RIGHT TO ATTEND THE MEETING IN PERSON OR BY PROXY

The right to attend the General Shareholders’ Meeting hereby called accrues to shareholders that hold at least 300 shares registered in their name in the corresponding book-entry registry five days in advance of the date on which the Meeting is to be held and who provide evidence thereof by means of the appropriate attendance card or by producing a certificate issued by the Company or by any of the depositaries participating in Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A.U. (Securities Registration, Clearing and Settlement Systems Management Company) (IBERCLEAR), or by any other means allowed under applicable law.

Any shareholder having the right to attend the General Shareholders’ Meeting may be represented thereat by another person, who need not be a shareholder. A proxy may be granted by using the proxy-granting form printed on the attendance card or by any other means allowed by Law. The documents containing proxies for the General Shareholders’ Meeting must set forth the instructions regarding the direction of the vote. Where no express instructions are given, it shall be understood that the proxy-holder must vote in favor of the proposed resolutions submitted by the Board of Directors regarding the matters on the Agenda, and against the resolution in question in relation to any matters that are not included in the Agenda and are thus unknown on the date that the proxy is granted but which may be submitted to a vote at the General Shareholders’ Meeting.

LOGO

If the proxy-granting document does not set forth a specific person to whom the shareholder grants the proxy, such proxy will be deemed granted in favor of the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company or of such other person as may replace him as Chairman of the General Shareholders’ Meeting. In the event that the appointed representative is involved in a conflict of interest upon voting on any of the proposals, whether or not included in the Agenda, which are submitted to the shareholders at the General Shareholders’ Meeting, and the shareholder has not given specific voting instructions, the proxy will be deemed granted to the Secretary for the General Shareholders’ Meeting.

Shareholders who do not hold the minimum number of shares required to attend may grant a written proxy in respect thereof in favor of another shareholder having the right to attend, or come together with other shareholders that are in the same situation such that they reach the required number of shares and grant a written proxy to one of such shareholders.

PROXY-GRANTING AND VOTING BY MEANS OF LONG-DISTANCE COMMUNICATION

Pursuant to Articles 20 and 25 of the By-Laws and 13 and 22 of the Regulations for the General Shareholders’ Meeting and to the resolution adopted by the Board of Directors as permitted by the aforementioned provisions, the exercise of proxy representation and voting rights by means of long-distance communication shall be governed by the following provisions:

1.- Proxy-granting or voting prior to the General Shareholders’ Meeting by electronic means.

To such end, shareholders must provide evidence of their identity on the software provided for such purpose on the above-mentioned Website by means of: (i) the Electronic National Identity Document or (ii) a recognized, valid and current electronic user certificate, as provided in Electronic Signature Act 59/2003, of December 19, issued by the Spanish Public Certification Body (CERES), a division of the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (Spanish Royal Mint). The Company reserves the right to request such additional means of identification from shareholders as it deems necessary to verify their status as shareholders and to guarantee the authenticity of the vote and of the proxy-granting.

LOGO

2.- Proxy-granting or voting prior to the General Shareholders’ Meeting by postal correspondence.

Shareholders wishing to grant a proxy or to cast their vote by postal correspondence must complete and sign the distance proxy-granting or voting card prepared by the Company and send it to the attention of the Office of the Shareholder (Distrito Telefónica, Ronda de la Comunicación s/n, Edificio Central, planta 2, 28050 Madrid), attaching the original of the document in the name of the shareholder evidencing ownership of the shares, issued for such purpose by the Company or by the Depositary, along with a photocopy of the shareholder’s national identity document or passport.

Shareholders that are legal entities must send to the Company a photocopy of a power of attorney with sufficient powers, evidencing the authority of the individual signing the distance proxy-granting or voting card in the name of the legal entity.

If a proxy is granted to a person other than one of the members of the Board of Directors, a copy of the proxy-granting card must be sent to the proxy-holder for delivery at the access to the premises on the day of the General Shareholders’ Meeting.

Should they wish to revoke the proxy granted, shareholders must contact the Company, at the Office of the Shareholder (phone no.: 900 111 004) before midnight on May 26, 2014.

Shareholders may obtain the Company’s distance proxy-granting or voting card by downloading it from and printing it on the Website, by picking it up at the registered office of the Company or by requesting at the Office of the Shareholder (telephone 900 111 004 / mail accion.telefonica@telefonica.es) that it be sent to them without charge.

Shareholders may also grant a proxy or cast a vote using the cards issued by depositaries. In this case, shareholders must complete the sections relating to proxy-granting or voting from a distance, if applicable, on the card issued by the depositary and send it to the Company by postal correspondence to the attention of the Office of the Shareholder (Distrito Telefónica, Ronda de la Comunicación s/n, Edificio Central, planta 2, 28050 Madrid).

LOGO

3.- Provisions common to the exercise of proxy-granting or voting rights by means of long-distance communication.

a)	Deadline for receipt by the Company and evidence of the status as shareholder.

In order to be valid, both the proxies granted and the votes cast prior to the General Shareholders’ Meeting by means of long-distance communication (be it by electronic means or by postal correspondence) must be received by the Company before midnight on May 26, 2014.

The distance proxy or vote shall only be deemed to be valid if the status as shareholder is confirmed, through verification of the fact that the ownership information and the number of shares provided by each person granting a proxy or voting by means of long-distance communication are the same as the data provided by IBERCLEAR. In the event of a discrepancy between the number of shares reported by the shareholder and the number set forth in the IBERCLEAR file, the number of shares provided by IBERCLEAR shall prevail for purposes of quorum and voting.

In the event of co-ownership of shares, the person granting the proxy or the vote from a distance will be deemed to have been appointed to exercise the shareholder rights, if such person is one of the co-owners.

b)	Rules of priority between proxy-granting and voting by means of long-distance communication and attendance at the General Shareholders’ Meeting.

Attendance at the General Shareholders’ Meeting by a shareholder who has previously granted a proxy or voted by means of long-distance communication (whether by electronic means or by postal correspondence), shall render the proxy or the vote null and void.

In the event that a shareholder grants several proxies or casts several votes (whether by electronic means or by postal correspondence), the action (proxy-granting or voting) taken last shall prevail. If the time when the shareholder granted any of the proxies or cast any of the votes is uncertain, the vote (regardless of the means used to cast it) shall prevail over the proxy-granting. If the shareholder cast several votes in different directions, by electronic or postal means, the vote cast last shall prevail.

c)	Suspension of electronic systems / Interconnection failures.

The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, cancel or limit electronic voting or proxy-granting mechanisms whenever technical or security reasons require it or make it advisable. If any of such instances occurs, it will be announced on the Company’s corporate website. All of the foregoing is without prejudice to the validity of the votes already cast and the proxies already granted and to shareholders’ attendance and proxy representation rights.

LOGO

The Company shall not be liable for any damage that may be sustained by shareholders as a result of failures, overloads, downtime, failed connections or any other contingency of the same or like nature beyond the Company’s control that prevents the use of electronic voting or proxy-granting mechanisms. Accordingly, such circumstances shall not constitute an unlawful deprivation of shareholders’ rights.

d)	Other matters.

Both proxies granted and votes cast by means of long-distance communication shall be rendered void by the disposal of the shares that the Company becomes aware of.

ELECTRONIC SHAREHOLDERS’ FORUM

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 539.2 of the Companies Act, on the occasion of the call to meeting and until the General Shareholders’ Meeting is held, Telefónica, S.A. has set up an Electronic Shareholders’ Forum on the Company’s corporate website (www.telefónica.com) which shall be accessible, with appropriate safeguards, by both individual shareholders and any shareholder associations they may create.

2014 ORDINARY GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING		4 of 37


		Telefónica, S.A.

Proposal regarding Item III on the Agenda: Shareholder Compensation by means of a scrip dividend. Increase in share capital 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 (1) euro each, with no share premium, of the same class and series as those that are currently outstanding, with a charge to reserves. Offer to purchase free-of-charge allocation rights at a guaranteed price. Express provision for the possibility of incomplete allocation. Delegation of powers to the Board of Directors, which may, in turn, delegate such powers to the Executive Commission, to set the terms and conditions of the increase as to all matters not provided for by the shareholders at this General Shareholders’ Meeting, to take such actions as may be required for the implementation thereof, to amend the text of sub-section 1 of Article 5 of the By-Laws to reflect the new amount of the share capital and to execute such public and private documents as may be necessary for the implementation of the capital increase. Application to the appropriate domestic and foreign authorities for admission to trading of the new shares on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia Stock Exchanges through the Automated Quotation System (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil) (Continuous Market) and on the foreign Stock Exchanges on which the shares of Telefónica S.A. are listed (currently on London and Buenos Aires and, through ADSs, New York and Lima), in the manner required by each of such Stock Exchanges.

1.- Capital Increase

Those present resolved to increase capital stock by the amount resulting from multiplying (a) the par value of one (1) euro per share in Telefónica, S.A. by (b) the number of new Telefónica, S.A. shares to be determined using the formula indicated under item 2 below (the “New Shares”).

The capital increase is performed by issuing and allotting the New Shares, which shall be common shares, each with a par value of one (1) euro, of the same class and series as those currently outstanding, represented by book entries.


2014 ORDINARY GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING		5 of 37


		Telefónica, S.A.

The capital increase is performed in full with a charge to one of the reserves provided for under Article 303.1 of the Corporate Enterprises Law.

The New Shares are issued at par, i.e., for their par value of one (1) euro, without additional paid-in capital, and will be allotted free of charge to those shareholders of Telefónica, S.A. that exercise free-of-charge allocation rights.

Pursuant to Article 311 of the Corporate Enterprises Law, provision is made for the possibility of an incomplete allotment of the increase. If such incomplete allotment occurs, capital will be increased by the appropriate amount.

2.- New Shares to be issued

The number of New Shares will be equal to the result of applying the following formula, rounded down to the nearest whole number:


		NAN = NTAcc / Number of rights

where,

NAN = Number of New Shares to be issued;

NTAcc = Number of outstanding Telefónica, S.A. shares on the date the Board of Directors or, by delegation, the Executive Commission decides to carry out the increase; and

Number of rights = Number of free-of-charge allotment rights needed for the allotment of one New Share, which number will be obtained by applying the following formula, rounded up to the nearest whole number:

Number of rights = NTAcc / Provisional number of shares

where,

Provisional number of shares = Amount of the Alternative Option / PreCot.


2014 ORDINARY GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING		6 of 37


		Telefónica, S.A.

For such purposes:

“Amount of the Alternative Option” will be 1,592,858,605.10 euros.

“PreCot” is the arithmetic mean of the average weighted prices of the Telefónica, S.A. share on the Automated Quotation System (Sistema de Interconexión Bursátil Español) (Continuous Market) in the 5 trading sessions prior to the decision of the Board of Directors or, by delegation, the Executive Commission to carry out the capital increase, rounded off 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 (amount referred to as “Market Price” in this report). In any case, PreCot cannot be less than the par value of the shares and, accordingly, if the result of the foregoing calculation were less, PreCot would be equal to one (1) euro.

3.- Free-of-charge allotment rights

Each outstanding Telefónica, S.A. share will grant one free-of-charge allotment right.

The number of free-of-charge allotment rights needed to receive one new Share will be determined automatically according to the proportion between the number of New Shares and the number of outstanding Shares (NTAcc). In particular, shareholders will be entitled to receive one New Share for every number of free-of-charge allotment rights determined automatically pursuant to section 2 above (Number of rights) they own.

Holders of debentures or other instruments convertible into shares of Telefónica, S.A. existing at any time will not have the free-of-charge allotment right, although they will have, where appropriate, the right to modify the conversion rate of instruments into shares (or the minimum or/and maximum limits of this rate, when it is variable), in proportion to the amount of the increase.


2014 ORDINARY GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING		7 of 37


		Telefónica, S.A.

If (i) the number of free-of-charge allotment rights needed for the allotment of one share (Number of rights) multiplied by the New Shares (NAN) is lower than (ii) the number of outstanding shares (NTAcc), Telefónica, S.A. or an entity in its Group, will waive a number of free-of-charge allotment rights equal to the difference between the two figures, for the sole purpose of having a whole number of New Shares and not a fraction.

The free-of-charge allotment rights may be traded on the market during the term stipulated by the Board or, by delegation, by the Executive Commission, which cannot be less than fifteen calendar days.

4.- Undertaking to purchase free-of-charge allotment rights

Telefónica, S.A. or whichever Telefónica group company is determined, will make an irrevocable undertaking to purchase the rights received free of charge by shareholders at the price indicated below (the “Purchase Undertaking”).

1.	The aforementioned securities may be issued on one or more occasions, at any time, within a maximum term of five years as from the date of approval of this resolution.

The securities issued may be debentures, bonds, notes and other fixed-income securities or similar debt instruments, or hybrid instruments in any of the forms allowed by law, both simple and, in the case of debentures, bonds and [hybrid instruments], convertible into shares of the Company and/or exchangeable for shares of the Company, of any of the companies within its Group or of any other company. This delegation also includes warrants or other similar securities that might give the right to directly or indirectly subscribe or acquire shares of the Company, whether newly issued or outstanding, and which may be paid for by physical delivery or by offset.

The maximum total amount of the issuance(s) of securities approved under this delegation of powers may not exceed, at any given time, the sum of 25,000 million euros or the equivalent thereof in another currency. In the case of notes, the outstanding balance of any notes issued under such delegation of powers shall be computed for purposes of the aforementioned limit.

The delegation shall include the power to establish the different aspects and terms and conditions of each issuance (nominal value, issue price, reimbursement price, domestic or foreign currency of the issuance, interest rate, amortization, anti-dilution mechanisms, adjustments of the conversion price for payment of dividends, shares subject to mandatory or voluntary conversion and/or exchange, even on a contingent basis, and if voluntary, at the option of the holder of the securities or the issuer, subordination provisions, guarantees supporting the issuance, place of issuance, admission to listing, applicable law, etc.).

5.	In the case of issuance of securities that are convertible and/or exchangeable and for purposes of determining the terms and conditions of conversion and/or exchange, it is resolved to establish the following standards:

Securities 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 the conversion and/or fixed or variable exchange ratio (whether determined or determinable), 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, 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.


2014 ORDINARY GENERAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING		14 of 37


		Telefónica, S.A.

The conversion and/or exchange rate 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 rate determined in the Board of Directors’ resolution, or at such exchange rate 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 such resolution. In any case, 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 on the Spanish Continuous Market during the period to be determined by the Board of Directors, which may not be more than three months or less than three days 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 the exercise of the powers delegated hereby, or to (ii) a certain date 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 above 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.

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph b) above, the issuance of securities may be approved with a variable conversion and/or exchange rate. 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 on the Spanish Continuous Market during a period to be determined by the Board of Directors, which will not be more than three months or less than three days 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 on the minimum and/or maximum benchmark price of the shares for purposes of the conversion and/or exchange thereof may be established upon terms decided by the Board.

Pursuant to the provisions of Section 415 of the Companies Act, 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 less than the nominal value of such shares.

Whenever a conversion and/or exchange is admissible, any fractional shares to be delivered to the holders of securities 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.

When approving an issuance of convertible and/or exchangeable securities in reliance on the authorization set forth in this resolution, the Board of Directors shall issue a Directors’ report elaborating on and specifying, on the basis of the standards described above, the terms and conditions of the conversion that are specifically applicable to the above-mentioned issuance.

At the start of the relevant cycle, each Participant shall be allocated a theoretical number of shares.
