Share buyback transaction details February 24-March 2, 2022

Wolters Kluwer today reports that it has repurchased 639,805 of its own ordinary shares in the period from February 24, 2022, up to and including March 2, 2022, for €56.7 million and at an average share price of €88.67. Included is a block trade of 522,954 ordinary shares for €46.1 million at a Volume Weighted Average Price of €88.09, executed on February 24, 2022, to offset the dilution caused by the annual issuance of performance shares.

These repurchases are part of the share buyback program announced on February 23, 2022, under which we intend to repurchase shares for up to €600 million during 2022.

The cumulative amounts repurchased to date under this program are as follows:

Share Buyback 2022

Period Cumulative shares repurchased in period Total consideration (€ million) Average share price (€)
2022 to date 1,187,824 106.7 89.86

For the period starting February 25, 2022, up to and including May 2, 2022, we have engaged a third party to execute €120 million of buybacks on our behalf, within the limits of relevant laws and regulations (in particular Regulation (EU) 596/2014) and the company’s Articles of Association.

Repurchased shares are added to and held as treasury shares and will be used for capital reduction purposes or to meet obligations arising from share-based incentive plans.
