Vodafone Japan Shiro Tsuda, Executive Chairman Bill Morrow, President 19 September 2005 The following presentation is being made only to, and are only directed at, persons to whom such presentation may lawfully be communicated (“relevant persons”). Any person who is not a relevant person should not act or rely on this presentation or any of its contents. Information in the following presentation relating to the price at which relevant investments have been bought or sold in the past or the yield on such investments cannot be relied upon as a guide to the future performance of such investments. This presentation does not constitute an offering of securities or otherwise constitute an invitation or inducement to any person to underwrite, subscribe for or otherwise acquire securities in any company within the Vodafone Group (the “Group”). The release, publication or distribution of this presentation in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law, and therefore persons in such jurisdictions into which this presentation is released, published or distributed should inform themselves about, and observe, such restrictions. The presentation contains forward-looking statements which are subject to risks and uncertainties because they relate to future events. Some of the factors which may cause actual results to differ from these forward looking statements are discussed in the last slide of the presentation and others can be found by referring to the information contained under the headings “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2005. The presentation slides and our Annual Report can be found on our website (www.vodafone.com). The presentation also contains certain non-GAAP financial information. The Group’s management believes these measures provide valuable additional information in understanding the performance of the Group or the Group’s businesses because they provide measures used by the Group to assess performance. Although these measures are important in the management of the business, they should not be viewed as replacements for, but rather as complementary to, the comparable GAAP measures such as turnover and reported items on the consolidated profit and loss account or the consolidated statement of cash flows.
