      Shareholders are referred to the announcement dated 10 November 2021 relating to the proposed
      acquisition of a 55% shareholding in Vodafone Egypt Telecommunications SAE (“Vodafone
      Egypt”) from 2 wholly owned subsidiaries of Vodafone Group Plc, being Vodafone International
      Holdings B.V. and Vodafone Europe BV ("proposed transaction”).

      Shareholders are advised that the company has posted a circular, including a notice of general
      meeting of shareholders, relating to the proposed transaction (“general meeting”) to be held at
      Vodacom World, 082 Vodacom Boulevard, Midrand, at 09:00 (South African time) on Tuesday
      18 January 2022.

      Copies of the circular may be obtained from the company’s website at www.vodacom.com or
      from its registered office, Vodacom Corporate Park, 082 Vodacom Boulevard, Midrand or from
      the offices of the company’s transaction sponsor, UBS South Africa (Proprietary) Limited, 144

      put in place around social gatherings, the general meeting will continue at the scheduled date
      and time but in person attendance registration of the general meeting will not be permitted.

      incorporation. In such a case, Vodacom Group will make an announcement on SENS and its
