The latest announcement is out from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria ( (ES:BBVA) ).
BBVA’s 2025 Annual General Shareholders’ Meeting approved the individual and consolidated financial statements, management reports and non-financial information for the year ended 31 December 2025, along with the board’s management. Shareholders also backed a profit allocation of €7.16 billion, with about €5.27 billion earmarked for dividends, including a final dividend of €0.60 per share payable on 10 April 2026, and the remainder going to voluntary reserves, underscoring a continued commitment to shareholder remuneration and capital strength.
The meeting further renewed several board members and appointed a new independent director, setting the board size at 15, which reinforces governance continuity and independent oversight. In a move that enhances its capital planning flexibility, BBVA shareholders authorized the board to issue up to €8 billion in contingent convertible securities (CoCos) over five years, instruments designed to qualify as regulatory capital and support the bank’s ability to meet evolving solvency requirements and manage its funding structure.
