Iberdrola plans to distribute a gross dividend of €0.005 per share, equivalent to one euro for every 200 shares. The company notified the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) that a quorum sufficient to approve the capital proposal was reached at the general meeting held on April 28. If the required quorum was achieved, the amount would be paid to all shareholders entitled to participate in the meeting. Iberdrola stands out as the only Ibex 35 company rewarding its shareholders in this manner at its flagship event.
The participation dividend aligns with a board of directors that emphasizes a more participatory, accessible, close, sustainable, and innovative approach, as the company describes. To support this goal, Iberdrola opened multiple channels for shareholders to engage with the meeting this Friday. Shareholders who possess the company card can vote quickly and easily via the voting portal opened for the event. A personalized QR code is used to access the site www.votojunta.iberdrola.com. Those who received voting cards through custodians can reach the same link using their electronic signature, or simply by entering the number of shares or the OLA Shareholder Club code.
For convenience, an email option is also available at [email protected] for shareholders who prefer to submit their signed cards through this route. Another voting alternative is by telephone, calling the toll-free number 900 100 019, or by traditional mail.
Iberdrola is noted as the first Spanish company to permit its shareholders to exercise voting rights via instant messaging systems. To vote through this channel, shareholders can submit an image of their proxy and a signed remote vote. The WhatsApp line is +34 639 000 639, and the Telegram account is the Iberdrola Board channel, enabling rapid participation from eligible voters.
Additionally, the company offers face-to-face service points for shareholder use in Bilbao, Madrid, Valencia, Valladolid, and Zaragoza. At these locations, shareholders can delegate, vote, and collect participation gifts from April 19 to April 27 of the same month.
All shareholders who wish to exercise remote authorization or voting rights must use one of the channels described above before midnight on April 27, the eve of the general assembly on the first call. Shareholders and their representatives aiming to participate electronically must complete registration. Registration is open from 08:00 to 10:15 on April 28.
To speed up the process on the day of the meeting, pre-registration is available through the participation portal on the company website during the five days prior to the event, starting April 23. Those preferring to attend in person can visit the Shareholder Office or access the site until 10:15 on the day of the General Assembly.
In summary, Iberdrola provides multiple, user-friendly avenues for shareholder participation, combining traditional voting methods with modern digital channels to ensure broad access and engagement during the annual gathering. This reflects the company’s commitment to an inclusive governance process and enhanced shareholder communication mechanisms, reinforcing the value placed on investor involvement during key corporate moments.
