RESULT OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

 

SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE ALL ORDINARY AND SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS AT WIZZ AIR'S 2026 AGM

 

Geneva, 5 August 2026: Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air" or the "Company"), announces that at its annual general meeting ("AGM") held earlier today, all ordinary and special resolutions were passed. All resolutions were decided by poll.

 

The total voting rights of the Company as at 7:00 p.m. (CEST) on 3 August 2026, being the time at which shareholders had to be on the Company's shareholder register in order to be eligible to vote, was 103,515,051.

 

In accordance with paragraph 6.2.8 of the UK Listing Rules, the resolutions to re-elect Barry Eccleston, Charlotte Pedersen, Charlotte Andsager, Enrique Dupuy de Lome Chavarri, Anthony Radev, Anna Gatti and Phit Lian Chong as directors of the Company were approved by (a) the shareholders of the Company (resolutions 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19) and (b) the independent shareholders of the Company (resolutions 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20).

 

In accordance with paragraph 6.4.2 of the UK Listing Rules, a copy of the special resolutions approved at the AGM have been forwarded to the Financial Conduct Authority for publication through the Document Viewing Facility and will be accessible via the National Storage Mechanism website (National Storage Mechanism | FCA).

 

The AGM results will also be made available on the Company's website: General Meetings (wizzair.com).

 

The Board notes that resolutions 2,7 and 8, as per the table below, had more than 20% of votes cast against. In the coming months, the Board will continue to consult with major shareholders on remuneration and wider governance matters. In accordance with the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board will publish an update on this engagement within six months of the AGM.

 

The Board is pleased that each of the AGM resolutions received broad-based shareholder support and appreciates the time taken by shareholders to engage with the Company in recent months.

 

The first table below shows the total number of votes that were cast without showing the effect of disenfranchising a fixed proportion of shares held by each Non-Qualifying National as the result of sending Restricted Share Notices to such persons, as announced by the Company on 10 July 2026. It is not, therefore, the result of the AGM.

 

The second table shows the results of the poll taken at the AGM. The number of shares voting and the percentage of share capital voted reflect such proportionate disenfranchisement.

 

Further details of each of the resolutions are contained in the notice of AGM which is available at General Meetings (wizzair.com).
