Further to announcements released on 19 and 21 February 2014 and earlier today, the Company wishes to confirm shareholdings of its directors and persons discharging managerial responsibility (‘PDMRs’) following the consolidation of the Company’s entire ordinary share capital. As announced, Vodafone’s ordinary shares of 113/7 US cents each were consolidated on the basis of 6 new ordinary shares of 20 20/21 US cents each for every existing 11 ordinary shares.
Immediately after the consolidation, the interests of each director and PDMR and those of their connected persons in the Company were as set out below. The percentage interest of the ordinary shares of Vodafone that these interests represent did not change as a result of the consolidation.
