Notes:

  1. Based on total issued share capital of 758,010,025 ordinary shares (as at 7 February 2023).
  2. A vote withheld is not a vote in law and is not counted towards votes cast “For” or “Against” a resolution.
  3. The total voting rights of the Company on 7 February 2023 were 758,010,025.
  4. 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 38.4% 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.

Board & Committee changes

Julie Southern and Andreas Bierwirth did not put themselves forward for re-election at the AGM and therefore stood down from the Board at the conclusion of the meeting. As a result, the following changes have been made to the membership and constitution of the Committees with effect from the close of the AGM:

  • David Robbie has succeeded Julie Southern as Chair of the Audit Committee.
  • The Safety Committee has been renamed the Safety & Operational Readiness Committee to better reflect the scope of its activities and Dr Detlef Trefzger has succeeded Andreas Bierwirth as Chair. The revised terms of reference are available at https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/governance.  
  • David Robbie and Dr Detlef Trefzger have become members of the Nominations Committee.

The full membership of the Board Committees from the close of the AGM will be as follows:

  • Audit Committee: David Robbie (Chair), Catherine Bradley, Dr Detlef Trefzger.
  • Remuneration Committee: Moni Mannings (Chair), Harald Eisenächer, David Robbie.
  • Nominations Committee: Stephen Hester (Chair), Catherine Bradley, Moni Mannings, David Robbie, Dr Detlef Trefzger.
  • Safety & Operational Readiness Committee: Dr Detlef Trefzger (Chair), Ryanne van der Eijk.
  • Finance Committee: Catherine Bradley (Chair), Harald Eisenächer, David Robbie.

As previously announced Sue Clark will join the Board as Senior Independent Director and a member of the Audit, Nominations and Safety & Operational Readiness Committees with effect from 1 March 2023.
