Millennium bursts into the capital of Acciona with a stake of more than 1%

MADRID, 30 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Millennium Management has acquired 1% of Acciona's capital for around 100 million euros, according to the company's current listing price, which has allowed it to become the only significant shareholder together with the Entrecanales family.

According to the records of the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV), the US fund, which adds more than 50,000 million euros in assets under management, has emerged this participation after crossing the 1% threshold on May 26 .

However, it is a package of shares acquired through financial instruments. Specifically, it has incorporated 560,000 titles in 'equity swaps', with cash settlement, into the balance of its investment funds.

Millennium thus becomes the third largest shareholder of the Spanish energy and construction group, only behind the investment of the Entrecanales family, structured through two companies: Tussen de Grachten, with 29% of the capital, and Wit Europese, with 26%.

Acciona shareholders will soon receive a dividend of 4.1 euros per share, which will represent a growth of 5% compared to the 3.9 euros that were delivered in 2020, also being the highest dividend delivered since 2014 , since in recent years it has always moved between 1.9 and 3.9 euros per share.
