Dear Shareholder,

The 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM or Meeting) of RELX PLC (the Company), will be held at 9.30 am on Thursday, 25 April 2024 at Lexis House, 30 Farringdon Street, London, EC4A 4HH. The Notice of AGM (Notice) on pages 3 and 4 sets out the business to be considered at the Meeting, an explanation of which can be found on pages 5 and 6.

Dividend

Your Board has recommended a final dividend for 2023 of 41.8p per ordinary share. Subject to shareholder approval at the AGM, the dividend will be paid on 13 June 2024 to shareholders appearing on the register at the close of business on 3 May 2024. The Euro equivalent of the final dividend for 2023 will be announced on

24 May 2024.

Shareholders appearing on the Register of Members or holding their shares through CREST continue to receive their dividends in Pounds Sterling but have the option to elect to receive their dividends in Euros. Shareholders who hold RELX PLC shares through Euroclear Nederland (via banks and brokers) automatically receive their dividends in Euros but have the option to elect to receive their dividends in Pounds Sterling. The Company will operate Dividend Reinvestment Plans for the 2023 final dividend. Further information is available on page 234 of the Annual Report 2023 and on our website www.relx.com.

Election and Re-election of Directors

Having reached the ninth year of her tenure on our Board, Marike van Lier Lels will not be seeking re-election to the Board at this year's AGM. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Ms van Lier Lels for her considerable contribution to RELX and she leaves the Company with our very best wishes for the future.

On 8 December 2023, we announced that Bianca Tetteroo will join the Board as a Non-Executive Director, with effect from 1 July 2024, subject to her election by shareholders at this year's AGM. Ms Tetteroo is currently Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Executive Board of Achmea BV, a leading Dutch financial services organisation, and has worked across multiple business lines including banking, insurance and investments. She is a highly accomplished leader with significant international and strategic experience, combined with a strong understanding and appreciation of the importance of aligning business success and stakeholder interests and we look forward to welcoming her to the Board. Ms Tetteroo's biographical details are set out on page 9 of this Notice.

Each of the current Directors will retire from the Board at the AGM and, with the exception of Ms van Lier Lels, offer themselves for re-election. The skills and experience that each Director seeking election and re-election brings to the Board, together with their continued contributions to the Company's long-term success, are set out on pages 7 to 9.

Recommendation

Your Board considers that all the proposed resolutions set out in the Notice are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of all the resolutions set out on pages 3 and 4, as they intend to do in respect of their own holdings.

Voting Procedures

If you would like to vote on the resolutions in the Notice and will not attend the AGM, please refer to the information concerning the appointment of a proxy on page 10. All resolutions proposed at the Meeting will be decided by poll, and not on a show of hands, in accordance with current recommended practice. The results of the poll will be published on the Company's website and notified to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) once the votes have been verified.

Yours faithfully

Paul Walker

This power applies in relation to a sale of shares which is an allotment of equity securities by virtue of Section 560(3) of the Act as if in the first paragraph of this resolution the words 'pursuant to the authority conferred by resolution 16 in this Notice' were omitted.

Explanation of business

To be proposed at the 2024 Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Resolution 1 - Annual Report 2023

The Directors must present the accounts, together with the reports of the Directors and the Company's auditor for the year ended 31 December 2023, to shareholders at the AGM. These are contained within the Annual Report 2023, printed copies of which have been sent to shareholders who have elected to receive it. The Annual Report 2023 is available online at www.relx.com.

Resolution 2 - Directors' Remuneration Report

The Directors' Remuneration Report is set out on pages 128 to 148 (inclusive) (excluding the Directors' Remuneration Policy Report set out on pages 142 to 148 (inclusive)) in the Annual Report 2023. The Directors' Remuneration Report details the Directors' remuneration for the year ended 31 December 2023, and sets out how the Company's current policy on Directors' remuneration has been applied during the year and will be implemented in 2024. The Company's auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, have audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report which are required to be audited.

In compliance with applicable legislation, shareholders will be invited to approve the Directors' Remuneration Report. The vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report is advisory in nature.

Resolution 3 - Declaration of 2023 final dividend

The Company requires shareholder approval to pay a final dividend, the amount of which cannot exceed the amount recommended by the Directors. The Directors recommend a final dividend payment of 41.8p per ordinary share. If approved, the final dividend will be paid on 13 June 2024 to shareholders recorded in the Company's Register of Members at the close of business on

3 May 2024.

Resolutions 4 and 5 - Re-appointment of auditor and auditor's remuneration

The auditor of the Company must be re-appointed at each general meeting at which accounts are laid. On the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board proposes the re-appointment of the Company's existing auditor, Ernst & Young LLP. If resolution 4

is approved, Ernst & Young LLP will be re-appointed until the conclusion of the next general meeting of the Company at which accounts are laid. Resolution 5 seeks authority for the Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, to determine the auditor's remuneration.

Resolutions 6 to 15 - Election and Re-election of Directors Resolutions 6 to 15 relate to those Directors who are seeking election or re-electionat the AGM in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association and the relevant provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code. Biographies setting out the skills and experience of each of the Directors seeking election and re-electioncan be found on pages 7 to 9 of this Notice.

Based on the results of an externally facilitated Board evaluation carried out during 2023, the Nominations Committee believes that the contribution and performance of each Director seeking re-election at the AGM continues to be effective, and that they each demonstrate commitment to their respective roles. The Nominations Committee believes that each of the Non-Executive Directors seeking election or re-election are independent in character and judgement and there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect their independence or judgement.

Accordingly, the Board recommends shareholders to vote in favour of each Director seeking election or re-election by resolutions 6 to 15.

Resolution 16 - Authority to allot shares

Resolution 16 seeks to renew the authority for the Directors to allot shares. The Company's Directors may only allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares if authorised to do so by shareholders.

The authority conferred on the Directors at last year's annual general meeting under Section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the Act) to allot shares expires on the date of the forthcoming AGM. Accordingly, this resolution seeks new authority under Section 551 of the Act to authorise the Directors to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company and, if approved, will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company (or, if earlier, the close of business on 25 July 2025).

Paragraph (A) of resolution 16(a)(i) will, if passed, authorise the Directors to allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or to convert any security into, such shares in the Company up to a maximum aggregate nominal amount of £90.6 million. This amount represents one third of the Company's existing issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at

15 February 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to publication of the Notice). Paragraph (B) of resolution 16(a)(i) authorises the Directors to allot, including the shares referred to in (A), further of the Company's unissued shares up to an aggregate nominal amount of £181.2 million in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders (with exclusions to deal with fractional entitlements to shares and overseas shareholders to whom the offer cannot be made due to legal and practical problems). This amount represents two thirds of the Company's existing issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at 15 February 2024.

The proposals contained in resolution 16 are in accordance with the latest institutional guidelines published by the Investment Association. Although at present the Directors have no intention of exercising this authority, it is considered prudent to maintain the flexibility that it provides.

The Company held 24,339,674 shares in treasury as at 15 February 2024. This amount represented 1.29% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at that date.

Resolutions 17 and 18 - Disapplication of pre-emption rights Under Section 561(1) of the Act, if the Directors wish to allot ordinary shares, or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, ordinary shares, or sell treasury shares for cash they must first offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. There may be occasions, however, when the Company needs the flexibility to finance business opportunities by allotting shares without a pre-emptiveoffer to existing shareholders. This cannot be done under the Act unless the shareholders have first given a limited waiver of their pre-emptionrights. Resolutions 17 and 18 ask shareholders to grant this waiver. The resolutions will be proposed as special resolutions.

6 Explanation of business Continued

Resolution 17 asks shareholders to waive their pre-emption rights and, apart from rights issues or any other pre-emptive offer concerning equity securities, the power contained in this resolution will be limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £13.5 million (which includes the sale on a non-pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares, as at 15 February 2024 (the latest practicable date before the publication of the Notice).

The waiver sought in resolution 18 is in addition to the waiver proposed by resolution 17. It is limited to the allotment of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £13.5 million (which includes the sale on a non-pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents a further 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital, excluding treasury shares,

as at 15 February 2024 (the latest practicable date before the publication of the Notice). This further waiver may only be used for an allotment of shares for cash for the purposes of financing (or refinancing, if the waiver is used within six months of the originaltransaction)atransactionwhichtheDirectorsdetermineto beanacquisitionorspecifiedcapitalinvestmentofakindcontemplated bythePre-EmptionGroup's2015StatementofPrinciples.

The disapplication authorities being sought are in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles published in 2015. The Board does not intend to allot shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis pursuant to the power in resolution 17:

  1. in excess of an amount equal to 5% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company excluding treasury shares; or
  2. save in connection with an acquisition or specified capital investment (as described above), in excess of an amount equal to 7.5% of the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company excluding treasury shares within a rolling three-year period, without prior consultation with shareholders.

If approved, the authority contained in resolutions 17 and 18 will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company (or, if earlier, the close of business on 25 July 2025).

The Board notes that, in November 2022, the Pre-Emption Group published a revised Statement of Principles providing for the issuance of a greater number of shares on a non-pre-emptive basis. At this time, the Board considers it appropriate to follow the previous Pre-Emption Principles and will keep this under review.

Resolution 19 - Authority to purchase own shares Resolution 19 seeks to renew the authority for the Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares as permitted by the Act. The authority limits the number of shares that could be purchased to a maximum of 190.7 million (representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at 15 February 2024) and sets minimum and maximum prices. Any purchases of ordinary shares would be by means of market purchases in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Any shares purchased under this authority may either be cancelled or held as treasury shares. Treasury shares may subsequently be cancelled, sold for cash or

used to satisfy options issued to employees pursuant to the RELX PLC employee share plans. To the extent that any shares purchased are held in treasury, earnings per share would only be increased on a temporary basis until such time as the shares are resold out of treasury. The authority conferred under this resolution will be used only in circumstances where the Directors, after careful consideration, believe that such a purchase would be in the best interests of the Company and

of shareholders generally.

As at 15 February 2024, the Company had purchased 21.7 million ordinary shares under the authority granted by shareholders at the 2023 annual general meeting.

On 15 February 2024, the Company announced its intention to deploy a total of £1 billion to repurchase RELX PLC ordinary shares in 2024. Any purchases to be made after the expiry of the authority granted by shareholders at the Company's 2023 annual general meeting, will be made subject to shareholder approval of resolution 19. It is the Company's current intention that any shares repurchased under this authority will be held in treasury.

The total number of share options outstanding as at 15 February 2024 was 10,634,384. This figure represents 0.56% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) at that date. If the Company repurchased the maximum number of shares permitted pursuant to resolution 19, the total number of share options outstanding as at 15 February 2024 would represent 0.63% of the adjusted issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares). If approved, the authority contained in resolution 19 will expire at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company (or, if earlier, the close of business on 25 July 2025).

Resolution 20 - Notice period for general meetings

The Company's Articles of Association provide that the notice period for a general meeting of shareholders (other than an annual general meeting) shall (subject to the provisions of the Act) be at least 14 clear days. Under the Act, the notice period for general meetings of a Company has been extended to at least

21 clear days, but with the ability for companies to reduce this period to not less than 14 clear days (other than for an annual general meeting) provided that certain conditions are met.

The first condition, which the Company already meets, is that there is a facility, offered by the Company and accessible to all shareholders, to appoint proxies by means of a website. The second condition is that the Company submits a resolution to shareholders seeking approval to reduce the notice period from at least 21 clear days to not less than 14 clear days. Resolution 20 seeks such approval.

It is intended that the shorter notice period would not be used as a matter of routine, but only where the Directors believe that the business of a particular meeting merits a 14 clear days' notice period, and it is considered to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole. If approved by shareholders, the authority contained in resolution 20 will apply until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Notes to the Notice of Meeting

Registered shareholders and shareholders holding their shares through CREST

Proxy appointment

  1. Shareholders are entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise any or all of their rights to attend, speak and to vote at the AGM. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of
    the Company. A proxy may only be appointed:
    1. by completion and return of the Proxy Form enclosed with the Notice;
    2. online at www.sharevote.co.uk. You will need your personal Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number shown on your Proxy Form. Alternatively, if you have already registered with the Company's Registrars' online portfolio service, you can submit your proxy instruction at www.shareview.co.uk;
    3. via the CREST electronic proxy appointment service, as described in paragraphs 9-12 below; or
    4. via the Proximity platform as described in paragraph 13 below.
  2. To be valid, any completed Proxy Form must be returned, and any online or electronic proxy appointment must be transmitted so as to be received by the Company's Registrar no later than 9.30 am on Tuesday, 23 April 2024 (or no later than two business days before the time appointed for any adjourned meeting).
  3. The return of a completed Proxy Form, other such instrument or any CREST or Proximity Proxy Instruction (as described in paragraphs 9-13 below) will not prevent a shareholder attending the AGM and voting in person if he/she wishes
    to do so.

Nominated persons

  1. Any person to whom the Notice is sent who is a person nominated under Section 146 of the Companies Act 2006 to enjoy information rights (a Nominated Person) may, under an agreement between him/her and the shareholder by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights.
  2. The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies in paragraphs 1 and 3 above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in those paragraphs can only be exercised by shareholders of the Company.

Corporate representatives

6. Any corporate shareholder can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member provided that if two or more representatives purport to vote in respect of the same shares:

  • if they purport to exercise the power in the same way as each other, the power is treated as exercised in that way; and
  • in other cases, the power is treated as not exercised.

Right to vote at the AGM

7. To be entitled to vote at the AGM (and for the purpose of the determination by the Company of the votes that may be cast), shareholders must be registered in the Registers of Members of the Company at 6.30 pm on Tuesday, 23 April 2024 (or if the Meeting is adjourned, in the Register of Members at 6.30 pm two business days before the date of any adjourned meeting). Changes to the Register of Members after the relevant deadline shall be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to vote at the AGM.

Total voting rights

8. As at 15 February 2024 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of the Notice) the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) consisted of 1,882,791,635 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. Therefore, the total number of voting rights in the Company as at 15 February 2024 was 1,882,791,635.

CREST members

  1. CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual (www.euroclear.com). CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.
  2. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland
    Limited specifications, and must contain the information required for such instruction, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or is an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (CREST ID RA19) no later than 9.30 am on Tuesday, 23 April 2024 (or no later than two business days before the time appointed for any adjourned meeting). For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the timestamp applied to the message
    by the CREST Application Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.
