            FINAL RESULTS OF VODAFONE'S OFFER FOR VODAFONE LIBERTEL
        VODAFONE TO INCREASE SHAREHOLDING IN VODAFONE LIBERTEL TO 98.2%


Vodafone Group Plc ('Vodafone') today announces the outcome of the post-closing
acceptance period in respect of its public offer for the shares in Vodafone
Libertel N.V. ('Vodafone Libertel') that it did not already own (the 'Offer').
The post-closing acceptance period, allowing shareholders who had not already
tendered their Vodafone Libertel shares the opportunity to do so, ended at
3.00pm (CET) on 8 April 2003.

After acquiring the Vodafone Libertel shares tendered in the post-closing
acceptance period, Vodafone will own a total of 306,783,156 Vodafone Libertel
shares, representing approximately 98.2% of the total issued share capital of
Vodafone Libertel.  Payment of the Offer price of EUR 11.00 in respect of the
Vodafone Libertel shares tendered and delivered in the post-closing acceptance
period will be made on 11 April 2003.

As previously announced, as Vodafone owns more than 95% of the total issued
share capital of Vodafone Libertel, excluding any shares that Vodafone Libertel
owns, Vodafone intends to exercise its rights under Dutch law to initiate a
squeeze-out procedure in order to acquire 100% of the shares in Vodafone
Libertel.

Vodafone Libertel's shares are de-listed from the Official segment of Euronext
Amsterdam N.V.'s stock market with effect from today.
