Stakeholder relations
Mediaset España, through its investor relations manage-
ment and Shareholders’ Office, has excellent relations
both with institutional investors and private shareholders
and with stock market analysts, following the guidelines
laid down by the National Securities Market Commission
(Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores or CNMV)
for publicly traded companies. It informs its investors of
quarterly results in three ways; by way of the quarterly
presentation of results to the CNMV, by way of the corpo-
rate website
- in Spanish
and English, and by e-mail to all of the shareholders and
analysts who request it.
As a general rule this process is followed by a presenta-
tion of the results which can be followed in real time
by conference call and webcast in order to give the
stakeholders the opportunity to put the questions they
consider appropriate.This information session is recorded
and stored and is available by way of the Mediaset España
website until the following session.
In addition to the regular publication of the quarterly
and annual results Mediaset España has taken part in 16
conferences in the course of 2012 held both in Spain and
in the United Kingdom and the United States dealing with
the companies of the communications media sector and
companies of the Iberian peninsula.
The company has also organised 10 information
breakfasts with Spanish investors, 2 roadshows in the
United Kingdom and the United States and has attended
to institutional investors by way of direct face-to-face
meetings or conference calls. There has been direct
contact with more than 420 investment companies by
way of the 195 meetings held over the year. There were
also, as in the previous year, 35 meetings and conference
calls with the analysts of the various brokers who cover
the company.
The modernisation and updating of the company’s
website was completed at the beginning of 2012 with the
aim of improving the quality of the documents presented
and organising the information more efficiently.The main
objective was to achieve a significant improvement in
access to clear and rapidly available information. The
sections most visited by the more than 5,000 monthly
single users were “who we are”, “financial information”
and “relevant facts”.
As regards the minority shareholders they have been
attended to throughout the year by way of telephone
calls or e-mail, a monthly average of 150 e-mails and 100
telephone calls being received.The main questions of the
minority shareholders have concerned payment of divi-
dends, the holding of the Shareholders’ General Meeting
and information on the company’s share price.
