Share buyback transaction details February 27–March 5, 2025

Wolters Kluwer today reports that it has repurchased 312,045 of its own ordinary shares in the period from February 27, 2025, up to and including March 5, 2025, for €46.5 million and at an average share price of €148.91. Included is a block trade of 212,991 ordinary shares for €31.9 million at a Volume Weighted Average Price of €149.75 executed on February 27, 2025, to partially offset the dilution caused by the annual issuance of performance shares.

These repurchases are part of the share buyback program announced on February 26, 2025, under which we intend to repurchase shares for up to € 1 billion during 2025.

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

Share Buyback 2025

For the period starting February 28, 2025, up to and including May 5, 2025, we have engaged a third party to execute €155 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.

Shares repurchased are added to and held as treasury shares and will be used for capital reduction purposes through share cancelation.
