In March 2019, Vodafone Group Plc ('Vodafone') issued a two-tranche mandatory convertible bond, the second and final tranche of which (£1,720,000,000 1.50 per cent. Subordinated Mandatory Convertible Bonds; ISIN XS1960589668) matured on Saturday, 12 March 2022. As a result of the maturity, £1,720,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds were mandatorily converted into Vodafone's ordinary shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds. All conversions were satisfied by Vodafone transferring treasury shares.

In conformity with Listing Rule 12.6.4R, Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.5.1R and Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5.6.1R, Vodafone hereby notifies the market of the following details of the transfer of treasury shares:
