1 / 4 FERROVIAL SE ANNOUNCES A SECOND INTERIM SCRIP DIVIDEND Amsterdam, 28 October 2024 – Ferrovial SE ("Ferrovial", Ticker: "FER") declares an interim scrip dividend of in aggregate EUR 330 million, payable in cash or shares at the election of Ferrovial's shareholders, against Ferrovial's reserves. The dividend per Ferrovial share will be determined based on the number of the shares outstanding on the relevant ex-dividend date and will be announced on 7 November 2024. Ferrovial shares will trade ex-dividend as of 6 November 2024 (the "European Ex-Dividend Date") on the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia stock exchanges (the "Spanish Stock Exchanges") and Euronext Amsterdam, a regulated market of Euronext Amsterdam N.V. ("Euronext Amsterdam"), and as of 7 November 2024 (the "US Ex-Dividend Date") on Nasdaq’s Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”). In compliance with applicable listing requirements, the dividend record date will be 7 November 2024. The number of existing Ferrovial shares entitled to one new Ferrovial share (the "Ratio") will be determined based on the volume weighted average price of all traded Ferrovial shares on the Spanish Stock Exchanges on 20, 21 and 22 November 2024. Ferrovial will calculate the Ratio such that the gross EUR value of dividend in shares will be approximately equal to the gross dividend in cash. The Ratio and the number of new Ferrovial shares to be issued in connection with the scrip dividend will be announced on 11 December 2024. Ferrovial shareholders are given the opportunity to indicate their election between cash and new Ferrovial shares, as of 8 November 2024 until: (1) 22 November 2024 (5:30 pm Central European Time, "CET"), in relation to Ferrovial shares held through a custodian as a participant in (i) Nederlands Centraal Instituut voor Giraal Effectenverkeer B.V. ("Euroclear Nederland"), or (ii) Sociedad de Gestión de los Sistemas de Registro, Compensación y Liquidación de Valores, S.A. Unipersonal ("Iberclear"); and (2) 22 November 2024 (5:00 pm Eastern Time, "ET"), in relation to Ferrovial shares held through a custodian as a participant in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), or as a holder of shares in registered form directly on the share register of Ferrovial ("Registered Form"). If no election is made during the relevant election period, an election for a dividend in shares will be deemed to have been made and the dividend will consequently be paid in shares.
2 / 4 Distributions in cash, including settlement of share fractions in cash, where applicable, will be made in EUR, other than to Ferrovial shareholders who hold their shares (i) through custodians as participants directly in DTC, or (ii) in Registered Form, who will be paid in USD at the USD/EUR rate as per the BFIX: Bloomberg FX Fixings Frankfurt 2:00 pm fixing of 22 November 2024. Dividends in cash, where applicable, are in principle subject to 15% Dutch dividend withholding tax, which will be deducted from the cash amount to be paid. Dividends in the form of new Ferrovial shares, which will be paid up from Ferrovial's reserves, are in principle subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax, but only in respect of the nominal value of such new shares (which value amounts to EUR 0.01 per share). Ferrovial will bear the Dutch dividend withholding tax in respect of such dividends in the form of Ferrovial shares, which will amount to 17.65% on EUR 0.01 per scrip share. If you are entitled to an exemption from Dutch dividend withholding tax on the cash dividend, please contact your bank or broker to receive the full distribution on the dividend payment date as set out below. In addition, local tax withholding may be applicable depending on the tax residency of the shareholders. Additional information about the tax consequences of the scrip dividend can be found at www.ferrovial.com/en/ir-shareholders/share-information/shareholder- remuneration/flexible-dividend/. Ferrovial shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding these tax consequences in any relevant jurisdictions, including whether they may be entitled to an exemption from Dutch dividend withholding tax or can credit such tax. Newly issued Ferrovial shares will rank pari passu in all respects with Ferrovial's existing shares.
