EasyJet Plc Chief Financial Officer Andrew Findlay has informed the carrier that he plans to leave next year, days after facing down a demand for his removal from the board in a dramatic shareholder vote.
Findlay will stay on until May 2021 when his contract expires, EasyJet said in a statement on Tuesday. The low-cost carrier said it would begin a search for his replacement.
Investors resolved to retain Findlay and three other directors, including Chief Executive Officer Johan Lundgren and Chairman John Barton.
They were targeted for ouster by founder-turned-activist Stelios Haji-Ioannou, who has sought to pressure the company to cancel an order for more than 100
Airbus SE jets.
