Notes: 1. All: Single (or unpaired) blocks of spectrum are used for asymmetric data (non-voice) use; block quantity has been rounded to the nearest whole number. 2. Multiple: Blocks within the same spectrum band but with different licence expiry dates or non-contiguous are separately identified. 3. UK: all UK spectrum licences are perpetual so any dates given are the ones from which licence fees become payable, and where no date is given this means that licence fees already apply. 4. UK: Spectrum to be acquired by VMO2 subject to availability as part of the extended Network Sharing Agreement following the VodafoneThree merger. 5. Ireland: 105MHz in cities, 85MHz in regions. 6. Albania: As part of the merger remedies from the ONE-ALBtelecom merger, Vodafone acquired the following spectrum from the merged entity effective 1 May 2023: 2X4.5 MHz of 1800 MHz expiring June 2024; 2X7.2 MHz of 1800 MHz expiring March 2034; 2X5 MHz of 2.1 GHz expiring June 2026; and 2X20 MHz of 2.6 GHz expiring May 2031. 7. South Africa: Under South Africa’s licensing regime, Vodacom has been assigned a network and service operating licence. This operating licence permits Vodacom to be assigned spectrum licences which are valid for the duration of the operating licence, subject to annual renewal through the payment of annual spectrum usage regulatory fees. Vodacom’s operating licence will expire in 2029. 8. South Africa: South African Regulator has indicated that it has approved Vodacom’s 2100MHz license amendment which effectively returns the 2100TDD spectrum.
9. Lesotho: Vodacom’s Lesotho spectrum licences are attached to a unified services license and renewed annually. 10. Mozambique: 3.5GHz spectrum for 5G trial. 2x5 of 2.1GHz and 2x5 of 1800MHz have been acquired and expires in 2039. A further 2x2MHz of 900MHz was also acquired expiring in line with the overall unified license.
