Informa Share Buyback Programme

Total Voting Rights

Informa (LSE: INF.L), the international B2B Markets, Knowledge Services and Business Intelligence Group today provided an update on the Total Voting Rights at the Company following the continuation of its Share Buyback Programme that forms part of the 2021-2024 Growth Acceleration Plan II.

Growth Acceleration Plan II ("GAP II")

GAP II is Informa's four-year programme to create a more focused, higher growth business. This will see the Group accelerate investment in its two businesses with scale leadership positions, B2B Markets and Academic Markets, and divest of its Informa Intelligence portfolio of businesses.

Share Buyback Programme

Alongside investing for growth, the Group intends to return a proportion of divestment proceeds to shareholders. Following a binding agreement for the sale of its Pharma Intelligence business for £1.9bn on 10 February 2022, the Company commenced a Share Buyback Programme and, as at 31 March 2022, has repurchased and cancelled 22,094,847 ordinary shares.

Total Voting Rights

On 31 March 2022, the Company issued 5,000,000 ordinary shares of 0.1p each for the purposes of its share option plans from its block listing authority of 4 June 2020 as increased on 19 March 2021. Those shares rank equally in all respects with the existing issued ordinary shares in the Company.

As a result of this issue and the Share Buyback Programme, at 31 March 2022, the total issued share capital of the Company, and its total voting rights, consisted of 1,486,017,957 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each.  The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury.

The above figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. 

This disclosure is given in accordance with DTR 5.6.1 of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
