OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Legal Proceedings
The Company is engaged in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its business. Although no
assurance can be given as to the outcome of any current or pending litigation, management does not believe that
any of such litigation will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial condition of the Company, except as otherwise described below.
EU State Aid-Related Proceedings. On December 11, 2002, the European Commission announced the
launch of an investigation into the 2001 agreement among Ryanair, the Brussels (Charleroi) airport and the
government of the Walloon Region of Belgium, the owner of the airport, which enabled the Company to launch
new routes and base up to four aircraft at Brussels (Charleroi). The European Commission’s investigation was
based on an anonymous complaint alleging that Ryanair’s arrangements with Brussels (Charleroi) constituted
illegal state aid.
