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:
●
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.
●
This final settlement does not constitute any net cash
payment by Vodafone as Vi will settle €219 million of
outstanding Vodafone Group service charges.
Both the outstanding Vodafone
Group service charges and Vodafone's investment in Vi shares are
carried at nil value in the Vodafone balance sheet.
●
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.
