Agreed. I’ve been seduced by the yield on offer from VOD, which is on shaky grounds anyway imho, more than once. No more. The monies released were invested in two solar income funds, BSIF and FSFL.

Re: Vodafone Group PLC (VOD)
It seems the above hasn't been well received, with the VOD SP being down 2.6% as I type. As I mentioned hereabouts the other day, I've sold my VOD holdings. No regrets from me TBH.

Thanks Lorna. I have been in and out of VOD over the years, but the company debt etc got to me in the end. I did lose out on the sale though tbh, but I bit the bullet anyway. Good luck to holders, but I feel better being out of it. Imho the dividend yield they offered always seemed to good to be true.

Re: Vodafone Group PLC (VOD)
An abysmal share which can't even cover its own dividend - a cut must be on the cards, again....
Sold out a while ago, never regretted it - way too much debt.

Re: Vodafone Group PLC (VOD)
Vodafone initiates squeeze-out of minority shareholders in KDG.
https://www.investegate.co.uk/vodafone- ... 31276417U/
Ian (I hold).
Vodafone Group Plc ("Vodafone Group") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Vodafone Vierte Verwaltungs AG ("Vodafone KDG") (together, "Vodafone") announce today the initiation of procedures for a statutory merger and squeeze-out of minority shareholders in Kabel Deutschland Holding AG ("KDG"). Vodafone KDG will acquire the shares of all KDG minority shareholders, and KDG will be merged into Vodafone KDG. Completion is targeted before the end of the FY24 fiscal year.
As of 30 September 2022, Vodafone owned 93.8% of KDG's share capital and, under the terms of a domination and profit and loss transfer agreement (the "DPLTA"), Vodafone has agreed to pay minority shareholders in KDG an annually recurring net compensation of €3.17 per KDG share in cash, and also agreed to purchase, upon demand, minority shareholders' KDG shares in cash (the "Put Option") at a price that increases every year. Consequently, the current effective cost of funding for Vodafone is 6.6%, which is significantly higher than its borrowing cost. For further details on the DPLTA please see 'Background to the Offer' in https://investors.vodafone.com/KDG_DPLTA .
