DECLARES

The following, in accordance with the provisions of Article 228 of the Royal Legislative Decree 4/2015 of 23 October approving the consolidated text of the Securities Market Act:

RELEVANT FACT

On today's date the following have been submitted to the CNMV - National Securities Market Commission and are available on the company website at www.deoleo.com: the individual and consolidated annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016 together with the auditor's report, the Annual Corporate Governance Report and the Remuneration Report both relating to the year 2016, following their formulation and approval at the Board meeting held on 28 March.

Also in the aforementioned meeting, Mr. Ángel Rodríguez de Gracia and Mr. José López Vargas were appointed proprietary directors through the co-option procedure, following the resignations presented on the same date, respectively, by the likewise proprietary directors "Unicaja Banco, S.A.U.", represented by Mrs. María Teresa Sáez Ponte, and "Vilas Advisory Group, S.L.", represented by Mr. José María Vilas Aventín. A curricular review of the new directors is attached.

As indicated in the individual and consolidated annual accounts, with the aim of re- establishing the equity balance of the dominant company, the directors of the same have agreed to propose to their shareholders, for their approval in proper time and form, the implementation of a reduction of share capital, by reducing the nominal value of each and every one of the shares that make up the capital of the dominant company. According to the agreement adopted by the Directors, the proposed reduction will be between a minimum amount of EUR 300 million and a maximum amount of EUR 323 million, which would mean that the resulting nominal value per share would be between

€0.12 and €0.10, respectively. It is envisaged that in the General Shareholders' Meeting to be held between 29 May and 6 June 2017, this reduction of capital will be approved, to compensate for the negative results of previous periods and, where appropriate, for the establishment of a reserve of the type provided for in article 335 (c) of the consolidated text of the Capital Companies Act. Once this measure has been carried out, Deoleo, S.A. will have overcome the situation considered in article 363 of the aforementioned consolidated text as grounds for dissolution.

Finally, the Chairwoman has informed the Board of Directors of the concern among minority shareholders and expressed by their representatives regarding a hypothetical exclusion of the negotiation of Deoleo shares from the Spanish stock exchanges. In view of the rumours in relation to this issue and in order to mitigate possible detrimental effects to the share value derived therefrom, the board of Directors has analysed the

terms and conditions contained in the explanatory leaflet of the Deoleo, S.A. share takeover dated 18 November 2014, according to the version issued following the supplement of 12 December 2014, concluding that the exceptional assumptions envisaged therein to proceed with the exclusion of the negotiation in the framework of the takeover proposal launched by CVC have not been fulfilled, to the extent that these assumptions referred to (i) the case where as a result of the takeover proposal for all of the securities the Bidder possesses securities representing at least the 90 percent of the capital that confers voting rights and the offer has been accepted by securities holders representing at least 90% of the voting rights, other than those already under the control of the bidder or (ii) the case where as a result of the takeover, the negotiation of the shares had no liquidity. Therefore, it is not possible to promote the exclusion of Deoleo shares from stock exchange listing. Having analysed this issue, the proprietary directors nominated on the proposal of CVC stated that the majority shareholder does not intend to promote the exclusion of Deoleo shares from stock exchange listing.

And for all due purposes, the present Material Fact is reported, in the place and on the date indicated below.

In Madrid, 3 April 2017.
