Shareholder's Office

Internal and external information transparency

The "You First" programme has been used for several years to ensure that news about items such as dividend payments, quarterly results or significant event notices about the Bank published with the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) reach Bankinter shareholders before they are seen by anybody else.

This programme is one of the main responsibilities of the Shareholder's Office, in addition to responding to proposals and clarifications requested regarding the current or historical share price, the amounts and dates of dividend payments, the contents of the corporate report or the details of the Annual General Meeting.

Additionally, the Office has two other key objectives: generating internal information for managers and supervisors about shareholder composition and ensuring adherence to the Code of Conduct for the Securities Market, which the Bank's employees must observe with regard to Bankinter's actions.

In relation to the contracting and reporting processes, the bank operates in full harmony with the rest of the European markets, following the implementation in Spain of the Reform of the Securities Clearing, Settlement and Registration System.
