BANCO SABADELL ANNOUNCES THE RESULTS OF THE TENDER OFFERS

The Expiration Deadline in respect of the Tender Offers was 5:00

In order to align the proceeds raised from the New Shares
Offering more closely with the amount of cash to be applied to the
repurchase of Existing Securities, the Offeror has exercised its
discretion pursuant to the Tender Offers (as further described
under "Amendment and Termination" of the Tender Offer Memorandum
dated 31 January 2011 (the "Tender Offer Memorandum")) to increase
the Maximum Tender Amount from EUR483,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Existing Securities to EUR491,800,000 in
aggregate principal amount of Existing Securities.
The aggregate amount of valid tenders received exceeded the
increased Maximum Tender Amount. As set out under "Terms and
Conditions of the Tender Offers - Ranking Priority" of the Exchange
Offer Memorandum, the Offeror has accepted tenders in the order of
priority described below, and has applied the pro ration factor
indicated below to the acceptances of validly tendered 2006
Existing Subordinated Securities. As a result of the application of
the Ranking Priority, the Offeror has not accepted tendered 2010
