Notes:
-
Based on total issued share capital of 758,010,025 ordinary
shares (as at 6 February 2024).
-
A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted
towards votes cast “For” or “Against” a resolution.
-
The total voting rights of the Company on 6 February 2024
were 758,010,025.
-
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
