Informa PLC Press Release

Informa Share Buyback Programme
Update on GAP 2 shareholder returns
Informa PLC ('the Company') (LSE: INF.L), the international B2B
Events, Specialist Data, Digital Services and Academic Markets
Group today provided an update on its Share Buyback programme that
forms part of the 2021-2024 Growth Acceleration Plan 2 ('GAP
2').
Share Buyback Programme
GAP 2 is Informa's four-year programme to create a more focused,
higher growth business. This includes accelerated investment in its
two businesses with scale leadership positions, B2B Markets and
Academic Markets, and the divestment of its Informa Intelligence
portfolio of businesses.
GAP 2 also includes a commitment to accelerate shareholder
returns, sharing some of the divestment proceeds with shareholders,
alongside increased investment into the Group's two leadership
businesses. This led to the resumption of ordinary dividends and
the launch of a Share Buyback Programme.
On 14 November 2023, this buyback programme was extended by
GBP150m to GBP1.15bn.
As part of the extended Share Buyback, on 21 November 2023, the
Company purchased 155,125 ordinary shares for cancellation through
Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc at an average price of
749.63 pence per share. The highest and lowest purchase price paid
per share were 749.80 and 748.40 respectively, with the aggregate
details of shares purchased by trading venue as outlined in the
table below:

ordinary shares in issue, and its total voting rights, will be
