Conditional awards of shares were granted to the below participants on 30 November 2020 by the Company. The awards have been granted in accordance with the Vodafone Global Incentive Plan and have been calculated using the closing share price on 27 November 2020. The vesting of these awards is conditional on continued employment with the Vodafone Group and on the satisfaction of performance conditions approved by the Remuneration Committee which, in line with normal policy, will be weighted 60% on adjusted free cash flow, 30% on relative total shareholder return, and 10% on ESG.

All performance conditions will be measured over the three financial years ending on 31 March 2023 and, subject to the aforementioned conditions being met, awards will vest on 3 August 2023 .  The adjusted free cash flow target is calculated from this year's budget plus two years from the next year's forecast.
