Announcement of Non-Discretionary Share Buyback Programme

 

24 April 2025

ISSUED ON BEHALF OF RELX PLC

Announcement of Non-Discretionary Share Buyback Programme

RELX PLC (the “Company”) announces in compliance with the UK and EU Market
Abuse Regulations that it will implement an irrevocable, non-discretionary
programme to repurchase its ordinary shares between 24 April 2025 and 13 June
2025 (the "Programme"), with a spend in this period of £300 million. This
follows the successful completion of a £450 million non-discretionary
programme on 23 April 2025. Both programmes are part of the £1.5 billion to
be deployed on share buybacks in 2025, as announced on 13 February 2025.

The purpose of the Programme is to reduce the capital of the Company and it
intends that shares purchased will be held in treasury.

Any share purchases will be made by the Company within certain pre-set
parameters and in accordance with the general authority of the Company to
repurchase shares granted by shareholders at the Company’s Annual General
Meeting held on 24 April 2025 which permits the Company to purchase no more
than 188.1 million ordinary shares. Any share purchases effected by the
Company will be in accordance with the UK and EU Market Abuse Regulations and
Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules.

The Company has entered into an agreement with ABN AMRO Bank N.V. ("ABN AMRO")
under which it has issued irrevocable instructions to ABN AMRO to manage the
Programme. ABN AMRO will carry out the Company’s instructions through the
acquisition of ordinary shares in the Company for subsequent repurchase by the
Company. ABN AMRO will make its trading decisions under the Programme
independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company.
