Vodafone Group completed its acquisition of Mannesmann AG in February 2000, marking the largest merger in history valued at $180.95 billion. The deal was intended to reshape the telecommunications landscape but ended in significant financial losses for Vodafone. Mannesmann's acceptance of the offer concluded a long pursuit by Vodafone’s AirTouch PLC. The failed outcome highlighted the risks associated with high-value mergers.
