LONDON - Emirates Investment Authority (EIA) has increased its stake in Vodafone Group (LON:VOD) Plc to 16.000088% of voting rights, according to a major shareholding notification issued Monday.

The Abu Dhabi-based sovereign wealth fund crossed the threshold on June 13, up from its previous position of 15.009711%, representing a total of 3,944,743,685 voting rights in the telecommunications company.

The notification details that EIA holds its Vodafone (NASDAQ:VOD) stake through a chain of controlled undertakings, including Emirates Telecommunication Group Company PJSC and Atlas 2022 Holdings Limited, which is registered in the Cayman Islands.

The shareholding consists entirely of voting rights attached to shares, with no additional voting rights through financial instruments, according to the regulatory filing.

Vodafone Group, a European and African telecommunications company, provides mobile and fixed services to over 330 million customers across 15 countries and partners with mobile networks in 47 more countries.

The notification was made in compliance with UK regulatory requirements for major shareholders to disclose when they cross certain ownership thresholds. The information was provided to Vodafone on June 16, which subsequently issued the announcement through the regulatory news service.
