Announcement of Non-Discretionary Share Buyback Programme
23 April 2026
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 23 April 2026 and 22 May
2026 (the "Programme"), with a spend in this period of £350 million. This
follows the successful completion of a £350 million non-discretionary
programme on 22 April 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 23 April 2026 which permits the Company to purchase no more
than 182.8 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.
