Notes:
1 Identiable intangible assets of £1,641 million consisted of customer relationships of £1,522 million, brand of £18 million and software of £101 million.
2 Non-controlling interests have been measured using the net fair value of the identiable assets acquired, liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed.
3 The goodwill is principally attributable to cost and capital expenditure synergies expected to arise from the combination of the acquired business and the Group’s existing operations in Germany,
and further revenue synergies from cross-selling to the respective customer base, together with improved customer loyalty given the wider unied service offering.
4 Transaction costs of £17 million were charged in the Group’s consolidated income statement in the year ended 31 March 2014.
Vodafone Omnitel B.V. (‘Vodafone Italy’)
On 21 February 2014, the Group acquired a 100% interest in Vodafone Italy, having previously held a 76.9% stake in Vodafone Italy which was
accounted for as a joint venture. The Group acquired the additional 23.1% equity as part of the consideration received for the disposal of the
Group’s interests in Verizon Wireless (see “Disposals” below). There was no observable market for Verizon shares and so the fair value of consideration
paid by the Group for the acquisition was considered to be more reliably determined based on the acquisition-date fair value of Group’s existing
equity interest in Vodafone Italy. Using a value in use basis, the consideration paid for the acquisition was determined to be £7,121 million, comprising
£5,473 million for the Group’s existing 76.9% equity interest and £1,648 million for the additional 23.1% equity interest.
