The following terms apply to each
of the Notes:

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 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

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 accompanying
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
accompanying 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.

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.

Listing
We will file an application to list the Notes on the New York
Stock Exchange. We expect that the Notes will be eligible for
trading on the New York Stock Exchange within 30 days after
delivery of the Notes.

Use of proceeds
We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes for
general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may
include working capital, the repayment of existing debt
(including debt of acquired companies), financing capital
investments or acquisitions and any other purposes. We may
temporarily invest funds that we do not need immediately for
these purposes in short-term marketable securities.

Risk factors
You should carefully consider all of the information in this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, which
includes information incorporated by reference. In particular,
you should evaluate the specific factors under "Risk Factors"

expenses) from the sale of the Notes will be approximately $2,489,675,000. We intend to use the net
