  • Certain restrictions which may from time to time be imposed by laws or regulations such as those relating to insider dealing
  • Pursuant to the Company’s code for securities transactions whereby the Directors and designated employees require approval to deal in the Company’s shares
  • Where a person with an interest in the Company’s shares has been served with a disclosure notice and has failed to provide the Company with information concerning interests in those shares
  • Where a proposed transferee of the Company’s shares has failed to furnish to the Directors a declaration of nationality (together with such evidence as the Directors may require) as required by the Company’s Articles of Association
  • The powers given to the Directors by the Company’s Articles of Association to limit the ownership of the Company’s shares by non UK nationals and powers to enforce this limitation including the right to force a sale of any affected shares.

The Company is not aware of any arrangements between shareholders that may result in restrictions on the transfer of securities or voting rights.

Employee share schemes – rights of control

The trustee of the easyJet Share Incentive Plan (the Plan) will, on receipt of any offer, compromise, arrangement or scheme which affects ordinary shares held in the Plan, invite participants to direct the trustee on the exercise of any voting rights attaching to the ordinary shares held by the trustee on their behalf and/or direct how the trustee shall act in relation to those ordinary shares. The trustee shall take no action in respect of ordinary shares for which it has received no directions or ordinary shares which are unallocated. Generally, on a poll the trustee shall vote in accordance with directions given by participants. In the absence of directions or on a show of hands the trustee shall not vote.
