Council Regulation (EC) No. 2027/97, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No. 889/2002, governs
air carrier liability. This legislation provides for unlimited liability of an air carrier in the event of death or
bodily injuries suffered by passengers, implementing the Warsaw Convention of 1929 for the Unification of
Certain Rules Relating to Transportation by Air, as amended by the Montreal Convention of 1999. Ryanair has
extended its liability insurance to meet the requirements of the legislation. See “Item 3. Key Information—Risk
Factors—Risks Related to the Airline Industry—The Company Faces the Risk of Loss and Liability” for
information on the Company’s risks of loss and liability.

Ryanair has agreements with the DAA, the Irish government authority charged with operating Dublin
Airport, to lease bag-drop counters and other space at the passenger and cargo terminal facilities at Dublin
Airport. The airport office facilities used by Ryanair at London (Stansted) are leased from the airport authority;
similar facilities at each of the other airports Ryanair serves are provided by Servisair plc or other service
providers.
TRADEMARKS
Ryanair’s logo and the slogans “Ryanair.com The Low Fares Website” and “Ryanair The Low Fares
Airline” have been registered as Community Trade Marks (“CTMs”). Ryanair has also registered the CTM for
the word “Ryanairhotels.com.” A CTM allows a trademark owner to obtain a single registration of its
trademark, which registration affords uniform protection for that trademark in all EU member states. The
registration gives Ryanair an exclusive monopoly over the use of its trade name with regard to similar services
and the right to sue for trademark infringement should another party use an identical or confusingly similar
trademark in relation to identical, or similar services.
Ryanair has not registered either its name or its logo as a trademark in Ireland, as CTM-registration
provides all of the protection available from an Irish registration, and management believes there are therefore
no advantages in making a separate Irish application.
