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 is returning a proportion of divestment proceeds to shareholders. The Company commenced a Share Buyback Programme in February 2022 and, as at 31 August 2022, has repurchased and cancelled 66,743,483[1] ordinary shares.

Total Voting Rights

As a result, as at 31 August 2022, the total issued share capital of the Company, and its total voting rights, consisted of 1,441,369,321 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.
