                                   PUT OPTION
                                       
Vodafone announces that it has decided not to exercise its rights under its
agreement with Verizon Communications Inc. ("Verizon") to sell to Verizon up to
US$10 billion of Vodafone's interest in Verizon Wireless ("VZW"). This was the
final such option available to Vodafone.

VZW is a market leading business with strong growth prospects and the Board of
Vodafone continues to believe that retaining its full 45% interest is in the
best interests of shareholders.
