Notes:

  1. Based on total issued share capital of 758,010,025 ordinary shares (as at 6 February 2024).
  2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted towards votes cast “For” or “Against” a resolution.
  3. The total voting rights of the Company on 6 February 2024 were 758,010,025.
  4. As set out in the Notice of AGM, 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. At the time of the AGM, the level of ownership by EU persons was 35.96% and accordingly, easyJet has suspended voting rights in respect of certain shares ("Affected Shares") held by non-EU shareholders and the polling results noted above reflect these actions. Such Affected Shares continued to count in the calculation of issued share capital and total voting rights of the Company.

 

National Storage Mechanism

In accordance with LR 9.6.2 copies of the resolutions passed as special business have been submitted to the FCA’s National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available to view at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism.
