(PRESS RELEASE) BILBAO, 15-May-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Iberdrola has hosted a new edition of its Shareholders’ Day in Madrid as part of a broader nationwide initiative aimed at strengthening engagement with investors ahead of the company’s General Shareholders’ Meeting scheduled for 29 May. The meetings, which are being held across several Spanish cities, have become an important platform for direct interaction between the company’s management and shareholders.

The utility group significantly expanded the initiative this year, tripling the number of cities included in the programme compared with previous editions. The events have already taken place in Valencia, Zaragoza, Pamplona and San Sebastián, while Bilbao is set to host the final gathering on 26 May. Iberdrola expects attendance to surpass 2,000 shareholders overall.

During the Madrid event, the company highlighted its ongoing transformation and long-term strategic vision as part of celebrations marking Iberdrola’s 125th anniversary. Shareholders were presented with an overview of the company’s evolution from its origins in the early 20th century to its current position as one of the world’s leading energy groups. The presentations also focused on the company’s Strategic Plan 2025–2028 and its financial performance during 2025, when Iberdrola reported record profits exceeding €6.2 billion.

Several senior executives participated in the event, including Director of Investor Relations Ignacio Cuenca, Corporate Sustainability Director Roberto Fernández Albendea, Iberdrola España CEO Mario Ruiz-Tagle, Global Director of Resources and Services Asís Canales, and Chairman’s Advisor Rafael Orbegozo. Executives discussed the company’s strategic priorities, sustainability initiatives and long-term growth plans while answering questions from shareholders in person.

The Shareholders’ Day events are designed not only to provide updates on the company’s progress and future outlook but also to encourage greater participation in corporate governance activities. Shareholders attending the sessions are able to interact directly with management teams, receive information about voting procedures for the upcoming General Shareholders’ Meeting and collect the company’s traditional commemorative gift.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, Iberdrola also unveiled its “125 Years of Light” exhibition in Madrid. The exhibition traces the company’s history through photographs, videos and archival materials documenting its transformation over more than a century. Historical images include the creation of Hidroeléctrica Ibérica, one of the foundations of the present-day group, as well as early electricity infrastructure projects and industrial developments linked to Spain’s electrification.

The exhibition also showcases more recent milestones in Iberdrola’s international growth and renewable energy expansion, reflecting the company’s transition from a traditional electricity provider into a global clean energy and infrastructure group.

Ahead of the General Shareholders’ Meeting, Iberdrola has continued promoting its hybrid participation model, allowing shareholders to attend either in person or remotely. The company has expanded digital and remote participation channels through its corporate website, instant messaging services, postal voting, email systems and the Shareholder Helpline. Proxy voting procedures have also been simplified through consolidated voting cards and QR code-based security systems.

The company stated that these measures form part of its broader strategy to maintain an open, accessible and sustainable governance model supported by permanent communication channels such as the Shareholder’s Office, Investor Relations Office and Virtual Shareholder Assistant.

As part of the agenda for the upcoming General Shareholders’ Meeting, Iberdrola’s Board of Directors is proposing a final dividend payment of €0.427 per share, complementing the interim dividend of €0.253 per share already distributed in February. Combined, the company plans to allocate approximately €4.5 billion in shareholder remuneration for the 2025 financial year.

The company is also proposing an additional engagement dividend of €1 gross for every 200 shares, subject to the General Shareholders’ Meeting achieving a participation quorum representing at least 70% of share capital.
