Capital allocation update: launch of US$1bn share repurchase programme

30 January 2026 - Experian, the global data and technology company, today announces the launch of a US$1bn share repurchase programme (the Programme).

We continue to trade strongly underpinned by our strategic execution and we expect to end this financial year in a favourable leverage position. This enables us to continue to invest in the business while also returning excess capital to shareholders.

Given this flexibility, we see opportunity to drive additional shareholder value through the introduction of increased share repurchases. Our medium-term financial framework, capital allocation framework and dividend policy are all unchanged.

The Experian plc Board has approved the following Programme:

· A share repurchase of up to US$1bn to conclude no later than 30 June 2027. The maximum number of shares that may be repurchased is 89,789,942 pursuant to the authority granted at the 2025 AGM.

· The pace and form of the proposed capital return will be subject to market conditions, and the ongoing assessment of the capital needs of the business. The purpose of the Programme is to reduce the number of shares in issue and to meet obligations arising from employee share plans of c.$200m.

· Experian has entered into an engagement with JP Morgan in connection with the first tranche of the Programme, to commence immediately.
