summarizeSummary

This 424B5 filing details the final terms and pricing of a $2.5 billion senior non-preferred note offering, following the preliminary announcement on February 24, 2026. The offering, comprising fixed and floating rate notes, is a substantial capital raise for general corporate purposes.

Investors should note the 'senior non-preferred' status, which means these notes are subordinated to senior preferred debt and deposits, and are subject to Spanish bail-in power, a standard risk for European bank debt. This capital raise provides financial flexibility for the bank, which has also been active in share buyback programs recently.
