Vodafone announces that it has purchased the following number of its ordinary shares of 20 ^20/21 US cents on Exchange (as defined in the Rules of the London Stock Exchange) from Goldman Sachs International ('Goldman Sachs') as part of its buy-back programme announced on 16 November 2022 (the 'Programme').
