ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2024
Dear Shareholder:
I am pleased to inform you that our 2024 annual general shareholders’ meeting will be held on 22 March at 9.30 am CET at Santander Group City (Boadilla del Monte, Madrid).
As a shareholder, your involvement in the bank’s decision-making process is essential in ensuring that Santander continues to help people and businesses prosper. And more so in a pivotal year like 2023, in which the bank delivered record results and met all our targets to which it had committed itself to the market.

Boadilla del Monte, Madrid.
I would like to personally encourage you to participate by giving your voting instructions regarding the proposals submitted to the general meeting, including among other matters, the latest annual financial statements, the bank’s corporate management and the accounts to apply the shareholder remuneration policy.
If application of the results is approved at the meeting, Santander will return €5.5 billion1 to shareholders from 2023 earnings, split in approximately equal parts in cash dividends and share buybacks. We are focused on delivering in the near-term while driving sustainable earnings growth for the future, and I am confident that 2024 will be even better for Santander.
1. The bank’s shareholder remuneration policy is approximately 50% payout of the group net attributable profit (excluding the impacts that do not affect cash or capital ratios directly), split in approximately equal parts in cash dividends and share buybacks. Implementation of this policy is subject to future corporate and regulatory decisions and approvals.
To make it easy for you to participate, we provide a number of different channels so that you can choose the one that best suits you:

Yours faithfully,
