This meeting is part of a wider series of shareholder events being held across several cities in the run-up to the General Shareholders\u2019 Meeting scheduled for Friday, 29 May.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conference in Bilbao lasted the entire day and brought together nearly a thousand shareholders. Ignacio Gal\u00e1n, along with other members of the company\u2019s executive team, shared updates and engaged directly with attendees. Shareholders were given a clear overview of how the company has transformed over the last 25 years, becoming Europe\u2019s leading electricity company and one of the two largest globally by market capitalisation, now standing at 135 billion euros. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also received a detailed explanation of the main objectives of Iberdrola\u2019s Strategic Plan through 2028, as well as the strong financial performance recorded in the 2025 fiscal year.Building on the positive reception of previous editions, Iberdrola has significantly expanded the scope of these meetings. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the company tripled the number of cities hosting Shareholders\u2019 Days to strengthen engagement and create more opportunities for direct dialogue. In addition to Bilbao, the sessions were held in Madrid, Valencia, Zaragoza, Pamplona and San Sebasti\u00e1n, attracting more than 2,000 shareholders overall.Attendees were also able to visit the \u201c125 Light Years\u201d photography exhibition, which presents a visual journey through Iberdrola\u2019s history and current activities. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition is part of the company\u2019s cultural and musical programme celebrating its centenary. After touring several cities, it arrived in Bilbao with special significance, as it pays tribute to the city where the company was founded and acknowledges its role in Iberdrola\u2019s development over the last century.Looking ahead to the General Shareholders\u2019 Meeting, Iberdrola is offering both in-person and remote participation options. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shareholders can take part through the corporate website, a dedicated helpline, instant messaging, email and postal voting. The company has also streamlined the process by introducing proxy forms that consolidate all of a shareholder\u2019s holdings, regardless of where the shares are kept. These forms include a QR code and an access code to make participation more secure and more convenient.These measures reflect Iberdrola\u2019s ongoing effort to maintain an open, accessible and sustainable model for its annual meetings. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shareholders also continue to have access to permanent communication channels, including the Shareholder Office, the Investor Relations Office and the Virtual Shareholder Assistant.As part of the proposals to be presented at the upcoming General Shareholders\u2019 Meeting, the Board of Directors will recommend approving a supplementary dividend of 0.427 euros per share. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This comes in addition to the interim dividend of 0.253 euros per share that was paid on 2 February. In total, Iberdrola plans to distribute 4.5 billion euros in dividends for the 2025 financial year. The company will also propose paying a participation dividend of 1 euro gross for every 200 shares, provided that the meeting reaches a quorum of at least 70 per cent of the share capital.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n<p>\tDiscover more from SolarQuarter<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Representational image.
