This Report on Form 6-K contains a Stock Exchange Announcement dated 31 December 2025 entitled 'Vodafone reaches agreement with Vi on CLAM'.

 **31 DECEMBER 2025 \| LONDON, UK**

Vodafone reaches agreement with Vi on CLAM

Vodafone Group Plc ("Vodafone") announces that it has reached an agreement with Vodafone Idea Limited ("Vi") in relation to the final amount payable under the Contingent Liability Adjustment Mechanism ("CLAM"), which is due to expire on 31 December 2025, as well as an agreement for Vi to settle outstanding Vodafone Group service charges. This closes all material open issues between Vodafone and Vi.

The CLAM was entered into at the time of the 2017 merger agreement between Vodafone India and Idea Cellular and covers pre-merger contingent liabilities in relation to legal, regulatory, tax and other matters of the two merging parties. Under the CLAM, Vodafone's maximum exposure was capped at INR 83.69 billion (€793 million) at the time of the merger and taking into account payments already made, the reduced exposure was capped at INR 63.94 billion (€606 million).

As a result of this agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● Vodafone Group will fully settle the CLAM through: (i) a cash payment of €219 million and (ii) setting aside 3,280 million of Vodafone Group's shares in Vi for Vi's benefit. Vi will have the right to instruct Vodafone to sell these shares, in one or more tranches, with any cash proceeds being transferred to Vi.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● This final settlement does not constitute any net cash payment by Vodafone as Vi will settle €219 million of outstanding Vodafone Group service charges.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Both the outstanding Vodafone Group service charges and Vodafone's investment in Vi shares are carried at nil value in the Vodafone balance sheet.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● Vodafone Group currently has a 16.07% shareholding in Vi and the shares being set aside are equivalent to a 3.03% shareholding in Vi.
