Additional information
required to be made available by the Company under Rule 6.3.5 of
the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the UK Financial Conduct
Authority, to the extent not already included in the RELX 2024
Results Announcement issued on 13 February 2025, is set out
below.
The following
responsibility statement is extracted from page 129 of the 2024
Annual Report and is repeated here solely for the purposes of
complying with Disclosure and Transparency Rule 6.3.5.
Responsibility is for the full 2024 Annual Report, not the

Announcement.
Each of the Directors, whose
names and roles can be found on pages 82
and 83 of the 2024 Annual Report, confirms
that, to the best of their knowledge:
-
the consolidated and parent company financial
statements, prepared in accordance with UK adopted IAS in
conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and IFRS
accounting standards as issued by the International Accounting
Standards Board, give a true and fair view of the assets,
liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the
Group;
- the
Strategic report includes a fair review of the development and
performance of the business and the position of the Group, together
with a description of the principal and emerging risks and
uncertainties that it faces; and
- the
Annual Report and Financial Statements, taken as a whole, is fair,
balanced and understandable and provides the information necessary
for shareholders to assess the Company's position and performance, business
model and strategy.
Forward-looking
statements
The 2024 Annual Report and the 2024
Form 20-F contain forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results or outcomes of RELX PLC (together
with its subsidiaries, "RELX", "we" or "our") to differ materially

any statements that are not historical facts to be "forward-looking
statements". The terms "outlook", "estimate", "forecast",
"project", "plan", "intend", "expect", "should", "could", "will",
"believe", "trends" and similar expressions may indicate a
forward-looking statement. Important factors that could cause
actual results or outcomes to differ materially from estimates or
forecasts contained in the forward-looking statements include,
among others: regulatory and other changes regarding the collection
or use of personal data; changes in law and legal interpretation
affecting our intellectual property rights and internet
communications; current and future geopolitical, economic and
market conditions; research integrity issues or changes in the
payment model for our scientific, technical and medical research
products; competitive factors in the industries in which we operate
and demand for our products and services; our inability to realise
the future anticipated benefits of acquisitions; compromises of our
cybersecurity systems or other unauthorised access to our
databases; changes in economic cycles, trading relations,
communicable disease epidemics or pandemics, severe weather events,
natural disasters and terrorism; failure of third parties to whom
we have outsourced business activities; significant failure or
interruption of our systems; our inability to retain high-quality
employees and management; changes in tax laws and uncertainty in
their application; exchange rate fluctuations; adverse market
conditions or downgrades to the credit ratings of our debt; changes
in the market values of defined benefit pension scheme assets and
in the market related assumptions used to value scheme liabilities;
breaches of generally accepted ethical business standards or
applicable laws; and other risks referenced from time to time in
the filings of RELX PLC with the US Securities and Exchange
Commission. You should not place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the
2024 Annual Report and the 2024 Form 20-F. Except as may be
required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or
release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to
reflect events or circumstances after the date of the 2024 Annual
