Standard payment terms
Hutchison 3G UK Limited’s (Three UK) standard payment terms offered to suppliers during the Reporting Period fall into two principle categories: a) Purchase Order terms and conditions: Three UK’s purchase order terms and conditions provide that the charges shall be due at the end of the month following the month in which the relevant Products are Accepted or the Services are performed in accordance with the specification and any conditions of purchase set out in the relevant Purchase Order and subject to receipt by Three UK of a correctly presented invoice; or b) Long form contractual agreement for the supply of goods and/or services: payment terms are considered on a case by case basis. Subject to the commercial requirements of the particular contract and negotiation with the relevant supplier, Three UK’s standard contracting terms and payment practices provide that Three UK shall pay for the relevant goods or services within 30 days from receipt of a correctly presented invoice. Three UK reserves its position to require a greater number of payment days if necessary to fulfil Three’s commercial requirements for a particular arrangement.

Hutchison 3G UK Limited is a UK-registered company, known as Three, that operates mobile telecommunications services. Its Standard Industrial Classification is wireless telecommunications activities. In June 2025 Three UK merged with Vodafone Limited to form VodafoneThree, and the company now operates as part of that combined business, sharing network infrastructure and offering mobile connectivity, retail stores and customer services across the UK. The company's registered office is in Reading. Evidence shows the wider VodafoneThree group has invested heavily in 5G and digital infrastructure, though such figures relate to the group rather than this entity alone. The company remains a separate legal and data-controlling entity within the Three Group structure.
