Vodafone Group Plc Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 31 March 1997 - Report of the Directors
It is the Group's policy to employ Deloitte & Touche on assignments additional to their statutory audit
duties where their expertise and experience with the Group are important or where they win work on a
competitive basis. The Group has employed four other audit firms during the year.
Substantial holdings
The directors are not aware of any holding in the ordinary share capital of Vodafone Group Plc which, at
12 June 1997, exceeds 3% except that FMR Corp and Fidelity International Limited and their direct and
indirect subsidiaries, both being non-beneficial holders, have solely for investment purposes a holding
representing 6.1%, including 4.75% in the form of American Depositary Shares. During the year the
Company was notified that the Department of Trade and Industry no longer considers the share holding of
BNY (Nominees) Limited, a holding which underlies American Depositary Receipts issued by The Bank
of New York, to be a notifiable interest under section 209 of the Companies Act 1985.
By Order of the Board
Stephen Scott
Secretary
