Following this latest transaction, Vodafone now holds 1,771,441,620 ordinary shares in treasury, with 23,106,519,137 shares remaining in issue excluding treasury stock. The execution via Goldman Sachs as riskless principal highlights the ongoing implementation of Vodafone’s capital management strategy, signalling continued commitment to returning capital to shareholders and actively managing its share capital structure.
