29 November 2023 
easyJet plc 
('easyJet' or the 'Company') 
 
Publication of Circular and Notice of General Meeting 
Further to the announcement of the proposed purchase of 157 A320neo family aircraft and purchase rights for a further 
100 A320neo family aircraft (the 'Proposed Purchase') on 12 October 2023, the Board of easyJet announces that a General 
Meeting of the Company ('GM') will be held on Tuesday, 19 December 2023 at 10.00 a.m. at Hangar 89, London Luton 
Airport, Luton LU2 9PF. 
A circular relating to the Proposed Purchase, including the Notice of GM (the 'Circular'), has received approval from 
the Financial Conduct Authority. A copy of the Circular will be made available to shareholders in accordance with their 
communication preference and has been published on the Company's website at: https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/ 
shareholder-services/shareholder-meetings/. 
 
The Proposed Purchase constitutes a Class 1 transaction under the UK Listing Rules and is conditional upon shareholder 
approval being obtained at the GM. 
The Board considers that the resolution is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends shareholders 
vote for the resolution. 
GM arrangements 
The Company is offering facilities for shareholders to attend and vote at the GM in person or electronically, should 
they wish to do so. Further details are set out in Part 2 of the notes to the Notice of GM and a user guide to the 
electronic facilities is available on the website at https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/shareholder-services/ 
shareholder-meetings/. 
 
The Board strongly encourages shareholders to vote on the resolution in advance of the GM by completing an online proxy 
appointment form appointing the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy and to register any questions in advance. 
Further details are included in the notes to the Notice of GM. 
Shareholders are urged to submit their votes by proxy before 10.00 a.m. on Friday, 15 December 2023. 
Documents 
In connection with the above, the following documents are being posted or have been made available to shareholders 
today: 
   -- the Circular, including a letter from the Chairman explaining the background and rationale for the GM and 
  the formal Notice of GM; and 
   -- Form of Proxy for the GM. 
In accordance with Listing Rule 9.6.1 copies of the documents listed above have been submitted to the National Storage 
Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism. 
The Circular and other materials relating to the GM are available to view on the Company's website at https:// 
corporate.easyjet.com/investors/shareholder-services/shareholder-meetings/. 
 
 
Disenfranchisement 
As shareholders will be aware, the Board is ensuring the Company complies with European ownership and control 
requirements by exercising its powers to suspend voting rights of certain UK and non-EU nationals. For the period of 
any such suspension, the relevant shareholders would not be entitled to attend, speak or vote at shareholder meetings, 
including the GM, in respect of the shares subject to the suspension. Further information can be found on easyJet's 
website at https://corporate.easyjet.com/investors/shareholder-services/eu-share-ownership/. 
As at 27 November 2023, the level of ownership by EU persons was 35.71%. Accordingly, easyJet has suspended voting 
rights in respect of certain shares ('Affected Shares') held by Relevant Persons in accordance with easyJet's articles 
of association so that a majority of the voting rights in easyJet are held by EU Persons. 
We would recommend that all shareholders vote in advance of the GM, even in respect of any Affected Shares that they 
may hold. This is because those shares may be re-enfranchised in advance of the GM. 
Shareholders who own shares whose voting rights will be suspended (and therefore whose votes will not be counted) at 
the GM will receive a notice (an 'Affected Share Notice') by post from Equiniti, our Registrars, on or around 8 
December 2023 notifying them of the suspension of voting rights in respect of their Affected Shares. 
If a shareholder votes more than its eligible holding (for example, because some of their voting rights are suspended 
pursuant to an Affected Share Notice), Equiniti shall use its reasonable endeavours to contact the relevant shareholder 
to resolve any discrepancies, however, to the extent Equiniti is unable to resolve such discrepancies by 10.00 a.m. on 
Friday, 15 December 2023, Equiniti will scale back the relevant shareholder's votes on a pro rata basis so that such 
shareholder's votes do not exceed those it is entitled to vote. 
Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Circular.
