Gold prices steady ahead of Fed decision, Trump’s tariff deadline
LONDON - RELX PLC announced on Thursday a new non-discretionary share buyback programme worth £425 million, to be implemented between July 24 and November 28, 2025.
The programme follows the completion of a £175 million non-discretionary buyback on July 21. Both initiatives are part of the company’s larger £1.5 billion share repurchase plan for 2025, which was initially announced on February 13.
According to the company’s statement, the purpose of the buyback is to reduce RELX’s capital, with purchased shares to be held in treasury. The repurchases will be conducted within parameters established by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on April 24, which permits the company to purchase up to 176.2 million ordinary shares.
RELX has engaged J.P. Morgan Securities plc to manage the programme, with the financial institution making independent trading decisions to acquire shares for subsequent repurchase by the company.
The buyback will be executed in compliance with UK and EU Market Abuse Regulations and Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules, according to the press release statement.
This announcement represents the latest phase in RELX’s ongoing capital return strategy for 2025, with approximately 40% of the total planned buyback amount already completed or committed through the current and recently concluded programmes.
