Capital allocation update: launch of US$1bn share repurchase programme

30 January 2026 - Experian, the global data and technology company, today
announces the launch of a US$1bn share repurchase programme (the Programme).

We continue to trade strongly underpinned by our strategic execution and we
expect to end this financial year in a favourable leverage position. This
enables us to continue to invest in the business while also returning excess
capital to shareholders.

 

Given this flexibility, we see opportunity to drive additional shareholder
value through the introduction of increased share repurchases. Our medium-term
financial framework, capital allocation framework and dividend policy are all
unchanged.

 

The Experian plc Board has approved the following Programme:

 

·    A share repurchase of up to US$1bn to conclude no later than 30 June
2027. The maximum number of shares that may be repurchased is 89,789,942
pursuant to the authority granted at the 2025 AGM.

·    The pace and form of the proposed capital return will be subject to
market conditions, and the ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the
business. The purpose of the Programme is to reduce the number of shares in
issue and to meet obligations arising from employee share plans of c.$200m.

·   Experian has entered into an engagement with JP Morgan in connection
with the first tranche of the Programme, to commence immediately.
