Vodafone Group Plc has exercised its call option on its £500,000,000 Capital Securities due 3 October 2078. All outstanding securities will be redeemed on 3 October 2025 at their principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Redemption payments will be processed through Euroclear Bank SA/NV and Clearstream Banking S.A. in line with their standard procedures. Vodafone has also asked the UK Financial Conduct Authority to cancel the listing of these securities on the redemption date, so they will no longer be listed after the repayment.
Vodafone Group PLC filed a Form 6-K containing a Stock Exchange Announcement titled Director/PDMR Shareholding reporting that a person discharging managerial responsibilities sold shares in the company on 18 August 2025. The disclosed sale price was GBP 0.868. The report is dated 19 August 2025 and is signed by the Group General Counsel and Company Secretary. The announcement includes Vodafone contact details and links for investor relations and media.
Vodafone Group's chair, Jean-François van Boxmeer, acquired 30,298 ordinary shares through the company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan at a price of GBP 0.82 per share, for an aggregated cost of GBP 24,844.36. The purchase was executed on the London Stock Exchange and recorded as a director/PDMR transaction.
This is a routine reinvestment of dividends rather than an open-market directional purchase; it increases the chair's shareholding modestly and demonstrates continued participation in the company's automatic dividend reinvestment programme. The size of the transaction is small relative to Vodafone's market capitalization and does not imply material change to capital structure or control.
Vodafone Group Plc (VOD) has filed a Form 6-K disclosing insider share purchases under its Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP).

On the same date, Lady Anna Carter — a person closely associated with Non-Executive Director Stephen A. Carter CBE — bought 2,742 shares at GBP 0.82523, totaling GBP 2,262.78. All trades were executed on the London Stock Exchange (XLON) and were notified as initial disclosures.
No other material events, financial results, or strategic developments are included in this report. The amounts purchased represent immaterial ownership changes relative to Vodafone’s large share base but nonetheless demonstrate continued insider participation in the company’s dividend program.
