Forward-looking statements

This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the Group’s financial condition, results of

operations and businesses and certain of the Group’s plans and objectives. In particular, such forward-looking statements include: the free cash flow guidance for the 2012 financial year contained in

slide 15 and the statements relating to the Group’s future performance generally; statements relating to the development and launch of certain products, services and technologies, including

expectations regarding growth in customers and usage and mobile data growth and technological advancements, including the deployment of 4G services; expectations regarding revenue, adjusted

operating profit, EBITDA, free cash flows, adjusted effective tax rates, costs, tax settlements and capital expenditures; and expectations regarding the Group’s disposals and the integration or

performance of current and future investments, associates, joint ventures and newly acquired businesses.

Forward-looking statements are sometimes, but not always, identified by their use of a date in the future or such words as “anticipates”, “aims”, “could”, “may”, “should”, “expects”, “believes”,

“intends”, “plans”, “will” or “targets”. By their nature, forward-looking statements are inherently predictive, speculative and involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on

circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-

looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in economic or political conditions in markets served by operations of the Group that would adversely affect

the level of demand for mobile services; greater than anticipated competitive activity, from both existing competitors and new market entrants, which could require changes to the Group’s pricing

models, lead to customer churn or make it more difficult to acquire new customers; the impact of investment in network capacity and the deployment of new technologies, or the rapid obsolescence

of existing technology; higher than expected costs or capital expenditures; slower than expected customer growth and reduced customer retention; changes in the spending patterns of new and

existing customers and the possibility that new products and services will not be commercially accepted or perform according to expectations; the Group’s ability to renew or obtain necessary

licences; the Group’s ability to achieve cost savings; the Group’s ability to execute its strategy in mobile data, enterprise and broadband and in emerging markets; changes in foreign exchange rates or

interest rates; the ability to realise benefits from entering into partnerships for developing data and internet services and entering into service franchising and brand licensing; unfavourable

consequences of acquisitions or disposals; changes in the regulatory framework in which the Group operates, including possible action by regulators in markets in which the Group operates or by the

EU to regulate rates the Group is permitted to charge; the impact of legal or other proceedings against the Group or other companies in the mobile telecommunications industry; loss of suppliers or

disruption of supply chains; the Group’s ability to satisfy working capital and other requirements through access to bank facilities, funding in the capital markets and operations; changes in statutory

tax rates or profit mix which might impact the weighted average tax rate; changes in tax legislation or final resolution of open tax issues which might impact the Group’s tax payments or effective tax

rate; and changes in foreign exchange rates, including, particularly, the exchange rate of pounds sterling to the euro and the US dollar.

Furthermore, a review of the reasons why actual results and developments may differ materially from the expectations disclosed or implied within forward-looking statements can be found by

referring to the information contained under the heading “Principal risk factors and uncertainties” in our Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2011. The annual report can be found on the

Group’s website (www.vodafone.com). All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or any member of the Group or any persons acting on their behalf are

expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors referred to above. No assurances can be given that the forward-looking statements in this presentation will be realised. Except as otherwise stated

herein and as may be required to comply with applicable law and regulations, Vodafone does not intend to update these forward-looking statements and does not undertake any obligation to do so.
