(each a "Series" and together, the "Notes")
These listing particulars (the "Listing Particulars") have been prepared in connection with the listing of each Series of Notes as listed above by
Vodafone Group Plc (the "Issuer") on the Irish Stock Exchange plc (trading as Euronext Dublin) ("Euronext Dublin").
Application has been made to Euronext Dublin for the approval of these Listing Particulars as a listing particulars and for the Notes to be admitted to
the Official List (the "Official List") and to trading on the Global Exchange Market of Euronext Dublin (the "GEM"), which is the exchange-regulated
market of Euronext Dublin. These Listing Particulars constitute listing particulars in respect of the admission of the Notes to the Official List and to
trading on the GEM. The GEM is not a regulated market for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"). Reference in these Listing
Particulars to Notes being "listed" shall mean that such Notes have been admitted to the Official List and to trading on the GEM.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"). The Notes may not be
offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons (as defined in Regulation S of the
Securities Act) except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration under the Securities Act.
The Issuer has a long term/short term debt rating of "Baa2"/"P-2" by Moody's Investors Service España S.A. ("Moody's"), "BBB+"/"A-2" by S&P Global
Ratings Europe Limited ("S&P") and "BBB+"/"F-2" by Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch"). Each of Moody's, S&P and Fitch is established in the European
Union and is registered under Regulation (EC) No. 1060/2009 (as amended, the "CRA Regulation"). In general, European regulated investors are
restricted under the CRA Regulation from using credit ratings for regulatory purposes, unless such ratings are issued by a credit rating agency
established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation (and such registration has not been withdrawn or suspended). An
investment in the Notes involves certain risks. For a discussion of such risks, see the section headed "Risk Factors" in these Listing
Particulars.

These Listing Particulars are dated 19 July 2019

The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in these Listing Particulars. To the best of
the knowledge and belief of the Issuer (having taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case)
the information contained in these Listing Particulars is in accordance with the facts and does not omit
anything likely to affect the import of such information.
No person is or has been authorised by the Issuer to give any information or to make any representation
not contained in or not consistent with these Listing Particulars or any other information supplied in
connection with the Notes and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied
upon as having been authorised by the Issuer.
Neither these Listing Particulars nor any other information supplied in connection with the Notes (i) is
intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation or (ii) should be considered as a
recommendation by the Issuer that any recipient of these Listing Particulars or any other information
supplied in connection with the Notes should purchase any Notes. Each investor contemplating purchasing
any Notes should make its own independent investigation of the financial and business condition and
affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the Issuer.
Neither these Listing Particulars nor any other information supplied in connection with any Notes
constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer to any person to subscribe for or to purchase
any Notes. The Issuer makes no representation to any investor in the Notes regarding the legality of its
investment under any applicable laws. Any investor in the Notes should be able to bear the economic risk
of an investment in the Notes for an indefinite period of time.
Neither the delivery of these Listing Particulars nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes shall in any
circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning the Issuer is correct at any time
subsequent to the date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection with the Notes is correct
as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing the same. Investors should
review all documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see "Documents Incorporated
by Reference") when reading these Listing Particulars.
The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or
sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except pursuant to an
exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In
connection with the original offering of each Series of Notes prior to the relevant issue date, such Notes
were offered and sold outside of the United States in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act. Notes
issued in bearer form may also be subject to U.S. tax law requirements.
PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS The Notes are not intended to be offered,
sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any
retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA"). For these purposes, a retail investor means a
person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; (ii) a
customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (as amended or superseded), where that customer
would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a
qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended or superseded).
No key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs
Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to
any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Each potential investor in any Notes must determine the suitability of the investment in light of its own
circumstances. In particular, each potential investor should:
ii

(i)
have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the relevant Notes,
the merits and risks of investing in the relevant Notes and the information contained or incorporated
by reference in these Listing Particulars;
(ii)
have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its
particular financial situation, an investment in the relevant Notes and the impact such investment
will have on its overall investment portfolio;
(iii)
have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the relevant
Notes, including where the currency for any payments is different from the potential investor's
currency;
(iv)
understand thoroughly the terms of the relevant Notes and be familiar with the behaviour of any
relevant indices and financial markets; and
(v)
be able to evaluate (either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) possible scenarios for
economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its investment and its ability to bear the
applicable risks.
The Notes are complex financial instruments and such instruments would generally be purchased by
investors as a way to reduce risk or enhance yield with an understood, measured, appropriate addition of
risk to their overall portfolios. A potential investor should not invest in the Notes unless it has the expertise
(either alone or with the help of a financial adviser) to evaluate how the Notes would generally perform
under changing conditions, the resulting effects on the value of such Notes and the impact that this
investment wil have on the potential investor's overall investment portfolio.
EACH PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR IS ADVISED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISER, LEGAL
ADVISER AND FINANCIAL ADVISER AS TO TAX, LEGAL, FINANCIAL AND RELATED MATTERS
CONCERNING THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NOTES.
Except as described in these Listing Particulars, beneficial interests in the relevant Note in global form will
be presented through accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct and
indirect participants in Euroclear Bank SA/NV and Clearstream Banking S.A. Except as described in these
Listing Particulars, owners of beneficial interests in the relevant Note in global form will not be entitled to
have the relevant Notes registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery
of definitive Notes and will not be considered holders of the relevant Notes under such Notes or the relevant
Trust Deed.
The credit ratings assigned to the Notes may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure,
market, additional factors discussed above, and other factors that may affect the value of the Notes. A
credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold Notes and may be revised or withdrawn by the
rating agency at any time.
The investment activities of certain investors are subject to local investment laws and regulations, or review
or regulation by certain authorities. Each potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine
whether and to what extent (i) Notes are legal investments for it, (ii) Notes can be used as collateral for
various types of borrowing and (iii) other restrictions apply to its purchase or pledge of any Notes. Financial
institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate
treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.

and "GBP" are to the lawful currency of the United Kingdom, to "euro" and "" are to the currency
introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty
