Vodafone Group Plc today confirms that it has completed the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Grupo Corporativo Ono, S.A.. The total consideration is equivalent to €7.2 billion (£5.7 billion) on a debt and cash free basis.

The transaction accelerates Vodafone's unified communications strategy in a key, highly converged European market, providing a significant time-to-market advantage and network reach that is complementary to Vodafone Spain's ongoing fibre-to-the-home build programme with Orange.
