NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Ryanair Holdings plc ("Ryanair" or the "Company") announces  today (28 March) that it has published a circular to shareholders ("Circular") convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company ("EGM"). The EGM will be held at 9.00 a.m. on 19 April, 2012 at The Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport, Co. Dublin, Ireland. A copy of the Circular is available on the Company's website at www.ryanair.com. The Circular has also been filed with the Irish Stock Exchange and with the United Kingdom Listing Authority's National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available at:

Two resolutions are proposed for consideration at the EGM. Resolution 1 is a proposal, (announced as part of the Company's Q3 Results issued on 30 January, 2012), to amend the Company's 5% share buy back authority in order to accommodate the possible repurchase of ordinary shares held in ADS form. Resolution 2 relates to the proposal by the Company to reclassify its listing on the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority from a premium listing to a standard listing in order to facilitate such ADS repurchases. The Company's Ordinary Shares will continue to be traded on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange and the Company will also retain its primary listing on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange which will ensure that all the current shareholder protections and corporate governance requirements remain applicable. Ryanair will also retain its listing on NASDAQ, in ADS form (American Depositary Shares). It is not expected that this change in listing will have any impact on trading or liquidity in any of the three markets on which Ryanair securities are traded.

Further information in relation to both Resolutions (which are inter-conditional) is contained in the Circular.

The expected timetable of events is as follows:

Date of issue of the Circular	28 March, 2012
Latest time and date for receipt of Forms of Proxy for use at the Extraordinary General Meeting	9.00 a.m. on 17 April, 2012
Extraordinary General Meeting	9.00 a.m. on 19 April, 2012
Expected date upon which the change in listing category in the UK will become effective	21 May, 2012

Defined terms in the Circular have the same meaning as in this announcement.
