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 23 March 2026 and 22 April
2026 (the "Programme"), with a spend in this period of £350 million. This
follows the successful completion of a £450 million non-discretionary
programme on 20 March 2026. Both programmes are part of the £2.25 billion to
be deployed on share buybacks in 2026, as announced on 12 February 2026.

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, taking into account shares purchased
subsequent to this meeting, permits the Company to purchase no more than 136.4
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 J.P. Morgan Securities plc
(JPMS plc) under which it has issued  instructions to JPMS plc to manage the
Programme. JPMS plc will carry out the Company's instructions through the
acquisition of ordinary shares in the Company for subsequent repurchase by the
Company. JPMS plc will make its trading decisions under the Programme
independently of, and uninfluenced by, the Company.

The Company also announces that any repurchases of its ordinary shares
pursuant to the Programme, and any future repurchases after completion of the
Programme, are expected to be announced on a weekly basis and in any event
will be announced no later than the end of the seventh trading day following
the date of the repurchase (in accordance with the Market Abuse Regulation
(596/2014) (as in force in the UK and as amended by the Market Abuse
(Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019), the Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2016/1052 (as in force in the UK and as amended by the FCA's Technical
Standards (Market Abuse Regulation) (EU Exit) Instrument 2019) and UK Listing
Rule 9 (as amended by the UK Listing Rules (Notification of Purchases)
Instrument dated 27 February 2026).
