FAQ 1. Does Stelios own easyJet? The airline is listed on the London Stock Exchange so it has many shareholders. Stelios remains the largest single shareholder. 2. Does Stelios run easyJet? As a public company, the airline is run by its own board of directors and by a full time management team. Stelios sits as a non executive director on the board and therefore he is an insider to the company. 3. Does Stelios charge easyJet a royalty for the use of the brand? Stelios initially built the easy brand through easyJet, the first easy company. When easyJet was floated on the stock exchange, Stelios agreed a nominal royalty for use of the easyJet brand. 4. Do other easy businesses get access to the easyJet customer base? As each business has different shareholders, all dealings between them is on arms-length terms and payment has to be made for such cross marketing opportunities 6. Can an easy brand licensee control what Stelios says? In order to maintain the integrity of the easy brand licensing system, Stelios has to be free to criticize a particular licensee in the way it uses the brand, first in confidential communications and in extreme circumstances in public. Obviously information which has been agreed to be kept confidential by both sides, will be kept confidential. 7. Who decides where the easy brand can be applied? The easyGroup and hence Stelios who owns it. He has more to lose and gain from the easy brand so he is best placed to decide. 8. Do easy businesses compete with each other? Yes they do. There are some restrictions imposed on each business in the brand licence to mainly stick to their core activity but many do compete and they do collaborate at the same time. 9. Are there risks with each brand extension? Yes there are. There is no reward without risk. But Stelios still believes that the benefits of building a common brand outweigh the risks. The whole is worth more than the sum of the parts! section 1 about us section 2 our visual identity 5. Is Stelios himself available to the easy brand licensees for PR/advertising purposes? Stelios does make himself available for such purposes especially at the launch phase of an easy business. Needless to say that such use will have to be made only after he has given his approval in writing. section 3 examples p36/38 last revised: July 2009
