Wizz Air Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") award grants

LONDON, 9 July - Wizz Air, the largest low-cost airline in Central and Eastern Europe, announces the first grant of awards under its LTIP, details of which were outlined in Wizz Air's IPO prospectus, to a number of persons discharging management responsibilities ("PDMRs").

On 8 July 2015, following approval by the Remuneration Committee, Wizz Air made a grant of options under the LTIP over 260,639 ordinary shares in the capital of Wizz Air of £0.0001 par value ("Awards"). Of these Awards, options over 211,639 ordinary shares in the capital of Wizz Air were granted to PDMRs as set out below.

The following PDMRs were granted Awards of Performance Options:

The performance conditions (with a 50% weighting for each) applicable to the Performance Options as set by the Remuneration Committee are:

1. Total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of certain selected European airlines. The base measure for TSR will be the average trading price of shares during the 30 days immediately before the award date, and the closing measure will be the average trading price of shares during the 30 days immediately before the third anniversary of the award date. At vesting, payout is to be 25% of the award for TSR performance equal to median performance, with a 100% payout for performance equal to, or exceeding, upper quartile performance. Linear interpolation will apply for performance between the median and upper quartile; and

2. Absolute growth in underlying, fully-diluted earnings per share ("EPS"). EPS growth will be measured over the period from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2018 (FY 2016 to FY 2018 inclusive).

Target EPS growth over the performance period has been set at an average of 17% per annum (achievement of which will result in 50% of the award vesting), with the threshold set at 14% per annum (triggering 25% vesting), and the maximum at 20% per annum (triggering 100% vesting). Linear interpolation applies for performance between 14% to 17% and 17% to 20%.

The following PDMRs will also receive Awards of Restricted Options which will ordinarily vest on the third anniversary of the award date and are not subject to performance conditions:

All vested options must be exercised within ten years of the date of grant. If exercised, then the underlying shares of the vested options will be issued at nil cost to the option holders. No amounts have been paid by the relevant PDMRs for the grant of these options. The closing, middle-market price of the Company's ordinary shares on 8 July 2015 was £15.94.

This announcement is made pursuant to Disclosure and Transparency Rule 3.1.4 R.
