The Board of Directors of Merlin has agreed to distribute next December 10 an interim dividend on the results for fiscal year 2026 for a fixed amount of 20 euro cents gross per share for all shares outstanding with the right to receive it, as it has notified this Thursday to the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV).
This payment will involve a total outlay of 112.563 million euros for the company.
The dividend amount is identical to that of the interim payment corresponding to the previous fiscal year.
In this context, the determination date of the registered shareholders entitled to receive the dividend, the “record date,” has been set for November 23, 2026, while the effective payment will take place on December 10 of this year.
Likewise, the last trading day on which the shares may be traded with the right to a dividend, the “last trading date,” will be November 19, and from November 20, also in 2026, the shares will be listed without the right to receive it, the “ex date.”
The gross dividend per share will be subject to the current tax withholding of 19%, which translates into a net amount of 0.162 euros per share, and the payment will be routed through the participating entities in Iberclear, with Banco Santander acting as paying agent.
