The Board of easyJet plc ("easyJet") announces its intention to recommend to shareholders the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as easyJet's auditor for the year ending 30 September 2016.
The intention to re-appoint PwC as easyJet's auditor follows a robust and formal tender process led by the Chair of the Audit Committee in accordance with the latest best practice guidance. The competitive tender process started with meetings with each of the top 10 audit firms in the UK (by fee income), through to the Audit Committee providing the Board with a shortlist of two preferred audit firms, and concluding with recommending PwC. PwC were first appointed as auditor to easyJet for the year ended 30 September 2006.
Following finalisation of the terms of PwC's engagement, the re-appointment of PwC will be recommended to shareholders for approval at the Annual General Meeting in February 2016.
