When used in this Offering Circular, "Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 and "UK Prospectus Regulation" means Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA").

Each of easyJet plc, easyJet B.V. and EACL accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Offering Circular and the Final Terms for each Tranche of Notes issued under the Programme. To the best of the knowledge of each of easyJet plc, easyJet B.V. and EACL the information contained in this Offering Circular is in accordance with the facts and this Offering Circular makes no omission likely to affect its import.

This Offering Circular is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be incorporated herein by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference"). This Offering Circular shall be read and construed on the basis that such documents are incorporated and form part of this Offering Circular.

Other than in relation to the documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see "Documents Incorporated by Reference"), the information on the websites to which this Offering Circular refers does not form part of this Offering Circular and has not been scrutinised or approved by the FCA.

Neither the Dealers, the Trustee (as defined below) nor any other party, save for easyJet plc, easyJet B.V. and EACL, have independently verified the information contained herein. Accordingly, no representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made and no responsibility or liability is accepted by the Dealers or the Trustee as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained or incorporated in this Offering Circular or any other information provided by the Issuers or the Guarantors in connection with the Programme. No Dealer or the Trustee accepts any liability in relation to the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Offering Circular or any other information provided by the Issuers or the Guarantors in connection with the Programme.

No person is or has been authorised by the Issuers, the Guarantors or the Trustee to give any information or to make any representation not contained in or not consistent with this Offering Circular or any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the Notes and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorised by the Issuers, the Guarantors, any of the Dealers or the Trustee.

Neither this Offering Circular nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any Notes (a) is intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation or (b) should be considered as a recommendation by the Issuers, the Guarantors, any of the Dealers or the Trustee that any recipient of this Offering Circular or any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or any Notes should purchase any Notes. Each investor contemplating purchasing any Notes should make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness, of the Relevant Issuer and/or the Guarantors. Neither this Offering Circular nor any other information supplied in connection with the Programme or the issue of any Notes constitutes an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Relevant Issuer, the Guarantors, any of the Dealers or the Trustee to any person to subscribe for or to purchase any Notes.

Neither the delivery of this Offering Circular nor the offering, sale or delivery of any Notes shall in any circumstances imply that the information contained herein concerning any of easyJet plc, easyJet B.V. and/or EACL is correct at any time subsequent to the date hereof or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is correct as of any time subsequent to the date indicated in the document containing the same. The Dealers and the Trustee expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuers or the Guarantors during the life of the Programme or to advise any investor in the Notes of any information coming to their attention.

Amounts payable on Floating Rate Notes will be calculated by reference to EURIBOR.

MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET – The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "MiFID II Product Governance / Professional Investors and ECPs only Target Market" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the MiFID Product Governance rules under EU Delegated Directive 2017/593 (the "MiFID II Product Governance Rules"), any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the MiFID II Product Governance Rules.

UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / TARGET MARKET – The Final Terms in respect of any Notes may include a legend entitled "UK MiFIR Product Governance / Professional Investors and ECPs only Target Market" which will outline the target market assessment in respect of the Notes and which channels for distribution of the Notes are appropriate. Any distributor should take into consideration the target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.

A determination will be made in relation to each issue about whether, for the purpose of the UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules, any Dealer subscribing for any Notes is a manufacturer in respect of such Notes, but otherwise neither the Arranger nor the Dealers nor any of their respective affiliates will be a manufacturer for the purpose of the UK MIFIR Product Governance Rules.

IMPORTANT – EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

IMPORTANT – UK RETAIL INVESTORS – If the Final Terms in respect of any Notes includes a legend entitled "Prohibition of Sales to UK Retail Investors", the Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (as amended, the "FSMA") and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement the Insurance Distribution Directive, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the UK Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.

NOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 309B OF THE SECURITIES AND FUTURES ACT OF SINGAPORE (as amended, the "SFA") – Unless otherwise stated in the Final Terms in respect of any Notes, all Notes issued or to be issued under the Programme shall be prescribed capital markets products (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Capital Markets Products) Regulations 2018 of Singapore) and Excluded Investment Products (as defined in MAS Notice SFA 04-N12: Notice on the Sale of Investment Products and MAS Notice FAA-N16: Notice on Recommendations on Investment Products).

However, stabilisation may not necessarily occur. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the date on which adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the relevant Tranche of Notes is made and, if begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than the earlier of 30 days after the issue date of the relevant Tranche of Notes and 60 days after the date of the allotment of the relevant Tranche of Notes.

The Notes may not be a suitable investment for all investors.

In particular, each potential investor may wish to consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether it:

Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain investors are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities.

Financial institutions should consult their legal advisers or the appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Notes under any applicable risk-based capital or similar rules.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Certain alternative performance measures ("APMs") as described in the European Securities and Markets Authority Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures are included or referred to in this Offering Circular.

RISK FACTORS

In purchasing Notes, investors assume the risk that the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors may become insolvent or otherwise be unable to make all payments due in respect of the Notes or the Guarantees. There is a wide range of factors which individually or together could result in either Issuer and the Guarantors becoming unable to make all payments due in respect of the Notes or the Guarantees. It is not possible to identify all such factors or to determine which factors are most likely to occur, as the Issuers and the Guarantors may not be aware of all relevant factors and certain factors which they currently deem not to be material may become material as a result of the occurrence of events outside the Relevant Issuer's and the Guarantors' control. easyJet plc, easyJet B.V. and EACL have identified in this Offering Circular a number of factors which could materially adversely affect their businesses and ability to make payments due under the Notes or the Guarantees.

In addition, factors which are material for the purpose of assessing the market risks associated with Notes issued under the Programme are also described below.

Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this Offering Circular and reach their own views prior to making any investment decision.

Words and expressions defined in the "Terms and Conditions of the Notes" and the "Description of easyJet plc, easyJet B.V. and EACL" shall have the same meanings in this section unless the contrary intention appears.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT THE ISSUERS' ABILITY TO FULFIL THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER NOTES ISSUED UNDER THE PROGRAMME AND/OR THE GUARANTORS' ABILITY TO FULFIL THEIR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE GUARANTEES

SAFETY, SECURITY AND OPERATIONS

Significant safety events

Flight safety incidents and health and safety incidents, including biosecurity incidents involving easyJet or another airline could potentially lead to significant injury or loss of life and additionally result in sustained adverse media coverage, impact passenger confidence and have an adverse effect on the airline industry in general and (to the extent easyJet was involved) easyJet's reputation in particular, leading to reduced demand for easyJet's services. Such events could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's business, financial performance and profits. In addition, if easyJet's aircraft are involved in safety incidents, there may be other associated losses. Costs associated with the repair or replacement of damaged or lost aircraft, resulting in temporary or permanent loss from service of such damaged or lost aircraft and claims by affected passengers, owners and third parties may occur. To the extent it is involved, easyJet may also be subject to fines, legal or regulatory sanctions. Failure to prevent or respond promptly and effectively to such an incident could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Significant security events

A major security threat, or failure to react immediately and effectively to such an event, could also result in sustained adverse media coverage, impact passenger confidence and (to the extent easyJet is involved) have an adverse effect on easyJet's reputation, leading to reduced demand for easyJet's services which could in turn lead to a loss of revenues and have a material adverse effect on easyJet's business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, if easyJet's aircraft are involved in a security threat, there may be other associated losses and costs of repair or replacement of damaged or lost aircraft. Additional adverse consequences of such events, and the threat of such events, could include a complete or partial closure of European airspace for certain periods, reduced demand for air travel, limitations on the availability of insurance coverage, increased costs associated with security precautions and flight restrictions over war zones. Major security threats have the potential to adversely affect easyJet's business regardless of the location or target of such threat or whether easyJet was involved. All of these adverse consequences, should such an incident occur, could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Significant operational disruption

A number of possible events, or factors that occur for a prolonged period, may cause significant and widespread, sustained disruption to easyJet's network such as forces of nature including natural disasters, severe weather conditions and volcanic ash clouds; terrorism; air traffic management restrictions or airport / airspace closures; union activity and strike action; failure to attract and retain sufficient staff; technological failures and cyber-attacks; and supplier and infrastructure failures.

The outbreak of a contagious disease with the potential to become an epidemic or pandemic (for example, a contagious disease resulting in similar effects to the COVID-19 pandemic) could affect travel behaviour by reducing passenger traffic, either generally or to offered destinations. If an event or circumstance were to weaken the demand for air travel, materially affect airline operations or require significant compensation to be paid, this could have a disproportionate effect on easyJet's results. The occurrence and timing of such events, together with the reaction of aviation authorities to such events, cannot be predicted or controlled by easyJet and could result in the disruption of easyJet's operations. Any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's ability to utilise assets efficiently, results of operations, reputation, financial condition and prospects. These factors in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Closure of or disruption at key airports and/or runways

easyJet operates from a number of key airports across Europe. The complete or partial closure or temporary unavailability of any of the key airports or runways from which easyJet operates, for instance due to fire, adverse weather conditions or natural events, a major air crash at the site, union activity and strike action, failure or temporary unavailability of air traffic control systems, a terrorist or similar security incident (including cyber-attacks), or any network disruption causes such as those listed above, would result in the disruption of easyJet's operations and could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Insufficient insurance cover

easyJet believes that it has insurance in place consistent with its competitors. However, insurance policies are typically subject to a number of conditions and exclusions and must be renewed from time to time. In addition, similar insurance may be difficult to obtain subsequent to the occurrence of a safety incident or a global pandemic. Any disaster or major disruption involving easyJet or its aircraft could result in potential claims from injured or deceased passengers, third parties, crew or others. There may also be temporary or permanent loss of the aircraft from service, as well as repair and replacement costs. In addition, easyJet may suffer from reputational damage if one or more of its aircraft is involved in a disaster, major disruption or is the subject of an insurance claim. There can be no assurance that the amount or type of insurance cover currently held by easyJet will be sufficient or adequate to cover all potential losses. If easyJet's insurance policies exclude certain events or specific claims or if the amounts insured under such policies are insufficient, easyJet may suffer significant costs. In addition, if the cost of insurance increases substantially, for example due to a terrorist incident, there may be a negative impact on easyJet's profits. Any such disaster, major disruption or insurance claim, or the inability of easyJet to renew or obtain adequate insurance could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects. This in turn could impact the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Negative customer experiences

Reliability, including on time performance, is a key element of easyJet's customer experience. Unreliable operational performance and inability to react to customer expectations as a result of routine and ongoing disruption would negatively impact customer satisfaction and easyJet's financial condition, as a result of reduced demand and payment of compensation (see "Requirement to compensate passengers for certain flight delays and cancellations" below). Customer experience could also be negatively affected by performance related to other elements of consumer experience outside of flying such as speed of and quantity of refunds. These factors in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

FINANCIAL RISKS

Liquidity and refinancing risk

Liquidity and refinancing risk refers to the possibility of being unable to meet or replace all present and future financial obligations as they become due. While easyJet believes it has contracts and processes in place designed to deliver sufficient cash resources and the availability of funding as needed, there can be no assurance that this will be effective. For example, a downgrade in easyJet's credit rating could have a material impact on the availability of funding, and on the cost of such funding. easyJet's future capital expenditure is expected to be significant but the quantum is uncertain and this presents challenges for liquidity management in the medium-term which could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's ability to meet its capital expenditure commitments. Any business disruption as a result of not being able to meet all present and future financial obligations as they become due could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations and financial condition. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Market price of finance

easyJet is exposed to movements on interest rates on interest bearing monetary items, as well as on future debt issuances and lease agreements. easyJet's net cash stood at £181 million at 30 September 2024 (£41 million at 30 September 2023). As such, easyJet is exposed to increases or decreases in interest rates and such increases or decreases could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations and financial condition. easyJet is also exposed to volatility in inflation rates. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

easyJet's ability to finance its operations and satisfy its fleet commitments, together with future fleet requirements is reliant on a number of factors including those outside of its control. In some cases, easyJet may need to refinance and such refinancing may be more expensive than current rates, or may be unavailable depending on easyJet's credit profile, the economic climate at the time and other factors outside of its control. To support secured transactions, easyJet has used owned aircraft as collateral. Should the valuations of its aircraft fall materially, easyJet may be forced to encumber assets to support these financings if drawn. Should easyJet be unable to obtain satisfactory financing in respect of its current commitments, or in respect of future financing needs, this could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations and financial condition and in turn on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Exposure to increases in fees and costs

Airlines are exposed to increases in airport charges, navigation and person with reduced mobility ("PRM") fees, along with changes in air security policies and air traffic security costs. Airport charges, PRM fees and security charges or initiatives represent a significant operating cost to easyJet and have an impact on its operations. easyJet is also exposed to increases in costs and fees directly linked to aviation fuel and carbon (see also the risk factors entitled "Carbon trading schemes and other environmental measures", "Volatility in jet fuel and/or carbon prices" and "Increased Taxation" below).

There can be no assurance that such costs will not increase or that easyJet will not incur new costs in the UK, the European Union ("EU") or any other territory or jurisdiction in which it operates. These increases could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition and results of operations. This in turn could impact the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Non-delivery of strategic initiatives

easyJet continues to undertake a number of initiatives to support its strategy. If one or more of these initiatives fails to deliver the anticipated incremental benefits to revenue or cost savings planned, this could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's competitive advantage which may affect easyJet's results from operations. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

ASSET EFFICIENCY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Single fleet supplier

easyJet operates a single airframe type of Airbus aircraft and is dependent on Airbus and CFM International as its sole suppliers for aircraft and aircraft engines, respectively. The Airbus 320 family (which includes the A319, A320 and A321) and Boeing 737 family are the two primary airframes used for short-haul travel in the European airline industry. Whilst there are cost and efficiency advantages of easyJet maintaining a single airframe, technical or mechanical issues that relate specifically to Airbus aircraft or either of the CFM International engine types could ground easyJet's full fleet, or a significant part of its fleet. easyJet has a significant number of outstanding committed orders with Airbus and CFM International and therefore relying on these sole suppliers could lead to a delay or complete failure of delivery of new aircraft. This could result in significant disruption to easyJet's operations as well as passengers forming a negative perception of easyJet, thereby reducing demand. Such disruption to operations and/or reduction in demand could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

As of the date of this Offering Circular, all of easyJet's owned fleet is unencumbered and therefore it may seek to sell or sell and leaseback these aircraft in the second-hand aircraft market. If second-hand prices drop for any reason, including safety or reliability concerns, or if easyJet faces delays in completing these transactions, this could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's operations and financial condition.

Each of the events outlined above could in turn have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Competitive market conditions

easyJet operates in competitive marketplaces against legacy carriers, tour operators and other low-cost airlines. easyJet's key competitive advantages are its network (including a high number of slots at primary airports), cost base, brand and digital innovation. Failure to retain these advantages, for example through insufficient flying slots, could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's market share, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

easyJet is also at risk of excess capacity in the market, resulting from decreases in demand for air travel, package holidays or competitors increasing capacity and causing an oversupply in the marketplace, which could both have a material adverse effect on easyJet's revenues and profitability, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

In addition, the airline industry competes with other modes of transport. If alternative modes of transport provide a more cost-effective means of travel or there is a change in preference amongst airline travellers against using airlines in response to environmental restrictions and pressures, this could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition and results of operations. Any failure to retain its competitive advantage or respond quickly to changes in its competitive environment could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Industry consolidation

Industry consolidation could affect the competitive environment of easyJet in a number of different markets. easyJet's ability to retain its competitive advantage is dependent upon it remaining a key player in the relevant markets in which it operates. Consolidation by other key players in the sector could cause a loss of market position and erosion of revenue and could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition and prospects and therefore affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

National and international infrastructure development

easyJet is dependent on, and may be affected by, infrastructure decisions or changes in infrastructure policy by governments, regulators or other entities, which are often outside easyJet's control including, for example, a decision to allow or delay additional runway capacity at an airport or the construction of a new airport. This in turn could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition and results of operations and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

MACRO-ECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL

Shifts in macroeconomic conditions

easyJet's business can be affected by macroeconomic conditions outside of its control, including but not limited to, weakening consumer confidence and consumers having lower disposable incomes, inflationary pressure, economic instability, geo-political conditions (for example any conflict within or involving the Middle East), climate, regulatory changes, external events (including a global pandemic) or competitive behaviours. During such times consumers may choose not to fly. easyJet has no control over the impact of macroeconomic conditions and there can be no assurance that any such issue will not have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Volatility in jet fuel and/or carbon prices

Fuel and carbon allowance costs constitute a substantial proportion of easyJet's total operating expenses and have been, and are expected to remain, subject to significant price volatility. Prices for aviation fuels (including sustainable fuels) are influenced by a number of political and economic factors such as war or the threat of war, refining capacity, legislative changes, sanctions and sudden disruptions in supply or demand.

easyJet has a policy of hedging jet fuel up to 18 months out and aims to have on average approximately 60 per cent. of exposure hedged over the immediate 12 months. Even so, substantial increases in aviation fuel prices would significantly impact easyJet's fuel costs. If a significant proportion of easyJet's fleet is grounded, falls in the price of aviation fuel could lead to mark-to-market hedge losses which would not be offset by the cheaper cost of aviation fuel being used in operations. (See also "Hedging arrangements" in the section entitled "Description of easyJet plc, easyJet B.V. and EACL" below.)

If easyJet is exposed to sustained significant price volatility and/or increases in prices for aviation fuel and/or regulatory carbon allowances, there can be no assurance that it will be able to offset or fully offset such volatility and increases by passing these costs on to customers and/or through cost reductions and/or fuel hedging arrangements. In addition, easyJet cannot predict the movement of either short-term or longterm aviation fuel prices or regulatory carbon allowances. Any such price volatility and/or increases in prices for aviation fuel or regulatory carbon allowances could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Foreign exchange rate risk

easyJet reports its financial results in Sterling and therefore easyJet's principal exposure to currency exchange rates arise from fluctuations in the U.S. dollar, euro and Swiss franc rates with respect to Sterling which impact its operating, financing and investing activities and its results for each period are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. Sustained adverse changes in exchange rates against Sterling could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's business, operations, financial condition and results of operations. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Whilst easyJet manages foreign currency risk through hedging activity which aims to reduce the impact of exchange rate volatility on the results and cash flows of easyJet there can be no assurance that such foreign currency risk management will be effective. If such foreign currency risk management is not effective, this could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations and financial condition. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Exposure to non-performance of counterparties

easyJet is exposed to the credit risk of non-performance by its counterparties in respect of receivable financial assets, which include cash and cash equivalents and other investments, derivative financial instruments, and trade and other receivables. easyJet is also exposed to the credit risk of non-performance by, amongst others, its insurance and hedge counterparties. Failure of any of its counterparties could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition and results of operations. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Climate change

Climate change has the potential to affect the whole airline sector's operations and broader business in a number of ways, in particular, if climate change results in more volatile weather, such as storms with greater frequency and intensity. For example, the impact of climate change and volatile weather could materially disrupt easyJet's operations by impacting the safety and security of easyJet's customers and staff, reducing handling capacity at airports and ground transport access, closing certain airspaces and runways, delaying or cancelling flights or damaging easyJet's assets. Such events, which are becoming increasingly difficult to predict, would result in higher disruption costs, reduce revenue and have an adverse effect on easyJet's reputation and customer experience. Changes in wind patterns and jet stream disruption as a result of climate change are also recognised as having the potential to increase turbulence, which could result in damage to aircraft and injury to customers, negatively affecting easyJet's customer satisfaction and retention and increasing maintenance costs.

Customer attitudes to environmental and climate issues may also change, and this may lead to a reduced demand for air travel and reputational consequences for less environmentally conscious airlines and the airline industry as a whole. Furthermore, failure by easyJet to meet any of its stated sustainability targets or customer expectations in respect of its sustainability performance may negatively impact its reputation and customer appetite for its products. The degree to which customer choices will be impacted by environmental and climate issues is uncertain and presents a material risk to easyJet's results of operations, brand and reputation.

If alternative modes of transport provide a more cost-effective and/or sustainable means of travel or there is a change in preference amongst airline travellers or government initiatives against using airlines in light of environmental factors, this could have a material adverse effect on easyJet.

In addition, easyJet may incur additional costs as a result of increasing environmental regulations (including compliance with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (Directive (EU) 2022/2464) ("EU CSRD")) and expectations from easyJet's customers and investors regarding the use of low or zeroemission carbon aviation technologies. There can be no assurance that such technologies will mature or become commercially viable.

Certain destinations may also become unattractive for visitors. Extreme weather events, rising temperatures and other physical impacts of climate change, such as flooding, drought, forest fires, heat waves, rising sea levels and reduced snow cover in ski destinations, could make certain destinations less desirable and impact customer demand.

Each of the factors outlined above could have an adverse effect on easyJet's business, operations and financial condition and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors ability to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Carbon trading schemes and other environmental measures

Further schemes or regulations on greenhouse gas emissions may be enacted in the EU or in one or more of the countries in which easyJet operates, or existing schemes and regulations may be closed, replaced or amended. In addition, if the cost of carbon allowances significantly increases in the future, the cost of more efficient technologies significantly increases, or the reduction in the allocation of free carbon allowances by any applicable emissions trading schemes is accelerated, easyJet may face a material financial risk.

For example, on 14 July 2021, the European Commission adopted a legislative package of proposals to make the EU's climate, energy, land use, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55.0 per cent. by 2030 compared to 1990 levels ("Fit for 55"). This legislative package includes: (i) a revision to the EU Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading System to lower the emission cap further and to phase out free emission allowances for aviation, and to monitor and report non-CO2 emissions with the potential to include these in the scheme in 2028; (ii) the recently adopted 'ReFuel EU Aviation' which provides for a Sustainable Aviation Fuel ("SAF") blending mandate to be implemented with targets for the use of SAF by certain dates, with specific sub-mandates for synthetic aviation fuels; (iii) the revision to the Energy Taxation Directive (i.e. a kerosene/fuel tax) proposed to start in 2028; and (iv) the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization, which aims to ensure growth in the aviation industry is carbon neutral.

All of these factors may limit easyJet's operational flexibility, increase costs and therefore could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Increased Taxation

Future policy measures and regulation to tackle the impact of aviation on climate change may result in additional financial cost which may impact easyJet's operations. A significant increase in existing aviation taxes and levies, or expansion of the scope of such taxes and levies, could have an adverse impact on easyJet's operations and financial condition. Other financial penalties may also be introduced or increased, such as increasing noise curfews, as well as policies constraining the capacity and growth of the aviation industry. If easyJet is unable to pass these additional costs on to customers, any such financial penalties and further restrictions could increase pressure on easyJet's margins and have an adverse effect on easyJet's financial performance which could in turn adversely affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

TECHNOLOGY AND CYBER

Data breach

easyJet faces both external cyber threats and internal risks to its data and systems, including user error and incorrect configuration or implementation of systems. easyJet's data and systems may be vulnerable to theft, loss, damage and interruption due to unauthorised access, security breaches, cyber-attacks, computer viruses, power loss, or other disruptive events. A security breach could result in sustained adverse media coverage, have a negative impact on customer and employee confidence in easyJet's systems and negatively impact easyJet's reputation. Should any security breach occur this could result in third party claims, class actions or the imposition of regulatory fines, sanctions or other penalties. Failure to promptly and effectively resolve a security breach could result in significant operational disruption and have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations and financial condition. In turn, this could have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively. (See also the risk factor entitled "Compliance with Data Protection Legislation" below.)

Failure of critical technologies

easyJet relies on a number of critical technologies that are key to the delivery of essential business processes, including operational, commercial and financial systems. easyJet's key operational and commercial systems include internet bookings, online check in, flight planning and flight operations. A loss of such systems or access to premises and facilities, including the easyJet website and operations control centre, could lead to significant disruption and reputational damage. Critical technology failure could result from a destructive cyber-attack, hardware or electrical failure, aged infrastructure, outage at a data centre or third party or changes to the technology easyJet relies on and could result in fines or sanctions being imposed. Disruption or loss of access to key systems, premises or facilities as well as the failure of key suppliers could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations and financial condition and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

SHAREHOLDINGS, LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY LANDSCAPE

Major shareholder

The Haji-Ioannou family concert party shareholding, consisting of easyGroup Holdings Limited (a holding vehicle for Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou (easyJet's founder) and Clelia Haji-Ioannou) and Polys Haji-Ioannou (through his holding vehicle Polys Holding Limited), that was last disclosed to easyJet plc (on 28 September 2021) in accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5) was 15.27 per cent. of the ordinary shares of easyJet plc. Given the size of their shareholding, together easyGroup Holdings Limited and Polys Holding Limited have some ability to influence easyJet's business in relation to actions that require shareholder approval. easyGroup Holdings Limited and Polys Holding Limited could attempt to do this in connection with business initiatives requiring shareholder approval that they disagree with. Shareholder activism by easyJet plc's shareholders could disrupt the attention of management to the business and could adversely impact the reputation of easyJet. Any such disruption to business or impact on easyJet's reputation as a result of shareholder activism could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Brand licence

easyJet does not own its company name or branding, which is licensed from easyGroup Ltd (easyGroup), a wholly-owned subsidiary of easyGroup Holdings Limited, which is controlled by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou. The licence agreement imposes certain minimum service levels that easyJet must meet in order to retain the right to use the name and the brand.

Under the terms of the licence agreement signed in October 2010, the brand licence was granted for 50 years. easyJet is able to terminate the licence agreement with one years' notice (or sooner if there is a material breach by easyGroup). easyGroup may only terminate the licence agreement in limited circumstances, including in the event of a material breach by easyJet or if easyJet enters into insolvency. The licence agreement provides easyJet with worldwide rights to use the brand on a basis which protects easyJet's current commercial activities. Under the terms of the licence, easyJet is granted rights to use the brand for business activities, including commercial air travel and ancillary services, such as car hire, hotel arrangements and package holidays sold through easyJet holidays, as well as other activities.

Any adverse impact on the brand, the termination of the brand licence or the post-termination use of the brand by a competing airline, could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition, results of operations and prospects and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Extensive and changing legislative and regulatory oversight

The airline industry is subject to extensive and changing legislative and regulatory requirements at Austrian, Swiss, UK and European level. Changes to legislative and regulatory requirements occur frequently.

Additional laws, regulations and taxes, that have been proposed from time to time, could significantly increase the cost of airline operations, reduce revenues and/or result in fines and penalties if not adhered to. For example, in November 2024, the Spanish Ministerio de Consumo (Ministry of Consumer Affairs) issued easyJet with a €29 million fine for its hand luggage policy and the charges applied to cabin bags. easyJet is appealing this and believes its policy is entirely lawful. easyJet is also exposed to legislative and regulatory oversight in many jurisdictions. New regulations could have a negative impact on easyJet's costs and business model. For example, more safety and/or security requirements could impact easyJet's ability to manage quick turnarounds and therefore may compromise aircraft utilisation or may impose additional costs. easyJet cannot anticipate all changes that may be made in the future including changes made in response to the UK leaving the EU, nor the possible adverse impact of such changes, including on its operations, financial condition or prospects. Its ability to keep well informed of, adapt to and comply with any changes is key to maintaining its operational and financial performance. Any such new legislation or regulations could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Changes to regional, national or international law or regulations

easyJet is subject not only to English laws and regulations but also to the laws and regulations of the EU and other nations in which it operates, together with international organisations and international, bilateral and multilateral treaties. The scope of such laws and regulations includes (among other things) infrastructure issues relating to slot capacity and route flying rights, environmental and security requirements (including the requirements of EU CSRD), safety, licensing, competition, data protection, customer protection (including rights to refunds) and tax. Additional laws, regulations, taxes and airport rates and charges may be proposed from time to time that could significantly increase the cost of easyJet's operations or reduce its revenues. Furthermore, while easyJet can neither fully anticipate all changes that may be made in the future nor the possible adverse impact of such changes, its ability to comply with such regulations is key to maintaining its operational and financial performance. Any such reduction in revenues or increase in costs could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition and results of operations and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Compliance with Data Protection Legislation

easyJet processes the personal data of millions of its customers each year as part of its flight and holidays operations and is subject to significant obligations in respect of data protection legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the EU General Data Protection Regulation) and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the UK General Data Protection Regulation). In the event that easyJet is unable to meet such obligations, it may be subject to regulatory action from national supervisory authorities who can levy administrative penalties of up to 4.0 per cent. of companies' global annual turnover in cases of significant non-compliance.

Additionally, easyJet may be subject to claims for material and non-material damage from groups of affected customers and employees as part of civil claims.

On 17 August 2023, the Information Commissioner's Office closed its investigation against easyJet in respect of the cyber-attack announced on 19 May 2020 whereby the email address and booking details of approximately 9 million customers and credit card details of 2,208 customers were accessed. However, the associated class action filed in May 2020 in the UK High Court by a law firm representing a class of customers affected by the data breach arising from the cyberattack remains active. Similarly, other claims have been commenced or are threatened in certain other courts and jurisdictions. The merit, likely outcome and potential impact on easyJet of the class action claims are subject to a number of significant uncertainties and therefore easyJet is unable to assess the likely outcome or quantum of these claims at the date of this Offering Circular.

The cost of regulatory or legal action, and any reputational damage suffered, could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition and results of operations and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Requirement to compensate passengers for certain flight delays and cancellations

Under European legislation (EU Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 ("EU 261")) and equivalent UK legislation (the Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers' Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 ("APR")), airlines including easyJet are required to compensate passengers for certain flight delays and cancellations, among other things. In particular, the legislation provides for compensation in a cash amount equal to €250/£220, €400/£350 or €600/£520 per passenger, depending on the length of the flight and the circumstances, with short-haul flights typically subject to compensation in an amount equal to €250/£220 per passenger where this is due. In addition, passengers may also be entitled to assistance, including meals, drinks and telephone calls, as well as hotel accommodation, depending on the length of the delay, and easyJet may also be required to pay the costs of repatriating passengers. In certain circumstances, easyJet must offer the option of a refund of the cost of the unused ticket. There can be no assurance that it will be able to manage all circumstances which may give rise to such delays and/or cancellations. In such circumstances, easyJet may be required to make compensatory payments to affected passengers and may also suffer reputational damage. Although easyJet maintains and regularly assesses its provision for EU 261 / APR compensation and other similar compensation payable in respect of flight delays and cancellations, any such claims could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Governmental policy changes

Certain markets in which easyJet operates are subject to government regulation aimed at controlling capacity and restricting market entry. Relaxation or tightening of such controls and restrictions could impact easyJet's ability to compete with other airlines and therefore have a negative impact on easyJet's margins. If there is a negative impact on easyJet's margins or an increase in easyJet's costs, this in turn could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's financial condition and results of operations and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Requirement to maintain majority share ownership and control

Under EU law, an EU member state may only licence an air carrier to operate airline services if the majority of its share capital is owned (whether directly or indirectly), and the carrier is effectively controlled by, member states of the European Economic Area ("EEA") or their nationals (including Switzerland and/or Swiss nationals). easyJet plc's articles of association contain provisions to allow it to take action, if necessary, to ensure it continues to satisfy these EU ownership and control requirements. However, if easyJet fails to comply with this EU law requirement, easyJet could lose the ability to operate airline services in the EU, which could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's operations, financial condition and prospects. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Compliance with contractual obligations

A failure by easyJet to comply with its contractual obligations or to pay its indebtedness, suppliers (including, for example, easyJet's commitments in respect of capital expenditure) or staff could result in a variety of material adverse consequences, including acceleration of indebtedness, the exercise of remedies by its creditors, lessors or other co-contracting parties, or termination of the relevant contract, and such defaults could trigger additional cross defaults under other indebtedness or agreements. In such situations, easyJet may not be able to repay the accelerated indebtedness or fulfil its obligations under certain contracts, make required aircraft lease payments or otherwise cover its fixed costs. For example, once default has occurred, the lenders under such financing arrangements or the lessors under such leasing arrangements could enforce upon all or substantially all of the assets of easyJet which secure its obligations in accordance with the terms of the relevant financing or leasing agreement. Such failure to pay or resulting enforcement action could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and prospects of easyJet and could therefore affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Non-compliance with internal corporate governance requirements

easyJet has a number of company-wide policies, including an anti-bribery and corruption policy based on applicable laws, as well as a gifts and hospitality policy and an online register to record all gifts and hospitality that are accepted by employees. There can be no assurance that violations of easyJet's internal corporate governance requirements will not occur, either deliberately or through employee or agent ignorance. In the event violations do occur, they could have material adverse effects on easyJet's reputation and employee and customer trust, and result in fines and sustained adverse media coverage, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on easyJet's business, financial condition and results of operations and therefore on the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

PEOPLE

Industrial action

easyJet and its suppliers have a significant number of employees who are members of trade unions and also have key third party service providers whose employees are members of trade unions. easyJet and its suppliers regularly negotiate with a number of the unionised groups including pilots, cabin crew, ramp staff and engineering staff. Whilst collective bargaining and other agreements with these unions takes place regularly, a breakdown in the bargaining process could lead to strikes or other industrial action being taken by easyJet employees, or by the employees of key third party service providers, which could impact on easyJet's ability to maintain its flight schedules (for example, recent action taken by air traffic control staff in various countries which has resulted in flight cancellations for easyJet) and prevent easyJet from using aircraft efficiently. There can be no assurance that easyJet will not experience strikes or other industrial action. Any drawn out dispute including the prospect of strikes or other industrial action, even if it does not ultimately result in strikes or other industrial action taking place, could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's reputation and cause consumers to book with easyJet's competitors. Any such strike or other industrial action, or any threat of a strike or other industrial action, could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations, financial condition and prospects. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Talent and critical skills acquisition

easyJet's current and future success depends upon the efforts, abilities and knowledge of its personnel, including the management team, and other key personnel. There is competition for highly qualified personnel within the aviation industry and any loss of members of management or key personnel, due to resignation, dismissal or prolonged absence may result in the loss of industry specific knowledge as well as relationships with key suppliers, airport authorities, slot coordinators, trade unions and other representative bodies. If an adequate replacement cannot be found within a suitable time period, the loss of any of the key management personnel of easyJet could lead to operational or strategic uncertainty and the inefficient use of resources.

Additionally, easyJet is exposed to the risk that it may not be able to retain or attract the same number of EU employees and may need to hire a substantial number of new staff in order to comply with any new labour and immigration laws introduced following the UK's departure from the EU. There can be no assurance that easyJet will be able to retain or attract the same or similarly skilled employees as are currently employed.

Failure to attract and retain key talent in the context of the highly competitive aviation recruitment market or to retain or attract the same number of EU employees could adversely affect easyJet's ability to deliver its strategic objectives and could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations and financial condition. This in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

Continuity of services

easyJet is dependent on a mixture of critical IT systems and processes, employees, buildings, facilities and third-party suppliers and service providers. easyJet's agreements with third party service providers for services cover a significant proportion of its operation and cost base, including ground handling, aircraft maintenance, its call centres, catering and its fuel supply. Failure to adequately manage performance of such systems, suppliers or service providers and failure by such suppliers or service providers to perform their obligations could adversely affect easyJet's reputation and its operational and financial performance. Loss of third-party contracts or the inability to renew or negotiate favourable replacement contracts could have a material adverse effect on easyJet's results of operations and financial condition. Destructive cyberattacks also present a risk to continuity of the services easyJet is able to offer. Any operational disruption suffered by easyJet could have an adverse effect on easyJet's brand and reputation, as well as generating adverse media coverage. Any of these factors in turn could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to fulfil their obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees, respectively.

FACTORS WHICH ARE MATERIAL FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSING THE MARKET RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH NOTES ISSUED UNDER THE PROGRAMME.

Risks related to the structure of a particular issue of Notes

A range of Notes may be issued under the Programme. A number of these Notes may have features which involve particular risks for potential investors. Set out below is a description of the most common such features, distinguishing between factors which may occur in relation to any Notes:

If the Relevant Issuer has the right to redeem any Notes at its option, this may limit the market value of the Notes concerned and an investor may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a manner which achieves a similar effective return.

An optional redemption feature is likely to limit the market value of Notes. During any period when the Relevant Issuer may elect to redeem Notes, the market value of those Notes generally will not rise substantially above the price at which they can be redeemed. This also may be true prior to any redemption period.

The Relevant Issuer may be expected to redeem Notes when its cost of borrowing is lower than the interest rate on the Notes. At those times, an investor generally would not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Notes being redeemed and may only be able to do so at a significantly lower rate. Potential investors should consider reinvestment risk in light of other investments available at that time.

If the Notes include a feature to convert the interest basis from a fixed rate to a floating rate, or vice versa, this may affect the secondary market and the market value of the Notes concerned.

Fixed/Floating Rate Notes are Notes which bear interest at a rate that converts from a fixed rate to a floating rate, or from a floating rate to a fixed rate. Such a feature to convert the interest basis, and any subsequent conversion of the interest basis, may affect the secondary market in, and the market value of, such Notes as the change of interest basis may result in a lower interest return for Noteholders. Where the Notes convert from a fixed rate to a floating rate, the spread on the Fixed/Floating Rate Notes may be less favourable than then prevailing spreads on comparable Floating Rate Notes tied to the same reference rate. In addition, the new floating rate at any time may be lower than the rates on other Notes. Where the Notes convert from a floating rate to a fixed rate, the fixed rate may be lower than then prevailing rates on those Notes and could affect the market value of an investment in the relevant Notes.

Notes which are issued at a substantial discount or premium may experience price volatility in response to changes in market interest rates.

The market values of securities issued at a substantial discount (such as Zero Coupon Notes) or premium to their principal amount tend to fluctuate more in relation to general changes in interest rates than do prices for more conventional interest-bearing securities. Generally, the longer the remaining term of such securities, the greater the price volatility as compared to more conventional interest-bearing securities with comparable maturities.

The regulation and reform of benchmarks may adversely affect the value of Notes linked to or referencing such benchmarks

Interest rates and indices which are deemed to be benchmarks (including EURIBOR) are the subject of ongoing national and international regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms may cause such benchmarks to perform differently than in the past, to disappear entirely, or have other consequences which cannot be predicted. Any such consequence could have a material adverse effect on any Notes referencing such a benchmark.

Regulation (EU) No 2016/11 (the "EU Benchmarks Regulation") applies, subject to certain transitional provisions, to the provision of benchmarks, the contribution of input data to a benchmark and the use of a benchmark within the EU. Among other things, it (i) requires benchmark administrators to be authorised or registered (or, if non-EU-based, to be subject to an equivalent regime or otherwise recognised or endorsed) and (ii) prevents certain uses by EU supervised entities of benchmarks of administrators that are not authorised or registered (or, if non-EU based, not deemed equivalent or recognised or endorsed). Regulation (EU) No 2016/1011 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the "UK Benchmarks Regulation") among other things, applies to the provision of benchmarks and the use of a benchmark in the UK. Similarly, it prohibits the use in the UK by UK supervised entities of benchmarks of administrators that are not authorised by the FCA or registered on the FCA register (or, if non-UK based, not deemed equivalent or recognised or endorsed).

These reforms (including the EU Benchmarks Regulation and the UK Benchmarks Regulation, as applicable) could have a material impact on any Notes linked to or referencing a benchmark, in particular, if the methodology or other terms of the relevant benchmark are changed in order to comply with the requirements imposed thereunder. Such changes could, among other things, have the effect of reducing, increasing or otherwise affecting the volatility of the published rate or level of the relevant benchmark. The euro risk free-rate working group for the euro area published a set of guiding principles and high level recommendations for fallback provisions in, amongst other things, new euro denominated cash products (including bonds) referencing EURIBOR. The guiding principles indicate, among other things, that continuing to reference EURIBOR in relevant contracts (without robust fallback provisions) may increase the risk to the euro area financial system. On 11 May 2021, the euro risk-free rate working group published its recommendations on EURIBOR fallback trigger events and fallback rates. On 4 December 2023, the euro risk free-rate working group issued its final statement, announcing completion of its mandate.

The potential elimination of EURIBOR or any other benchmark, or changes in the manner of administration of any benchmark, could require an adjustment to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, or result in other consequences, in respect of any Notes referencing such benchmark. More broadly, any of the international or national reforms, or the general increased regulatory scrutiny of benchmarks, could increase the costs and risks of administering or otherwise participating in the setting of a benchmark and complying with any such regulations or requirements. Such factors may have (without limitation) the following effects on certain benchmarks: (i) discouraging market participants from continuing to administer or contribute to a benchmark; (ii) triggering changes in the rules or methodologies used in the benchmark and/or (iii) leading to the disappearance of the benchmark. Any of the above changes or any other consequential changes as a result of international or national reforms or other initiatives or investigations, could have a material adverse effect on the value of and return on any Notes linked to, referencing, or otherwise dependent (in whole or in part) upon, a benchmark.

The Terms and Conditions of the Notes provide for certain fallback arrangements in the event that a published benchmark, including an inter-bank offered rate such as EURIBOR, ceases to be published or a Benchmark Event (as defined in the Condition 4.2(h)) otherwise occurs, including the possibility that the Rate of Interest or other amounts payable under the Notes could be set by reference to a Successor Rate or an Alternative Rate (both as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes) determined by an Independent Adviser (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes), and that, if a Successor Rate or an Alternative Rate (as the case may be) is determined, an Adjustment Spread (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of the Notes) shall also be determined by the relevant Independent Adviser and may also include amendments to the Terms and Conditions of the Notes and the Trust Deed (without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders) to ensure the proper operation of the Successor Rate, Alternative Rate or Adjustment Spread, as applicable. The use of a Successor Rate or Alternative Rate (including with the application of an Adjustment Spread) will still result in any Notes referencing an Original Reference Rate performing differently (which may include payment of a lower Rate of Interest) than they would if the Original Reference Rate were to continue to apply in its current form. No consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders shall be required in connection with effecting any relevant Successor Rate or Alternative Rate (as applicable) or any other related adjustments and/or amendments described above. Any such adjustment or amendment could have unexpected commercial consequences and there can be no assurance that, due to the particular circumstances of each Noteholder or Couponholder, any such adjustment will be favourable to each Noteholder or Couponholder.

If, following the occurrence of a Benchmark Event, no Successor Rate or Alternative Rate or, in either case, the applicable Adjustment Spread is determined, the ultimate fallback for the purposes of the calculation of the Rate of Interest for a particular Interest Period may result in the Rate of Interest for the last preceding Interest Period being used. This may result in the effective application of a fixed rate for Floating Rate Notes based on the rate which was last observed on the Relevant Screen Page. Due to the uncertainty concerning the availability of Successor Rates and Alternative Rates, the involvement of an Independent Adviser and the potential for further regulatory developments, there is a risk that the relevant fallback provisions may not operate as intended at the relevant time.

Any such consequences could have a material adverse effect on the value of and return on any such Notes. Moreover, any of the above matters or any other significant change to the setting or existence of any relevant rate could affect the ability of the Relevant Issuer or either Guarantor to meet their obligations under the Floating Rate Notes or could have a material adverse effect on the value or liquidity of, and the amount payable under, the Floating Rate Notes.

Investors should consult their own independent advisers and make their own assessment about the potential risks imposed by the EU Benchmarks Regulation and/or the UK Benchmarks Regulation, as applicable, or any of the international or national reforms and the possible application of the benchmark replacement provisions of Notes in making any investment decision with respect to any Notes referencing a benchmark.

There is no active trading market for the Notes

Notes issued under the Programme will be new securities which may not be widely distributed and for which there is currently no active trading market (unless in the case of any particular Tranche, such Tranche is to be consolidated and to form a single series with a Tranche of Notes which is already issued). If the Notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount to their initial offering price, depending upon prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities, general economic conditions and the financial condition of the Relevant Issuer. Although applications have been made for the Notes issued under the Programme to be admitted to the Official List and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market, there is no assurance that such applications will be accepted, that any particular Tranche of Notes will be so admitted or that an active trading market will develop. Accordingly, there is no assurance as to the development or liquidity of any trading market for any particular Tranche of Notes.

The Notes may be redeemed prior to maturity

In the event that the Relevant Issuer has or will become obliged to increase the amounts payable in respect of any Notes due to any withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes or duties of whatever nature imposed or levied by or on behalf of any relevant tax jurisdiction, or any of the Guarantors would be unable for reasons outside of its control to procure payment by the Relevant Issuer and in making payment itself such Guarantor would be required to pay such additional amounts, the Relevant Issuer may redeem all outstanding Notes in accordance with the Conditions.

In addition, if in the case of any particular Tranche of Notes the relevant Final Terms specifies that the Notes are redeemable at the Relevant Issuer's option in certain other circumstances, the Relevant Issuer may choose to redeem the Notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively low. In such circumstances an investor may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that of the relevant Notes.

Risks related to Notes generally

Set out below is a description of material risks relating to the Notes generally:

Because the Global Notes are held by or on behalf of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, investors will have to rely on their procedures for transfers, payments and communications with the Relevant Issuer

Notes issued under the Programme may be represented by one or more Global Notes. Such Global Notes will be deposited with a common depositary or, as the case may be, common safekeeper for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"). Except in the circumstances described in the relevant Global Note, investors will not be entitled to receive definitive Notes. Each of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and their respective direct and indirect participants will maintain records of the beneficial interests in the Global Notes held through it. While the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes, investors will be able to trade their beneficial interests only through Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.

While the Notes are represented by one or more Global Notes the Relevant Issuer will discharge its payment obligations under the Notes by making payments to the common depositary or, as the case may be, common safekeeper for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg for distribution to their account holders. A holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and its participants to receive payments under the relevant Notes. The Relevant Issuer has no responsibility or liability for the records relating to, or payments made in respect of, beneficial interests in the Global Notes.

Holders of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not have a direct right to vote in respect of the relevant Notes. Instead, such holders will be permitted to act only to the extent that they are enabled by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg to appoint appropriate proxies.

The conditions of the Notes contain provisions which may permit their modification without the consent of all investors and confer significant discretions on the Trustee which may be exercised without the consent of the Noteholders and without regard to the individual interests of particular Noteholders.

The conditions of the Notes contain provisions for calling meetings of Noteholders (including meetings by telephone or video conference) to consider and vote upon matters affecting their interests generally, or to pass resolutions in writing or through the use of electronic consents. These provisions permit defined majorities to bind all Noteholders including Noteholders who did not attend and vote at the relevant meeting or, as the case may be, did not sign the written resolution or give their consent electronically, and including those Noteholders who voted in a manner contrary to the majority.

The conditions of the Notes also provide that the Trustee may, without the consent of Noteholders and without regard to the interests of particular Noteholders, agree to (i) any modification of, or to the waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed breach of, any of the provisions of the Notes or (ii) determine that any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default (as defined in the Trust Deed) shall not be treated as such or (iii) agree to the substitution of (a) (A) any holding company of easyJet plc, (B) any other company being a Subsidiary (as defined in the Conditions) of easyJet plc (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Guarantor which is a Subsidiary of easyJet plc) or (C) where easyJet B.V. is the Issuer, easyJet plc, or any Successor in Business (as defined in the Trust Deed) of the Relevant Issuer as principal debtor under the Notes in place of the Relevant Issuer and/or (b) any Successor in Business of any of the Guarantors as guarantor of the Notes in place of that Guarantor, in the circumstances described in the Trust Deed and the conditions of the Notes, provided that in the case of (i), (ii) and (iii), that the Trustee is of the opinion that to do so would not be materially prejudicial to the interests of Noteholders.

The conditions of the Notes and the Trust Deed also provide that the Trustee shall, without the consent of the Noteholders, agree to the substitution of easyJet plc in place of a Guarantor (or another Guarantor, where easyJet B.V. is the Issuer) so that the substituted entity shall no longer be an obligor in respect of the Notes, subject to the relevant Guarantor no longer being party to the Facilities Agreement (as defined in Condition 14.2) and to certain other conditions being complied with as further described in the Trust Deed and the conditions of the Notes. Noteholders should note that, in this particular circumstance, the substitution right is mandatory and thus such a substitution will not be subject to any material prejudice determination by the Trustee with respect to the interests of the Noteholders and therefore could potentially be materially prejudicial to the interests of Noteholders. In addition, the Trustee shall be obliged to concur with the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors in effecting any Benchmark Amendments in the circumstances and as otherwise set out in Condition 4.2(h) without the consent of Noteholders or Couponholders.

A Restructuring Plan implemented pursuant to English or Dutch law may modify or disapply certain terms of the Notes or the relevant Guarantee without the consent of the Noteholders.

Where the Relevant Issuer or a Guarantor encounters, or is likely to encounter, financial difficulties that are affecting, or will or may affect, its ability to carry on business as a going concern, it may propose a Restructuring Plan (a "Plan") with its creditors under Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 (introduced by the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020) to eliminate, reduce, prevent or mitigate the effect of any of those financial difficulties. Should this happen, creditors whose rights are affected are organised into creditor classes and can vote on any such Plan (subject to being excluded from the vote by the English courts for having no genuine economic interest in the Relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor). Provided that one class of creditors (who would receive a payment, or have a genuine economic interest in the Relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor) has approved the Plan, and in the view of the English courts any dissenting class(es) who did not approve the Plan are no worse off under the Plan than they would be in the event of the "relevant alternative" (such as, broadly, liquidation or administration), then the English court can sanction the Plan where it would be a proper exercise of its discretion. A sanctioned Plan is binding on all creditors and members, regardless of whether they approved it. Any such sanctioned Plan in relation to the Relevant Issuer or the relevant Guarantor may, therefore, adversely affect the rights of Noteholders and the price or value of their investment in the Notes, as it may have the effect of modifying or disapplying certain terms of the Notes (by, for example, writing down the principal amount of the Notes, modifying the interest payable on the Notes, the maturity date or dates on which any payments are due or substituting the Relevant Issuer) or modifying or disapplying certain terms of the relevant Guarantee or substituting the relevant Guarantor.

On 6 October 2020 the Dutch legislator adopted a bill for the Act on Court Confirmation of Extrajudicial Restructuring Plans (Wet homologatie onderhands akkoord) ("WHOA"), with the aim to implement a restructuring instrument enabling companies in financial distress to restructure their debts without the need to initiate formal insolvency procedures (such as bankruptcy or moratorium of payments). The bill entered into force on 1 January 2021. The goal of the new legislation is to introduce a preventive restructuring procedure enabling debtors in financial difficulties to restructure at an early stage and avoid insolvency. A restructuring plan under the new legislation can be proposed by a debtor who foresees that it will not be able to continue paying its due and payable debts (the debts as they fall due). Under such circumstances, the debtor or a court appointed restructuring specialist may offer a restructuring plan to the debtor's creditors and shareholders. A restructuring plan could propose an amendment or (partial) discharge of the rights and claims of all creditors and shareholders involved. Once approved and confirmed by the relevant percentage of creditors and the court, such restructuring plan is binding on all creditors and shareholders involved. Subject to certain safeguards, creditors and shareholders who have voted against the restructuring plan could be (cross-) crammed down and thus be bound by the restructuring plan. Taking into account the provisions in the act, claims against a debtor can, inter alia, be (partially) discharged or extended as a result of a restructuring plan if the relevant majority of creditors within a class or a more senior class vote in favour of such a plan and the court subsequently approves the plan. As a result hereof, it may well be that claims against easyJet B.V. and the Guarantor can be compromised as a result of a composition if the relevant majority of creditors within a class vote in favour of such a composition.

The value of the Notes and the Guarantees could be adversely affected by a change in English law or administrative practice.

The conditions of the Notes are based on English law in effect as at the date of this Offering Circular. No assurance can be given as to the impact of any possible judicial decision or change to English law or administrative practice after the date of this Offering Circular and any such change could materially adversely impact the ability of the Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors to make payments under the Notes issued under the Programme or to comply with their respective obligations under the transaction documents to which they are a party. This may consequentially affect the value of any Notes affected by it.

Investors who hold less than the minimum Specified Denomination may be unable to sell their Notes and may be adversely affected if definitive Notes are subsequently required to be issued.

In relation to any issue of Notes which have denominations consisting of a minimum Specified Denomination plus one or more higher integral multiples of another smaller amount, it is possible that such Notes may be traded in amounts in excess of the minimum Specified Denomination that are not integral multiples of such minimum Specified Denomination. In such a case a holder who, as a result of trading such amounts, holds an amount which is less than the minimum Specified Denomination in their account with the relevant clearing system would not be able to sell the remainder of such holding without first purchasing a principal amount of Notes at or in excess of the minimum Specified Denomination such that its holding amounts to a Specified Denomination. Further, a holder who, as a result of trading such amounts, holds an amount which is less than the minimum Specified Denomination in their account with the relevant clearing system at the relevant time may not receive a definitive Note in respect of such holding (should definitive Notes be printed) and would need to purchase a principal amount of Notes at or in excess of the minimum Specified Denomination such that its holding amounts to a Specified Denomination.

If such Notes in definitive form are issued, holders should be aware that definitive Notes which have a denomination that is not an integral multiple of the minimum Specified Denomination may be illiquid and difficult to trade.

Risks related to the market generally

Set out below is a description of material market risks, including liquidity risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk:

An active secondary market in respect of the Notes may never be established or may be illiquid and this would adversely affect the value at which an investor could sell their Notes.

Notes may have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop. If a market does develop, it may not be very liquid. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell their Notes easily or at prices that will provide them with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market.

If an investor holds Notes which are not denominated in the investor's home currency, they will be exposed to movements in exchange rates adversely affecting the value of their holding. In addition, the imposition of exchange controls in relation to any Notes could result in an investor not receiving payments on those Notes.

The Relevant Issuer will pay principal and interest on the Notes and the Guarantors will make any payments under the Guarantees in the Specified Currency. This presents certain risks relating to currency conversions if an investor's financial activities are denominated principally in a currency or currency unit (the "Investor's Currency") other than the Specified Currency. These include the risk that exchange rates may significantly change (including changes due to devaluation of the Specified Currency or revaluation of the Investor's Currency) and the risk that authorities with jurisdiction over the Investor's Currency may impose or modify exchange controls. An appreciation in the value of the Investor's Currency relative to the Specified Currency would decrease (1) the Investor's Currency equivalent yield on the Notes, (2) the Investor's Currency-equivalent value of the principal payable on the Notes and (3) the Investor's Currency equivalent market value of the Notes.

Government and monetary authorities may impose (as some have done in the past) exchange controls that could adversely affect an applicable exchange rate or the ability of the Relevant Issuer or the Guarantors to make payments in respect of the Notes. As a result, investors may receive less interest or principal than expected, or no interest or principal.

The value of Fixed Rate Notes may be adversely affected by movements in market interest rates.

Investment in Fixed Rate Notes involves the risk that if market interest rates subsequently increase above the rate paid on the Fixed Rate Notes, this will adversely affect the value of the Fixed Rate Notes.

Credit ratings assigned to the Relevant Issuer, the Guarantors or any Notes may not reflect all the risks associated with an investment in those Notes.

One or more independent credit rating agencies may assign credit ratings to the Relevant Issuer, the Guarantors or the Notes. The ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional factors discussed above, and other factors that may affect the value of the Notes. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised, suspended or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time.

In general, European regulated investors are restricted under the CRA Regulation from using credit ratings for regulatory purposes in the EEA, unless such ratings are issued by a credit rating agency established in the EEA and registered under the CRA Regulation (and such registration has not been withdrawn or suspended, subject to transitional provisions that apply in certain circumstances). Such general restriction will also apply in the case of credit ratings issued by third country non-EEA credit rating agencies, unless the relevant credit ratings are endorsed by an EEA-registered credit rating agency or the relevant third country rating agency is certified in accordance with the CRA Regulation (and such endorsement action or certification, as the case may be, has not been withdrawn or suspended, subject to transitional provisions that apply in certain circumstances).

Investors regulated in the UK are subject to similar restrictions under the UK CRA Regulation. As such, UK regulated investors are required to use for UK regulatory purposes ratings issued by a credit rating agency established in the UK and registered under the UK CRA Regulation. In the case of credit ratings issued by third country non-UK credit rating agencies, third country credit ratings are either (a) endorsed by a UK registered credit rating agency; or (b) issued by a third country credit rating agency that is certified in accordance with the UK CRA Regulation. Note this is subject, in each case, to (a) the relevant UK registration, certification or endorsement, as the case may be, has not been withdrawn or suspended, and to (b) transitional provisions that apply in certain circumstances. If the status of the rating agency rating the Notes changes for the purposes of the CRA Regulation or the UK CRA Regulation, relevant regulated investors may no longer be able to use the rating for regulatory purposes in the EEA or the UK, as applicable, and the Notes may have a different regulatory treatment, which may impact the value of the Notes and their liquidity in the secondary market. Certain information with respect to the credit rating agencies and ratings is set out on the cover of this Offering Circular.

Each Guarantor may be released.

In accordance with the Conditions and the Trust Deed, each Guarantor (other than, where easyJet B.V. is the Issuer, easyJet plc) may be released and cease to be a Guarantor (and the relevant Guarantee terminated) subject to certain conditions (including certification by easyJet plc (either in its capacity as an Issuer or in its capacity as a Guarantor, as applicable) that, after having provided details of the proposed Guarantor release to each of the Rating Agencies then rating the Notes, each Rating Agency has either (a) confirmed in writing that it has determined that it would not downgrade or withdraw the credit rating assigned by it to the Notes or (b) not indicated to easyJet plc within 30 days of easyJet plc providing details of the proposed Guarantor release to such Rating Agency, that it would downgrade or withdraw (or is considering downgrading or withdrawing) the credit rating assigned by it to the Notes, in each case as a result of such release, and that the relevant Guarantor will not be a party to, or an obligor under, the Facilities Agreement and easyJet plc (or a Subsidiary of easyJet plc which is guaranteed by easyJet plc) will be the principal obligor under the Facilities Agreement) (See "Terms and Conditions—Release of a Guarantor").

Once a Guarantor has been released it will have no further obligation in respect of any amount due under any Notes.

FORM OF THE NOTES

Each Tranche of Notes will be in bearer form and will initially be issued in the form of a temporary global note (a "Temporary Global Note") or, if so specified in the applicable Final Terms, a permanent global note (a "Permanent Global Note" and, together with a Temporary Global Note, each a "Global Note") which, in either case, will:

  • (i) if the Global Notes are intended to be issued in new global note ("NGN") form, as stated in the applicable Final Terms, be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a common safekeeper (the "Common Safekeeper") for Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"); and
  • (ii) if the Global Notes are not intended to be issued in NGN Form, be delivered on or prior to the original issue date of the Tranche to a common depositary (the "Common Depositary") for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.

Where the Global Notes issued in respect of any Tranche are in NGN form, the applicable Final Terms will also indicate whether or not such Global Notes are intended to be held in a manner which would allow Eurosystem eligibility. Any indication that the Global Notes are to be so held does not necessarily mean that the Notes of the relevant Tranche will be recognised as eligible collateral for Eurosystem monetary policy and intra-day credit operations by the Eurosystem either upon issue or at any times during their life as such recognition depends upon satisfaction of the Eurosystem eligibility criteria. The Common Safekeeper for NGNs will either be Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg or another entity approved by Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, as indicated in the applicable Final Terms.

Whilst any Note is represented by a Temporary Global Note, payments of principal, interest (if any) and any other amount payable in respect of the Notes due prior to the Exchange Date (as defined below) will be made (against presentation of the Temporary Global Note if the Temporary Global Note is not intended to be issued in NGN form) only to the extent that certification (in a form to be provided) to the effect that the beneficial owners of interests in the Temporary Global Note are not U.S. persons or persons who have purchased for resale to any U.S. person, as required by U.S. Treasury regulations, has been received by Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as applicable, has given a like certification (based on the certifications it has received) to the Agent.

On and after the date (the "Exchange Date") which is 40 days after a Temporary Global Note is issued, interests in such Temporary Global Note will be exchangeable (free of charge) upon a request as described therein either for (a) interests in a Permanent Global Note of the same Series or (b) definitive Notes of the same Series with, where applicable, interest coupons and talons attached (as indicated in the applicable Final Terms and subject, in the case of definitive Notes, to such notice period as is specified in the applicable Final Terms), in each case against certification of beneficial ownership as described above unless such certification has already been given. The holder of a Temporary Global Note will not be entitled to collect any payment of interest, principal or other amount due on or after the Exchange Date unless, upon due certification, exchange of the Temporary Global Note for an interest in a Permanent Global Note or for definitive Notes is improperly withheld or refused.

Payments of principal, interest (if any) or any other amounts on a Permanent Global Note will be made through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (against presentation or surrender (as the case may be) of the Permanent Global Note if the Permanent Global Note is not intended to be issued in NGN form) without any requirement for certification.

The applicable Final Terms will specify that a Permanent Global Note will be exchangeable (free of charge), in whole but not in part, for definitive Notes with, where applicable, interest coupons and talons attached upon either (a) not less than 60 days' written notice from Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in such Permanent Global Note) to the Agent as described therein or (b) only upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event. For these purposes, "Exchange Event" means that (i) an Event of Default (as defined in Condition 9) has occurred and is continuing, or (ii) the Relevant Issuer has been notified that both Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg have been closed for business for a continuous period of 14 days (other than by reason of holiday, statutory or otherwise) or have announced an intention permanently to cease business or have in fact done so and no successor clearing system satisfactory to the Trustee is available or (iii) the Relevant Issuer or any Guarantor has or will become subject to adverse tax consequences which would not be suffered were the Notes represented by the Permanent Global Note in definitive form and a certificate to such effect signed by an Authorised Officer (as defined in Condition 6) of the Relevant Issuer is given to the Trustee. The Relevant Issuer will promptly give notice to Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13 if an Exchange Event occurs. In the event of the occurrence of an Exchange Event, Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg (acting on the instructions of any holder of an interest in such Permanent Global Note) or the Trustee may give notice to the Agent requesting exchange and, in the event of the occurrence of an Exchange Event as described in (iii) above, the Relevant Issuer may also give notice to the Agent requesting exchange. Any such exchange shall occur not later than 45 days after the date of receipt of the first relevant notice by the Agent.

The exchange of a Permanent Global Note for definitive Notes upon notice from Euroclear and/or Clearstream (acting on the instructions of any holder) or at any time at the request of the Relevant Issuer should not be expressed to be applicable in the applicable Final Terms if the Notes are issued with a minimum Specified Denomination such as €100,000 (or its equivalent in another currency) plus one or more higher integral multiples of another smaller amount such as €1,000 (or its equivalent in another currency). Furthermore, such Specified Denomination construction is not permitted in relation to any issue of Notes which is to be represented on issue by a Temporary Global Note exchangeable for definitive Notes.

The following legend will appear on all Notes (other than Temporary Global Notes) and interest coupons relating to such Notes where TEFRA D is specified in the applicable Final Terms:

"ANY UNITED STATES PERSON WHO HOLDS THIS OBLIGATION WILL BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS UNDER THE UNITED STATES INCOME TAX LAWS, INCLUDING THE LIMITATIONS PROVIDED IN SECTIONS 165(j) AND 1287(a) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE."

The sections referred to provide that United States holders, with certain exceptions, will not be entitled to deduct any loss on Notes or interest coupons and will not be entitled to capital gains treatment in respect of any gain on any sale, disposition, redemption or payment of principal in respect of such Notes or interest coupons.

Notes which are represented by a Global Note will only be transferable in accordance with the rules and procedures for the time being of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be.

Pursuant to the Agency Agreement (as defined under "Terms and Conditions of the Notes"), the Agent shall arrange that, where a further Tranche of Notes is issued which is intended to form a single Series with an existing Tranche of Notes at a point after the Issue Date of the further Tranche, the Notes of such further Tranche shall be assigned a common code and ISIN which are different from the common code and ISIN assigned to Notes of any other Tranche of the same Series until such time as the Tranches are consolidated and form a single Series, which shall not be prior to the expiry of the distribution compliance period (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) applicable to the Notes of such Tranche.

Any reference herein to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever the context so permits, be deemed to include a reference to any additional or alternative clearing system specified in the applicable Final Terms.

No Noteholder or Couponholder shall be entitled to proceed directly against the Relevant Issuer or any of the Guarantors unless the Trustee, having become bound so to proceed, fails so to do within a reasonable period and the failure shall be continuing.

The Relevant Issuer and the Guarantors may agree with any Dealer and the Trustee that Notes may be issued in a form not contemplated by the Terms and Conditions of the Notes, in which event a new Offering Circular will be made available which will describe the effect of the agreement reached in relation to such Notes.

APPLICABLE FINAL TERMS

Set out below is the form of Final Terms which will be completed for each Tranche of Notes issued under the Programme.

[MiFID II PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPs ONLY TARGET MARKET – Solely for the purposes of [the/each] manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is eligible counterparties and professional clients only, each as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. [Consider any negative target market]. Any person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor") should take into consideration the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.]

[UK MiFIR PRODUCT GOVERNANCE / PROFESSIONAL INVESTORS AND ECPs ONLY TARGET MARKET – Solely for the purposes of [the/each] manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment in respect of the Notes has led to the conclusion that: (i) the target market for the Notes is only eligible counterparties, as defined in the FCA Handbook Conduct of Business Sourcebook ("COBS") and professional clients, as defined in Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the "EUWA") ("UK MiFIR"); and (ii) all channels for distribution of the Notes to eligible counterparties and professional clients are appropriate. [Consider any negative target market]. Any [distributor / person subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Notes (a "distributor")] should take into consideration the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to the FCA Handbook Product Intervention and Product Governance Sourcebook (the "UK MiFIR Product Governance Rules") is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Notes (by either adopting or refining the manufacturer['s/s'] target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels.]1

[PROHIBITION OF SALES TO EEA RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the "EEA"). For these purposes, a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of [MiFID II][Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II")]; or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (the "Prospectus Regulation"). Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.]2

[PROHIBITION OF SALES TO UK RETAIL INVESTORS – The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United Kingdom ("UK").

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE NOTES

The following are the Terms and Conditions of the Notes which will be incorporated by reference into each Global Note (as defined below) and each definitive Note, in the latter case only if permitted by the relevant stock exchange or other relevant authority (if any) and agreed by the Relevant Issuer and the relevant Dealer at the time of issue but, if not so permitted and agreed, such definitive Note will have endorsed thereon or attached thereto such Terms and Conditions. The applicable Final Terms (or the relevant provisions thereof) will be endorsed upon, or attached to, each Global Note and definitive Note. Reference should be made to "Applicable Final Terms" for a description of the content of Final Terms which will specify which of such terms are to apply in relation to the relevant Notes.

This Note is one of a Series (as defined below) of Notes issued by the Issuer named in the applicable Final Terms (as defined below) (the "Issuer") constituted by a supplemental trust deed (such trust deed as modified and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the "Trust Deed") dated 13 February 2024 made between easyJet plc ("easyJet plc"), easyJet FinCo B.V. ("easyJet B.V."), easyJet Airline Company Limited ("EACL") and Citicorp Trustee Company Limited (the "Trustee", which expression shall include any successor as Trustee).

References herein to the "Notes" shall be references to the Notes of this Series and shall mean:

  • (a) in relation to any Notes represented by a global Note (a "Global Note"), units of each Specified Denomination in the Specified Currency;
  • (b) any Global Note; and
  • (c) any definitive Notes issued in exchange for a Global Note.

The Notes and the Coupons (as defined below) have the benefit of an Agency Agreement (such Agency Agreement as amended and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the "Agency Agreement") dated 13 February 2024 and made between easyJet plc, easyJet B.V., EACL, the Trustee, Citibank, N.A., London Branch as issuing and principal paying agent and agent bank (the "Agent", which expression shall include any successor agent) and the other paying agents named therein (together with the Agent, the "Paying Agents", which expression shall include any additional or successor paying agents).

The final terms for this Note (or the relevant provisions thereof) are set out in Part A of the Final Terms attached to or endorsed on this Note which supplement these Terms and Conditions (the "Conditions"). References to the "applicable Final Terms" are, unless otherwise stated, to Part A of the Final Terms (or the relevant provisions thereof) attached to or endorsed on this Note.

Interest bearing definitive Notes have interest coupons ("Coupons") and, in the case of Notes which, when issued in definitive form, have more than 27 interest payments remaining, talons for further Coupons ("Talons") attached on issue. Any reference herein to Coupons or coupons shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include a reference to Talons or talons. Global Notes do not have Coupons or Talons attached on issue.

The Trustee acts for the benefit of the holders for the time being of the Notes (the "Noteholders", which expression shall, in relation to any Notes represented by a Global Note, be construed as provided below) and the holders of the Coupons (the "Couponholders", which expression shall, unless the context otherwise requires, include the holders of the Talons), in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed.

As used herein, "Tranche" means Notes which are identical in all respects (including as to listing and admission to trading) and "Series" means a Tranche of Notes together with any further Tranche or Tranches of Notes which (a) are expressed to be consolidated and form a single series and (b) have the same terms and conditions or terms and conditions which are the same in all respects save for the amount and date of the first payment of interest thereon and the date from which interest starts to accrue.

Copies of the Trust Deed (including each Guarantee (as defined below)) and the Agency Agreement are (i) available for inspection or collection during normal business hours at the principal office for the time being of the Trustee being at 13 February 2024 at Citigroup Centre, Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5LB and at the specified office of each of the Paying Agents or (ii) may be provided by email to a Noteholder following their prior written request to the Trustee or any of the Paying Agents and provision of proof of holding and identity (in a form satisfactory to the Trustee or the relevant Paying Agent, as the case may be). If the Notes are to be admitted to trading on the main market of the London Stock Exchange the applicable Final Terms will be published on the website of the London Stock Exchange through a regulatory information service. The Noteholders and the Couponholders are deemed to have notice of, and are entitled to the benefit of, all the provisions of the Trust Deed (including each Guarantee), the Agency Agreement and the applicable Final Terms which are applicable to them. The statements in the Conditions include summaries of, and are subject to, the detailed provisions of the Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement.

Words and expressions defined in the Trust Deed, the Agency Agreement or used in the applicable Final Terms shall have the same meanings where used in the Conditions unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise stated and provided that, in the event of inconsistency between the Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement, the Trust Deed will prevail and, in the event of inconsistency between the Trust Deed or the Agency Agreement and the applicable Final Terms, the applicable Final Terms will prevail.

In the Conditions, "euro" means the currency introduced at the start of the third stage of European economic and monetary union pursuant to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, as amended.

1. FORM, DENOMINATION AND TITLE

The Notes are in bearer form and, in the case of definitive Notes, serially numbered, in the currency (the "Specified Currency") and the denominations (the "Specified Denomination(s)") specified in the applicable Final Terms. Notes of one Specified Denomination may not be exchanged for Notes of another Specified Denomination.

This Note may be a Fixed Rate Note, a Floating Rate Note or a Zero Coupon Note, or a combination of any of the foregoing, depending upon the Interest Basis shown in the applicable Final Terms.

Definitive Notes are issued with Coupons attached, unless they are Zero Coupon Notes in which case references to Coupons and Couponholders in the Conditions are not applicable.

Subject as set out below, title to the Notes and Coupons will pass by delivery. The Issuer, the Guarantors, the Paying Agents and the Trustee will (except as otherwise required by law) deem and treat the bearer of any Note or Coupon as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon or notice of any previous loss or theft thereof) for all purposes but, in the case of any Global Note, without prejudice to the provisions set out in the next succeeding paragraph.

For so long as any of the Notes is represented by a Global Note held on behalf of Euroclear Bank SA/NV ("Euroclear") and/or Clearstream Banking S.A. ("Clearstream, Luxembourg"), each person (other than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or of Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular nominal amount of such Notes (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as to the nominal amount of such Notes standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Paying Agents and the Trustee as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes other than with respect to the payment of principal or interest on such nominal amount of such Notes, for which purpose the bearer of the relevant Global Note shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantors, any Paying Agent and the Trustee as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes in accordance with and subject to the terms of the relevant Global Note and the expressions "Noteholder" and "holder of Notes" and related expressions shall be construed accordingly. In determining whether a particular person is entitled to a particular nominal amount of Notes as aforesaid, the Trustee may rely on such evidence and/or information and/or certification as it shall, in its absolute discretion, think fit and, if it does so rely, such evidence and/or information and/or certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all concerned.

Notes which are represented by a Global Note will be transferable only in accordance with the rules and procedures for the time being of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. References to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever the context so permits, be deemed to include a reference to any additional or alternative clearing system specified in Part B of the applicable Final Terms.

2. STATUS OF THE NOTES AND THE GUARANTEEs

2.1 Status of the Notes

The Notes and any relative Coupons are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the provisions of Condition 3) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves and (save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) equally with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations, if any) of the Issuer from time to time outstanding.

2.2 Status of the Guarantees

The payment of principal and interest in respect of the Notes and all other moneys payable by the Issuer under or pursuant to the Trust Deed has been unconditionally and (subject to the provisions of Condition 2.3) irrevocably guaranteed, on a joint and several basis, by each Guarantor in the Trust Deed. The obligations of each Guarantor under the relevant Guarantee (as defined below) are direct, unconditional, unsubordinated and (subject to the provisions of Condition 3) unsecured obligations of the relevant Guarantor and (save for certain obligations required to be preferred by law) rank equally with all other unsecured obligations (other than subordinated obligations, if any) of such Guarantor from time to time outstanding.

2.3 Release of a Guarantor

In accordance with the Trust Deed, a Guarantor (other than, where easyJet B.V. is the Issuer, easyJet plc) will cease to be a Guarantor and the relevant Guarantee will be terminated on the relevant Guarantee End Date.

Once a Guarantee has been terminated, the relevant Guarantor will be released from all of its obligations under such Guarantee and the Trust Deed and will have no further obligation in respect of any amount due under any Notes.

Each Guarantor shall be deemed to be aware of, and be bound by, the provisions of the Trust Deed and this Condition 2.3, and any such release. Each Guarantor remaining after any such release shall continue to be bound by the terms of its Guarantee, notwithstanding any such release of another Guarantor.

2.4 Additional Guarantors

The Issuer may from time to time and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Deed appoint or procure to be appointed, with effect from the relevant New Guarantee Date, any other entity (the "relevant entity") as an Additional Guarantor. In order to appoint an entity as an Additional Guarantor, the Issuer and the relevant entity shall (a) execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental deed substantially in the form scheduled to the Trust Deed or such other form satisfactory to the Trustee (acting reasonably), whereby the relevant entity provides a guarantee in respect of the Notes in favour of the Trustee and the Noteholders on substantially the same terms (subject to any laws applicable to any such new Guarantee or Additional Guarantor) as each other Guarantee (in the reasonable opinion of the Trustee) and agrees to be bound as a Guarantor under the Trust Deed, as more fully set out in the Trust Deed, and (b) comply with certain other conditions set out in the Trust Deed.

4. INTEREST

4.1 Interest on Fixed Rate Notes

Each Fixed Rate Note bears interest from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date at the rate(s) per annum equal to the Rate(s) of Interest. Interest will be payable in arrear on the Interest Payment Date(s) in each year up to (and including) the Maturity Date.

If the Notes are in definitive form, except as provided in the applicable Final Terms, the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date in respect of the Fixed Interest Period ending on (but excluding) such date will amount to the Fixed Coupon Amount. Payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date will, if so specified in the applicable Final Terms, amount to the Broken Amount so specified.

As used in the Conditions, "Fixed Interest Period" means the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest Payment Date.

Except in the case of Notes in definitive form where an applicable Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount is specified in the applicable Final Terms, interest shall be calculated in respect of any period by applying the Rate of Interest to:

  • (a) in the case of Fixed Rate Notes which are represented by a Global Note, the aggregate outstanding nominal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes represented by such Global Note; or
  • (b) in the case of Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form, the Calculation Amount;

and, in each case, multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction. The resultant figure (including after application of any Fixed Coupon Amount or Broken Amount to the Calculation Amount in the case of Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form) shall be rounded to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention. Where the Specified Denomination of a Fixed Rate Note in definitive form is a multiple of the Calculation Amount, the amount of interest payable in respect of such Fixed Rate Note shall be the product of the amount (determined in the manner provided above) for the Calculation Amount and the amount by which the Calculation Amount is multiplied to reach the Specified Denomination, without any further rounding.

"Day Count Fraction" means, in respect of the calculation of an amount of interest in accordance with this Condition 4.1:

  • (a) if "Actual/Actual (ICMA)" is specified in the applicable Final Terms:
    • (i) in the case of Notes where the number of days in the relevant period from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the relevant payment date (the "Accrual Period") is equal to or shorter than the Determination Period during which the Accrual Period ends, the number of days in such Accrual Period divided by the product of (I) the number of days in such Determination Period and (II) the number of Determination Dates (as specified in the applicable Final Terms) that would occur in one calendar year; or
    • (ii) in the case of Notes where the Accrual Period is longer than the Determination Period during which the Accrual Period ends, the sum of:
      • (A) the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the Determination Period in which the Accrual Period begins divided by the product of (x) the number of days in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Dates that would occur in one calendar year; and
      • (B) the number of days in such Accrual Period falling in the next Determination Period divided by the product of (x) the number of days

in such Determination Period and (y) the number of Determination Dates that would occur in one calendar year; and

  • (b) if "30/360" is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the number of days in the period from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment Date (or, if none, the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the relevant payment date (such number of days being calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days with 12 30-day months) divided by 360.
  • (c) In the Conditions:

"Determination Period" means each period from (and including) a Determination Date to (but excluding) the next Determination Date (including, where either the Interest Commencement Date or the final Interest Payment Date is not a Determination Date, the period commencing on the first Determination Date prior to, and ending on the first Determination Date falling after, such date); and

"sub-unit" means, with respect to any currency other than euro, the lowest amount of such currency that is available as legal tender in the country of such currency and, with respect to euro, one cent.

4.2 Interest on Floating Rate Notes

(a) Interest Payment Dates

Each Floating Rate Note bears interest from (and including) the Interest Commencement Date and such interest will be payable in arrear on either:

  • (i) the Specified Interest Payment Date(s) in each year specified in the applicable Final Terms; or
  • (ii) if no Specified Interest Payment Date(s) is/are specified in the applicable Final Terms, each date (each such date, together with each Specified Interest Payment Date, an "Interest Payment Date") which falls the number of months or other period specified as the Specified Period in the applicable Final Terms after the preceding Interest Payment Date or, in the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date.

Such interest will be payable in respect of each Interest Period. In the Conditions, "Interest Period" means the period from (and including) an Interest Payment Date (or the Interest Commencement Date) to (but excluding) the next (or first) Interest Payment Date or the relevant payment date if the Notes become payable on a date other than an Interest Payment Date.

If a Business Day Convention is specified in the applicable Final Terms and (x) if there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month in which an Interest Payment Date should occur or (y) if any Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day, then, if the Business Day Convention specified is:

  • (A) in any case where Specified Periods are specified in accordance with Condition 4.2(a)(ii) above, the Floating Rate Convention, such Interest Payment Date (a) in the case of (x) above, shall be the last day that is a Business Day in the relevant month and the provisions of (ii) below shall apply mutatis mutandis or (b) in the case of (y) above, shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which event (i) such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day and (ii) each subsequent Interest Payment Date shall be the last Business Day in the month which falls the Specified Period after the preceding applicable Interest Payment Date occurred; or
  • (B) the Following Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day; or
  • (C) the Modified Following Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be postponed to the next day which is a Business Day unless it would thereby fall into the next calendar month, in which event such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day; or
  • (D) the Preceding Business Day Convention, such Interest Payment Date shall be brought forward to the immediately preceding Business Day.

In the Conditions, "Business Day" means a day which is both:

  • (a) a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London and each Additional Business Centre specified in the applicable Final Terms; and
  • (b) either (i) in relation to any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (which if the Specified Currency is Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars shall be Sydney and Auckland, respectively) or (ii) in relation to any sum payable in euro, a day on which the trans-European automated real-time gross settlement express transfer system or any successor or replacement for that system ("T2") is open.

(b) Rate of Interest

The Rate of Interest payable for each interest Period in respect of Floating Rate Notes will, subject to Condition 4.2(h) and subject as provided below, be either:

  • (A) the offered quotation; or
  • (B) the arithmetic mean (rounded if necessary to the fifth decimal place, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the offered quotations,

(expressed as a percentage rate per annum) for the Reference Rate which appears or appear, as the case may be, on the Relevant Screen Page (or such replacement page on that service which displays the information) as at 11.00 a.m. (Brussels time) on the Interest Determination Date in question plus or minus (as indicated in the applicable Final Terms) the Margin (if any), all as determined by the Agent. If five or more of such offered quotations are available on the Relevant Screen Page, the highest (or, if there is more than one such highest quotation, one only of such quotations) and the lowest (or, if there is more than one such lowest quotation, one only of such quotations) shall be disregarded by the Agent for the purpose of determining the arithmetic mean (rounded as provided above) of such offered quotations.

The Agency Agreement contains provisions for determining the Rate of Interest in the event that the Relevant Screen Page is not available or if, in the case of (A) above, no such offered quotation appears or, in the case of (B) above, fewer than three such offered quotations appear, in each case as at the time specified in the preceding paragraph.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Final Terms, the Minimum Rate of Interest shall be deemed to be zero.

(c) Minimum Rate of Interest and/or Maximum Rate of Interest

If the applicable Final Terms specifies a Minimum Rate of Interest for any Interest Period, then, in the event that the Rate of Interest in respect of such Interest Period determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) above is less than such Minimum Rate of Interest, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be such Minimum Rate of Interest.

If the applicable Final Terms specifies a Maximum Rate of Interest for any Interest Period, then, in the event that the Rate of Interest in respect of such Interest Period determined in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) above is greater than such Maximum Rate of Interest, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be such Maximum Rate of Interest.

(d) Determination of Rate of Interest and calculation of Interest Amounts

The Agent will at or as soon as practicable after each time at which the Rate of Interest is to be determined, determine the Rate of Interest for the relevant Interest Period.

The Agent will calculate the amount of interest (the "Interest Amount") payable on the Floating Rate Notes for the relevant Interest Period by applying the Rate of Interest to:

  • (A) in the case of Floating Rate Notes which are represented by a Global Note, the aggregate outstanding nominal amount of the Notes represented by such Global Note; or
  • (B) in the case of Floating Rate Notes in definitive form, the Calculation Amount;

and, in each case, multiplying such sum by the applicable Day Count Fraction, and rounding the resultant figure to the nearest sub-unit of the relevant Specified Currency, half of any such sub-unit being rounded upwards or otherwise in accordance with applicable market convention. Where the Specified Denomination of a Floating Rate Note in definitive form is a multiple of the Calculation Amount, the Interest Amount payable in respect of such Note shall be the product of the amount (determined in the manner provided above) for the Calculation Amount and the amount by which the Calculation Amount is multiplied to reach the Specified Denomination, without any further rounding.

"Day Count Fraction" means, in respect of the calculation of an amount of interest in accordance with this Condition 4.2:

  • (i) if "Actual/Actual (ISDA)" or "Actual/Actual" is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365 (or, if any portion of that Interest Period falls in a leap year, the sum of (I) the actual number of days in that portion of the Interest Period falling in a leap year divided by 366 and (II) the actual number of days in that portion of the Interest Period falling in a non-leap year divided by 365);
  • (ii) if "Actual/365 (Fixed)" is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365;
  • (iii) if "Actual/365 (Sterling)" is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 365 or, in the case of an Interest Payment Date falling in a leap year, 366;
  • (iv) if "Actual/360" is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the actual number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360;
  • (v) if "30/360", "360/360" or "Bond Basis" is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows:

Day Count Fraction =

$$\frac{\left[360 \times (Y_2 - Y_1)\right] + \left[30 \times (M_2 - M_1)\right] + \left(D_2 - D_1\right)}{360}$$

where:

"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;

"Y2" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;

"M1" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;

"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;

"D1" is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the Interest Period, unless such number is 31, in which case D1 will be 30; and

"D2" is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the Interest Period, unless such number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 will be 30;

(vi) if "30E/360" or "Eurobond Basis" is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows:

Day Count Fraction =

$$\frac{\left[360 \times (Y_2 - Y_1)\right] + \left[30 \times (M_2 - M_1)\right] + \left(D_2 - D_1\right)}{360}$$

where:

"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;

"Y2" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;

"M1" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;

"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;

"D1" is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the Interest Period, unless such number would be 31, in which case D1 will be 30; and

"D2" is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the Interest Period, unless such number would be 31, in which case D2 will be 30;

(vii) if "30E/360 (ISDA)" is specified in the applicable Final Terms, the number of days in the Interest Period divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows:

Day Count Fraction =

$$\frac{[360 \times (Y_2 - Y_1)] + [30 \times (M_2 - M_1)] + (D_2 - D_1)}{360}$$

where:

"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;

"Y2" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;

"M1" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the Interest Period falls;

"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day of the Interest Period falls;

"D1" is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the Interest Period, unless (i) that day is the last day of February or (ii) such number would be 31, in which case D1 will be 30; and

"D2" is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the Interest Period, unless (i) that day is the last day of February but not the Maturity Date or (ii) such number would be 31, in which case D2 will be 30.

(e) Linear Interpolation

Where Linear Interpolation is specified as applicable in respect of an Interest Period in the applicable Final Terms, the Rate of Interest for such Interest Period shall be calculated by the Agent by straight line linear interpolation by reference to two rates based on the relevant Reference Rate, one of which shall be determined as if the Designated Maturity were the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the length of the relevant Interest Period and the other of which shall be determined as if the Designated Maturity were the period of time for which rates are available next longer than the length of the relevant Interest Period provided however that if there is no rate available for a period of time next shorter or, as the case may be, next longer, then the Agent shall determine such rate at such time and by reference to such sources as the Issuer (in consultation with a Calculation Agent) determines appropriate.

"Designated Maturity" means the period of time designated in the Reference Rate.

(f) Notification of Rate of Interest and Interest Amounts

The Agent will cause the Rate of Interest and each Interest Amount for each Interest Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date to be notified to the Issuer, the Trustee and any stock exchange (or any listing agent in respect of such stock exchange, as the case may be) on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes are for the time being listed and notice thereof to be published in accordance with Condition 13 as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than the fifth London Business Day thereafter. Each Interest Amount and Interest Payment Date so notified may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment) without prior notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Period. Any such amendment will promptly be notified to each stock exchange on which the relevant Floating Rate Notes are for the time being listed and to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13. For the purposes of this paragraph, the expression "London Business Day" means a day (other than a Saturday or a Sunday) on which banks and foreign exchange markets are open for general business in London.

(g) Certificates to be final

All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Condition 4.2 by the Agent shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Agent, the other Paying Agents and all Noteholders and Couponholders and (in the absence of wilful default or bad faith) no liability to the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Noteholders or the Couponholders shall attach to the Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions.

(h) Benchmark Discontinuation

(i) Independent Adviser

If a Benchmark Event occurs in relation to an Original Reference Rate at any time when these Conditions provide for any remaining Rate of Interest (or any component part thereof) to be determined by reference to such Original Reference Rate, then the Issuer and the Guarantors shall use their reasonable endeavours to appoint an Independent Adviser, as soon as reasonably practicable, to determine a Successor Rate, failing which an Alternative Rate (in accordance with Condition 4.2(h)(ii)) and, in either case, an Adjustment Spread (in accordance with Condition 4.2(h)(iii)) and any Benchmark Amendments (in accordance with Condition 4.2(h)(iv)) by no later than five Business Days prior to the Interest Determination Date relating to the next Interest Period for which the Rate of Interest (or any component thereof) is to be determined by reference to the relevant Original Reference Rate (the "Determination Cut-off Date").

An Independent Adviser appointed pursuant to this Condition 4.2(h) shall act in good faith and (in the absence of bad faith or fraud) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Paying Agents, any other party specified in the applicable Final Terms as being responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest, the Noteholders or the Couponholders for any determination made by it pursuant to this Condition 4.2(h).

(ii) Successor Rate or Alternative Rate

If the Independent Adviser, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determines that:

  • (A) there is a Successor Rate, then such Successor Rate (as adjusted by the applicable Adjustment Spread as provided in Condition 4.2(h)(iii)) shall subsequently be used in place of the Original Reference Rate to determine the relevant Rate(s) of Interest (or the relevant component part(s) thereof) for the relevant Interest Period and all following Interest Periods (subject to the further operation of this Condition 4.2(h)); or
  • (B) there is no Successor Rate but that there is an Alternative Rate, then such Alternative Rate (as adjusted by the applicable Adjustment Spread as provided in Condition 4.2(h)(iii)) shall subsequently be used in place of the Original Reference Rate to determine the relevant Rate(s) of Interest (or the relevant component part(s) thereof) for the relevant Interest Period and all following Interest Periods (subject to the further operation of this Condition 4.2(h)).

(iii) Adjustment Spread

If a Successor Rate or Alternative Rate is determined in accordance with Condition 4.2(h)(ii), the Independent Adviser, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, shall determine an Adjustment Spread (which may be expressed as a specified quantum or a formula or methodology for determining the applicable Adjustment Spread (and, for the avoidance of doubt, an Adjustment Spread may be positive, negative or zero)), which Adjustment Spread shall be applied to the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be) for each subsequent determination of a relevant Rate of Interest (or a relevant component part thereof) by reference to such Successor Rate or Alternative Rate (as applicable).

(iv) Benchmark Amendments

If any Successor Rate or Alternative Rate and (in either case) the applicable Adjustment Spread is determined in accordance with this Condition 4.2(h) and the Independent Adviser, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determines (A) that amendments to these Conditions and/or the Trust Deed (including, without limitation, amendments to the definitions of Day Count Fraction, Business Day or Relevant Screen Page) are necessary to ensure the proper operation of such Successor Rate or Alternative Rate and/or (in either case) Adjustment Spread (such amendments, the "Benchmark Amendments") and (B) the terms of the Benchmark Amendments, then the Issuer and the Guarantors shall, following consultation with the Agent (or any other party specified in the applicable Final Terms as being responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest), subject to giving notice thereof in accordance with Condition 4.2(h)(v), without any requirement for the consent or approval of Noteholders or Couponholders, vary these Conditions and/or the Trust Deed (as applicable) to give effect to such Benchmark Amendments with effect from the date specified in such notice.

At the request of the Issuer and the Guarantors, but subject to receipt by the Trustee and the Agent of a certificate signed by an Authorised Officer of easyJet plc pursuant to Condition 4.2(h)(v), the Trustee and the Agent shall (at the expense of the Issuer, failing whom the Guarantors), without any requirement for the consent or approval of Noteholders or Couponholders, be obliged to concur with the Issuer and the Guarantors in effecting any Benchmark Amendments (including, inter alia, by the execution of a supplemental agency agreement and a deed supplemental to or amending the Trust Deed, as applicable) and neither the Trustee nor the Agent shall be liable to any party for any consequences thereof, provided that neither the Trustee nor the Agent shall be obliged so to concur if in the sole opinion of the Trustee or, as the case may be, the Agent, doing so would impose more onerous obligations upon it or expose it to any additional duties, responsibilities or liabilities or reduce rights and/or the protective provisions afforded to the Trustee or the Agent in these Conditions, the Agency Agreement or the Trust Deed, as applicable, (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any supplemental agency agreement or supplemental trust deed) in any way.

(v) Notices, etc.

On or before the Determination Cut-off Date, the Issuer, failing whom the Guarantors, will notify the Trustee, the Agent, any other party specified in the applicable Final Terms as being responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest, the other Paying Agents and, in accordance with Condition 13, the Noteholders, of any Successor Rate, Alternative Rate, Adjustment Spread and the specific terms of any Benchmark Amendments determined under this Condition 4.2(h). Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the effective date of the Benchmark Amendments, if any.

No later than notifying the Trustee of the same, easyJet plc shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by an Authorised Officer:

  • (A) confirming (i) that a Benchmark Event has occurred, (ii) the Successor Rate or, as the case may be, the Alternative Rate, (iii) the applicable Adjustment Spread and (iv) the specific terms of any Benchmark Amendments, in each case as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Condition 4.2(h); and
  • (B) certifying that the Benchmark Amendments (if any) are necessary to ensure the proper operation of such Successor Rate or Alternative Rate and/or (in either case) the applicable Adjustment Spread.

The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such certificate (without inquiry and without liability to any person) as sufficient evidence thereof. The Successor Rate or Alternative Rate and (in either case) the applicable Adjustment Spread and the Benchmark Amendments (if any) specified in such certificate will (in the absence of manifest error or bad faith in the determination of the Successor Rate or Alternative Rate and the applicable Adjustment Spread and the Benchmark Amendments (if any) and without prejudice to the Trustee's ability to rely on such certificate as aforesaid) be binding on the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee, the Agent, any other party specified in the applicable Final Terms as being responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest, the other Paying Agents and the Noteholders and Couponholders as of their effective date.

(vi) Survival of Original Reference Rate

Without prejudice to the obligations of the relevant Independent Adviser, the Issuer or the Guarantors under the provisions of this Condition 4.2(h), the Original Reference Rate and the fallback provisions provided for in Condition 4.2(b)(ii) will continue to apply unless and until a Benchmark Event has occurred.

(vii) Fallbacks

If, following the occurrence of a Benchmark Event and in relation to the determination of the Rate of Interest on the relevant Interest Determination Date, the Issuer and the Guarantors are unable to appoint an Independent Adviser, or the Independent Adviser appointed fails to determine a Successor Rate or Alternative Rate (as applicable) or (in either case) applicable Adjustment Spread is determined and notified to the Trustee, the Agent or any other party specified in the applicable Final Terms as being responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest (as applicable), in each case pursuant to this Condition 4.2(h), prior to the Determination Cut-off Date, the Original Reference Rate will continue to apply for the purposes of determining such Rate of Interest on such Interest Determination Date, with the effect that the fallback provisions provided for in Condition 4.2(b)(ii) will (if applicable) continue to apply to such determination.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Condition 4.2(h)(vii) shall apply to the determination of the Rate of Interest on the relevant Interest Determination Date only, and the Rate of Interest applicable to any subsequent Interest Period(s) is subject to the subsequent operation of, and to adjustment as provided in, this Condition 4.2(h).

(viii) Definitions

As used in this Condition 4.2(h):

"Adjustment Spread" means either (a) a spread (which may be positive, negative or zero), or (b) a formula or methodology for calculating a spread, in either case which the Independent Adviser determines is required to be applied to the relevant Successor Rate or Alternative Rate (as applicable) and is the spread, formula or methodology which:

  • (A) in the case of a Successor Rate, is formally recommended or formally provided as an option for parties to adopt, in relation to the replacement of the Original Reference Rate with the Successor Rate by any Relevant Nominating Body; or
  • (B) in the case of an Alternative Rate or (where (A) above does not apply) in the case of a Successor Rate, the Independent Adviser determines is recognised or acknowledged as being in customary market usage in international debt capital markets transactions which reference the Original Reference Rate, where such rate has been replaced by the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be); or
  • (C) if the Independent Adviser determines that neither sub-paragraph (A) or (B) above applies, the Independent Adviser acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, determines to be appropriate to reduce or eliminate, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances, any economic prejudice or benefit (as the case may be) to Noteholders as

a result of the replacement of the Original Reference Rate with the Successor Rate or the Alternative Rate (as the case may be);

"Alternative Rate" means an alternative to the Original Reference Rate which the Independent Adviser determines in accordance with Condition 4.2(h)(ii) has replaced the Original Reference Rate in customary market usage in the international debt capital markets for the purposes of determining floating rates of interest (or the relevant component part thereof) for debt securities with a commensurate interest period and in the same Specified Currency as the Notes, or if the Independent Adviser determines that there is no such rate, such other rate as the Independent Adviser determines in its sole discretion is most comparable to the Original Reference Rate;

"Benchmark Amendments" has the meaning given to it in Condition 4.2(iv);

"Benchmark Event" means, with respect to an Original Reference Rate:

  • (A) the Original Reference Rate ceasing to be published for at least five Business Days or ceasing to exist or be administered; or

  • (C) the later of (i) the making of a public statement by the administrator of the Original Reference Rate that it will, on or before a specified date, cease publishing the Original Reference Rate permanently or indefinitely (in circumstances where no successor administrator has been appointed that will continue publication of the Original Reference Rate) and (ii) the date falling six months prior to the specified date referred to in (C)(i); or
  • (D) the making of a public statement by the supervisor of the administrator of the Original Reference Rate that the Original Reference Rate has been permanently or indefinitely discontinued; or
  • (E) the later of (i) the making of a public statement by the supervisor of the administrator of the Original Reference Rate that the Original Reference Rate will, on or before a specified date, be permanently or indefinitely discontinued and (ii) the date falling six months prior to the specified date referred to in (E)(i); or
  • (F) the later of (i) the making of a public statement by the supervisor of the administrator of the Original Reference Rate that means the Original Reference Rate will be prohibited from being used or that its use will be subject to restrictions or adverse consequences, in each case on or before a specified date and (ii) the date falling six months prior to the specified date referred to in (F)(i); or
  • (G) it has or will prior to the next Interest Determination Date become unlawful for the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Agent, any other party specified in the applicable Final Terms as being responsible for calculating the Rate of Interest or any Paying Agent to calculate any payments due to be made to any Noteholder or Couponholder using the Original Reference Rate; or
  • (H) the making of a public statement by the supervisor of the administrator of such Original Reference Rate announcing that such Original Reference Rate is no longer representative or may no longer be used; or

(I) the later of (i) the making of a public statement by the supervisor of the administrator of such Original Reference Rate announcing that such Original Reference Rate will, on or before a specified date, no longer be representative or will no longer be used and (ii) the date falling six months prior to the specified date referred to in (I)(i);

"Independent Adviser" means an independent financial institution of international repute or an independent financial adviser with appropriate expertise in the international debt capital markets appointed by the Issuer and the Guarantors, at their own expense, under Condition 4.2(h)(i);

"Original Reference Rate" means the originally-specified Reference Rate used to determine the relevant Rate of Interest (or any component part thereof) in respect of any Interest Period(s) (provided that if, following one or more Benchmark Events, such originally specified Reference Rate (or any Successor Rate or Alternative Rate which has replaced it) has been replaced by a (or a further) Successor Rate or Alternative Rate and a Benchmark Event subsequently occurs in respect of such Successor Rate or Alternative Rate, the term "Original Reference Rate" shall include any such Successor Rate or Alternative Rate);

"Relevant Nominating Body" means, in respect of an Original Reference Rate:

  • (A) the central bank for the currency to which the Original Reference Rate relates, or any central bank or other supervisory authority which is responsible for supervising the administrator of the Original Reference Rate; or
  • (B) any working group or committee sponsored by, chaired or co-chaired by or constituted at the request of (i) the central bank for the currency to which the Original Reference Rate relates, (ii) any central bank or other supervisory authority which is responsible for supervising the administrator of the Original Reference Rate, (iii) a group of the aforementioned central banks or other supervisory authorities or (iv) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof; and

"Successor Rate" means a successor to or replacement of the Original Reference Rate which is formally recommended by any Relevant Nominating Body.

4.3 Accrual of interest

Each Note (or in the case of the redemption of part only of a Note, that part only of such Note) will cease to bear interest (if any) from the date for its redemption unless payment of principal is improperly withheld or refused. In such event, interest will continue to accrue until whichever is the earlier of:

  • (a) the date on which all amounts due in respect of such Note have been paid; and
  • (b) as provided in the Trust Deed.

5. PAYMENTS

5.1 Method of payment

5.2 Presentation of definitive Notes and Coupons

Payments of principal in respect of definitive Notes will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner provided in Condition 5.1 above only against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of definitive Notes, and payments of interest in respect of definitive Notes will (subject as provided below) be made as aforesaid only against presentation and surrender (or, in the case of part payment of any sum due, endorsement) of Coupons, in each case at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the United States (which expression, as used herein, means the United States of America (including the States and the District of Columbia and its possessions)).

Fixed Rate Notes in definitive form (other than Long Maturity Notes (as defined below)) should be presented for payment together with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto (which expression shall for this purpose include Coupons falling to be issued on exchange of matured Talons), failing which the amount of any missing unmatured Coupon (or, in the case of payment not being made in full, the same proportion of the amount of such missing unmatured Coupon as the sum so paid bears to the sum due) will be deducted from the sum due for payment. Each amount of principal so deducted will be paid in the manner mentioned above against surrender of the relative missing Coupon at any time before the expiry of 10 years after the Relevant Date (as defined in Condition 7) in respect of such principal (whether or not such Coupon would otherwise have become void under Condition 8) or, if later, five years from the date on which such Coupon would otherwise have become due, but in no event thereafter.

Upon any Fixed Rate Note in definitive form becoming due and repayable prior to its Maturity Date, all unmatured Talons (if any) appertaining thereto will become void and no further Coupons will be issued in respect thereof.

Upon the date on which any Floating Rate Note or Long Maturity Note in definitive form becomes due and repayable, unmatured Coupons and Talons (if any) relating thereto (whether or not attached) shall become void and no payment or, as the case may be, exchange for further Coupons shall be made in respect thereof. A "Long Maturity Note" is a Fixed Rate Note (other than a Fixed Rate Note which on issue had a Talon attached) whose nominal amount on issue is less than the aggregate interest payable thereon provided that such Note shall cease to be a Long Maturity Note on the Interest Payment Date on which the aggregate amount of interest remaining to be paid after that date is less than the nominal amount of such Note.

If the due date for redemption of any definitive Note is not an Interest Payment Date, interest (if any) accrued in respect of such Note from (and including) the preceding Interest Payment Date or, as the case may be, the Interest Commencement Date shall be payable only against surrender of the relevant definitive Note.

5.3 Payments in respect of Global Notes

Payments of principal and interest (if any) in respect of Notes represented by any Global Note will (subject as provided below) be made in the manner specified above in relation to definitive Notes or otherwise in the manner specified in the relevant Global Note, where applicable against presentation or surrender, as the case may be, of such Global Note at the specified office of any Paying Agent outside the United States.

5.4 General provisions applicable to payments

The holder of a Global Note shall be the only person entitled to receive payments in respect of Notes represented by such Global Note and the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantors will be discharged by payment to, or to the order of, the holder of such Global Note in respect of each amount so paid. Each of the persons shown in the records of Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as the beneficial holder of a particular nominal amount of Notes represented by such Global Note must look solely to Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, for their share of each payment so made by the Issuer or, as the case may be, the Guarantors to, or to the order of, the holder of such Global Note.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Condition, if any amount of principal and/or interest in respect of Notes is payable in U.S. dollars, such U.S. dollar payments of principal and/or interest in respect of such Notes will be made at the specified office of a Paying Agent in the United States if:

  • (a) the Issuer has appointed Paying Agents with specified offices outside the United States with the reasonable expectation that such Paying Agents would be able to make payment in U.S. dollars at such specified offices outside the United States of the full amount of principal and interest on the Notes in the manner provided above when due;
  • (b) payment of the full amount of such principal and interest at all such specified offices outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions on the full payment or receipt of principal and interest in U.S. dollars; and
  • (c) such payment is then permitted under United States law without involving, in the opinion of the Issuer and the Guarantors, adverse tax consequences to the Issuer or the Guarantors.

5.5 Payment Day

If the date for payment of any amount in respect of any Note or Coupon is not a Payment Day, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to payment until the next following Payment Day in the relevant place and shall not be entitled to further interest or other payment in respect of such delay. For these purposes, "Payment Day" means any day which (subject to Condition 8) is:

  • (a) a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in:

  • (b) either (A) in relation to any sum payable in a Specified Currency other than euro, a day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments and are open for general business (including dealing in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in the principal financial centre of the country of the relevant Specified Currency (which if the Specified Currency is Australian dollars or New Zealand dollars shall be Sydney and Auckland, respectively) or (B) in relation to any sum payable in euro, a day on which the T2 is open.

  • (c) to which is transferred an undertaking or assets which, taken together with the undertaking or assets of the transferee Subsidiary, generated (or, in the case of the transferee Subsidiary being acquired after the end of the financial period to which the then latest audited consolidated accounts of easyJet plc and its Subsidiaries relate, generate total revenues equal to) not less than 10 per cent. of the consolidated total revenues, or represent (or, in the case aforesaid, are equal to) not less than 10 per cent. of the consolidated net assets, of easyJet plc and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, all as calculated as referred to in subparagraph (a) above, provided that the transferor Subsidiary (if a Material Subsidiary) shall upon such transfer forthwith cease to be a Material Subsidiary unless immediately following such transfer its undertaking and assets generate (or, in the case aforesaid, generate total revenues equal to) not less than 10 per cent. of the consolidated total revenues, or its assets represent (or, in the case aforesaid, are equal to) not less than 10 per cent. of the consolidated net assets, of easyJet plc and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, all as calculated as referred to in subparagraph (a) above, and the transferee Subsidiary shall cease to be a Material Subsidiary pursuant to this subparagraph (c) on the date on which the consolidated accounts of easyJet plc and its Subsidiaries for the financial period current at the date of such transfer have been prepared and audited but so that such transferor Subsidiary or such transferee Subsidiary may be a Material Subsidiary on or at any time after the date on which such consolidated accounts have been prepared and audited as aforesaid by virtue of the provisions of subparagraph (a) above or, prior to or after such date, by virtue of any other applicable provision of this definition,

all as more particularly defined in the Trust Deed.

A report by an Authorised Officer of easyJet plc that in its opinion a Subsidiary of easyJet plc is or is not or was or was not at any particular time or throughout any specified period a Material Subsidiary may be relied upon by the Trustee without further enquiry or evidence and, if relied upon by the Trustee, shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties.

10. REPLACEMENT OF NOTES, COUPONS AND TALONS

Should any Note, Coupon or Talon be lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it may be replaced at the specified office of the Agent upon payment by the claimant of such costs and expenses as may be incurred in connection therewith and on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Issuer may reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Notes, Coupons or Talons must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

11. PAYING AGENTS

The names of the initial Paying Agents and their initial specified offices are set out below. If any additional Paying Agents are appointed in connection with any Series, the names of such Paying Agents will be specified in Part B of the applicable Final Terms.

The Issuer is entitled, with the prior written approval of the Trustee, to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent and/or appoint additional or other Paying Agents and/or approve any change in the specified office through which any Paying Agent acts, provided that:

  • (a) there will at all times be an Agent;
  • (b) so long as the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or admitted to listing by any other relevant authority, there will at all times be a Paying Agent with a specified office in such place as may be required by the rules and regulations of the relevant stock exchange or other relevant authority; and
  • (c) there will at all times be a Paying Agent in a jurisdiction within Europe, other than the jurisdiction(s) in which the Issuer and/or any Guarantor is incorporated.

In addition, the Issuer shall forthwith appoint a Paying Agent having a specified office in New York City in the circumstances described in Condition 5.4. Notice of any variation, termination, appointment or change in Paying Agents will be given to the Noteholders promptly by the Issuer in accordance with Condition 13.

In acting under the Agency Agreement, the Paying Agents act solely as agents of the Issuer and the Guarantors and, in certain circumstances specified therein, of the Trustee and do not assume any obligation to, or relationship of agency or trust with, any Noteholders or Couponholders. The Agency Agreement contains provisions permitting any entity into which any Paying Agent is merged or converted or with which it is consolidated or to which it transfers all or substantially all of its assets to become the successor paying agent.

12. EXCHANGE OF TALONS

On and after the Interest Payment Date on which the final Coupon comprised in any Coupon sheet matures, the Talon (if any) forming part of such Coupon sheet may be surrendered at the specified office of the Agent or any other Paying Agent in exchange for a further Coupon sheet including (if such further Coupon sheet does not include Coupons to (and including) the final date for the payment of interest due in respect of the Note to which it appertains) a further Talon, subject to the provisions of Condition 8.

13. NOTICES

All notices regarding the Notes will be deemed to be validly given if published in a leading English language daily newspaper of general circulation in London. It is expected that any such publication in a newspaper will be made in the Financial Times in London. The Issuer shall also ensure that notices are duly published in a manner which complies with the rules of any stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the Notes are for the time being listed or by which they have been admitted to trading. Any such notice will be deemed to have been given on the date of the first publication or, where required to be published in more than one newspaper, on the date of the first publication in all required newspapers. If publication as provided above is not practicable, a notice will be given in such other manner, and will be deemed to have been given on such date, as the Trustee shall approve in writing.

Until such time as any definitive Notes are issued, there may, so long as any Global Notes representing the Notes are held in their entirety on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, be substituted for such publication in such newspaper(s) the delivery of the relevant notice to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg for communication by them to the holders of the Notes and, in addition, for so long as any Notes are listed on a stock exchange or are admitted to trading by another relevant authority and the rules of that stock exchange or relevant authority so require, such notice will be published in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the place or places required by those rules. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given to the holders of the Notes on the second day after the day on which the said notice was given to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg.

Notices to be given by any Noteholder shall be in writing and given by lodging the same, together (in the case of any Note in definitive form) with the relative Note or Notes, with the Agent. Whilst any of the Notes are represented by a Global Note, such notice may be given by any holder of a Note to the Agent through Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, in such manner as the Agent and Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be, may approve for this purpose.

14. SUBSTITUTION

    • (a) an Authorised Officer of easyJet plc has certified in writing to the Trustee that (I) the relevant Guarantor is no longer a party to, or an obligor under, the U.S.\$400,000,000 Secured Revolving Credit Facility Agreement dated 9 September 2021 or any replacement or substitute loan(s) or financing agreement(s) (the "Facilities Agreement") and (II) easyJet plc (or a Subsidiary of easyJet plc which is guaranteed by easyJet plc) is the principal obligor under the Facilities Agreement or the primary working capital and standby bank facilities for easyJet plc and its Subsidiaries;
  • (b) each of the Rating Agencies (as defined in Condition 6.5) then rating the Notes has confirmed in writing to the Trustee that it has determined that it would not downgrade or withdraw the credit rating assigned by it to the Notes as a result of such substitution; and

Upon any such substitution of a Guarantor (or another Guarantor, in the case of Notes issued by easyJet B.V.) by easyJet plc, all provisions relating to such Guarantor and the relevant Guarantee (including, without limitation, paragraphs (i) and (j) of Condition 9.1) in these Conditions and the Trust Deed shall (without prejudice to any provisions relating to any other Guarantor and the other Guarantees) cease to have effect and these Conditions and the Trust Deed shall be construed accordingly. A certification by an Authorised Officer of easyJet plc under paragraph (x) above may be relied upon by the Trustee without further enquiry or evidence and the Trustee shall suffer no liability whatsoever for so relying on, and acting in accordance with, such certification.

The Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of the Noteholders (including meetings by telephone or video conference) to consider any matter affecting their interests, including the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution of a modification of the Notes, the Coupons or any of the provisions of the Trust Deed. Such a meeting may be convened by the Issuer, any of the Guarantors or the Trustee and shall be convened by the Issuer if required in writing by Noteholders holding not less than 10 per cent. in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being remaining outstanding. The quorum at any such meeting for passing an Extraordinary Resolution is one or more persons holding or representing not less than 50 per cent. in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned meeting one or more persons being or representing Noteholders whatever the nominal amount of the Notes so held or represented, except that at any meeting the business of which includes the modification of certain provisions of the Notes or the Coupons or the Trust Deed (including modifying the date of maturity of the Notes or any date for payment of interest thereon, reducing or cancelling the amount of principal or the rate of interest payable in respect of the Notes or altering the currency of payment of the Notes or the Coupons), the quorum shall be one or more persons holding or representing not less than two-thirds in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding, or at any adjourned such meeting one or more persons holding or representing not less than one-third in nominal amount of the Notes for the time being outstanding.

An Extraordinary Resolution passed by the Noteholders will be binding on all the Noteholders, whether or not they are present at any meeting and whether or not they voted on the resolution, and on all Couponholders.

The Trustee may agree, without the consent of the Noteholders or Couponholders, to any modification of, or to the waiver or authorisation of any breach or proposed breach of, any of the provisions of the Notes or the Trust Deed, or determine, without any such consent as aforesaid, that any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default (as defined in the Trust Deed) shall not be treated as such, where, in any such case, it is not, in the opinion of the Trustee, materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders so to do or may agree, without any such consent as aforesaid, to any modification which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or to correct a manifest error. Any such modification shall be binding on the Noteholders and the Couponholders and any such modification shall be notified to the Noteholders in accordance with Condition 13 as soon as practicable thereafter. In addition, the Trustee shall be obliged to concur with the Issuer and the Guarantors in effecting any Benchmark Amendments in the circumstances and as otherwise set out in Condition 4.2(h) without the consent or approval of the Noteholders or Couponholders.

In connection with the exercise by it of any of its trusts, powers, authorities and discretions (including, without limitation, any modification, waiver, authorisation or determination), the Trustee shall have regard to the general interests of the Noteholders as a class (but shall not have regard to any interests arising from circumstances particular to individual Noteholders or Couponholders whatever their number) and, in particular but without limitation, shall not have regard to the consequences of any such exercise for individual Noteholders or Couponholders (whatever their number) resulting from their being for any purpose domiciled or resident in, or otherwise connected with, or subject to the jurisdiction of, any particular territory or any political sub-division thereof and the Trustee shall not be entitled to require, nor shall any Noteholder or Couponholder be entitled to claim, from the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any other person any indemnification or payment in respect of any tax consequences of any such exercise upon individual Noteholders or Couponholders except to the extent already provided for in Condition 7 and/or any undertaking or covenant given in addition to, or in substitution for, Condition 7 pursuant to the Trust Deed.

For more information on applicable nationality requirements, see "Regulatory Environment" below.

STRATEGY

easyJet's strategy involves building on its competitive advantages of what it believes comprise a strong network, strong market positions, an efficient low-cost model, customer loyalty and a robust balance sheet.

The focuses of its strategy include the following four strategic initiatives, as described further below:

    1. Building Europe's best network;
    1. Transforming revenue;
    1. Delivering ease and reliability; and
    1. Driving easyJet's low-cost model.

1. Building Europe's best network

easyJet's strategy is to drive travel by focusing on primary airports which serve valuable catchment areas. easyJet's model is to operate out of primary airports and its route frequencies deliver choice and flexibility for its customers while increasing returns for easyJet.

easyJet has a portfolio of slots at customer-friendly times in capacity constrained airports, which easyJet believes reinforces its competitive advantage against airlines which cannot match its breadth of destinations and frequencies.

easyJet regularly reviews its route network and constantly strives to balance its network by allocating aircraft to areas of the network which drive the highest returns depending on the time of day or year.

easyJet believes that by focusing on its country leadership in Western Europe and adding new bases to provide further network breadth and flexibility, easyJet will achieve cost benefits to manage seasonality and support the growth of easyJet holidays with limited risk.

For more information on easyJet's network, see "Network" below.

2. Transforming revenue

easyJet aims to continue to develop in its ancillary revenue area to ensure that it maximises the revenue potential of the market. easyJet will invest in its revenue management capability, develop new industryleading ways of leveraging data and optimise ticket and ancillary revenue (including further revenue generation from the use of pricing algorithms to apply dynamic pricing to both tickets and ancillary products).

easyJet also intends to transform its ability to develop ancillary revenue products for its customers based on their specific needs. Furthermore, easyJet will continue to invest in diversifying its sources of revenue with an ongoing focus on easyJet holidays.

3. Delivering ease and reliability

easyJet aims to deliver a seamless and digitally enabled customer journey at every stage and is continuously working to enhance the customer experience. easyJet focuses on the following areas to deliver ease in the customer experience:

Communications: providing helpful and timely information flows and creating cohesion across the end-to-end experience;

  • Airport journey: improving the airport experience by optimising core processes including boarding and bag drop and the application of technology enhancements such as biometric automation to reduce queuing;
  • Inflight offering: creating a more personalised service enabled through the use of connected technology and enhancing the current crew's engagement; and
  • Disruption management: focusing on improvements to streamline policies, simplify processes and automate solutions, alongside more efficient communications via connected devices.

easyJet also aims to deliver reliable performance through the following measures:

  • Process oversight: a focus on base driven reporting, with station level ownership and control;
  • Prior to departure: optimising planning activities such as crew rostering and standby allocation; and
  • On the day turn execution: key to delivery, with elements including supply chain, event communications management, hand luggage policies and inventory optimisation.

4. Driving easyJet's low-cost model

Disciplined execution of the low-cost model underpins all of the elements of the easyJet strategy, as follows:

  • a highly efficient point-to-point network to deliver simplicity in operations and scale within airports;
  • providing disaggregated products and relevant bundles of products, allowing customers to pay for what they value; and
  • ensuring that easyJet has a fleet with exceptional fuel efficiency and low maintenance costs.

BUSINESS

Overview

easyJet's business comprises the provision of low-cost point-to-point short-haul airline services primarily in Europe. easyJet's business model and strategy provides a foundation for easyJet to grow and generate returns.

The total number of passengers carried by easyJet increased by 8.3 per cent. to 89.7 million for the year ended 30 September 2024 (compared to 82.8 million for the year ended 30 September 2023) driven by an increase in seats flown of 8.4 per cent to 100.4 million for the year ended 30 September 2024 (compared to 92.6 million for the year ended 30 September 2023).

For the year ended 30 September 2024, easyJet had total revenue of £9,309 million (for the year ended 30 September 2023: £8,171 million), an increase of 13.9 per cent. for the year ended 30 September 2024, and total headline profit before tax of £610 million for the year ended 30 September 2024 (for the year ended 30 September 2023: £455 million).

Airline load factor was 89.3 per cent. in the year ended 30 September 2024 (compared to 89.3 per cent. in the year ended 30 September 2023).

EACL

EACL is the principal operating subsidiary of easyJet plc. EACL used to hold easyJet's UK operating licence, but this was transferred to easyJet UK in 2018 as part of easyJet's Brexit planning. EACL now leases aircraft to easyJet UK, easyJet Europe and easyJet Switzerland to enable them to operate. EACL has a services agreement with each of easyJet UK, easyJet Europe and easyJet Switzerland, pursuant to which it provides various services. easyJet plc and its subsidiaries, including EACL are managed on a unified basis.

For the year ended 30 September 2024, EACL had total revenue of £9,442 million (an increase of 11.0 per cent. from the year ended 30 September 2023) and a profit before tax of £182 million (an improvement of £28 million from the year ended 30 September 2023). For the year ended 30 September 2023, EACL had total revenue of £8,508 million and profit before tax of £154 million. As at 30 September 2024, EACL had property, plant and equipment on its balance sheet totalling £5,415 million (as at 30 September 2023: £4,824 million), comprised of owned assets of £4,274 million (as at 30 September 2023: £3,912 million) and Right of Use assets held under leasing agreements under IFRS 16 of £1,141 million (as at 30 September 2023: £912 million).

External environment

easyJet continues to primarily operate in the European short-haul aviation market. easyJet's focus is primarily in western and northern Europe, where it believes its potential customer base has a high propensity to spend.

The European short-haul aviation market can be primarily divided into legacy carriers and low-cost carriers. Legacy carriers (often referred to as 'flag' carriers) operate both short and long-haul networks. Whilst prior to the COVID-19 pandemic the overall short-haul market had grown over the previous ten years, the lowcost carriers have taken significant market share from legacy carriers as the legacy carriers have not grown their capacity across their short-haul networks. At the same time legacy carriers have been transferring capacity from their flag carriers to low-cost subsidiaries.

Network

As at 30 September 2024, easyJet operated on 1,099 routes serving 160 airports.

easyJet aims to build Europe's best network. To achieve this aim, it has created positions in key airports across Europe which it believes cannot easily be replicated by any competitor. This network is enabled by the extensive slot portfolio which is focussed on primary airports and key destinations such as the Greek Islands. easyJet has established a strong presence in valuable catchment areas that represent a number of Europe's top markets by GDP, focusing on both leisure and business travel. easyJet regularly reviews and optimises its route network in order to maximise returns and exploit demand opportunities in the market.

Fuel

easyJet has jet fuel supply contracts in place at its network bases and other locations. easyJet's total fuel and associated carbon cost for the year ended 30 September 2024 was £2,223 million compared to £2,033 million for the year ended 30 September 2023.

International prices for jet fuel are denominated in US dollars, and therefore easyJet's fuel costs are subject to both price fluctuations and exchange rate risk. easyJet manages this risk through its hedging policies and practices.

Liquidity

On 16 June 2023, easyJet entered into a U.S.\$1.75 billion five-year sustainability-linked term loan facility, underwritten by a syndicate of banks and supported by a partial guarantee from UK Export Finance ("UKEF") under the UKEF Export Development Guarantee (the "2023 UKEF Facility"). Embedded within the 2023 UKEF Facility is a sustainability key performance indicator linked to a reduction in carbon emission intensity in line with easyJet's net zero roadmap (see "Sustainability" below), with a margin adjustment mechanism (upward or downward) conditional on the achievement of specific milestones. Other than the sustainability linkage, the 2023 UKEF Facility is on similar terms to a prior term loan facility (repaid and terminated in June 2023), underwritten by a syndicate of banks and supported by a partial guarantee from UKEF under the UKEF Export Development Guarantee. As at the date of this Offering Circular, the 2023 UKEF Facility is undrawn and has been undrawn since its inception.

The table below sets out easyJet's liquidity position at certain reporting dates:

_______________ (1) easyJet's minimum liquidity requirement is unearned revenue plus £500 million.

easyJet will continue to review its liquidity position on a regular basis and will continue to assess further funding opportunities should the need arise.

See "Note 27. Financial Risk and Capital Risk Management – Liquidity risk management" to the audited consolidated annual financial statements of easyJet plc as at and for the financial year ended 30 September 2024 for further liquidity information as at 30 September 2024.

See "Recent Developments" below for further liquidity information since 30 September 2024.

Balance Sheet

easyJet's funding position remains robust with net cash at 30 September 2024 of £181 million (as at 30 September 2023: net cash of £41 million), which comprised unrestricted cash of £3,461 million (as at 30 September 2023: £2,925 million), borrowings of £2,106 million (as at 30 September 2023: £1,895 million), and lease liabilities of £1,174 million (as at 30 September 2023: £989 million).

See "Recent Developments" below for further balance sheet information since 30 September 2023.

Hedging arrangements

easyJet has hedging arrangements in respect of fuel, currency and interest rates, which it believes allows it to remain highly competitive across the European airline industry. The aim of easyJet's hedging policy is to reduce short-term cash flow volatility. As at 30 September 2024, easyJet was approximately 80 per cent. hedged for jet fuel for the first half of the 2025 Financial Year at an average rate of approximately U.S.\$808 per metric tonne and approximately 59 per cent. hedged for jet fuel for the second half of the 2025 Financial Year at an average rate of approximately U.S.\$771 per metric tonne.

See "Recent Developments" below for further information on hedging arrangements since 30 September 2024.

Sales and distribution

easyJet sells products via its own website www.easyjet.com and its 'easyJet Worldwide' platform, its mobile application, call centres, global distribution systems ("GDSs") and application programme interfaces ("APIs"). GDSs and APIs are platforms that allow third parties direct access to easyJet's bookings systems and are predominantly used for business customers.

easyJet has a bespoke proprietary revenue management system ("RMS") which is demand-based and is therefore designed to drive and optimise revenue from each flight. The continuous dynamic price-setting of the RMS is designed to optimise revenue, as well as allowing for revenue management of allocated seating and bags. It also assigns sales profile curves to each individual flight and assists with conversion of website traffic into bookings for easyJet. easyJet has a model to forecast how each route is going to perform. The model estimates potential passengers and revenue based on both easyJet's internal data around search volumes and web traffic, but also booking volumes.

easyJet seeks to drive innovation through its digital strategy, for example taking predictive data analysis into easyJet's schedule design to manage disruption, testing and analysing the booking process, and rolling out iPads to easyJet's crew to improve on time performance, reduce disruption, improve customer service and reduce paper. The development of its digital strategy enables easyJet to review extensive current and historic data with respect to its customers' travel and purchase habits and experiences in order to provide personalised and tailored communications to its customers.

easyJet's innovative customer loyalty scheme, 'Flight Club', continues to offer high-frequency, loyal passengers a range of benefits such as free name changes on tickets, free booking changes and price guarantees, rather than the traditional earnings based programme used by most other carriers. Alongside Flight Club, easyJet Plus, easyJet's paid membership programme, allows customers to access additional privileges for an annual fee.

easyJet holidays was re-launched on 28 November 2019 supported by a new website and mobile app offering a streamlined search and booking process. easyJet holidays is no longer solely operated on a commission model. easyJet holidays earns revenue on the total value of the package holidays, with hotel, flight and transfer costs reported as operating costs. easyJet holidays also continues to sell hotels through its partner Booking.com and earns a commission on these sales.

Additionally, easyJet has ancillary revenues from a range of other related products, such as the ability to choose allocated seating for an additional fee, new initiatives in easyJet's baggage strategy, and inflight and other revenues such as the sale of inflight food and beverages. For the year ended 30 September 2024, easyJet's Airline ancillary revenue performance was £2,457 million, an increase of 13.0 per cent. compared to the year ended 30 September 2023 (£2,174 million), due to increases in both passenger numbers and yields. Furthermore, for the year ended 30 September 2024, Airline ancillary revenue per seat increased by 4 per cent. to £24.45 compared to £23.47 for the year ended 30 September 2023.

Brand licence

easyJet places great importance on its brand. easyJet licenses the easyJet brand from easyGroup, a wholly owned subsidiary of easyGroup Holdings Limited, an entity in which easyJet's founder, Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou, holds a beneficial interest. The Haji-Ioannou family concert party shareholding (being easyGroup Holdings Limited and Polys Holding Limited) holds, in total, 15.27 per cent. of the issued share capital of easyJet plc as disclosed to easyJet in accordance with the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rule 5 as at 28 September 2021.

Under the amended brand licence signed in October 2010 (the "Amended Brand Licence") an annual royalty of 0.25 per cent. of total annual statutory consolidated revenue (net of revenue taxes) is payable by easyJet plc to easyGroup. The full term of the licence agreement is 50 years. easyJet is able to terminate with one years' notice (or sooner if there is a material breach by easyGroup). easyGroup may only terminate the licence agreement in limited circumstances, including in the event of a material breach by easyJet or if easyJet enters into insolvency.

The licence agreement provides easyJet with worldwide rights to use the brand on a basis which protects easyJet's current commercial activities. Under the terms of the licence, easyJet is granted rights to use the brand for business activities, including commercial air travel and ancillary services, such as car hire, hotel arrangements and package holidays sold through easyJet holidays, as well as other activities.

Under the terms of the Amended Brand Licence, easyJet must contribute up to £1 million per annum to meet the costs to protect the 'easy' and 'easyJet' brands and easyGroup agreed to contribute £100 thousand per annum. Beyond the first £1.1 million of costs cumulatively contributed by both parties, easyJet can commit up to £5 million annually to meet brand protection costs, with easyGroup continuing to meet its share of costs on a 10:1 ratio. easyJet must meet 100.0 per cent. of any brand protection costs it wishes to incur above this limit.

SUSTAINABILITY

easyJet aims to become net zero by 2050, reducing its greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 78 per cent. (against a 2019 baseline).

In September 2022, easyJet announced a net zero roadmap that aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative ("SBTi") and secured validation from SBTi for its interim target of 35 per cent. greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction by 2035 (against a 2019 baseline). easyJet's carbon reduction target is based on carbon emissions per revenue tonne kilometre. Since 2000, over a 20-year period, easyJet has reduced its carbon emissions per revenue tonne kilometre by over one third.

easyJet's sustainability approach revolves around airspace modernisation, sustainable aviation fuel ("SAF"), new aircraft technology such as hydrogen and operating more modern fuel-efficient aircraft.

In 2024, easyJet became the first airline partner of Viasat's IRIS programme, a satellite-based air traffic management system that will help deliver improvements to the way easyJet manages airspace, with the aim of eliminating 6.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide ("CO2") from European skies by 2040. Furthermore, easyJet has joined Project SkyPower – a CEO-led initiative aiming to make SAF a commercial reality by 2030.

In September 2024, easyJet released new analysis to show where the greatest airspace inefficiencies are across the easyJet network. easyJet's aim is to provide this data to policymakers, regulators and air traffic controllers across Europe in order to help reduce European aviation's fuel consumption and therefore CO2 emissions.

easyJet has a partnership with Rolls-Royce for the development of hydrogen combustion engine technology. easyJet has been collaborating with Airbus since 2019 to develop a hydrogen-powered commercial airliner for entry into service in 2035. easyJet is also a founding member of the Hydrogen in Aviation ("HIA") alliance which brings together leading companies in the UK to help deliver zero carbon aviation. easyJet, together with the HIA alliance members (including Airbus, Rolls-Royce, GKN Aerospace, Bristol Airport and Ørsted), hosted the launch of the HIA at a parliamentary reception in the House of Commons in September 2023 to promote the use of hydrogen in aviation which was attended by the Secretary of State for Transport, crossbench Members of Parliament, academics and hydrogen experts.

FLEET

Fleet

easyJet believes it has built flexibility into its fleet planning arrangements such that it can increase or decrease capacity deployed in its network, in response to the opportunities available and prevailing economic conditions.

easyJet's fleet is owned or financed by a combination of unsecured debt and leases. As at 30 September 2024, the net book value of property, plant and equipment (excluding right of use assets held under leasing arrangements) was £4,285 million (compared to the 2023 Financial Year, £3,936 million as at 30 September 2023). As at 30 September 2024, the average age of easyJet's fleet was 10.2 years compared to 9.9 years as at 30 September 2023.

The composition of easyJet's fleet as at 30 September 2024 is in the following table:

Aircraft acquisitions

On 12 October 2023, easyJet announced the proposed purchase of 157 A320neo family aircraft from Airbus S.A.S. ("Airbus") for delivery between the financial year expected to end on 30 September 2029 and the financial year expected to end on 30 September 2034, alongside purchase rights for a further 100 A320neo family aircraft (the "Purchase"). Alongside this (and in addition to aircraft already ordered under the 2013 purchase agreement with Airbus (the "2013 Agreement")), easyJet announced the conversion of 35 A320neo aircraft to A321neo aircraft planned for delivery between the 2026 Financial Year and the financial year expected to end on 30 September 2028 under an existing Airbus order. easyJet has also entered into an agreement with CFM International S.A. to supply engines, spare engines and maintenance services with respect to the Purchase.

The terms of the Purchase have been documented in an amendment agreement between EACL and Airbus to the 2013 Agreement which was approved by easyJet's shareholders in 2013. On 19 December 2023, easyJet announced that its shareholders had approved the Purchase.

Airbus has granted substantial price concessions to EACL with regard to the Airbus aircraft. The price concessions take the form of credit memoranda which EACL may apply towards the purchase of goods and services from Airbus or towards payments in respect of the purchase of the Airbus aircraft depending on the specific price concession. Airbus has also agreed to give EACL certain allowances as well as providing other goods and services to EACL on concessionary terms. As a result, the effective price of each Airbus aircraft will be substantially below the list price.

The table below sets out easyJet's fleet flexibility as at 20 November 2024 in respect of the 2025 Financial Year, 2026 Financial Year, 2027 Financial Year and 2028 Financial Year:

Aircraft financing

easyJet's operating leases include leases in respect of aircraft which bear interest at both fixed and floating rates. As at 30 September 2024, easyJet had borrowings of £2,106 million (30 September 2023: £1,895 million), and £1,174 million of lease liabilities (30 September 2023: £989 million). As at 30 September 2024, £416 million of its borrowings were due within one year and in addition it had current lease liabilities of £227 million.

Sale and leaseback

easyJet regularly executes sale and leaseback transactions for aircraft to manage residual value risk and maintain flexibility. During the 2024 Financial Year, easyJet completed sale and leasebacks of 11 aircraft to further bolster easyJet's liquidity position by total cash proceeds of £114 million. easyJet's lease liability increased by a total of £185 million as at 30 September 2024, compared with as at 30 September 2023.

Following these transactions, 54.0 per cent. of easyJet's total fleet was owned by easyJet and unencumbered as at 30 September 2024 (compared to 54.0 per cent. as at 30 September 2023).

See "Recent Developments" below for further information on sale and leaseback transactions since 30 September 2024.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Q1 performance of easyJet plc

  • Capacity – in the three months ended 31 December 2024 ("Q1 2025"), seats earned10 increased to 21,236 thousand from 19,842 thousand in the three months ended 31 December 2023 ("Q1 2024"). This increase was in line with an increase in capacity from 23.0 million seats in Q1 2024 to 24.1 million seats in Q1 2025 with a marginally decreased load factor of 88 per cent. in Q1 2025, compared to 86 per cent. in Q1 2024.
  • Revenue – in Q1 2025, total Group revenue increased to £2,037 million from £1,800 million in Q1 2024. This increase was primarily due to: (i) an increase in passenger revenue from £1,133 million in Q1 2024 to £1,255 million in Q1 2025; and (ii) an increase in Airline ancillary and holidays revenue from £667 million in Q1 2024 to £782 million in Q1 2025. This was primarily as a result of capacity flown and includes an increase in holidays revenue to £247 million in Q1 2025 from £181 million in Q1 2024.
  • Costs in Q1 2025, Group headline costs including fuel increased to £1,889 million from £1,726 million in Q1 2024, this increase was primarily as a result of increased capacity flown.
  • Loss – in Q1 2025, total headline loss before tax was £61 million, a £65 million improvement from the £126 million headline loss before tax in Q1 2024.
  • Liquidity as at 31 December 2024, easyJet's net debt, including cash and cash equivalents and other investments of approximately £2.8 billion, was approximately £484 million, compared to net cash of £181 million as at 30 September 2024.

Hedging arrangements

As at 31 December 2024, easyJet's expected jet fuel requirement was approximately 82 per cent. hedged for the first half of the 2025 Financial Year at U.S.\$807 per metric tonne and 64 per cent. hedged for the second half of the 2025 Financial Year at U.S.\$770 per metric tonne.

REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT

The regulatory environment has a significant impact on easyJet, in particular the legislative framework set out by the EU, Austria, Switzerland and the UK.

International Regulation

The International Civil Aviation Organisation is an agency of the United Nations and was established by the 1944 Chicago Convention on International Civil Aviation (the "Convention"). The Convention established the process of coordinating and regulating international air services through bilateral air services

10 Earned seats include seats which are flown whether or not the passenger turns up, as easyJet is a no refund airline and once a flight has departed, a no-show customer is generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats also include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for business travel.

agreements ("ASAs") between sovereign states. ASAs are international bilateral treaties between states, with government-negotiated terms and conditions covering all aspects of commercial scheduled air services between the two countries. An exception to this is the single aviation market arrangement which applies within the EU and the multilateral agreements between the EU and third countries.

EU Regulation

easyJet is and will continue to be affected by a wide range of EU laws and regulations. These include safety, security, aircraft operations, airline ownership, airport slot allocations, ground handling, competition, airport charges, consumer protection, insurance, environmental protection, air traffic control and general data protection.

Since April 1997, EU air carriers have been able to provide passenger services on routes between and within EU member states (and outside their home country of operations) without restrictions on capacity, frequencies and fares. The European Free Trade Association states and a number of other neighbouring countries are also parties to a multilateral agreement known as the European Common Aviation Area.

EU Regulation 1008/2008 (the "Air Services Regulation") sets nationality requirements for the holding of operating licences issued by EU Member States. An operating licence is an authorisation permitting the holder to transport passengers, mail or cargo by air. The Air Services Regulation requires that (i) an air carrier must be owned and continue to be owned directly or through majority ownership by EEA states and/or nationals of EEA states (for the purposes of the Air Services Regulation, this also includes ownership by Switzerland and/or Swiss nationals) and (ii) the air carrier must at all times be effectively controlled by such EEA member states or EEA nationals.

In order to ensure compliance with the Air Services Regulation and as a result of Brexit, easyJet announced in July 2017 that it had established a new airline operating entity, easyJet Europe, headquartered in Vienna, Austria to allow easyJet to continue to operate flights both across Europe and domestically within European countries after 31 December 2020. In addition to the incorporation of easyJet Europe, easyJet amended its articles of association to contain provisions to allow it to take action if necessary to ensure it continues to satisfy the EU ownership and control requirements. These provisions permit easyJet plc to regulate the level of ownership by non-qualifying nationals by suspending rights to attend and vote at meetings of shareholders and/or forcing the sale of shares owned by non-qualifying nationals to qualifying nationals.

On 23 December 2020, easyJet announced that the Board of Directors of easyJet plc (the "Board") had passed resolutions as part of its contingency plan to ensure continued compliance with EU ownership and control requirements following the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020. Accordingly, and in line with its contingency plan, easyJet announced on 4 January 2021 that it had commenced steps to suspend voting rights in respect of certain shares held by relevant persons, in accordance with easyJet plc's articles of association, so that a majority of the voting rights in easyJet plc are held by EU persons. As at 16 January 2025, the level of share ownership by EU persons was 36.95 per cent. Accordingly, in order to comply with European ownership and control requirements, easyJet has suspended voting rights in respect of certain shares held by UK and other non-EU nationals in accordance with easyJet's articles of association so that a majority of the voting rights in easyJet are held by EU persons.

Austrian Regulation

easyJet Europe has an operating licence and an Air Operator's Certificate ("AOC") in Austria which are subject to routine audit and review.

Austro Control GmbH ("Austro Control") is responsible for overseeing and regulating air carriers in Austria and issues AOCs under the requirements of EU and Austrian law. The Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology is responsible for issuing operating licences in accordance with EU and Austrian law. An operating licence is an authorisation permitting the holder to transport passengers, mail or cargo by air. The criteria for granting an operating licence includes, inter alia, EU nationality, an air carrier's financial fitness, the adequacy of its insurance and the fitness of the persons who will manage the air carrier.

UK Regulation

easyJet UK currently has an operating licence and an AOC in the UK which are subject to routine audit and review.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (the "CAA") is currently primarily responsible for overseeing and regulating air carriers in the UK. The CAA is responsible for licensing UK airlines through the issue of operating licences, subject to the requirements of UK law. An operating licence is an authorisation permitting the holder to transport passengers, mail or cargo by air. The criteria for granting an operating licence includes, inter alia, an air carrier's financial fitness, the adequacy of its insurance and the fitness of the persons who will manage the air carrier.

The CAA currently issues operating licences in the UK under the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008, as amended by the Operation of Air Services (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020. The Civil Aviation Act 1982 provides further requirements that a carrier must hold (and comply with the terms of) a relevant 'route licence' to operate aircraft on flights involving (1) UK registered aircraft or (2) the carriage of passengers or cargo to or from a point outside the UK for non-UK registered aircraft. Such licences are granted by the CAA and can only be granted where the applicant holds a valid operating licence. easyJet holds the required 'route licences' for any relevant routes.

The Air Passenger Duty Regulations 1994 and its more recent amendments also impose a duty levied on the carriage of passengers from a UK airport (subject to limited exceptions). The duty is payable by operating carriers (both those based in the UK and foreign carriers) with the amount payable being calculated by reference to the passenger's final destination and the class of travel.

Swiss Regulation

easyJet Switzerland has an operating licence and an AOC in Switzerland which are subject to routine audit and review.

The Federal Office of Civil Aviation ("FOCA") is a part of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications in Switzerland. The FOCA is responsible for the regulation and oversight of civil aviation in Switzerland and is responsible for licensing Swiss airlines through the issue of operating licences. An operating licence is required for commercial flight operators in Switzerland.

There are two main applicable sources of legislation for civil aviation companies operating in Switzerland, Swiss laws and ordinances (including the Swiss Federal Civil Aviation Act and the Swiss Federal Civil Aviation Ordinance) and regulations and directives based on EU legislation. Based on the agreement between the EU and the Swiss Confederation on Air Transport which entered into force on 1 June 2002, Switzerland has adopted the relevant civil aviation regulations of the EU, which are more fully described above. Similar to the framework in the UK, Swiss legislation requires air carriers with an EU or European Free Trade Association operating licence to also hold and comply with a route licence issued by the FOCA.

FOCA grants operating licences in Switzerland under the provisions of the Air Services Regulation (which applies to Switzerland by virtue of the Agreement between the European Community and the Swiss Confederation on Air Transport which entered into force on 1 June 2002).

Other National Regulation

Generally, easyJet is affected by a wide range of laws and regulations in each of the jurisdictions it operates in. These include safety, security, ground handling, airport charges, consumer protection, data protection, passenger taxes, package travel, environmental protection and air traffic control.

LITIGATION

easyJet is involved in a number of disputes and litigation cases which arose in the normal course of business. The potential outcome of these disputes and litigations can cover a range of scenarios, and in complex cases reliable estimates of any potential obligation may not be possible.

On 17 August 2023, the Information Commissioner's Office closed its investigation against easyJet in respect of the cyber-attack announced on 19 May 2020 whereby the email address and booking details of approximately 9 million customers and credit card details of 2,208 customers were accessed. However, the associated class action filed in May 2020 in the UK High Court by a law firm representing a class of customers affected by the data breach arising from the cyberattack remains in place. Similarly, other claims have been commenced or are threatened in certain other courts and jurisdictions. The merit, likely outcome and potential impact on easyJet of the class action claims are subject to a number of significant uncertainties and therefore easyJet is unable to assess the likely outcome or quantum of these claims at the date of this Offering Circular.

In November 2024, the Spanish Ministerio de Consumo (Ministry of Consumer Affairs) issued easyJet with a €29 million fine for its hand luggage policy and the charges applied to cabin bags. easyJet is appealing this and believes its policy is entirely lawful.

Additionally, there is an ongoing litigation matter in Italy, and a possibility of a claim being made by a third-party supplier, for what would be material recoveries. Management has assessed the likelihood of each case being brought, easyJet's response and likelihood of a successful defence, and at this stage, having taken external legal advice, does not consider it appropriate to provide for either matter.

SAFETY

easyJet's highest priority is the safety and security of its customers and its people. Comprehensive processes and governance structures are maintained to monitor and manage safety-related risk throughout the airline.

The safety management structure is led from the top of the organisation at easyJet-level. The Chief Operating Officer of EACL alongside the AOC Accountable Managers of easyJet Switzerland, easyJet Europe and easyJet UK are responsible for all aspects of safety delivery, including compliance obligations, under easyJet UK's AOC, the easyJet Switzerland AOC and the easyJet Europe AOC, respectively. The Chief Executive Officer of easyJet plc chairs the easyJet safety board (at executive management team level) which is responsible for directing overall corporate safety policy and governance and which meets quarterly to assess reports from the Safety Review Boards and Safety Action Groups across the airline (which are responsible for the identification, evaluation and control of safety and compliance related risks). This review and assessment process delivers reports to the UK CAA, FOCA, Austro Control Group and the Board.

To further strengthen the safety structure and allow more in-depth review of safety matters, the Board established the Safety Committee (a committee of the Board) in January 2013. The primary function of the Safety Committee (renamed as Safety & Operational Readiness Committee) is to assess easyJet's oversight of safety and compliance systems, processes, operations and resources, which is carried out by reviewing, monitoring and providing oversight of the implementation of easyJet's annual safety plan and safety and compliance management system. The Committee also examines specific safety issues as requested by the Board and continues to ensure that safety receives the highest level of Board attention.

easyJet has established a safety, security and compliance management system and a fatigue risk management system (approved for use by the aviation regulators) which incorporate rigorous reporting processes. Through these systems easyJet is continually working to drive safety performance improvements and reduce risks to its people, passengers and contractors.

As part of easyJet's ongoing commitment to safety improvement, easyJet continues to develop appropriate safety standards throughout its supply chain. This includes the promotion of improved communication and engagement on safety issues, and, above all, sharing and learning from best practice.

easyJet's security team works to reduce vulnerability to security-related risks. The security team co-operates closely with government and regulatory agencies throughout its network, to ensure strict compliance with security regulations. Security risk assessments are conducted for each airport and country to which easyJet flies. High standards of vigilance are maintained regarding the current geopolitical situation within those countries to inform these assessments. easyJet implements measures to protect it from corporate and aviation security risks, including internal governance of business-sensitive and personal data, vetting people and asset protection.

ENVIRONMENT

Environmental impact of the business

The nature of airline operations means that easyJet is a significant emitter of greenhouse gases, in particular carbon dioxide. The EU emissions trading system scheme ("EU ETS") imposes regulatory obligations on easyJet regarding the environmental impact of its business in each of the jurisdictions where EU ETS applies. Similar regulatory obligations arise under emission trading schemes in Switzerland and the UK. easyJet will continue to comply with these emission trading schemes and any new regulations, such as Fit for 55, introduced in jurisdictions in which easyJet operates (see "Risk Factors - Environment and Sustainability – Climate change").

easyJet continues to support innovative technology, including the development of hydrogen planes, airspace modernisation and SAF, working with others across the industry to reinvent aviation over the long-term so that European aviation can become net-zero carbon (see "Sustainability" above).

easyJet's focus on operational efficiency also continues to deliver fuel and carbon emissions savings. easyJet is transitioning its fleet to increasingly modern, fuel-efficient aircraft, operating the aircraft in ways which avoid the unnecessary use of fuel, and maximising passenger load factors as much as possible.

easyJet started to operate the Airbus A320 neo in 2017 and the Airbus A321 neo in 2018. These aircraft are at least 13.0 per cent. more fuel efficient and 50.0 per cent. quieter during take-off and landing than previous generation aircraft. The Airbus A321 neo also helps maximise use of airport capacity as it is larger than the A320s.

On 12 October 2023, easyJet announced the proposed purchase of 157 A320neo family aircraft from Airbus for delivery between the financial year expected to end on 30 September 2029 and the financial year expected to end on 30 September 2034, alongside purchase rights for a further 100 A320neo family aircraft. Alongside this, easyJet announced the conversion of 35 A320neo aircraft to A321neo aircraft planned for delivery between the 2026 Financial Year and the financial year expected to end on 30 September 2028 under an existing Airbus order (See also "Fleet – Aircraft acquisition" above). On 19 December 2023, easyJet announced that its shareholders had approved the Purchase.

Greenhouse gas emissions

For the 2024 Financial Year, easyJet commissioned Verifavia to verify its carbon footprint in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol ("GHG Protocol"). The GHG Protocol categorises emissions into three scopes:

  • Scope 1 direct emissions from owned and leased assets (typically combustion of fossil fuels);
  • Scope 2 indirect emissions from imported energy (typically grid electricity) used in owned assets where easyJet has direct operational control; and
  • Scope 3 all other indirect emissions resulting from upstream and downstream business activity (for example supply chain, business travel, aircraft components, etc.).

The table below sets out easyJet's greenhouse gas emissions for the 2024 Financial Year against the 2023 Financial Year (measurement and reporting of which aligns with the GHG Protocol):

2024 Financial Year
global emissions
2023 Financial Year
global emissions
Scope 1 (tonnes of CO2e) 8,114,121 7,517,983
Scope 2 (tonnes of CO2e) 284 300
Total scopes 1 and 2 8,114,405 7,518,283
Scope 3 (tonnes of CO2e) 2,564,787 2,303,152
Total carbon footprint (scopes 1, 2 and 3) 10,679,192 9,821,435
Total energy use (kWh) – scopes 1 and 2 31,133,467,239 28,866,383,003

easyJet's calculation of emissions is based on fuel burn measurement, which is verified to comply with the EU ETS requirements.

In the year ended 30 September 2024 easyJet's carbon dioxide emissions per passenger kilometre was 66.64 grams, a decrease from 67.23 grams per passenger kilometre in the year ended 30 September 2023, primarily driven by fleet renewal and operational efficiencies.

Emissions Trading

Under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, certain contracting states entered into obligations to control and reduce the emission of greenhouse gases.

To comply with its obligations under public international law, the EU introduced the EU ETS in 2003 to limit greenhouse gas emissions and the trading allowances which apply to certain industrial installations. The airline industry was incorporated into the EU ETS in 2009 and the first carbon credit surrender took place in 2012. In October 2016 the International Civil Aviation Organisation agreed a Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation ("CORSIA") to target carbon neutral growth and has a long-term aspirational goal ("LTAG") of net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050.

CORSIA will rely on carbon offsets (including renewable energy and nature-based carbon credits certified to CORSIA-approved standards) to compensate for emission growth in the airline sector. easyJet was among the first supporters of the aviation industry's entry into the EU ETS, which it views as an important step to ensuring that the aviation industry is helping to tackle climate change. easyJet also engaged with the European Commission on the launch of its Fit for 55 legislative package (see "Risk Factors - Environment and Sustainability – Climate change"). easyJet continues to support efforts to ensure that all aviation is brought into a scheme to tackle emissions globally and will continue to comply with all applicable regulations.

INSURANCE

easyJet has insurance coverage which it believes is consistent with industry standard. Broadly, easyJet's insurance coverage includes:

  • hull (all risks) and liabilities insurance (including spares);
  • property and major supplier insurance;
  • employer's liability;
  • directors and officers insurance;
  • public and product liability insurance;
  • aviation insurance;
  • tour operators liability insurance;
  • trade credit insurance;
  • passenger insolvency protection;
  • fleet motor insurance; and
  • public offering of securities insurance.

Council Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002, governs air carrier liability. This legislation provides for unlimited liability of an air carrier in the event of death or bodily injuries suffered by passengers, implementing the Warsaw Convention of 1929 for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to Transportation by Air, as amended by the Montreal Convention of 1999. easyJet's liability insurance has been designed to meet the appropriate requirements of the legislation.

STAFF AND LABOUR RELATIONS

For the year ended 30 September 2024, the average monthly number of people employed by easyJet was 17,639 employees compared to 15,937 employees for the year ended 30 September 2023.

easyJet has a strong reputation as an attractive employer having received a Glassdoor employee satisfaction rating of 4.2 (out of 5.0) in September 2024.

easyJet believes it continues to attract the best customer-facing employees and that its high calibre employees are a key source of differentiation compared to its competitors and contribute significantly to the satisfaction of its customers. easyJet has several initiatives in place to continue to improve diversity and drive efficiency.

easyJet and its suppliers have a significant number of employees who are members of trade unions and industrial action taken by easyJet employees, or by the employees of key third party service providers, could impact on easyJet's ability to maintain its flight schedules. As easyJet operates across Europe, there are multiple unions of which crew are members. Each of these countries have localised employment terms and conditions which mitigates the risk of large-scale internal industrial action occurring at the same time. easyJet has processes in place to adapt to disruptions as a result of industrial action.

easyJet recognises the importance of actively engaging with the trade unions and other representative bodies across its operations to promote the success of the business. As at 30 September 2024, easyJet was engaged with 24 trade unions across 8 countries along with 7 works councils in Europe, its European Works Council and a number of other internal employee consultative groups, undertaking dialogue and negotiation, both informal and formal, on a regular basis. easyJet also actively supports employee representatives by allowing them paid time for relevant union or representative duties.

TAXATION

UK Taxation

The following applies only to persons who are the beneficial owners of Notes and is a summary of easyJet plc's, easyJet B.V.'s and EACL's understanding of current United Kingdom law and published HM Revenue and Customs practice relating only to United Kingdom withholding tax treatment of payments of interest (as that term is understood for United Kingdom tax purposes) in respect of Notes. It does not deal with any other United Kingdom taxation implications of acquiring, holding or disposing of Notes. The United Kingdom tax treatment of prospective Noteholders depends on their individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. Prospective Noteholders who may be subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than the United Kingdom or who may be unsure as to their tax position should seek their own professional advice.

Payment of Interest on the Notes

Payments by the Issuers

Payments of interest on the Notes may be made without deduction of or withholding on account of United Kingdom income tax provided that the Notes carry a right to interest and the Notes are and continue to be listed on a "recognised stock exchange" within the meaning of section 1005 of the Income Tax Act 2007. The London Stock Exchange is a recognised stock exchange. Securities will be treated as listed on the London Stock Exchange if they are included in the Official List (within the meaning of and in accordance with the provisions of Part 6 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000) and admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange. Provided, therefore, that the Notes carry a right to interest and are and remain so listed (including at the time of payment) on a "recognised stock exchange", interest on the Notes will be payable without withholding or deduction on account of United Kingdom tax.

Interest on the Notes may also be paid without withholding or deduction on account of United Kingdom tax where the maturity of the Notes is less than 365 days and those Notes do not form part of a scheme or arrangement of borrowing intended to be capable of remaining outstanding for more than 364 days.

In other cases, an amount must generally be withheld from payments of interest on the Notes that has a United Kingdom source on account of United Kingdom income tax at the basic rate (currently 20 per cent.), subject to any other available exemptions and reliefs. However, where an applicable double tax treaty provides for a lower rate of withholding tax (or for no tax to be withheld) in relation to a Noteholder, HMRC can issue a notice to the Relevant Issuer to pay interest to the Noteholder without deduction of tax (or for interest to be paid with tax deducted at the rate provided for in the relevant double tax treaty).

Payments by a Guarantor

The United Kingdom withholding tax treatment of payments by a Guarantor under the terms of a Guarantee which have a United Kingdom source is not certain. In particular, it is not certain that any such payments made by the Guarantor would be eligible for the exemptions and reliefs described above. Accordingly, if a Guarantor makes any payments under or in respect of interest on the Notes which are regarded as having a United Kingdom source (or other amounts due under or in respect of the Notes other than the repayment of amounts subscribed for such Notes), such payments may be subject to United Kingdom withholding tax at 20 per cent. subject to such relief as may be available under the provisions of any applicable double taxation treaty or any other exemption which may apply.

Dutch Taxation

The following summary of certain Dutch taxation matters is based on the laws and practice in force as of the date of this Offering Circular and is subject to any changes in law and the interpretation and application thereof, which changes could have retroactive effect. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to acquire, hold or dispose of Notes and does not purport to deal with the tax consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules.

For the purpose of the paragraph "Taxes on income and capital gains" below, the term "entity" means a corporation as well as any other person that is taxable as a corporation for Dutch corporate tax purposes.

For the purpose of the paragraph "Taxes on income and capital gains" below, it is assumed that a holder of Notes, being an individual or a non-resident entity, neither has nor will have a substantial interest (aanmerkelijk belang) or, in the case of the holder being an entity, a deemed substantial interest in the Issuers and that a connected person (verbonden persoon) to the holder neither has nor will have a substantial interest in the Issuers.

Generally speaking, an individual has a substantial interest in a company if (a) the individual, either alone or together with the individual's partner, directly or indirectly has or is deemed to have, or (b) certain relatives of the individual or the individual's partner directly or indirectly have or are deemed to have, (i) the ownership of, a right to acquire the ownership of, or certain rights over, shares representing 5 per cent. or more of either the total issued and outstanding capital of such company or the issued and outstanding capital of any class of shares of such company, or (ii) the ownership of, or certain rights over, profit participating certificates (winstbewijzen) that relate to 5 per cent. or more of either the annual profit or the liquidation proceeds of such company.

Generally speaking, a non-resident entity has a substantial interest in a company if such entity directly or indirectly has (i) the ownership of, a right to acquire the ownership of, or certain rights over, shares representing 5 per cent. or more of either the total issued and outstanding capital of such company or the issued and outstanding capital of any class of shares of such company, or (ii) the ownership of, or certain rights over, profit participating certificates (winstbewijzen) that relate to 5 per cent. or more of either the annual profit or the liquidation proceeds of such company. Generally, a non-resident entity has a deemed substantial interest in a company if such entity has disposed of or is deemed to have disposed of all or part of a substantial interest on a non-recognition basis.

Where this summary refers to a holder of Notes, an individual holding Notes or an entity holding Notes, such reference is restricted to an individual or entity holding legal title to as well as an economic interest in such Notes or otherwise being regarded as owning Notes for Dutch tax purposes. It is noted that for purposes of Dutch income, corporate, gift and inheritance tax, assets legally owned by a third party such as a trustee, foundation or similar entity, may be treated as assets owned by the (deemed) settlor, grantor or similar originator or the beneficiaries in proportion to their interest in such arrangement.

Where the summary refers to "The Netherlands" or "Dutch" it refers only to the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Where this summary refers to Notes, such reference includes Coupons and Talons.

Investors should consult their professional advisers as to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Notes.

Withholding Tax

All payments of principal and interest by the Issuers under the Notes can be made without withholding or deduction of any taxes of whatever nature imposed, levied, withheld or assessed by The Netherlands or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, save that Dutch withholding tax may apply on certain (deemed) payments of interest made to an affiliated (gelieerde) entity of the Issuers if such entity (i) is considered to be resident (gevestigd) in a jurisdiction that is listed in the annually updated Dutch Regulation on low-taxing states and non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes (Regeling laagbelastende staten en niet-coöperatieve rechtsgebieden voor belastingdoeleinden), or (ii) has a permanent establishment located in such jurisdiction to which the interest is attributable, or (iii) is entitled to the interest payable for the main purpose or one of the main purposes to avoid taxation for another person, or (iv) is not considered to be the recipient of the interest in its jurisdiction of residence because such jurisdiction treats another (lower-tier) entity as the recipient of the interest (a hybrid mismatch), or (v) is not treated as resident anywhere (also a hybrid mismatch), or (vi) is a reverse hybrid whereby the jurisdiction of residence of a participant that has a qualifying interest (kwalificerend belang) in the reverse hybrid treats the reverse hybrid as tax transparent and that participant would have been taxable based on one (or more) of the items in (i)-(v) above had the interest been due to the participant directly, all within the meaning of the Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet bronbelasting 2021).

Taxes on income and capital gains

Residents

Resident entities

An entity holding Notes which is or is deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for Dutch corporate tax purposes and which is not tax exempt, will generally be subject to Dutch corporate tax in respect of income or a capital gain derived from the Notes at the prevailing statutory rates (up to 25.8 per cent. in 2025).

Resident individuals

An individual holding Notes who is or is deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for Dutch income tax purposes will generally be subject to Dutch income tax in respect of income or a capital gain derived from the Notes at the prevailing statutory rates (up to 49.5 per cent. in 2025) if:

  • (a) the income or capital gain is attributable to an enterprise from which the holder derives profits (other than as a shareholder); or
  • (b) the income or capital gain qualifies as income from miscellaneous activities (belastbaar resultaat uit overige werkzaamheden) as defined in the Income Tax Act 2001 (Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001), including, without limitation, activities that exceed normal, active asset management (normaal, actief vermogensbeheer).

If neither condition (a) nor (b) applies, the individual will in principle be subject to Dutch income tax on the basis of a deemed return, regardless of any actual income or capital gain derived from the Notes. For 2025, separate deemed return percentages for savings, debts and investments apply, 5.88 per cent. for the category investments (including the Notes), as at the beginning of the relevant calendar year. The applicable percentages should be updated annually on the basis of historic market yields.

However, based on rulings of the Dutch Supreme Court (Hoge Raad) of 6 June 2024, the current system of taxation based on a deemed return is in conflict with European law if the deemed return applicable to the relevant investments exceeds the actual return in the respective calendar year. Awaiting new legislation, if the individual demonstrates that the actual return – calculated in accordance with the guidelines of the Dutch Supreme Court – is lower than the applicable deemed return, the taxable basis should be that lower amount.

The individual's taxable income from savings and investments (including the Notes) will be taxed at the prevailing statutory rate (36 per cent. in 2025).

Non-residents

A holder of Notes which is not and is not deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for the relevant tax purposes will not be subject to Dutch taxation on income or a capital gain derived from the Notes, unless:

  • (a) the income or capital gain is attributable to an enterprise or part thereof which is either effectively managed in The Netherlands or carried on through a permanent establishment (vaste inrichting) or a permanent representative (vaste vertegenwoordiger) taxable in The Netherlands and the holder derives profits from such enterprise (other than by way of the holding of securities); or
  • (b) the holder is an individual and the income or capital gain qualifies as income from miscellaneous activities (belastbaar resultaat uit overige werkzaamheden) in The Netherlands as defined in the Income Tax Act 2001 (Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001), including, without limitation, activities that exceed normal, active asset management (normaal, actief vermogensbeheer).

Gift and inheritance taxes

Dutch gift or inheritance tax will not be levied on the occasion of the transfer of Notes by way of gift by, or on the death of, a holder of Notes, unless:

(a) the holder is or is deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for the purpose of the relevant provisions; or

(b) the transfer is construed as an inheritance or gift made by, or on behalf of, a person who, at the time of the gift or death, is or is deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for the purpose of the relevant provisions.

Value added tax

There is no Dutch value added tax payable by a holder of Notes in respect of payments in consideration for the issue or acquisition of Notes, payments of principal and interest under the Notes, or payments in consideration for a disposal of Notes.

Other taxes and duties

There is no Dutch registration tax, stamp duty or any other similar tax or duty payable in The Netherlands by a holder of Notes in respect of or in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposal of Notes, the execution, delivery or enforcement by legal proceedings (including any foreign judgment in the courts of The Netherlands) of the Notes or the performance of the Issuers' obligations under the Notes.

Residence

A holder of Notes will not be and will not be deemed to be resident in The Netherlands for Dutch tax purposes and, subject to the exceptions set out above, will not otherwise become subject to Dutch taxation by reason only of acquiring, holding or disposing of Notes or the execution, performance, delivery and/or enforcement of the Notes.

FATCA DISCLOSURE

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Pursuant to certain provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, commonly known as FATCA, a foreign financial institution (as defined by FATCA) may be required to withhold on certain payments it makes ("foreign passthru payments") to persons that fail to meet certain certification, reporting or related requirements. The Issuers and the Guarantors may be foreign financial institutions for these purposes. A number of jurisdictions (including the United Kingdom and The Netherlands) have entered into, or have agreed in substance to, intergovernmental agreements with the United States to implement FATCA ("IGAs"), which modify the way in which FATCA applies in their jurisdictions. Under the provisions of IGAs as currently in effect, a foreign financial institution in an IGA jurisdiction would generally not be required to withhold under FATCA or an IGA from payments that it makes. Certain aspects of the application of the FATCA provisions and IGAs to instruments such as the Notes, including whether withholding would ever be required pursuant to FATCA or an IGA with respect to payments on instruments such as the Notes, are uncertain and may be subject to change. Even if withholding would be required pursuant to FATCA or an IGA with respect to payments on instruments such as the Notes, such withholding would not apply prior to the date that is two years after the date on which final regulations defining foreign passthru payments are published in the U.S. Federal Register and Notes characterised as debt (or which are not otherwise characterised as equity and have a fixed term) for U.S. federal tax purposes that are issued on or prior to the date that is six months after the date on which final regulations defining foreign passthru payments are published generally would be grandfathered for purposes of FATCA withholding unless materially modified after such date (including by reason of a substitution of an issuer). However, if additional Notes (as described in "Terms and Conditions of the Notes—Further Issues") that are not distinguishable from previously issued Notes are issued after the expiration of the grandfathering period and are subject to withholding under FATCA, then withholding agents may treat all Notes, including the Notes offered prior to the expiration of the grandfathering period, as subject to withholding under FATCA. Holders should consult their own tax advisers regarding how these rules may apply to their investment in Notes. In the event any withholding would be required pursuant to FATCA or an IGA with respect to payments on the Notes, no person will be required to pay additional amounts as a result of the withholding.

THE PROPOSED FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS TAX (FTT)

On 14 February 2013, the European Commission published a proposal (the "Commission's Proposal") for a Directive for a common FTT in Belgium, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Austria, Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia (each, other than Estonia, a "participating Member State"). However, Estonia has since ceased to participate.

The Commission's Proposal has very broad scope and could, if introduced, apply to certain dealings in Notes (including secondary market transactions) in certain circumstances. Primary market transactions referred to in Article 5(c) of Regulation (EC) No 1287/2006 are expected to be exempt.

Under the Commission's Proposal the FTT could apply in certain circumstances to persons both within and outside of the participating Member States. Generally, it would apply to certain dealings in Notes where at least one party is a financial institution, and at least one party is established in a participating Member State. A financial institution may be, or be deemed to be, "established" in a participating Member State in a broad range of circumstances, including (a) by transacting with a person established in a participating Member State or (b) where the financial instrument which is subject to the dealings is issued in a participating Member State.

However, the FTT proposal remains subject to negotiation between participating Member States. It may therefore be altered prior to any implementation, the timing of which remains unclear. Additional EU Member States may decide to participate.

Prospective holders of Notes are advised to seek their own professional advice in relation to the FTT.

SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE

The Dealers have, in a Programme Agreement (such Programme Agreement as modified and/or supplemented and/or restated from time to time, the "Programme Agreement") dated 17 February 2025, agreed with easyJet plc, easyJet B.V. and EACL a basis upon which they or any of them may from time to time agree to purchase Notes. Any such agreement will extend to those matters stated under "Form of the Notes" and "Terms and Conditions of the Notes". In the Programme Agreement, the Issuers (failing which, the Guarantors) have agreed to reimburse the Dealers for certain of their expenses in connection with the establishment and any future update of the Programme and the issue of Notes under the Programme and to indemnify the Dealers against certain liabilities incurred by them in connection therewith.

United States

The Notes and each Guarantee have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in certain transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Notes are subject to U.S. tax law requirements and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or its possessions or to a United States person, except in certain transactions permitted by U.S. Treasury regulations. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. The applicable Final Terms will identify whether TEFRA C rules or TEFRA D rules apply or whether TEFRA is not applicable.

Each Dealer has represented and agreed, and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree, that it will not offer, sell or deliver Notes (a) as part of their distribution at any time or (b) otherwise until 40 days after the completion of the distribution of all Notes of the Tranche of which such Notes are a part, within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons except in accordance with Regulation S of the Securities Act. Each Dealer has further agreed, and each further Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree, that it will send to each dealer to which it sells any Notes during the distribution compliance period a confirmation or other notice setting forth the restrictions on offers and sales of the Notes within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given to them by Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Until 40 days after the commencement of the offering of any Series of Notes, an offer or sale of such Notes within the United States by any dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

Dealers transacting with the Issuers and the Guarantors

Certain of the Dealers and their affiliates have engaged, and may in the future engage, in investment banking and/or commercial banking transactions with, and may perform other services for, the Issuers, the Guarantors and their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the Dealers and their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Issuers, the Guarantors or their affiliates. Certain of the Dealers or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with the Issuers or the Guarantors routinely hedge their credit exposure to the Issuers or the Guarantors consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, such Dealers and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in securities, including potentially the Notes issued under the Programme. Any such short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of Notes issued under the Programme. The Dealers and their affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Trustee's action

The Conditions and the Trust Deed provide for the Trustee to take action on behalf of the Noteholders in certain circumstances, but only if the Trustee is indemnified and/or secured and/or pre-funded to its satisfaction. It may not always be possible for the Trustee to take certain actions, notwithstanding the provision of an indemnity and/or security and/or pre-funding to it. Where the Trustee is unable to take any action, the Noteholders are permitted by the Conditions and the Trust Deed to take the relevant action directly.
