IBERDROLA today informed of the number of subscription rights required to obtain one new share in the company, against the Group´s 2012 financial results and through the seventh edition of the Iberdrola Flexible Dividend plan, which offers all its shareholders the possibility of obtaining shares at no cost.

Shareholders wishing to receive the final dividend payment in Company shares must hold 30 subscription rights in order to obtain one new IBERDROLA share.

The Iberdrola Flexible Dividend plan also allows shareholders to receive the remuneration in cash by selling their rights to IBERDROLA (at a guaranteed fixed price) or on the open market. If they take the first option the company offers a guaranteed price of €0.130 per share, with a withholding tax of 21% applicable. Shareholders who prefer to sell their rights in the market will have no fiscal retention, but neither will they benefit from a fixed guaranteed price.

As usual, the default option in this new edition of the Iberdrola Flexible Dividend plan will be the delivery of a new IBERDROLA share for every 30 free-of-charge subscription rights. Shareholders who opt to receive their compensation in cash must sell their rights to the Company between the 3rd and 12th of July, or on the open market between the 3rd and 17th of July.

In addition to the guaranteed price offered by IBERDROLA and the €0.143 per share paid in January, shareholders will receive a cash dividend of €0.03 per share. The Company thereby maintains shareholder remuneration against 2012 earnings at €0.30 per share.
