In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</p></div><div style="clear:both;display:table;margin-bottom:30pt;min-height:18pt;width:100%;"><div style="display:table-cell;vertical-align:bottom;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;text-align:center;margin:0pt;">4</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div></div></div><hr style="background-color:#000000;clear:both;color:#000000;height:2pt;line-height:0;margin-bottom:30pt;margin-left:8.82%;margin-right:8.82%;margin-top:30pt;page-break-after:always;width:82.35%;border-width:0;"><div style="max-width:100%;padding-left:8.82%;padding-right:8.82%;position:relative;"><div style="margin-top:30pt;width:100%;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt;"><font style="visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p></div><div style="clear:both;max-width:100%;position:relative;"><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">SIGNATURES</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;text-indent:54pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, United States of America on June 7, 2023.</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 252pt;"><b style="font-weight:bold;">RELX PLC</b></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 252pt;"><font style="margin-left:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 252pt;">By:<font style="display:inline-block;width:14pt;"></font><u style="text-decoration-color:#000000;text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:solid;">/s/ Erik Engstrom</u><u style="text-decoration-color:#000000;text-decoration-line:underline;text-decoration-style:solid;"><u style="display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;position:relative;text-align:justify;text-align-last:justify;text-decoration:underline;text-indent:0pt;vertical-align:bottom;white-space:normal;width:125.5pt;">&#8203; &#8203;<font style="display:inline-block;height:0pt;width:100%;"></font></u></u></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 252pt;"><font style="display:inline-block;width:27pt;"></font>Erik Engstrom</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 252pt;"><font style="display:inline-block;width:27pt;"></font>Chief Executive Officer</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 252pt;"><font style="margin-left:0pt;visibility:hidden;">&#8203;</font></p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;text-align:center;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><a name="PoA"></a>POWER OF ATTORNEY</p><p style="font-family:'Times New Roman','Times','serif';font-size:9pt;text-indent:54pt;margin:0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;">KNOW ALL PERSONS BY THESE PRESENTS, that each person whose signature appears below constitutes and appoints Henry A.

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3.
Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
RELX PLC hereby incorporates by reference in this Registration Statement the following documents, which are on file with the Commission:
(a)
The Annual Report of RELX PLC on Form 20-F filed pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2023;
(b)
All reports filed by RELX PLC pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since December 31, 2022; and
(c)
The description of the share capital of RELX PLC contained in the registration statement of RELX PLC on Form F-4, Registration No. 333-223157, filed with the Commission under the Securities Act on February 22, 2018 (as amended, including any additional amendments or reports filed for purposes of updating such description).
In addition, to the extent designated therein, certain reports on Form 6-K and all documents filed by RELX PLC pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement indicating that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such documents; provided, that any report on Form 6-K shall be so deemed incorporated by reference only if and to the extent indicated in such report.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Except as hereinafter set forth, there is no provision of the memorandum and articles of association of RELX PLC or any contract, arrangement or statute under which any director or officer of RELX PLC is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability that he or she may incur in his or her capacity as such.
Article 225 of RELX PLC's Articles of Association provides:
"Subject to the provisions of the Companies Acts, but without prejudice to any indemnity to which the person concerned may otherwise be entitled, every director or other officer of the Company (other than any person (whether an officer or not) engaged by the
1
​
​
Company as auditor) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability incurred by him for negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the affairs of the Company, provided that this Article shall be deemed not to provide for, or entitle any such person to, indemnification to the extent that it would cause this Article, or any element of it, to be treated as void under the Act or otherwise under the Companies Acts."
Section 232 of the Companies Act 2006 provides as follows:
Any provision that purports to exempt a director of a company (to any extent) from any liability that would otherwise attach to him in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company is void.
Any provision by which a company directly or indirectly provides an indemnity (to any extent) for a director of the company, or of an associated company, against any liability attaching to him in connection with any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust in relation to the company of which he is a director is void, except as permitted by:
(a)
purchasing and maintaining for a director of the company insurance against any such liability,
(b)
from indemnifying the director against liability incurred by the director to a person other than the company or an associated company (a "qualifying third party indemnity provision"), or
(c)
from indemnifying a director of a company that is a trustee of an occupational pension scheme against liability incurred in connection with the company's activities as trustee of the scheme (a "qualifying pension scheme indemnity provision").
This section applies to any provision, whether contained in a company's articles or in any contract with the company or otherwise. Nothing in this section prevents a company's articles from making such provision as has previously been lawful for dealing with conflicts of interest.
RELX PLC has entered into a deed of indemnity with each of its directors, providing for the indemnification of, and advancement of defence costs to, such persons, to the fullest extent permitted by RELX PLC's Articles of Association and the Companies Act 2006.
In addition, RELX PLC has obtained directors' and officers' insurance coverage that, subject to policy terms and limitations, includes coverage to reimburse RELX PLC for amounts that it may be required or permitted by law to pay directors or officers.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3
​
​
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
