TELEFONICA SA
TELEFONICA SA is a Private limited company (Ltd.) registered in Spain under A28015865, and its current status with Colegio de Registradores / Registro Mercantil Central is active. The company was incorporated on 1 January 1924 and lists its registered address as Madrid, Spain. 5 shareholders are on record for TELEFONICA SA, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Colegio de Registradores / Registro Mercantil Central and was last updated on 15 September 2026.

Shareholders
5
Five shareholders are currently on record for TELEFONICA SA, reflecting the Libro Registro de Socios (shareholder registry book) maintained under Article 104 of the Ley de Sociedades de Capital rather than a public filing.
The largest of these is iShares Trust-iShares International Select Dividend ETF, holding 14.4% — the largest recorded stake — followed by VANGUARD Intl Eqy. INDEX Fd.S-Vanguard European Stock Index Fd. at 3%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes.
The register reports 22 shareholders in total, though only the top 5 by holding are shown in this view.
Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Officers
5
The Ceo & Executive Chairman of TELEFONICA SA on record is Jose Alvarez-Pallete Lopez; 5 officers are shown here, filed with Colegio de Registradores / Registro Mercantil Central.
The register reports 38 officers in total, including past appointments, though only the 5 most relevant records are shown here.
Management authority at TELEFONICA SA sits with these individuals, not with shareholders, who are covered separately and hold ownership rather than control.
The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Group Structure
TELEFONICA SA has no recorded parent company — it sits at the top of its own group structure, with 50 subsidiaries recorded beneath it across 12 jurisdictions. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 50 subsidiaries span Spain, Netherlands, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, Luxembourg, and 6 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. 22 of the 50 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
