To the National Securities Market Commission

Subject: Other relevant information / Terms and conditions of the second edition of the "Iberdrola Retribución Flexible" optional dividend system corresponding to the fiscal year 2020

Pursuant to article 227 of the restated text of the Securities Market Law approved by the Royal Legislative Decree 4/2015, of 23 October (texto refundido de la Ley del Mercado de Valores aprobado por el Real Decreto Legislativo 4/2015, de 23 de octubre) and related provisions, we hereby inform you that the Board of Directors of Iberdrola, S.A. ("Iberdrola" or the "Company") resolved yesterday to carry out the second edition of the "Iberdrola Retribución Flexible" optional dividend system corresponding to the fiscal year 2020.

For such purposes, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved: (a) to carry out the paid-up capital increase approved by the shareholders acting at the General Shareholders' Meeting of Iberdrola held on 2 April 2020 under item number fourteen of its agenda (the "Capital Increase"), all of which also pursuant to the section titled «Common terms and conditions of the dividend distribution and increase in capital resolutions proposed under items number twelve, thirteen and fourteen on the agenda, by virtue of which the "Iberdrola Flexible Remuneration" optional dividend system is implemented» included among the proposed resolutions that were submitted to the approval of the abovementioned General Shareholders' Meeting; and (b) the distribution of the interim dividend corresponding to the fiscal year 2020, subject, in any event, to the fulfilment of the requirements set out in article 277 of the Spanish Companies Act -Ley de Sociedades de Capital- (the "Interim Dividend"). The Company is expected to attest the fulfilment of these requirements during December 2020 and this will be published by means of a notice of other significant information (comunicación de otra información relevante).

As is customary, in this edition of the "Iberdrola Retribución Flexible" optional dividend system, the Company's shareholders will be entitled to choose between the following options:

  1. receive their remuneration through the delivery of fully paid-up new shares;
  2. transfer all or a part of their free allocation rights in the market; or
  3. receive their remuneration in cash by means of the Interim Dividend.

Likewise, the shareholders of the Company will be able to combine any of the alternatives mentioned in paragraphs (i) through (iii) above with respect to the different groups of shares owned by each shareholder.

The value of the remuneration that the shareholders will receive under options (i) and (iii) 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, 0.168 euros.

If the requirements set out in article 277 of the Spanish Companies Act for the distribution of the Interim Dividend are not fulfilled, the conditional approval of such distribution would therefore be ineffective. In such a case and in order to guarantee that, in the context of this second edition of the "Iberdrola Retribución Flexible" optional dividend system corresponding to the fiscal year 2020, the shareholders of the Company will be entitled to receive in cash -in part or in full- their remuneration, the Company would undertake the irrevocable commitment to acquire the free allocation rights resulting from the Capital Increase at a fixed guaranteed price (the "Purchase Commitment" and the "Fixed Purchase Price", respectively).

Thus, in that event, the shareholders of the Company would be able to monetize their free allocation rights by transferring them to the Company at the Fixed Purchase Price receiving, in such a way, a cash amount equivalent to the one that would have been distributed by the Company as Interim Dividend. In that case, the shareholders of the Company would only be entitled to choose between (i) receiving their remuneration as completely paid-up new shares of the Company; (ii) transferring all or part of their free allocation rights in the market; or (iii) transferring all or part of their free allocation rights to the Company at the Fixed Purchase Price pursuant to the Purchase Commitment assumed by the Company. In this case, the Company's Board of Directors, during December 2020, would determine the terms and conditions under which the Company would assume the Purchase Commitment. If the Company verifies that the requirements set out in article 277 of the Spanish Companies Act for the distribution of the Interim Dividend are not fulfilled, it will inform the market about that circumstance through a notice of other significant information (comunicación de otra información relevante).

For the purposes of article 1.5.(g) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 14 June 2017, on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71/EC, we provide you, enclosed hereto as Annex 1, with the information memorandum (documento informativo) regarding the implementation of this edition of the "Iberdrola Retribución Flexible" optional dividend system approved yesterday by the Board of Directors of Iberdrola.

This information is provided to you for the appropriate purposes.
