Board and Committee Changes

 

The Company announces that Valerie Gooding, Sir Crispin Davis and Dame Clara
Furse will not seek re-election at the 2023 Annual General Meeting ('AGM') and
will therefore retire at the conclusion of the AGM following completion of
nine years' service for Valerie and almost nine years' service each for Sir
Crispin and Dame Clara.

 

In light of these retirements and following a review of committee membership,
the Company announces the following Board role and Committee changes:

 

-       David Nish, Non-Executive Director of the Company, will be
appointed Senior Independent Director and also join the Nominations and
Governance Committee, both with effect from the conclusion of the 2023 AGM.

 

-       Delphine Ernotte Cunci and Christine Ramon, Non-Executive
Directors of the Company, will be appointed Workforce Engagement Leads with
effect from the conclusion of the 2023 AGM.

 

-       Amparo Moraleda, Non-Executive Director of the Company, will
cease to be a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and will be appointed
Chair of the Remuneration Committee with effect from the conclusion of the
2023 AGM.

 

-       Jean-François van Boxmeer, Chair of the Board, and Christine
Ramon, Non-Executive Director of the Company, will join the ESG Committee with
effect from the conclusion of the 2023 AGM.

 

-       Christine Ramon, Non-Executive Director of the Company, joined
the Audit and Risk Committee with effect from 28 March 2023.

 

In addition, on 10 May 2023 the Board approved the creation of a Technology
Committee as a Committee of the Board. The Technology Committee, once
established in due course, will oversee the technology strategy and how it
supports the overall Company strategy. The Committee will be formed of
Non-Executive Directors, chaired by Simon Segars with Stephen Carter, Delphine
Ernotte Cunci and Deborah Kerr as members.

 

Vodafone's Chair, Jean-François van Boxmeer said:

 

"I would like to take the opportunity of thanking Valerie, Sir Crispin and
Dame Clara for their outstanding service to the Company and look forward to
their continuing contribution until retirement. I am delighted to announce the
new roles being taken on by Delphine, Christine and Amparo, as well as David
who takes over as our Senior Independent Director.

 

The creation of a Technology Committee - run by the highly experienced team of
Simon, Stephen, Delphine and Deborah - will be a great additional benefit to
the Board and to Vodafone."

 

 

This announcement is made in compliance with the Company's obligations under
the Listing Rules, specifically Rule 9.6.11.
