Posting of Class 1 Circular and Notice of General Meeting

 

Geneva, 28 January 2022: Further to the Company's announcement on 14 November
2021 of the signing of an agreement with Airbus S.A.S. ("Airbus") relating to
the proposed purchase of 102 Airbus A321neo Family Aircraft, comprising  75
Airbus A321neo Aircraft and 27 Airbus A321XLR Aircraft and, under certain
circumstances, the ability to acquire a further 19 (now 15 following the
expiry of rights of first refusal in respect of four aircraft) Airbus A321neo
Aircraft (the "Proposed Purchase"), Wizz Air is pleased to announce that a
circular relating to the Proposed Purchase (the "Circular") which includes a
notice of a general meeting of shareholders (the "General Meeting") and a form
of proxy relating to the General Meeting is being posted to shareholders.

 

Given the size of the list price commitments for the Proposed Purchase
relative to the Company, the Proposed Purchase constitutes a "class 1
transaction" under the Listing Rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority and
therefore completion of the Proposed Purchase is conditional upon Wizz Air
shareholder approval. Accordingly, the General Meeting has been convened for
this purpose and will be held at 2:00 PM (CET) on 22 February 2022 at Wizz
Air's offices at Le Lumion, Geneva International Airport, 1218 Grand-Saconnex,
Switzerland.

 

The Circular has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will
shortly be available for inspection at the Company's website at
https://wizzair.com/en-gb/information-and-services/investor-relations/investors/general-meetings.

 

Alongside the Circular, the notice of General Meeting and the form of proxy,
the Company will also send Restricted Share Notices to Shareholders who are
Non-Qualifying Nationals, informing them of the number of Ordinary Shares that
will be treated as Restricted Shares and consequently the number of Ordinary
Shares in respect of which they shall be entitled to exercise their voting
rights. More information on disenfranchisement can be found on the Company's
website at the following location:

.

 

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement shall have the
same meaning as in the Company's articles of association.
