Market Chatter: Vodafone Group Launches $2.34 Billion Debt Tender Offer, Releases Terms for New Bond Offering

BY MT Newswires | CORPORATE | 06/30/25 07:00 AM EDT

07:00 AM EDT, 06/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Vodafone Group (VOD) launched an up to 2 billion euro ($2.34 billion) multi-currency debt tender and released initial terms for a multi-tranche offering of euro and sterling benchmark bonds, Bloomberg News reported Monday.

The company wants to raise three benchmark bonds in euros and one sterling-denominated benchmark note, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.

The euro-denominated tranches include a four-year, eight-year and 13-year note, while the British pound-denominated tranche is a 25-year note, the person said.

This comes as Vodafone is looking to buy back its existing debt securities denominated in US dollars and British pounds, with maturities going up to 2059, through concurrent tender offers, according to the report.

The tender offer is expected to end on July 29, with an early settlement date of July 17, Bloomberg said.

Vodafone did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment on the matter.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
