- The company will pay all shareholders an additional dividend of €1 per 200 shares (€0.005 gross per share) if a quorum of at least 70% of the share capital is reached
- Iberdrola has updated its engagement policy, created 10 years ago, to reinforce its commitment to shareholders and encourage their participation through different channels 365 days a year
Iberdrola begins its campaign for remote participation in the 2025 General Shareholders' Meeting, which it plans to hold on Friday, 30 May, at first call.
The company has called its meeting more than two months in advance, doubling the legal minimum period of one month, to encourage its hundreds of thousands of shareholders to participate. On 25 March, the Board of Directors updated the shareholder engagement policy, which was pioneeringly approved 10 years ago. This policy, focused on small investors, seeks to make it easier for all its shareholders to participate in its business project by promoting transparency, active listening and effective disclosure of its activities on an ongoing basis throughout the year.
The General Meeting – which Iberdrola is holding when it has a record high stock market value of over €90 B – will submit to its shareholders the approval of the results for the 2024 financial year, in which the company invested €17 B and increased its net profit by 17% to €5.612 B. The agenda also includes the proposed distribution of a final dividend of €0.404 gross per share, which, added to the €0.231 interim dividend paid in January, would bring the total distribution to hundreds of thousands of savers who invest in the company to €0.635 per share, 15% more than last year.
In addition, Iberdrola proposes, for the fourth consecutive year, an additional dividend of €0.005 gross per share (one euro gross for every 200 shares) to be paid to all shareholders entitled to participate if a quorum of at least 70% of the share capital is reached.
