Informa Share Buyback Programme
Further to its announcement of 20 January 2026, Informa plc ("Informa" or the "Company") confirms the commencement of its 2026 share buyback programme with an initial minimum consideration of £200 million, with scope for further buybacks through the year (the "Programme").
Informa has entered into an agreement with Deustche Bank AG, London Branch (trading for these purposes as Deutsche Numis) ("Deutsche Numis") to purchase Informa's ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each ("Ordinary Shares") up to a consideration of £200 million under the Programme.
The purchase of Ordinary Shares will be carried out on the London Stock Exchange and other trading venues and in accordance with share purchase authorities granted to the Company by its shareholders at the 2025 Annual General Meeting (the "Authority"). Deutsche Numis will purchase any Ordinary Shares as riskless principal and make trading decisions independently from the Company in accordance with certain pre-set parameters.
The purpose of the Programme is to reduce the share capital of Informa. It is intended that all Ordinary Shares purchased under the Programme will be cancelled.
The Programme will be conducted in accordance the Authority and with the UK Market Abuse Regulation and the UK Listing Rules. The Company will make announcements and publish on its website details of any share repurchases under the Programme.
The maximum number of Ordinary Shares that Informa may purchase under the Programme before expiry of the Authority, which occurs on the earlier of the conclusion of the 2026 AGM or 18 September 2026, is 111,328,689 (being the maximum number permitted under the Authority and after taking into account shares repurchased under the 2025 share buyback programme). The Company has authorised the Programme to continue until the earlier of: (i) the maximum aggregate consideration payable by the Company has been reached or (ii) 31 December 2026, subject to the maximum aggregate number of shares not exceeding the authority conferred by shareholders at the 2025 AGM or any renewal of such authority at the 2026 AGM.
