BBVA SOCIEDAD ANONIMA
BBVA, Sociedad Anónima was a Spanish public limited company (sociedad anónima unipersonal) registered with the Registro Mercantil de Vizcaya under CIF A95074084, with its registered office at Calle Gran Vía nº1, Bilbao. It was incorporated on 7 February 2000. Its corporate purpose, as recorded in Spanish commercial-registry filings, was the acquisition, holding, administration and negotiation of securities together with trademarks, patents, internet domains and other intellectual-property rights, and related advertising, media and data-transmission activities.
This entity is a distinct legal person from Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (CIF A48265169), the listed banking group registered at Plaza de San Nicolás 4, Bilbao, which trades on Spanish stock exchanges under the ticker BBVA. BBVA, Sociedad Anónima itself was never admitted to trading on any exchange and should not be confused with that banking group.
On 3 September 2004, BBVA, Sociedad Anónima was dissolved without opening a liquidation period through a global transfer of all of its assets and liabilities to another company within the same corporate group, with a dissolution balance sheet drawn up as of 31 August 2004, as published in the Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil (BORME). Its registry status is currently recorded as inactive, consistent with that 2004 dissolution, and no subsequent trading or business activity has been identified from the sources reviewed.

Shareholders
BBVA, Sociedad Anónima operated as a sociedad unipersonal, meaning its entire share capital was held by a single shareholder. An official notice published in the Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil (BORME) on 3 September 2004 records that the company’s sole shareholder was Ciervana, Sociedad Limitada, holding a direct 100% interest, consistent with the company’s single-shareholder legal status. That same filing records the shareholder’s resolution to dissolve BBVA, Sociedad Anónima and transfer the whole of its assets and liabilities to Ciervana, Sociedad Limitada, based on a dissolution balance drawn up as of 31 August 2004. No share-class detail or earlier shareholder history was located from the sources reviewed. Because BBVA, Sociedad Anónima was dissolved on this date and its registry status is currently inactive, this shareholder position reflects ownership only up to the point of dissolution and is not a current holding.
### Data availability
Shareholder information for BBVA, Sociedad Anónima is best described as historical: a single, officially filed shareholder position is available, dated to the company’s 3 September 2004 dissolution filing, but no earlier record or subsequent shareholder was located, and the company no longer has an active shareholder base.

Officers
2
Registry data sourced from the Colegio de Registradores / Registro Mercantil Central lists two officers for BBVA, Sociedad Anónima, both recorded with the role of Administrador Solidario (a Spanish joint-and-several administrator role, under which either administrator may individually bind the company): Jose Ramón Blázquez Cagigas and Juan Tellechea Ayo. Appointment and resignation dates are not disclosed in the data reviewed, and neither nationality nor country of residence is disclosed. Given that BBVA, Sociedad Anónima’s registry status is inactive and the company was dissolved through a global transfer of assets and liabilities on 3 September 2004, this officer information most likely reflects a filing that predates the dissolution rather than a current appointment, and should be treated as a historical governance record rather than a current one. A separate commercial business-information database reviewed for this profile lists a different individual against the company’s administrator role; this discrepancy could not be resolved from the sources examined and further supports treating the officer data as historical rather than current.
### Data availability
Officer information for BBVA, Sociedad Anónima is historical: the underlying registry filing reviewed does not carry appointment or resignation dates, and the company’s inactive, dissolved status since 2004 means no current officers can be confirmed. Nationality and country of residence are not disclosed in the sources reviewed for this profile.

Group Structure
BBVA, Sociedad Anónima was part of a small set of single-shareholder (sociedad unipersonal) companies controlled by Ciervana, Sociedad Limitada, and ceased to exist as a separate legal entity following its dissolution on 3 September 2004. An official BORME filing records that, on that date, four companies registered in Bilbao and Madrid — BBVA, Sociedad Anónima (CIF A95074084); Algorta, Sociedad Anónima (CIF A48069454); Promotora de Recursos Naturales, Sociedad Anónima (CIF A28444024); and Productora de Minerales Industriales, Sociedad Anónima (CIF A58796525) — each transferred the whole of their assets and liabilities to their common sole shareholder, Ciervana, Sociedad Limitada, which assumed all associated creditor obligations. Three of the four transferring companies, including BBVA, Sociedad Anónima, shared the registered address Calle Gran Vía nº1, Bilbao. Ciervana, Sociedad Limitada’s own ownership was not independently verified from primary filings within the scope of this research, so no ultimate parent is reported here. No subsidiaries of BBVA, Sociedad Anónima were identified; the entity itself was dissolved in 2004.
