Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total maximum cash amount authorized for the First Tranche to confirm the remaining buyback capacity (approx. 75.30% remaining).
- Confirm the exact number of shares repurchased, as the filing only discloses the total cash value (€246,999,722.12).
- Review the original Spanish filing for any discrepancies, as the English version is a translation for information purposes only.
- Check subsequent filings for the execution of the remaining tranches of the buyback program.
