The awards have been granted in accordance with the Vodafone Global Incentive Plan. The vesting of these awards is conditional on continued employment with the Vodafone Group and on the satisfaction of a performance condition approved by the Remuneration Committee. The performance measure is comparative total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR of Vodafone Group Plc over the three year performance period 2006-2009 is compared to that of other constituent companies of the FTSE Global Telecommunications index and companies are ranked by reference to their relative TSR performance. If Vodafone's TSR performance is such as to position it in the top half of the performance ranking of the constituent companies, all or some of the shares comprised in the award will vest. The vesting schedule provides that 25% of the award will vest for median performance, rising to full vesting if the Company's performance is within the top 20% of companies in the index.

The options will be exercisable subject to continued employment with the Vodafone Group and the satisfaction of a performance condition approved by the Remuneration Committee. The performance condition is that compound growth in adjusted earnings per share over the three-year performance period must exceed at least 5% per annum. If the compound growth is 5% per annum, 25% of the option will vest rising to full vesting if compound growth is 10% per annum. In the event that full vesting is not achieved after three years, the options will lapse. The options are normally exercisable at any time between 3 and 10 years from the date of grant.
