LSEG intends to hold the purchased shares in treasury.
Following the above transaction, LSEG holds 3,147,289 of its voting ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each in treasury and has 503,972,358 voting ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each in issue (excluding treasury shares). LSEG also has 51,124,377 limited-voting ordinary shares of 679/86 pence each in issue, which carry one-tenth of a vote each. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company will be 509,084,796.

These purchases are the last purchases to be made under the irrevocable programme between LSEG, on the one hand, and GSI, on the other hand, announced on 5 August 2022, and the programme has been completed in accordance with its terms.
