DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

1.625% Notes due March 2017 (the “Notes”)

Maturity Date:	We will repay the Notes on March 20, 2017 at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.
Issue Date:	March 20, 2012.
Issue Price:	99.447% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, from and including March 20, 2012 to the date the Notes are delivered to investors.
Interest Rate:	1.625% per annum.
Interest Payment Dates:	Semi-annually on March 20 and September 20 of each year, commencing September 20, 2012, up to and including the maturity date for the Notes, subject to the applicable business day convention.
Business Day Convention:	Following, Unadjusted.
Day Count Fraction:	30/360.
Optional Make-Whole Redemption:	We have the right to redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued interest to the date of redemption and (2) as determined by the quotation agent, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on such Notes (excluding any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the adjusted treasury rate, plus 15 basis points, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption.
Business Days:	New York.
Ranking:	The Notes will rank equally with all present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Vodafone. Because we are a holding company, the Notes will effectively rank junior to any indebtedness or other liabilities of our subsidiaries.
Regular Record Dates for Interest:	With respect to each interest payment date,  the regular record date for interest on global securities in registered form will be the close of business on the Clearing System Business Day prior to the date for payment, where “Clearing System Business Day” means Monday to Friday, inclusive, except December 25 and January 1. The regular record date for interest on debt securities that are represented by physical certificates will be the date that is 15 calendar days prior to such date, whether or not such date is a

	business day.
Payment of Additional Amounts:	We intend to make all payments on the Notes without deducting United Kingdom (U.K.) withholding taxes. If any deduction is required on payments to non-U.K. investors, we will pay additional amounts on those payments to the extent described under “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer — Payment of Additional Amounts” in the prospectus.
Optional Tax Redemption:	We may redeem the Notes before they mature if we are obligated to pay additional amounts due to changes on or after the date of the final term sheet in U.K. withholding tax requirements, a merger or consolidation with another entity or a sale or lease of substantially all our assets and other limited circumstances described under “Description of Debt Securities We May Offer—Payment of Additional Amounts” in the prospectus. In that event, we may redeem the Notes in whole but not in part on any interest payment date, at a price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption.
Adjusted Treasury Rate:	“Adjusted treasury rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the comparable treasury issue, assuming a price for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the comparable treasury price for such redemption date. “Comparable treasury issue” means the U.S. Treasury security selected by the quotation agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of such notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining terms of such notes. “Comparable treasury price” means, with respect to any redemption date, the average of the reference treasury dealer quotations for such redemption date. “Quotation agent” means the reference treasury dealer appointed by the trustee after consultation with us. “Reference treasury dealer” means any primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City selected by the trustee after consultation with us. “Reference treasury dealer quotations” means with respect to each reference treasury dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the comparable treasury issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the trustee by such reference treasury dealer at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
