The issue of the 450,000,000 0.80 per cent. green senior unsecured guaranteed equity-linked bonds due 2027 (the
"Bonds") was authorised by resolutions of the board of directors of Iberdrola Finanzas, S.A.U. (the "Issuer") passed

Iberdrola, S.A. (the "Guarantor") passed on 18 June 2021 and by resolutions of the board of directors of the
Guarantor passed on 8 November 2022. The Bonds are issued pursuant to a fiscal agency agreement dated 7
December 2022 (the "Agency Agreement") relating to the Bonds between the Issuer, The Bank of New York Mellon,
London Branch as fiscal agent (the "Fiscal Agent", which expression shall include any successor fiscal agent under
the Agency Agreement), the other paying, transfer and conversion agents for the time being (such persons, together
with the Fiscal Agent, being referred to below as the "Paying, Transfer and Conversion Agents", which expression
shall include their successors as Paying, Transfer and Conversion Agents under the Agency Agreement) and The
Bank of New York Mellon SA/NV, Luxembourg Branch as in its capacity as registrar in respect of the Bonds (the
"Registrar", which expression shall include any successor as registrar under the Agency Agreement) and with the
benefit of a deed of covenant (the "Deed of Covenant") executed and delivered by the Issuer dated 7 December
2022 in relation to the Bonds. The Guarantor has, for the benefit of the Bondholders from time to time, executed and
delivered a deed of guarantee dated 7 December 2022 (the "Deed of Guarantee") under which it has guaranteed the
due and punctual payment of all amounts due by the Issuer under the Bonds and the Deed of Covenant as and when
the same shall become due and payable.
The Issuer and the Guarantor have also entered into a calculation agency agreement dated 7 December 2022 (the
"Calculation Agency Agreement") with Conv-Ex Advisors Limited (the "Calculation Agent", which expression
shall include any successor as calculation agent under the Calculation Agency Agreement), whereby the Calculation
Agent has been appointed to make certain calculations in relation to the Bonds from time to time.
The Issuer has executed a deed (escritura publica) (the "Public Deed") before a Spanish public notary in relation to
the Bonds and will register the Public Deed with the Commercial Registry of Biscay. The Public Deed will contain,
among other information, the terms and conditions of the Bonds.

Agreement are available for inspection during normal business hours at the specified offices for the time being of the

Form, Denomination, Title, Status and Guarantee
(a)
Form and Denomination
The Bonds are issued in registered form, serially numbered, in principal amounts of 100,000 each and
integral multiples thereof.
(b)
Title
Title to the Bonds will pass by registration in the register that the Issuer shall procure to be kept by the
Registrar in accordance with the provisions of the Agency Agreement (the "Register"). Except as
otherwise required by law or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, the holder (as defined
below) of any Bond shall be deemed to be and may be treated as its absolute owner for all purposes
(whether or not it is overdue and regardless of any notice of ownership, trust or any interest in it, any
writing on the Certificate representing it or the theft or loss of such Certificate) and no person will be
liable for so treating the holder.
(c)
Status of the Bonds
The Bonds constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (without prejudice to the provisions of
Condition 2) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and (subject to any applicable statutory exceptions and
unless the Bonds qualify by law as subordinated credits (créditos subordinados) under Article 281.1 of
the Legislative Royal Decree 1/2020, of 5 May (Real Decreto Legislative 1/2020, de 5 de mayo, por el
que se aprueba el texto refundido de la Ley Concursal) (as amended from time to time, the "Spanish
Insolvency Law")) will rank (i) pari passu and rateably, without any preference among themselves and
(ii) at least pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and monetary
obligations involving or otherwise related to borrowed money of the Issuer, present and future.
In the event of the insolvency (concurso) of the Issuer, under the Spanish Insolvency Law claims relating
to the Bonds (which are not subordinated pursuant to Article 281.1 of the Spanish Insolvency Law) will
be ordinary credits (creditos ordinarios) as defined in the Spanish Insolvency Law. Ordinary credits rank
below credits against the insolvency estate (creditos contra la masa) and credits with a general or special
privilege (creditos con privilegio general o especial). Ordinary credits rank above subordinated credits
and the rights of shareholders. Interest on the Bonds accrued but unpaid as at the commencement of any
insolvency proceeding (concurso) relating to the Issuer under Spanish law shall thereupon constitute
subordinated obligations of the Issuer ranking below its unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
Under Spanish law, accrual of interest on the Bonds shall be suspended as from the date of any
declaration of insolvency (concurso) of the Issuer.
(d)
Guarantee
The Guarantor has irrevocably guaranteed the due payment of all sums expressed to be payable by the
Issuer under the Bonds.
The obligations of the Guarantor in respect of the Bonds constitute direct, unconditional, unsubordinated
and (without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 2) unsecured obligations of the Guarantor and
(subject to any applicable statutory exceptions and unless such obligations qualify by law as
subordinated credits under Article 281.1 of the Spanish Insolvency Law) will rank at least pari passu
with all other unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness and monetary obligations involving or
otherwise related to borrowed money of the Guarantor, present and future. The obligations of the
Guarantor in that respect (the "Guarantee") are contained in the Deed of Guarantee referred to above.

future to secure any Relevant Indebtedness, or any guarantee of, or indemnity in respect of, any Relevant
Indebtedness;
(b)
each of the Issuer and the Guarantor will procure that no other person creates or permits to subsist any
Security Interest (other than Permitted Security) upon the whole or any part of the undertaking, assets
or revenues present or future of that other person to secure (A) any of the Issuer's Relevant Indebtedness

each of the Issuer and the Guarantor will procure that no person other than the Guarantor gives any
guarantee of, or indemnity in respect of, any of its Relevant Indebtedness,

Guarantor's obligations under the Guarantee (i) are secured equally and rateably therewith or benefit from a
