Communications policy
It is the policy of Vodafone Group Plc that all disclosures and announcements made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to its shareholders, the investment community and the general public should be materially accurate and complete. They should fairly present, in all material respects, the subject matter of the disclosure. All disclosures and announcements should be made on a timely basis as required by applicable laws and stock exchange requirements.
In order to ensure that the official announcements, press releases and other public disclosures made by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, whether quoted or not quoted, are recorded, processed, summarised and reported accurately and on a timely basis, the Company has established a Disclosure Committee. The Disclosure Controls and Procedures must be strictly adhered to by the Company or any of its subsidiaries so that prior and proper authorisation is secured for the disclosures set out therein. They also provide, in part, the basis for the annual Certifications required to be made by the Vodafone Group Chief Executive and the Vodafone Chief Financial Officer (the "Certifying Officers") pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes- Oxley").
