Form of Proxy explanatory notes:
Voting and attendance at the General Meeting 1. You are strongly encouraged to vote on the resolution in advance of the GM by completing an online proxy appointment form appointing the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy given that the UK Government's current guidance means that neither you nor any other person you might appoint as your proxy will be able to attend the meeting in person. Shareholders are encouraged to submit their voting instructions and Form of Proxy as soon as possible, even if they might intend to participate electronically or to attend the GM in person should the Coronavirus situation and the UK Government's guidance change so as to permit this. 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 the Notice of General Meeting which is available on the Company's website at corporate.easyjet.com/investors.

Proxies may also be appointed through CREST in accordance with notes 9 to 11 below.

-
- When two (or more) valid but differing appointments of proxy are received in respect of the same share(s) for use at the same meeting and in respect of the same matter, the one which is last validly received (regardless of its date or of the date of its execution or submission) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards the share(s). If the Company is unable to determine which appointment was last validly received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect of the relevant share(s).
Multiple proxies
- A member entitled to vote at the GM may appoint one or more persons (who need not be members) as their proxy or proxies to exercise all or any of their rights to vote at the GM, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to a different share or shares held by them. To appoint more than one proxy pursuant to a hard copy Form of Proxy, members should photocopy this form as a separate Form of Proxy must be completed for each proxy unless proxies are being appointed electronically in which case, please refer to note 2 above. Please indicate next to the proxy holder's name the number of shares in relation to which you authorise them to act as your proxy.

After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be
- communicated to the appointee through other means. 11. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.
