MADRID, July 15 (EUROPA PRESS) –
43.3% of ACS shareholders have opted to receive the next dividend to be delivered by the company in cash, amounting to 1.48 euros per share, for which the remaining 56.7% will receive new company shares in a ratio of one new share for every 15 current shares.

The maximum outlay for the company in order to meet this payment was set at 460 million euros, an amount that will be paid from voluntary reserves, a cash that now amounts to 2,900 million euros.
The payment for July last year was 1.27 euros per share, so this year’s payment will be 16.5% higher. The objective of the company chaired by Florentino Perez is to reach 2 euros per share, after adding a second dividend that will be delivered in January of next year and that will mean a new capital increase for a maximum amount of 140 million euros.
