Informa Share Buyback Programme

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

Share Buyback Programme

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.

As announced on 16 June 2022, following completion of the Pharma Intelligence divestment, the Company further expanded its Share Buyback Programme to £725m, an increase from the £300m announced within the Company's 2021 Full Year Results Statement on 15 March. This represents c.50% of the post-tax cash proceeds received to date from the delivery of GAP II Portfolio Focus.

As part of this extension, on 11 August 2022, the Company purchased 432,918 ordinary shares for cancellation through Merrill Lynch International at an average price of 591.2725 pence per share.

The highest and lowest purchase price paid per share were 594.80p and 588.20p respectively, with the aggregate details of shares purchased by trading venue as outlined in the table below:

Following settlement of the above purchases and cancellation of the purchased ordinary shares, the Company's total number of ordinary shares in issue, and its total voting rights, will be 1,445,511,760 ordinary shares. The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury.

In accordance with Article 5(1)(b) of the Market Abuse Regulation, a full breakdown of the individual trades made as part of the buyback programme is detailed in the attachment.
