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
(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
(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.
