NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
Ryanair Holdings plc ("Ryanair" or the "Company") announces today (28 March) that it has published a circular to shareholders ("Circular") convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company ("EGM"). The EGM will be held at 9.00 a.m. on 19 April, 2012 at The Radisson Blu Hotel, Dublin Airport, Co. Dublin, Ireland. A copy of the Circular is available on the Company's website at www.ryanair.com. The Circular has also been filed with the Irish Stock Exchange and with the United Kingdom Listing Authority's National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available at:
Company Announcements Office
Irish Stock Exchange
28 Anglesea Street
Dublin
Ireland; and at
www.hemscott.com/nsm.do
Two resolutions are proposed for consideration at the EGM. Resolution 1 is a proposal, (announced as part of the Company's Q3 Results issued on 30 January, 2012), to amend the Company's 5% share buy back authority in order to accommodate the possible repurchase of ordinary shares held in ADS form. Resolution 2 relates to the proposal by the Company to reclassify its listing on the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority from a premium listing to a standard listing in order to facilitate such ADS repurchases. The Company's Ordinary Shares will continue to be traded on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange and the Company will also retain its primary listing on the Official List of the Irish Stock Exchange which will ensure that all the current shareholder protections and corporate governance requirements remain applicable. Ryanair will also retain its listing on NASDAQ, in ADS form (American Depositary Shares). It is not expected that this change in listing will have any impact on trading or liquidity in any of the three markets on which Ryanair securities are traded.
Further information in relation to both Resolutions (which are inter-conditional) is contained in the Circular.
