Publication of Annual Report and Financial Statements 2018

and Notice of 2019 Annual General Meeting

RELX PLC (the “Company”) has today published the following documents on the RELX website www.relx.com.

- Annual Report and Financial Statements 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”);

- Notice of the 2019 Annual General Meeting (the “AGM Notice”) to be held in London on 25 April 2019; and

- Corporate Responsibility Report 2018.

The 2018 Annual Report and the AGM Notice have been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection at www.hemscott.com/nsm.do.

In addition to the routine business set out in the AGM Notice, resolutions are being proposed in connection with the use of part of the merger reserve created through the cross-border merger of RELX PLC and RELX N.V. completed in September 2018. This is to increase the amount of distributable reserves available to the Company for future dividend payments and share buybacks. Approval of these resolutions will not result in any change to the nominal value of the Company’s ordinary shares or their voting rights, will have no impact on the Company’s cash position or on its net assets, will not itself involve any distribution or repayment of capital or share premium by the Company and will not result in any changes to the Company’s existing dividend policy. These resolutions are described in further detail in the AGM Notice.

The Annual Report 2018 on Form 20-F will be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and will also be published on the RELX website later today.

Copies of the 2018 Annual Report are expected to be posted to shareholders on 7 March 2019.

After publication, hard copies of the aforementioned documents may be obtained, free of charge, on request from the Company’s registered office, 1-3 Strand, London WC2N 5JR, or from [e-mail]

The total number of voting rights in RELX PLC’s issued share capital (exclusive of shares held in treasury) is currently 1,962,901,304.
