RESULTS OF PLACING ordinary shares in Wizz Air Holdings Plc

London, 15 June 2017: Further to the announcement released on 14 June 2017 by Indigo Partners LLC ("Indigo Partners"), Indigo Partners announces that Indigo Hungary LP and Indigo Maple Hill, L.P. (the "Indigo Shareholders"), being investment funds managed by it, have sold an aggregate of 10.7 million ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") in Wizz Air Holdings Plc ("WIZZ" or the "Company", ticker "WIZZ"), by way of an accelerated bookbuild process to institutional investors (the "Placing") at a price of 2,320 pence per Placing Share raising gross proceeds of approximately £249 million.

Following completion of the Placing, the Indigo Shareholders will hold (a) no ordinary shares, (b) 44,830,503 convertible shares and (c) convertible notes which on conversion of the full principal amount would entitle the Indigo Shareholders to have issued to them an additional 24,246,715 new ordinary shares (excluding any ordinary shares that would be issued in respect of accrued but unpaid interest).

In the context of the Placing, subject to customary exceptions, the Indigo Shareholders will not make additional sales of ordinary shares in WIZZ for 90 days without the consent of the Joint Bookrunners.

The proceeds of the Placing are payable in cash. The closing of the Placing is expected to occur on or around 19 June 2017.

The Indigo Shareholders have engaged J.P.Morgan Securities plc, which conducts its UK investment banking activities as J.P. Morgan Cazenove, Barclays Bank PLC and Citigroup Global Markets Limited as bookrunners (the "Joint Bookrunners") and Goodbody Stockbrokers UC as placing agent (the "Placing Agent", together with the Joint Bookrunners, the "Managers") in connection with the Placing.

The Company will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
