* Denotes Director of the Company


 

(1) An interest in Ordinary Shares of US$0.20 20/21 each was acquired at the price of 222.64 pence on 30 June 2016.  These shares will be used for the purpose of co-investment.

 

 

 

(2) Conditional awards of shares were granted on 30 June 2016 by the Company. The awards have been granted in accordance with the Vodafone Global Incentive Plan, and incorporates co-investment.  The vesting of these awards is conditional on continued employment with the Vodafone Group and on the satisfaction of a performance condition approved by the Remuneration Committee. The performance condition is based on free cash flow performance with a multiplier that is based on comparative total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance. The free cash flow performance is based on a three year cumulative adjusted free cash flow figure. The target adjusted free cash flow level is set by reference to the Company’s three year plan and market expectations; 100% of the award will vest for target performance, rising to 125% vesting for maximum performance. The multiplier is based on the TSR of the Company over the three year performance period 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2019 relative to a peer group of seven companies within the Telecoms sector. There will be no increase in vesting until TSR performance exceeds median, at which point the multiplier will increase up to two on a linear basis for upper quintile performance. The maximum vesting is 250%: for maximum free cash flow performance (125%) and maximum TSR performance (multiplier of 2). For further details of the Plan, please see page 80 of the Company’s 2016 Annual Report, available at www.vodafone.com/investor.

 

 

 

(3) The Directors and other PDMRs are subject to the Company’s share ownership guidelines, which provide that they will acquire and maintain minimum levels of shareholding. The levels are four times salary for the Chief Executive, three times salary for other Board Directors and two times salary for the other PDMRs, who are members of the Executive Committee.

 

 

 

The Company was notified of these changes on 30 June 2016.

VODAFONE EXTENDS PARTNER MARKET AGREEMENT WITH AFRIMAX TO CAMEROON

 

 

Vodafone and Afrimax Group (“Afrimax”) – a 4G-LTE telecommunications operator in sub-Saharan Africa - today jointly announced a new non-equity Partner Market agreement for Cameroon.

 

 

The two companies will launch LTE data services under the ‘Vodafone Cameroon’ brand initially in Cameroon’s two biggest cities, Douala and Yaoundé.

 


 

The roll out of Vodafone Cameroon for consumers and businesses will include the opening of Vodafone branded retail stores and kiosks in key locations, supported by a network of distributors and resellers offering an attractive range of LTE handsets and devices.

 

 

Vodafone Cameroon will offer small and medium enterprises a range of connectivity products including LTE and Wi-Fi mobile data services, fixed Internet and a suite of office solutions available at retail and through direct sales channels.

 

 

Vodafone Partner Markets Chief Executive Diego Massidda said: “The next stage in our agreement with Afrimax for sub-Saharan Africa brings Cameroon to the Vodafone Partner Market family.  I am delighted that consumers and businesses in Cameroon will now experience Vodafone’s high-speed data services.”

 

 

Antoine Pamboro has been appointed by Afrimax as Chief Executive Officer of Vodafone Cameroon, which will be headquartered in Douala. Afrimax Group Management Peter Langkilde, CEO and Rob Philpott, CFO commented: “Launching Vodafone Cameroon is an exciting development for Afrimax and another big step towards our ambition of building the leading LTE-focused operator in sub-Saharan Africa.”

 

 

The launch in Cameroon builds further on the framework agreement between Vodafone and Afrimax, announced in November 2014, to co-operate and explore potential Partner Market opportunities in a variety of territories in sub-Saharan Africa.  As part of the agreement, Vodafone and Afrimax have already partnered to launch LTE services in Uganda and Zambia.
