Completion of off-market
purchase
Further to its announcement on 6
March 2024, London Stock Exchange Group plc ("LSEG" or the "Company") today announces that it
has completed the off-market purchase of 162,651 voting ordinary
shares and 5,444,527 limited-voting ordinary shares of
679/86 pence each of the Company (the "Off-Market Purchase") in aggregate from York Holdings II
Limited ("York Holdings
II") and York Holdings III Limited ("York Holdings III") (entities owned by
BCP York Holdings (Delaware) L.P. ("BCP York") (an entity owned by a
consortium of certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone
Inc. and including an affiliate of Canada Pension Plan Investment
Board, an affiliate of GIC Special Investments Pte. Ltd. and
certain other co-investors), Thomson Reuters and certain other
minority holders) (BCP York, York Holdings II and York Holdings III
together, the "Consortium"). The
ordinary voting shares purchased by the Company will be held in
treasury and the limited-voting ordinary shares will be
cancelled.
Following completion of the
Off-Market Purchase, LSEG confirms that its share capital consists
of: (i) 520,422,421 voting ordinary shares of 679/86
pence each (excluding treasury shares), which carry one vote each;
and (ii) 15,179,384 limited-voting ordinary shares of
679/86 pence each, which carry one-tenth of a vote each.
LSEG holds 7,795,384 of its voting ordinary shares in treasury.
Therefore, the total number of voting rights in LSEG on 8 March
2024 is 521,940,359. This figure for the total number of
voting rights may be used by shareholders (and others with
notification obligations) as the denominator for the calculation by
which they will determine if they are required to notify their
interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under
the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules. As previously
indicated by the Company, the Company expects to execute up to £1
billion of share buybacks during 2024.
