Vodafone Group Plc (“Vodafone”) has completed the sale of 100% of Vodafone New Zealand Limited (“VFNZ”) to a consortium comprising Infratil Limited and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. for a cash consideration equivalent to an Enterprise Value of NZ$3.4bn (€2.1bn1 ), implying an FY’19 multiple of 7.3x Adjusted EBITDA2 and 16.2x Adjusted OpFCF3 .4

I am pleased we will continue our 21-year relationship with the business and talented team in New Zealand through a Partner Market agreement, delivering Vodafone’s technology and services to benefit the country as it transitions to a digital society.”

2 Net of pro-forma Vodafone Partner Market Agreement service fees

3 Adjusted OpFCF defined as Adjusted EBITDA minus capex
