Annual General Meeting Arrangements

The AGM will take place on Thursday, 10 February 2022 at 11.00 a.m.  

The Company is offering facilities for shareholders to vote at the AGM electronically and attend by conference call to ask questions in real time should they wish to do so. At the current time shareholders are able to attend and vote at the AGM in person, as well as electronically, however there is some uncertainty on what regulations or guidance may be in force as at the date of the AGM as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 situation, which may include restrictions on public gatherings. The Board therefore strongly encourage shareholders not to the attend the AGM in person and to vote on the resolutions prior to the meeting by completing an online proxy appointment form appointing the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy, further details of which are included in the AGM Notice. This recommendation is to ensure the well-being of all employees and shareholders is protected and to minimise the public health risks from public gatherings.

There is a possibility the UK Government may make changes to their current guidance which could impact in person attendance at the AGM. The Board will keep these arrangements under review and may need to make changes to the arrangements relating to the AGM, including how it is conducted, should further restrictions be introduced. Shareholders should therefore continue to monitor the Company's website (https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors) and announcements for any updates. If restrictions on public gatherings are introduced, the Board would expect to retain the ability for  shareholders to vote at the AGM electronically and to attend by conference call to ask questions in real time should they wish to do so.

Shareholders are urged to submit their votes by proxy before 11.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 8 February 2022.

Disenfranchisement

As shareholders will be aware, the Board is ensuring the Company complies with European ownership and control requirements by exercising its powers to suspend voting rights of certain UK and non-EU nationals. For the period of any such suspension, the relevant shareholders would not be entitled to attend, speak or vote at shareholder meetings, including the AGM, in respect of the shares subject to the suspension.  Further information can be found on easyJet's website at: https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/shareholder-services/eu-share-ownership.

As at 10 January 2022, the level of ownership by EU persons was 41.04%. Accordingly easyJet has suspended voting rights in respect of certain shares ('Affected Shares') held by Relevant Persons in accordance with easyJet's articles of association so that a majority of the voting rights in easyJet are held by EU Persons.

We would recommend that all shareholders vote in advance of the AGM, even in respect of any Affected Shares that they may hold. This is because those shares may be re-enfranchised in advance of the AGM.

Shareholders who own shares whose voting rights will be suspended (and therefore whose votes will not be counted) at the AGM will receive a notice (an "Affected Share Notice") by post from Equiniti, our Registrars, on or around 1 February 2022 notifying them of the suspension of voting rights in respect of their Affected Shares.

If a shareholder votes more than its eligible holding (for example, because some of its shares are disenfranchised pursuant to an Affected Share Notice), Equiniti shall use its reasonable endeavours to contact the relevant shareholder to resolve any discrepancies, however, to the extent Equiniti is unable to resolve such discrepancies by 11.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 8 February 2022, Equiniti will scale back the relevant shareholder's votes on a pro rata basis so that such shareholder's votes do not exceed those it is entitled to vote.
