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

The 2018 Annual Report and the AGM Notice have been submitted to the
National Storage Mechanism and will shortly be available for inspection

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
