easyJet plc ("the Company")

Director/PDMR shareholding

The Company announces that on 19 December 2016, the following Executive Directors and PDMRs, as set out against their names in the tables below, were granted nil cost option awards over 27 2/7 p ordinary shares in the capital of the Company under the Company's Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and Deferred Annual Bonus Plan (DABP), as applicable.

TABLE 1 - AWARD OF LTIP PERFORMANCE SHARES AWARDS
Name	Number of Shares under LTIP Performance Shares Awards
Carolyn McCall	169,127
Andrew Findlay	88,686
Chris Brocklesby	48,954
Chris Browne	57,526
Peter Duffy	48,897
Catherine Lynn	40,671
Paul Moore	31,581
Kyla Mullins	43,144
Jacky Simmonds	44,582

The LTIP Performance Shares Awards will vest and become exercisable on the third anniversary of their grant date subject to the grantee's continued employment and to the extent to which the average Return of Capital Employed (ROCE) and relative total shareholder return (TSR) performance conditions set for the LTIP Performance Shares Awards are met, summary details of which are shown below:

ROCE (70% of total award)	Below 9%	9%	11.2%	13% or more
	Below Threshold (0% vesting)	Threshold (25% vesting)	On-target (50% vesting)	Maximum (100% vesting)

Ranking of easyJet's TSR (30% of total award)	< Median	Median	Upper quartile
	Below Threshold (0% vesting)	Threshold (25% vesting)	Maximum (100% vesting)

Awards vest on a straight-line basis between these points.

The LTIP ROCE targets set out above are based on average headline ROCE over the three year performance period (being three years from 1 October 2016). The performance measures for the headline ROCE targets will be based on headline profit.  For the avoidance of doubt, headline profit is also used in the performance measures for the bonus targets for the year ended 30 September 2017.

The TSR targets are based on relative TSR compared to companies ranked FTSE 51 to 150 at the start of the performance period, where the average share price is calculated over three months at the start and end of the period. In addition, in order for the TSR-based awards to vest, easyJet must have achieved positive absolute TSR performance over the performance period.

Peter Duffy	16,299
