VODAFONE & CHINA MOBILE FORM CONSORTIUM FOR MYANMAR LICENCE
Vodafone Group Plc (Vodafone) and China Mobile Limited (China Mobile) today jointly announced that they have signed an agreement to form a consortium to bid for a mobile telecommunications licence in Myanmar. This strategic agreement builds on a strong relationship between the two companies dating back to 2000.
The Myanmar communications sector is about to enter a period of rapid structural expansion as the government seeks to increase the number of mobile operators from two to four while taking measures to encourage and support the development of mobile network infrastructure across the country.
With a comparatively young and highly literate population of around 60 million, a GDP growth rate of 5.5% per annum and mobile phone penetration currently below 10% significantly lower than in many other emerging economies Myanmar will be an important new market for the global mobile industry. The licensing round is also an opportunity to accelerate the pace of Myanmars social and economic development through mass-market adoption of mobile services, similar to the mobile-led transformation underway within many other Asian and African countries.
The two new licences will authorise the licence holders to build, own and operate a mobile network on a nationwide basis for an initial term of 15 years. The Vodafone-China Mobile pre-qualification application has been submitted to the Myanmar authorities in line with the submission deadline of 4 April 2013. Further details of the proposed Vodafone-China Mobile consortium will be announced in due course.
The consortium wishes to remind investors that the joint application for a Myanmar Telecommunications Licence by Vodafone and China Mobile is still at a preliminary stage and may or may not be ultimately successful.

VODAFONE AND ICICI BANK LAUNCH MOBILE MONEY SERVICE
AIMED AT INDIAS 700 MILLION UNBANKED POPULATION
Vodafone India and ICICI Bank, Indias largest private sector bank, today launched M-Pesa a leading mobile money transfer and payment service in a move to help approximately 700 million of the countrys population who previously had no access to conventional banking.
M-Pesa was launched by Vodafone in 2007 and is now available in eight countries, including Kenya, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The service allows customers to send and receive small amounts of money via their mobile phones as securely and simply as sending a text message. Prior to M-Pesa, many people in developing markets had no choice but to move cash around in person or by public transport, exposing them to delays, personal risk and loss of money in certain cases.
Following a successful trial, the service will be offered initially through more than 8,300 specially trained and authorised M-Pesa agents in eastern areas of India, including Kolkata, West Bengal, Bihar and Jharkhand, covering a population of around 220 million people. The service will be rolled out across the rest of India in a phased approach.
M-Pesa opens up a range of banking services which were previously out of reach for a vast number of customers, particularly those living in rural areas with little or no banking infrastructure. It will also allow users working in cities to securely send money home to family and friends living in villages. Key services include:
· The ability to deposit and withdraw cash from designated outlets;
· Transfer money to any mobile phone in India;
· Pay money into any bank account in India;
· Top-up airtime on a mobile device, pay utility bills and Direct-To-Home television subscriptions; and
· Make purchases at selected shops.
Marten Pieters, Managing Director and CEO of Vodafone India, said: For millions of people in India, a mobile phone is a bank account, a front door to a micro-business or a lifeline to people in the remotest areas. Research shows that M-Pesa brings real benefits to users in their daily lives, saving three hours a week of their time and around $3 in money transfer costs a significant amount to people in some areas.
In partnership with ICICI Bank, we will provide people in remote areas with a convenient way to bank, transfer money and make payments in a safe and secure manner. We have customised our offering to serve the needs of Indian customers while ensuring its compliance with all applicable regulations. Financial inclusion is a national priority and we believe that with M-Pesa, we now have the ideal offering to enable this.
Rajiv Sabharwal, Executive Director, ICICI Bank, added: ICICI Bank has been at the forefront of technological innovations in banking. With the launch of M-Pesa, we now offer an innovative service that provides basic banking facilities to millions of Indians who still depend on informal channels for their banking needs.
Our partnership will effectively leverage the security of financial transactions provided to customers by ICICI Bank with Vodafones significant distribution reach. This launch is line with the Banks objective of achieving greater financial inclusion. It also enriches the Banks existing suite of mobile banking offerings.

Note to Editors
M-Pesa had 17.3 million active customers as at 31 December 2012 and currently around 100,000 authorised agents worldwide.
A customer can buy airtime, pay for bills such as electricity and water as well as groceries. Many other businesses are using the service to allow their customers to pay them easily and safely. Additionally in Kenya, Safaricom and Vodafone recently launched a savings and loans product in partnership with the Commercial Bank of Africa (CBA).
M-Pesa helps some of the poorest and most vulnerable people. One particular highlight of this is the Vodafone-backed Moyo project in Tanzania which treats women of a debilitating postnatal condition, obstetric fistula, and helps pay for their transport to a hospital through M-Pesa.
