Vodafone Group Plc filed a Form 6-K to disclose its monthly Total Voting Rights update required under the UK FCA’s Disclosure Guidance & Transparency Rule 5.6.1R. As of 31 July 2025 the company’s issued share capital comprises 25,660,391,178 ordinary shares of US$0.20 20/21 each. 1,358,362,688 of those shares are held in treasury and therefore do not carry voting rights. After deducting treasury stock, the total number of voting rights that can be exercised at general meetings is 24,302,028,490.
This figure becomes the denominator for shareholders when calculating whether their holdings cross FCA notification thresholds. The filing contains no financial results, guidance, or strategic updates; it is purely an administrative disclosure to keep the market current on Vodafone’s capital and voting structure.

Vodafone Group Plc (VOD) disclosed under Form 6-K that, on 24 July 2025, it repurchased 1,000,000 ordinary shares at a volume-weighted average price of 86.36 p (high 87.32 p, low 85.66 p) through Goldman Sachs International under the buy-back programme announced the previous day. The shares will be held in treasury.
Post-transaction, Vodafone’s treasury stock rises to 2,122,987,551 shares while shares in issue (ex-treasury) stand at 24,265,298,351. The purchase equates to roughly 0.004 % of issued shares and 0.05 % of existing treasury holdings, implying a negligible effect on EPS or free-float. No financial results, guidance changes or material events accompany the filing.
The filing is primarily administrative, confirming execution details (venue XLON, trade schedule) to meet UK MAR and US SEC transparency requirements. Investor impact is therefore neutral to mildly positive, reflecting routine capital-return activity rather than a strategic shift.
On 23 Jul 2025 Vodafone Group PLC repurchased 9,852,201 ordinary shares (US$0.20 each) from Citigroup Global Markets under the buy-back programme announced 20 May 2025. Prices ranged from 82.80 p to 84.36 p with a volume-weighted average of 83.33 p.
The shares will be held in treasury, lifting Vodafone’s treasury stock to 2,121,987,551 and leaving 24,266,298,351 ordinary shares outstanding. Citi acted as riskless principal and this purchase marks the final tranche of the May 2025 irrevocable programme, which is now completed. No additional financial metrics or guidance were provided.
Vodafone Group Plc has filed a Form 6-K announcing the initiation of a €500 million share repurchase programme that begins 24 July 2025 and will end no later than 10 November 2025.

The buyback is executed under the authority granted at the 2024 AGM, which permits repurchases of up to 4,053,092,397 ordinary shares. Acquired shares will be held in treasury and subsequently cancelled or used for employee share awards, with the stated purpose of reducing Vodafone’s share capital. All transactions will follow UK/EU price and volume limits for buyback programmes.
