VODAFONE CLOSES US$2.45 BILLION HYBRID SECURITIES
OFFERING
On 4 June 2021, Vodafone Group Plc (“Vodafone”) closed a
US$2.45 billion hybrid securities offering. The securities are due
on 4 June 2081. Vodafone has applied to list the securities on
the Nasdaq Global Market.
Vodafone has generated net proceeds of U.S.$2,432,850,000 from the
sale of the hybrid securities. Vodafone intends to use these net
proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include funding
repurchases of ordinary shares issued in connection with the
£1,720,000,000 1.50% Subordinated Mandatory Convertible Bonds due
2022.
This announcement contains “forward-looking statements” within
the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 with respect to the use of proceeds from Vodafone’s
SEC-registered capital securities offering. By their nature,
forward-looking statements are inherently predictive, speculative
and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and
depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a
number of factors that could cause actual results and developments
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements. A review of the reasons why actual
results and developments may differ materially from the
expectations disclosed or implied within forward-looking statements
can be found by referring to the information contained under the
heading “Principal risk factors and uncertainties” beginning on
page 62 of Vodafone’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the
financial year ended 31 March 2020, ‘‘Risk Factors’’ beginning
on page 42 of Vodafone’s Half-Year Report for the six months
ended 30 September 2020 and “Risk Factors” beginning on
page 39 of Vodafone’s Preliminary Results for the financial
year ended 31 March 2021. The Half-Year Report and the Annual
Report on Form 20-F can be found on Vodafone’s website
(www.vodafone.com/investor). Except as otherwise stated herein and
as may be required to comply with applicable law and regulations,
Vodafone does not intend to update these forward-looking statements
and does not undertake any obligation to do so.
