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: compromises of RELX cyber security systems or other unauthorised access to our databases; regulatory and other changes regarding the collection, transfer or use of third-party content and data; changes in law and legal interpretations affecting RELX intellectual property rights and internet communications; current and future geopolitical, economic and market conditions; changes in economic cycles, communicable disease epidemics or pandemics, severe weather events, natural disasters and terrorism; changes in tax laws and uncertainty in their application; changes in the payment model for RELX products; competitive factors in the industries in which RELX operates and demand for RELX products and services; failure of third parties to whom RELX has outsourced business activities; breaches of generally accepted ethical business standards or applicable laws; significant failure or interruption of RELX systems; inability to realise the future anticipated benefits of acquisitions; inability to retain high-quality employees and management; exchange rate fluctuations 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 2022 Annual Report and the 2022 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, which speak only as of the date of the 2022 Annual Report and the 2022 Form 20-F, or to reflect events or circumstances after the date of the 2022 Annual Report and the 2022 Form 20-F, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
