Vodafone Group Plc continued its ongoing share buyback programme by repurchasing 1,322,000 ordinary shares on 01 April 2026 via Goldman Sachs International at a volume-weighted average price of 114.27 pence. The company intends to hold these shares in treasury, bringing its treasury stock to 1,242,586,296 shares and leaving 23,085,792,293 shares in issue, a move that marginally reduces free float and can support earnings per share and capital return objectives.

This continued execution under previously announced instructions signals Vodafone’s commitment to active capital management, potentially boosting shareholder value and underscoring confidence in its balance sheet and long-term strategy.
