Vodafone Buys Back 2 Million Shares for Treasury Under Ongoing Programme

The latest announcement is out from Vodafone ( (GB:VOD) ).

Vodafone Group has repurchased 2,000,000 of its ordinary shares from Goldman Sachs International as part of an ongoing share buyback programme initiated in early February. The shares were bought on 6 March at a volume-weighted average price of 107.71 pence and will be held in treasury, lifting Vodafone’s treasury stock to 1.75 billion shares and leaving 23.12 billion shares in issue, signalling continued capital management efforts that can support earnings per share and shareholder value.

The detailed execution, carried out entirely on the XLON trading venue, underscores Vodafone’s systematic approach to its buyback programme and provides investors with transparency on pricing and volumes involved in the latest tranche.
