Annual General Meeting Arrangements
The AGM will take place on Thursday, 8 February 2024 at 10.00 a.m.
at Hangar 89, London Luton Airport, Luton, LU2
9PF.
Shareholders are welcome to attend and vote at the AGM in person.
The Company is also pleased to be able to offer facilities for
shareholders to attend and vote at the AGM electronically should
they wish to do so. Detailed information on how to join the meeting
are set out in the AGM Notice. If you are unable to attend in
person, the Board strongly encourage shareholders to
vote on the resolutions prior to the meeting
by completing an online proxy appointment form appointing the Chair
of the meeting as their proxy, further details of which are
included in the AGM Notice.
Any changes to
the AGM arrangements will be published on the Company’s website
(https://corporate.easyjet.com) and
announced through the London Stock Exchange. Shareholders should
therefore continue to monitor the website for any announcements and
updates.
Shareholders
are urged to submit their votes by proxy before 10.00 a.m. on
Tuesday, 6 February 2024.
Disenfranchisement
As shareholders will be aware, to ensure that the Company complies
with European ownership and control requirements the Board
continues to exercise its powers in accordance with easyJet’s
articles of association to suspend voting rights in respect of
certain shares (‘Affected Shares’) held by UK and other non-EU
nationals so that a majority of the voting rights in easyJet are
held by EU persons. For the period of 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.
As at
8 January 2024, the level of ownership by EU persons was 35.96%.
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.
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 30 January 2024 notifying them of the suspension of
voting rights in respect of their Affected Shares.
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.
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 10.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 6 February 2024,
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.
