2023 General Shareholders' Meeting Participation Portal
Discover the Participation Portal
The General Shareholders' Meeting of Iberdrola was held in hybrid form, on Friday 28 April 2023, with attendance in person at the registered office (Bilbao, plaza Euskadi, 5) and telematic attendance at first call.
What credentials/information are needed to access the portal?
Individual shareholders can be authenticated with their OLS - Shareholders' Club password, with their total number of shares (adding those held as holder or co-holder), with a recognised electronic certificate from the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre (FNMT) or with their DNIe (Spanish National Identity Card).
Furthermore, shareholders who are members of the OLS – Shareholders’ Club, or whose shares are held at deposited with bank entities that provide Iberdrola with the e-mail address of their customers, may also authenticate themselves by entering the QR code included in the proxy and absentee voting card sent by Iberdrola by e-mail. See demo video.
Shareholders who are legal entities must authenticate with a recognised electronic signature issued by the FNMT. Representatives of legal entities without a recognised electronic signature may grant a proxy or cast an absentee vote through the Participation Portal by submitting an image of the proxy and absentee voting card and by accrediting their authority to attend the General Meeting by submitting a scanned copy of the card and their power of attorney.
Proxy representatives can log in to the Participation Portal and send a scanned copy of the card signed by the shareholder they represent to verify that they have been granted their proxy. Once verified, the proxy representatives will receive a proxy code with which they can be authenticated.

What else does the Participation Portal offer?
Proof of participation

This request can be made from the date on which their participation in the General Meeting has been recorded in the Company’s systems up to one month after the meeting has been held.
In addition, the registration of participation via the Participation Portal (proxy or electronic vote) is ssecurely recorded and verifiable through blockchain technology, which ensures the traceability and immutability of the data recorded. Each vote and electronic proxy is immutably stored and encrypted on the blockchain network, thus ensuring its confidentiality. See more about blockchain at the 2023 Meeting.
Proxies and absentee votes are counted subject to verification by the Company of the number of shares registered in the holder’s name five days prior to the General Meeting.
