launched by CaixaBank, S.A. ("CaixaBank") over Banco BPI, S.A. ("BPI") whose preliminary announcement was made on April 18, 2016 ("Announced Tender Offer"), CaixaBank informs that the Supervisory Board of the European Central Bank (the "ECB"), in response to a petition submitted by CaixaBank, has decided to give CaixaBank a term of four months to solve BPI's large exposure breach. This four-month term shall start counting as from the effective takeover of BPI by CaixaBank on the basis of this occurring prior to the end of October 2016.

The Supervisory Board of the ECB has also decided to put on hold during this period the on-going sanction proceeding against BPI for its large exposure breach existing prior to 2015, which was disclosed to the market by BPI on item 3 of its relevant fact published on April 19, 2016.

CaixaBank has been informed that these decisions are made by the Supervisory Board of the ECB in the context of the Announced Tender Offer and on the assumption that CaixaBank eventually takes control of BPI.

The above information shall be included in the tender offer prospectus over BPI to be registered with the CMVM in due course.
