Welcome to our dedicated page for Vodafone Group Plc SEC filings (Ticker: VOD), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Vodafone Group PLC filings document the disclosure record of a UK-based foreign private issuer with mobile, broadband, IoT, subsea cable, satellite communications and African financial-services operations. Its Form 6-K reports furnish London Stock Exchange announcements that are incorporated by reference into registration statements, while Form 20-F status establishes its annual reporting framework in the United States.
The filings cover ordinary-share capital, treasury shares, total voting rights, block admissions under the Vodafone Group Plc Global Incentive Plan 2023 and AirTouch 1999 Exchange Programme, major holding notifications, debt redemption notices and Form 25 delisting records for specific notes. They also record material corporate announcements, including developments tied to the VodafoneThree UK business, without replacing the company's broader telecom operating profile.
On 25 July 2025, Vodafone Group Plc filed a Form 6-K titled “Transaction in Own Shares”. The company cancelled 728,322,534 treasury ordinary shares of US$0.20 20/21 each.
- Treasury shares after cancellation: 1,394,665,017
- Total issued share capital (one vote per share): 24,265,298,351 ordinary shares
The revised share-count is the figure shareholders must use when assessing notification thresholds under the UK FCA Disclosure & Transparency Rules. The announcement complies with UK Listing Rule 9.8.2 and contains no additional financial or operational data.
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.

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.

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.
