Notes:

(1)         The Offers are subject to the applicable Pool Maximum Tender Amounts and Acceptance Priority Levels, as applicable. Pool Maximum Tender Amounts represent the maximum aggregate principal amount that may be purchased among the relevant series of Notes within the relevant Pool. Pool Maximum Tender Amounts may be increased or decreased at the Company's sole and absolute discretion.

(2)         Issued by Vodafone International Financing DAC ("VIFD"), an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The terms and conditions of the March 2029 Notes provide for an optional call at par (together with any Accrued Interest (as defined herein) up to (but excluding) the redemption date) at the VIFD's option on any date from (and including) December 2, 2028 ("First Par Call Date") to (but excluding) March 2, 2029.

(3)         Only the 2030 Notes issued pursuant to the CUSIP/ISIN shown are subject to the relevant Offer. The principal amount outstanding shows only amounts held under the relevant CUSIP/ISIN.

(4)         Pricing Source: BGN.

(5)         The Total Consideration and Late Tender Offer Consideration in respect of each series of the Notes were calculated at or around 10:00 a.m., New York City time, today (the "Price Determination Time") in accordance with standard market practice, as described in the Offer to Purchase.

(6)         For each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 9, 2024 (the "Early Tender Time"), not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase. The amounts shown already include the Early Tender Premium.

(7)         For each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below), and accepted for purchase.

Results of the Offers at the Early Tender Time were announced on August 12, 2024. Because the aggregate principal amount of Pool 2 Notes and Pool 3 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time exceeded the applicable Pool Maximum Tender Amount, Pool 2 Notes and Pool 3 Notes will be accepted by the Company in accordance with the applicable Pool Maximum Tender Amount and, where applicable, the Acceptance Priority Levels and, in respect of the 2030 Notes and 2031 Notes, on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase. All Pool 1 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time shall be accepted, without proration.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offers, Holders that validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase by the Company will be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium, together with an amount equal to the Accrued Interest. The Company expects the Early Settlement Date to occur on the third business day after the Early Tender Time, August 14, 2024.

The amount of a series of Notes that will be purchased in the Offers on the Early Settlement Date is based on the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table above. As a result, all Pool 1 Notes and Pool 2 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (with 1 being higher) will be accepted before any tendered Notes within such Pool having a lower Acceptance Priority Level (with 2 being lower).

The Offers for the Pool 1 Notes will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 26, 2024 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the "Expiration Date"). Holders that validly tender their Pool 1 Notes after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Date and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be eligible to receive the applicable Late Tender Offer Consideration, together with an amount equal to Accrued Interest thereon. Because the applicable Pool Maximum Tender Amount has been reached with respect to the Pool 2 Notes and Pool 3 Notes as of the Early Tender Time, Pool 2 Notes and Pool 3 Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time will not be accepted.

The "Final Tender Results Announcement Date" is expected to be August 27, 2024, unless the Offers are extended. In respect of Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and at or prior to the Expiration Date and accepted for purchase, the Company expects the Final Settlement Date to occur on the second business day after the Expiration Date, August 28, 2024.

On August 1, 2024, VIFD, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, closed the offering of €600,000,000 3.375% Notes due 2033 (the "New Notes"). The proceeds from the issuance of the New Notes, together with existing cash balances, are expected to fund the Offers. As a result, the Financing Condition has been satisfied with respect to the Offers.

In addition to the applicable Total Consideration and applicable Late Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be paid the Accrued Interest thereon. Interest will cease to accrue on the applicable Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Offers.

The consummation of the Offers and the Company's obligation to accept and pay for the Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offers are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions described in the Offer to Purchase and subject to the applicable Pool Maximum Tender Amount. The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to amend or waive any and all conditions to the Offers.

The purchase price for the Dollar Notes and the Euro Notes will be paid in U.S. Dollars and Euro, respectively. To determine whether the relevant Pool Maximum Tender Amount has been reached, the aggregate principal amount of the Dollar Notes validly tendered will be converted into Euro using a conversion rate of $1:€0.9204, which was the exchange rate as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on July 26, 2024 as displayed on the BFIX screen on Bloomberg.

Holders of Notes are advised to check with any intermediary (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) through which they hold Notes as to when such intermediary would need to receive instructions from a beneficial owner in order for that beneficial owner to be able to participate in, or (in the circumstances in which revocation is permitted) revoke their instruction to participate in the Offers before the deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase. The deadlines set by any such intermediary and the applicable Clearing System for participation in the Offers may be earlier than the relevant deadlines specified herein and in the Offer to Purchase.

The Company has retained Merrill Lynch International and NatWest Markets Plc as Dealer Managers and Kroll Issuer Services Limited as Information and Tender Agent (the "Information and Tender Agent") for the purposes of the Offers.

General

This announcement does not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Notes (and tenders of Notes in the Offers will not be accepted from Holders) in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation or acceptance is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and any Dealer Manager or any of the Dealer Managers' affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the Offers shall be deemed to be made by such Dealer Manager or such Dealer Manager's affiliate, as the case may be, on behalf of the Company in such jurisdiction.

Each tendering Holder participating in the Offers will be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the jurisdictions referred to above and generally as set out in the section titled "Description of the Offers-Procedures for Tendering Notes-Other Matters" in the Offer to Purchase. Any tender of Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offers from a Holder that is unable to make these representations will not be accepted. Each of the Company, the Dealer Managers and the Information and Tender Agent reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to investigate, in relation to any tender of Notes for purchase pursuant to the Offers, whether any such representation given by a Holder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result the Company determines (for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such tender shall not be accepted.
