(incorporated with limited liability in Portugal) Combined Offering of up to 1,607,033,212 New Ordinary Shares Subscription Price of €0.65 per Ordinary Share Banco Espírito Santo, S.A. (“BES” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “BES Group”) is offering up to 1,607,033,212 new ordinary shares (the “New Shares”), with no par value, of BES (BES’ ordinary shares, the “Shares”) in book-entry form at a subscription price of €0.65 per New Share (the “Subscription Price”). If all of the New Shares are subscribed for, they will represent approximately 28.57% of the shares representing the share capital of BES following completion of the Combined Offering (as defined below). In proportion to their existing holdings of Shares (the “Existing Shares”), holders of Existing Shares as of the Record Date (as defined below) (the “Existing Shareholders”) will receive transferable preemptive subscription rights (the “Proportional Rights”), which include oversubscription rights to subscribe for any New Shares that are not subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of the Proportional Rights (the “Oversubscription Rights” and, together with the Proportional Rights, the “Rights”). Existing Shareholders will receive one Proportional Right for every one Existing Share they own as of the Record Date. Subject to compliance with applicable law, holders of Proportional Rights will be entitled to subscribe with preference over other investors at the Subscription Price for a number of New Shares determined by multiplying the number of Proportional Rights they hold by a factor of 0.4, which for Existing Shareholders is equivalent to 2 New Shares for every 5 Existing Shares owned on the Record Date (the “Rights Offering”). Fractions of New Shares will not be issued, and any fractions arising through the exercise of Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. The exercise of Rights will become irrevocable and may not be cancelled or modified after the close of business on 4 June 2014. The Rights may, if not exercised by the holder thereof, be traded (as described below). See “Terms and Conditions of the Combined Offering”. Rights may be exercised only during the period from 8:30 a.m. on 27 May 2014 to 3:00 p.m. on 9 June 2014 (the “Subscription Period”). Any Rights unexercised at the end of the Subscription Period will expire valueless without any compensation. The underwriters identified under “Plan of Distribution and Arrangement” (the “Underwriters”) have severally (and not jointly) agreed, subject to certain conditions, either to procure subscribers, or themselves to subscribe, at the Subscription Price, the New Shares not otherwise subscribed for in the Rights Offering (the “Remaining Shares”). Any such Remaining Shares are expected to be offered to eligible investors in Portugal and elsewhere outside the United States (the “Institutional Offering” and, together with the Rights Offering, the “Combined Offering”). The Combined Offering may be terminated in certain circumstances, at any time, as described herein. Neither the Rights nor the New Shares have been, or will be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Rights and the New Shares may only be offered, sold, exercised or otherwise transferred pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the New Shares are being offered and sold in the Rights Offering (subject to certain limited exceptions at BES’ discretion) and the Institutional Offering only outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. Investing in the Rights and/or New Shares involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 21 for certain factors to be considered before subscribing for New Shares. The Shares are traded on Euronext Lisbon under the symbol “BES”. On 14 May 2014, the closing price of the Shares on Euronext Lisbon was €1.12 per Share. BES has applied to list the New Shares on Euronext Lisbon. The record date for the purpose of determining entitlement to Rights (the “Record Date”) is 4:40 p.m. (Lisbon time) on 21 May 2014, if Shares are acquired on Euronext Lisbon, which will be the last day that the Shares will trade Cum-Rights on Euronext Lisbon. If Shares are acquired on an over-the-counter market, and such Shares are delivered by 7:00 p.m. (Lisbon time) on 26 May 2014, the Record Date with respect to such Shares is 7:00 p.m. (Lisbon time) on 26 May 2014. The Shares are expected to commence trading ex-Rights on Euronext Lisbon on 22 May 2014. Subject to compliance with relevant securities laws, the Rights will be freely transferable and are expected to trade on Euronext Lisbon under the symbol “BESDS” from 27 May 2014 until 3 June 2014. BES expects to issue the New Shares on or around 16 June 2014 and to deliver them to subscribers on or around 16 June 2014, but no assurance can be given that such issuance and delivery will not be delayed. The expected date for commencement of trading of the New Shares on Euronext Lisbon is on or around 17 June 2014. At the opening of business on 27 May 2014, the Rights are expected to be credited through the book-entry system of the Central de Valores Mobiliários (the “CVM”) to the accounts of persons who held Shares on the Record Date.
