Iberdrola sets up the Shareholder Information Desks to promote participation in the General Meeting

  • As of tomorrow, the electricity company sets up the Shareholder Information Desks, which will be open until 16 May
  • Shareholders will receive a dividend of €0.005 gross per share if a quorum of 70% of the share capital is reached
     

Iberdrola is promoting participation in the General Shareholders' Meeting to be held on 17 May with the opening tomorrow, and until 16 May, both days included, of its Shareholder Information Desks in Bilbao, Madrid, Valencia, Valladolid, and Zaragoza. There they will be assisted personally and will be able to delegate or vote with their ID card without the need to carry their proxy and voting card and they will also receive a commemorative gift. 

Iberdrola will hold an even more participatory, accessible, close, sustainable, and innovative General Shareholders' Meeting this year, making available to its shareholders multiple channels for remote participation and the possibility of attending telematically, in addition to in-person attendance with reserved seating. In fact, Iberdrola is in the midst of holding the Shareholder Month (shareholder-month.iberdrola.com), a virtual space that includes thematic rooms to keep shareholders fully informed on Iberdrola’s strategies and activities.

For the third consecutive year, the company has proposed an engagement dividend of 0.005 euros gross per share (€1 gross for every 200 shares). If a quorum of at least 70% of the share capital is reached and the General Meeting approves this incentive, Iberdrola will pay this amount to all its shareholders entitled to participate. Iberdrola is the only Ibex 35 company that rewards its shareholders in this way.

The Company has also strengthened relations with its investors through OLA Shareholder Club, an exclusive area on the website for all investors in Europe's largest utility and the second largest in the world. OLA was born in 2012 to make shareholders' right to information a tangible reality and has evolved over the years to achieve maximum shareholder engagement.

A wide range of services to facilitate participation

Iberdrola offers a wide range of services to facilitate the participation of any investor. Thus, shareholders who receive the proxy and remote voting card from the company can enter votojunta.iberdrola.com through a personalised QR code. They can also call the toll-free telephone number +34 900 100 019 and provide the password indicated next to the QR on the card or send an image of the signed card by WhatsApp (to +34 639 000 639), by Telegram (https://t.me/JuntaIberdrolaBot), or by e-mail (to Junta2024@iberdrola.es). Another option is to send the signed card by post (P.O. Box 1.113, 48080 Bilbao) or through the depositary entities.

Furthermore, the Shareholder Information Desks in Bilbao, Madrid, Valencia, Valladolid and Zaragoza will be open from tomorrow until 16 May. There, shareholders can delegate, vote and collect a gift – a towel bag made of organic cotton of 380 gr. – after participating. In addition, those who participate via the corporate website or the telephone channel can enter a draw for 30 electric bicycles. 

All shareholders wishing to exercise their proxy or remote voting rights will have to do so through one of the above-mentioned channels until 23:59 on 16 May, the day before the meeting. 

Shareholders and proxy holders who wish to attend telematically must register between 08:00 and 10:15 a.m. on 17 May (the scheduled date of the Meeting). In order to speed up their registration on the day of the Meeting, they may register in advance through the Participation Portal on the website. 

Permanent Board 

In addition to participation in the General Meeting, the Company promotes permanent information and continuous involvement of shareholders throughout the year. This is thanks to initiatives such as the contact channels of the Shareholders' Office, the interactive application OLA Shareholders' Club and Shareholders' Month, among others.
