Geneva, 4 September 2024:  Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("Wizz Air"), the most environmentally sustainable European airline, announces that Barry Eccleston, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, and Chair of the Remuneration Committee, has informed the Board that, due to personal reasons, he has elected to take a temporary leave of absence.

During Barry's leave of absence, with immediate effect, Stephen Johnson, Deputy Chair, and current observer of the Remuneration Committee, will assume the role of Interim Chair of the Remuneration Committee. Stephen brings a wealth of experience in managing shareholder relations and executive remuneration within the airline industry. With extensive executive and non-executive board experience, he has consistently ensured good governance. Given his recognised expertise in the airline industry and his alignment with the interests of shareholders, the Board is of the view that Stephen is best placed to Chair the Remuneration Committee on an interim basis.

Other Committee changes will be announced in due course.
