The Annual General Meeting will be voting on a series of resolutions.
You can cast your vote by proxy or in person, as detailed below.
By proxy:
Voting electronically/online
For the many shareholders (ordinary shareholders and ADS holders) who are unable to attend the meeting in person we offer electronic proxy voting via the websites of our Registrars and Transfer Office:
Voting by mail
Registered holders of ordinary shares and registered ADS holders can vote by returning the AGM Form of Proxy/Proxy Card via mail to Company's Registrars at the address supplied on the form. To be valid your proxy vote must be received no later than 11:00 (UK time) on Sunday 27 July 2008.
Voting by telephone - ordinary shareholders
If you would like to submit your proxy vote via the telephone, you can do so by calling the dedicated Vodafone AGM proxy voting line between the hours of 08:30 and 17:30 (UK time) Monday to Friday on the following numbers:

The lines will close at 17:30 (UK time) on Friday 25 July 2008.
You will require your unique PIN and Shareholder Reference Number (SRN) - the PIN and SRN have been sent to you either electronically by secure e-mail, or by post on your form of proxy. The PIN will expire at the end of the voting period.
Voting by telephone - registered ADS holders
If you are a registered ADS holder, you can submit your proxy vote by telephoning the dedicated proxy voting line 1-866-580-9477 (toll-free for calls made inside the US). The telephone line will be open to you as soon as you receive your proxy material through the mail. The line will close to all ADS holders at 15:00 EST on 17 July 2007. To register your vote, you will require your unique control number which can be found on the proxy voting card sent to you through the mail.
Voting by CREST - ordinary shareholders
If you are a CREST system user (including a CREST Personal member) you can appoint one or more proxies or give an instruction to a proxy by having an appropriate CREST message transmitted. To appoint a proxy or to give an instruction to a proxy (whether previously appointed or otherwise) via the CREST system, the CREST message must be received by Computershare (ID number 3RA50) not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp generated by the CREST system) from which Computershare is able to retrieve the message. CREST personal members or other CREST sponsored members should contact their CREST sponsor for assistance with appointing proxies via CREST. For further information on CREST procedures, limitations and system timings, please refer to the CREST manual. Vodafone may treat as invalid a proxy appointment sent by CREST in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
