Indian Tax Matters

Companies in the Vodafone Group have received notices from the Indian tax authorities alleging possible liability for failure to deduct withholding tax from consideration paid to Hutchison Telecommunications International Limited (“HTIL”) in respect of HTIL’s gain on its disposal to Vodafone of companies with interests in Vodafone Essar Limited. At this stage no accurate quantification of any cost which may arise can be made, but the Company believes that neither it nor any other member of the Vodafone Group is liable for such withholding tax and intends to defend this position vigorously.

Agreement to Acquire Tele2’s Businesses in Italy and Spain

Vodafone announced on October 6, 2007 that it had agreed to acquire Tele2 Italia SpA (“Tele2 Italy”) and Tele2 Telecommunications Services SLU (“Tele2 Spain”) from Tele2 AB Group for cash consideration of €775 million (£537 million) on a debt-free basis. Tele2 Italy and Tele2 Spain provide nationwide fixed-line telecommunications and broadband services in Italy and Spain, respectively. Tele2 Italy had over 2.6 million customers as at 30 June 2007, including over 400,000 broadband customers, and Tele2 Spain had 550,000 customers as at 30 June 2007, including over 240,000 broadband customers.
