NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
Further to yesterday's announcement regarding the successful
non-pre-emptive placing of new ordinary shares of 27 (2) /(7) pence
each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares") to raise
gross proceeds of approximately GBP419 million, the Board of
easyJet announces that a general meeting of the Company ("GM") will
be held on Tuesday, 14 July 2020 at 10.00 a.m. at Hangar 89, London
Luton Airport, London LU2 9PF.
39,681,092 new Ordinary Shares (representing approximately 9.99%
of the Company's existing ordinary share capital) have been
allotted at the Placing Price under the Company's existing share
capital authority (obtained at the Annual General Meeting held in
February 2020) and 19,860,406 new Ordinary Shares (representing
approximately 5% of the Company's existing ordinary share capital)
have been allotted at the Placing Price conditional on Shareholder
approval by way of the Conditional Share Issuance.
The Conditional Share Issuance is subject to approval of a
resolution to grant the directors authority to allot the
Conditional Placing Shares. Accordingly, the purpose of the GM is
to give Shareholders the opportunity to vote on the resolution to
authorise the Directors to allot up to 19,860,406 Ordinary Shares
relating to the Conditional Share Issuance.
A circular relating to the Conditional Share Issuance, including
the Notice of General Meeting (the "Circular") will be posted to
Shareholders and has been published on the Group's website at
https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/equity-placing .
The Board recommends shareholders vote in favour of the
resolution.
GM arrangements
The Board takes the well-being of its employees, customers and
Shareholders very seriously. Given the UK Government's current
guidance on non-essential travel and restrictions on public
gatherings in place at the date of this announcement, we regret
that it will not be possible for Shareholders to attend the GM in
person.
The Company is offering facilities for Shareholders to vote at
the GM electronically and to attend by conference call to ask
questions in real time should they wish to do so. Further details
are set out in Part III of the Circular and a user guide to the
electronic facilities is available on the website at:
https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/shareholder-services/shareholder-meetings/gm-july-2020
.
We strongly encourage shareholders to vote on all resolutions in
advance of the GM by completing an online proxy appointment form
appointing the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, to register
any questions in advance and not to attend the meeting in person.
Further details are included in the Circular.
Shareholders will be able to ask questions via conference call
access as set out in Part III of the Circular. Shareholders can
also submit questions to the Board in advance of the GM by emailing
cosec@easyjet.com by no later than 10.00 a.m. on Friday, 10 July
2020. We will consider all questions received and, if appropriate
and relating to the business of the GM, give an answer at the GM
and provide a written response or publish answers on our
website.
The Board will keep the situation under review and may need to
make further changes to the arrangements relating to the GM,
including how it is conducted, and shareholders should therefore
continue to monitor the Company's website and announcements for any
updates.
Shareholders are urged to submit their votes by proxy before
10.00 a.m. on Friday, 10 July 2020 .
