Performance Evaluation
The Board has established a process to annually evaluate the performance of the Board, that of its
principal Committees, the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration committees, and that of individual directors.
The Board anticipates that the formal evaluation will be completed yearly. Based on the evaluation process
completed, the Board considers that the principal Committees have performed effectively throughout the year.
As part of the Board evaluation of its own performance, a questionnaire is circulated to all directors. The
questionnaire is designed to obtain directors’ comments regarding the performance of the Board including any
recommendations for improvement.
The Chairman, on behalf of the Board, reviews the evaluations of performance of the non-executive
directors on an annual basis. The non-executive directors, led by the Senior Independent Director, meet
annually without the Chairman present to evaluate his performance, having taken into account the views of
the executive director. The non-executive directors also evaluate the performance of the executive director.
These evaluations are designed to determine whether each director continues to contribute effectively and to
demonstrate commitment to the role.
The Audit, Nomination and Remuneration committees carry out annual reviews of their own
performance and terms of reference to ensure they are operating at maximum effectiveness and recommend
any changes they consider necessary to the Board for approval.
The Board considers the results of the evaluation process and any issues identified.
Shareholders
Ryanair recognises the importance of communications with shareholders. Ryanair communicates with all
of its shareholders following the release of quarterly and annual results directly via road shows, investor days
and/or by conference calls. The Chief Executive, senior financial, operational, and commercial management
participate in these events.
During the year ended March 31, 2010 the Company held discussions with a substantial number of
institutional investors.
