(1) Includes the proposal of a dividend of 0.15 euros per share, to be paid in April 2020. The total distributable amount is the estimated maximum, which will be reduced in accordance with the number of treasury shares held by CaixaBank at the date of payment of the dividend.

(2) It is not necessary to transfer part of the 2019 profit to the legal reserve, as this reserve has reached 20% of the share capital (art. 274 of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act).

(3) Estimated amount allocated to the voluntary reserve. This amount will increase by the same amount as the amount earmarked for payment of the final dividend decreases (see Note 1 above). Remuneration of AT1 capital instruments corresponding to 2019 issued by CaixaBank, totalling EUR 133 million, will be deemed to have been paid, with this amount charged to voluntary reserves.
