What is the "Iberdrola Retribución Flexible" system?

All the information about the optional dividend system

The optional dividend system "Iberdrola Retribución Flexible" offers shareholders the option to choose whether they prefer to receive all or part of their remuneration in new shares of the company or in cash.  

This system is implemented through a capital increase charged to reserves and the payment of a cash dividend. All shareholders receive a free allocation right for each share they hold on the reference date, and those who wish to receive the dividend in cash must expressly waive these rights. 

As a result, on the January 2026 edition of the "Iberdrola Retribución Flexible" optional dividend the shareholders will be able to choose from the following remuneration options(1):  

a) Receive free newly issued shares;  

b) Receive cash by selling all of a portion of the free allocation rights in the market;  

c) Receive cash by means of the payment of the Interim Dividend for 2025.  

Shareholders will be able to combine any of the options mentioned above with respect to the different groups of shares owned by each shareholder.

The value of the remuneration that shareholders will receive under options (a) and (c) above will be equivalent (in terms of market value and notwithstanding the tax treatment applicable to each of them).  

Iberdrola estimates that the gross amount of the Interim Dividend per share will be, at least, 0.250 euros.

1We recommend checking the deadlines for each option with your bank as they may have specific details.
