Transaction in Own Shares

Vodafone announces that it has purchased the following number of its ordinary shares of 2020/21 US cents on Exchange (as defined in the Rules of the London Stock Exchange) from Goldman Sachs International ('Goldman Sachs') as part of its buy-back programme announced on 16 November 2022 (the 'Programme'). The sole purpose of this Programme is to reduce the issued share capital of Vodafone to offset the increase in the issued share capital as a result of the maturing of the second tranche of a two-tranche mandatory convertible bond ('MCB') issued by Vodafone in March 2019. Following completion of the Programme, the increase in the issued share capital as a result of the maturing of the second tranche of the MCB will be fully offset.

Vodafone intends to hold the purchased shares in treasury. Following the purchase of these shares, Vodafone holds 1,693,561,270 of its ordinary shares in treasury and has 27,124,694,788 ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares).

As part of the Programme, Goldman Sachs purchases Vodafone (213800TB53ELEUKM7Q61) ordinary shares and sells such shares to Vodafone. In connection with the above purchases, on 15 February 2023 Goldman Sachs (as principal) elected to purchase 172,918 Vodafone ordinary shares to sell to Vodafone. A schedule of individual trades carried out by Goldman Sachs on 15 February 2023 is set out below.
