Vodafone share account

Through the VSA, you can:

• Eliminate the risk of losing your share certificate and having to pay a replacement fee
• Trade your shares through Equiniti Financial Services Limited, settlement on the sale of shares held electronically is quicker and cheaper than certificated share dealing
• Receive four statements a year where assets are held on your behalf which will be made available online via your Shareview Portfolio at www.shareview.co.uk
• Receive less unwanted mail. Your individual details will not appear on the Vodafone share register which means other organisations will not be able to send you advertising material

You will still receive dividends and have the same choices available to you and be able to vote and attend shareholder general meetings.

How to transfer shares into the VSA

To transfer certificated shares into the VSA:

• Download the relevant transfer form, as well as a copy of the latest VSA and Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) Terms and Conditions from Equiniti at www.shareview.co.uk/info/csn
• Send your completed and signed Transfer Form with all your share certificate(s) to Equiniti using the address on the form

If you do not have all your share certificate(s) to cover the number of shares you are transferring into the VSA, please contact Equiniti to obtain a Letter of Indemnity for any missing share certificates BEFORE completing the Transfer Form. A charge may apply and details will be provided by Equiniti as part of the request. Once you receive the Letter of Indemnity form, complete and send this along with your completed Transfer Form, valid share certificate(s) and relevant fee to Equiniti.

You will receive a paper statement confirming the number of shares held for you in the VSA and your new Shareholder Reference on opening the account. On a quarterly basis a statement will be made available to you electronically via your Shareview Portfolio. Further details on registering for a Shareview Portfolio will be available on your Opening Statement or by visiting our FAQs page.

Please note that if you have any specific instructions registered on your certificated shareholding such as bank details for your dividend, election for the Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP), or having elected to receive hard copy shareholder documentation, these instructions will not transfer over to your Vodafone Share Account. You can provide your new dividend instructions including your UK bank account when transferring your certificated shares into the VSA. Otherwise you will need to contact Equiniti to provide new instructions once your shares have been transferred.

If you later decide you want a share certificate again, or wish to transfer your shares to another person, you can request the relevant forms from Equiniti.
