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 26 May 2026 and 8 June
2026 (the "Programme"), with a spend in this period of £150 million. This
follows the successful completion of a £350 million non-discretionary
programme on 22 May 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, taking into account shares purchased
subsequent to this meeting, permits the Company to purchase no more than 169.0
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.
