Vodafone agrees to sell Verizon stake for $130 billion Sep 2nd 2013, 16:19 LONDON, Sept 2 | Mon Sep 2, 2013 12:19pm EDT LONDON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Vodafone agreed to sell its 45 percent stake in U.S. mobile operator Verizon Wireless to Verizon Communications for $130 billion, bringing an end to one of the longest running corporate standoffs with the world's third-largest deal. Under the agreement announced on Monday, which will leave Verizon with 100 percent of the largest mobile operator in the U.S., Vodafone will receive $58.9 billion in cash, $60.2 billion in Verizon stock and an additional $11 billion from smaller transactions. At completion in the first quarter of 2014, Vodafone shareholders are expected to receive all the Verizon shares and $23.9 billion of cash, which comes to $84 billion flowing back to shareholders. "The board, therefore, intends to increase the total 2014 financial year dividend per share by 8 percent to 11 pence, and intends to grow it annually thereafter," Vodafone said.
