Proposal regarding Item V on the Agenda: Shareholder compensation via scrip dividends.

V.1.- First scrip dividend resolution. Approval of an increase in share capital with a charge to reserves by such amount as may be determined pursuant to the terms and conditions of the resolution, through the issuance of new ordinary shares having a par value of one euro each, and with a provision for incomplete allocation. Offer to the shareholders to purchase their free allotment rights at a guaranteed price.

1.- Capital increase with a charge to reserves

Approval of an increase in share capital in the amount resulting from multiplying (a) the par value of one euro per share of Telefónica, S.A. (“ Telefónica ” or the “ Company ”) by (b) the number of new shares of the Company to be determined using the formula indicated under section 2 below. The capital increase will be carried out by means of the issuance and flotation of new ordinary shares, having a par value of one euro each, of the same class and series as those that are currently outstanding, represented by book entries.

The capital increase will be carried out in its entirety with a charge to one of the reserves provided for in section 303.1 of the Companies Act ( Ley de Sociedades de Capital ).

The new shares will be issued at par, i.e., at their nominal value of one euro, without a share premium, and will be allotted without charge to those shareholders who exercise their free allotment rights.

Pursuant to the provisions of section 311 of the Companies Act, provision is made for the possibility of an incomplete allotment of the capital increase in the event that the Company, a company within its Group or a third party waives part or all of the free allotment rights to which they are entitled at the time of implementation of the increase. In the event of such incomplete allotment, the share capital will be increased by the corresponding amount.

2.- New shares to be issued

The maximum number of new shares to be issued will be the number resulting from the application of the following formula, rounded down to the nearest whole number:

NNS = TNShrs / Number of rights

Where:

NNS ” is the maximum number of new shares to be issued;

Telefónica, S.A.

TNShrs ” is the number of shares of the Company on the date it is resolved to implement the capital increase; and

Number of rights ” is the number of free allotment rights required for the allotment of one new share, which will be the number resulting from applying the following formula, rounded up to the nearest whole number:

Number of rights = [TNShrs x ListPri] / Reference Amount

Where:

Reference Amount ” will be the market reference value of the capital increase, which will be the result of applying the following formula:

Reference Amount = TNShrs x 0.20 x ListPri / (ListPri - 0.20), i.e., 1,038,426,337.20 euros multiplied by the ListPri/(ListPri-0.20) factor, and all divided by the result of subtracting 0.20 from the factor ListPri,

the final result may not exceed the sum of 1,200,000,000 euros.

ListPri ” is the arithmetic mean of the average weighted prices of the shares of the Company on the Spanish Automated Quotation System ( Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil Español ) during the 5 trading sessions closed prior to the resolution of the Board of Directors to carry out the capital increase, rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a euro and, in the case of one-half of one-thousandth of a euro, rounded up to the nearest one-thousandth. In any case, ListPri may not be less than the par value of the shares of Telefónica, such that if the result of such calculation is less, ListPri will be equal to one euro.

The maximum number of new shares to be issued thus calculated will be subject to the corresponding rounding to obtain a whole number of shares (by rounding the result down to the nearest whole number) and a rights-to-shares conversion ratio that is also whole (by rounding the result up to the nearest whole number). Additionally and for the same purposes, the Company (or any entity within its group that holds shares of the Company) will waive the free allotment rights corresponding thereto as provided in section 3 below.

3.- Free allotment rights

Each share of the Company will grant one free allotment right.

The number of free allotment rights required to receive one new share will be automatically determined according to the ratio existing between the maximum number of shares to be issued (NNS) and the number of shares of the Company at the date it is resolved to carry out the capital increase (TNShrs), calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in section 2 above. Specifically, the shareholders will be entitled to receive one new share for in the corresponding proportion for as many free allotment rights, determined as provided in section 2 above (Number of rights), as they hold.

Telefónica, S.A.

In the event that the number of free allotment rights required for the allotment of one new share (Number of rights) multiplied by the maximum number of new shares to be issued (NNS) results in a number that is lower than the number of shares of the Company on the date it is resolved to carry out the capital increase (TNShrs), the Company (or any entity within its Group that holds shares of the Company) will waive a number of free allotment rights equal to the difference between both figures, solely for the purpose of the number of new shares being a whole number and not a fraction.

The free allotment rights will be allotted to the shareholders who appear as being entitled thereto in the book-entry records of Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A.U. (IBERCLEAR) on the relevant date in accordance with applicable rules governing the clearing and settlement of securities.

The free allotment rights will be transferable on the same conditions as the shares from which they derive. The free allotment rights may be traded on the Spanish continuous market during the term determined by the Board of Directors, subject to a minimum of fifteen calendar days. Sufficient free allotment rights in the proportion required to subscribe for new shares may be acquired on the market during said trading period.

Once the period for trading the free allotment rights has ended, the new shares that it has not been possible to allot will be held on deposit for those who provide evidence that they are the lawful holders of the corresponding free allotment rights. Upon the passage of three years from the end of the aforementioned period for trading the free allotment rights, the new shares that are still pending allotment may be sold, for the account and risk of the interested parties, in accordance with the provisions of section 117 of the Companies Act. The net proceeds from such sale will be kept available for the interested parties as provided for by applicable law.

4.- Irrevocable undertaking to purchase the free allotment rights

The Company, or such company of its group as may be determined, will assume an irrevocable undertaking to purchase the free allotment rights at the price set forth below, exclusively in favor of the shareholders who were originally allotted the rights and solely in relation to the initially allotted rights, and the purchase undertaking may not be enforced with respect to free allotment rights that are acquired on or outside of the market.

The purchase undertaking will be effective during such term as is established by the Board of Directors, within the period for trading the rights. For such purpose, the Company, or the corresponding company of its group, is authorized to acquire such free allotment rights (as well as the shares corresponding thereto) up to the maximum limit of the total number of rights issued, subject to compliance with legal limitations in all cases.

The purchase price of each free allotment right under the purchase undertaking (Purchase Price) will be equal to the amount resulting from the following formula,

Telefónica, S.A.

rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of a euro, and in the case of one-half of one-thousandth of a euro, rounded up to the nearest one-thousandth of a euro:

Purchase Price = ListPri / (Number of rights + 1)

By decision of the Board of Directors, the Company may acquire the free allotment rights as a result of the purchase undertaking in part or in full, with a charge to results for the fiscal year or one of the reserves provided for in section 303.1 of the Companies Act.

Provision is made for the Company to waive the exercise of the free allotment rights acquired pursuant to the aforementioned purchase undertaking, such that the share capital will be increased only by the amount corresponding to the free allotment rights that have not been waived.

5.- Balance sheet for the transaction and reserve to which the increase will be charged

The balance sheet used as the basis for the transaction is the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, duly audited and approved by the shareholders at this General Shareholders’ Meeting.

As noted above, the capital increase will be made in its entirety with a charge to one of the reserves provided for in section 303.1 of the Companies Act. When implementing the increase, the Board of Directors will determine the reserve or reserves to be used and the amount thereof in accordance with the balance sheet used as the basis for the transaction.

6.- Representation and rights of the new shares

The new shares that are issued will be represented by book entries, the book-entry registration of which is entrusted to Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A.U. (IBERCLEAR) and its participating entities.

The new shares that are issued will give their holders the same rights as the currently outstanding ordinary shares of the Company as from the date on which the increase is declared to be subscribed and paid up.

7.- Application for admission to official trading

An application will be made for admission of the new shares issued to trading on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia Stock Exchanges through the Spanish Automated Quotation System ( Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil ) (Continuous Market), by taking such steps and actions as are necessary or appropriate and submitting the required documents to the competent bodies of the foreign Stock Exchanges on which the shares of the Company are listed (currently, through ADSs and ADRs, in New York and Lima) in order for the new shares that are issued to be admitted to trading. It is

Telefónica, S.A.

expressly stated for the record that the Company submits to the Stock Exchange rules that may now or hereafter exist, and especially regarding trading, continued listing on and delisting from official markets.

It is expressly stated for the record and for appropriate legal purposes that in the event of a subsequent request for delisting of the Company’s shares, such delisting will be carried out with such formalities as apply thereto and, in such event, the interests of the shareholders opposing or not voting on the resolution to delist will be safeguarded, in compliance with the requirements set out in applicable legal provisions.

8.- Implementation of the increase

Within a period of one year from the date of this resolution, the Board of Directors may resolve, if it so deems appropriate, to implement the increase and set the date of implementation and terms and conditions thereof to the extent not provided for in this resolution.

If the Board of Directors does not consider it advisable to implement the increase from the perspective of the corporate interest in view of the conditions affecting the market or the Company or those arising from any circumstance or event of social or economic significance to the Company, it may refrain from implementing such increase and must report such decision to the shareholders at the next General Shareholders’ Meeting.

(b) The Board of Directors will close the period for trading the free allotment rights and will record the application of an amount of reserves equal to the capital increase, with the increase thus being fully paid up.

Additionally, at the end of the period for trading the free allotment rights, the Board of Directors will adopt the resolutions required to amend the By-Laws in order to reflect the new amount of share capital and the new number of shares resulting from the capital increase and to apply for admission of the new shares that are issued to trading on the Spanish Stock Exchanges, as well as on any other stock exchanges or markets where the Company’s shares are listed.

9.- Delegation of powers for implementation of the increase

Pursuant to the provisions of section 297.1.a) of the Companies Act and within a period of one year as from the date of approval of this resolution, the Board of Directors (with express powers of sub-delegation) is empowered to implement the capital increase, setting the date out of implementation and the terms and conditions thereof to the extent not provided for in this resolution.

  1. In the event that convertible and/or exchangeable securities are issued, it is resolved to establish the following criteria for the determination of the terms and conditions of the conversion and/or exchange:

a) Instruments issued under this resolution may be convertible into new shares of the Company and/or exchangeable for outstanding shares of the Company, of any of the companies of its Group or of any other company in accordance with a fixed (whether determined or determinable) or variable conversion and/or exchange ratio, with the Board of Directors having the power to decide whether they are convertible and/or exchangeable, as well as to determine whether they are subject to mandatory or voluntary conversion and/or exchange, even on a contingent basis, and if voluntary,

Telefónica, S.A.

at the option of the holder thereof or the issuer, with the frequency and for the maximum period established in the resolution approving the issuance.

b) The conversion and/or exchange ratio shall normally be fixed and, for such purposes, fixed-income securities shall be valued at their nominal value and shares shall be valued at the fixed exchange ratio determined in the Board of Directors’ resolution, or at such exchange ratio as is determinable on the date or dates specified in the resolution of the Board, and on the basis of the listing price of the shares of the Company on the date or dates, or period or periods, used as a reference. In any case, subject to applicable anti-dilution adjustments, the price of the shares for purposes of the conversion and/or exchange may not be less than the arithmetic mean of the closing prices, the weighted average price or another benchmark price of the shares of the Company during the period to be determined by the Board of Directors, which may not be more than three months nor less than one day prior to (i) the date of the holding of the Board of Directors’ meeting at which the Board approves the issuance of the securities in exercise of the powers delegated hereby, or (ii) specific dates between the announcement of the issuance and the disbursement of the securities by subscribers (both inclusive). A premium or discount on such price per share may also be established, but if there is a discount on the price per share, it may not be greater than 25% of the value of the shares used as the benchmark in accordance with the provisions above. In the event of an exchange for shares of another company (whether or not belonging to the Group) the same rules will apply, to the extent that they are appropriate and with such adjustments, if any, as may be necessary, provided, however, that such rules will refer to the listing price of the shares of such company on the respective market.

c) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph b) above, the issuance of securities may be approved with a variable conversion and/or exchange ratio. In this case, the price of the shares for purposes of the conversion and/or exchange will be the arithmetic mean of the closing prices, the weighted average price, or other benchmark price of the shares of the Company during a period to be determined by the Board of Directors, which shall not be more than three months nor less than one day prior to the date of conversion and/or exchange, with a premium or, if appropriate, a discount on such price per share. The premium or discount may be different for each conversion and/or exchange date under each issuance (or under each tranche of an issuance, if any), provided, however, that if a discount on the price per share is set, such discount may not be greater than 30%.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, limits may be established in the form of a minimum and/or maximum benchmark price of the shares for purposes of the conversion and/or exchange thereof upon the terms decided by the Board. In the event of an exchange for shares of another company (whether or not belonging to the Group) the same rules will apply, to the extent that they are appropriate and with such adjustments, if any, as may

Telefónica, S.A.

be necessary, provided, however, that such rules will refer to the listing price of the shares of such company on the respective market.

d) Debentures may not be converted into shares if the nominal value of such debentures is less than the value of such shares. In addition, convertible debentures may not be issued in an amount that is less than the nominal value of such shares.

e) Whenever a conversion and/or exchange is admissible, any fractional shares to be delivered to the holders of instruments being converted and/or exchanged shall be rounded downward by default to the immediately lower integer, and each holder shall receive, in cash, the difference that may arise in such instance.

f) When approving an issuance of convertible and/or exchangeable securities, the Board of Directors shall issue a report elaborating on and specifying the terms and conditions of the conversion that are specifically applicable. In the case of an issuance of convertible securities, such report shall be accompanied by the corresponding report of an independent expert required by law.

  1. In any event, this delegation of powers to issue convertible and/or exchangeable securities includes:

a) The power to increase share capital by the amount required to accommodate the requests for conversion. Such power may only be exercised to the extent that the Board, adding the capital increase effected to accommodate the issuance of convertible securities and any other capital increases it may have resolved to effect pursuant to authorizations granted by the shareholders at General Shareholders’ Meetings, does not exceed the limit of one-half of the amount of the share capital established in the Companies Act, or 20% of such total amount of share capital if the issuance of the convertible securities excludes the pre-emptive rights of the shareholders, all in accordance with the authorization granted by the shareholders at a General Shareholders’ Meeting that is in effect on the date of the resolution to increase share capital and without such provisions in any way affecting the application of any anti-dilution adjustments, when such adjustments are appropriate.

b) The power to completely or partially exclude the pre-emptive rights of shareholders whenever required to raise funds on domestic and international markets, to use bookbuilding techniques, to facilitate the acquisition of assets that are appropriate to further the achievement of the object of the company or whenever otherwise warranted for reasons of corporate interest. If the Board decides to exclude the pre-emptive rights of the shareholders in connection with a specific issuance of convertible securities that it may decide to effect in reliance on this authorization, it will, upon approving the issuance, prepare a report describing the specific

Telefónica, S.A.

reasons of corporate interest that warrant such measure, which will be the subject of a corresponding report by an independent expert appointed for such purpose by the Commercial Registry, all in accordance with the Companies Act. Both reports shall be immediately published on the Company’s website.

c) The power to further develop the terms and conditions of the conversion and/or exchange, and particularly to determine the time of the conversion and/or exchange.

  1. The Board is hereby authorized to in turn delegate to the Executive Commission the powers granted in this resolution.

  2. The delegation of powers to issue securities granted by the shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting held by the Company on June 9, 2017 is hereby deprived of effect to the extent of the unused amount.
