Dear Shareholder,

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING - 2015

I have pleasure in inviting you to the Company's 2015 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held on Friday 22 May 2015 at 9.00 am on the Lower Ground Floor, The Mondrian London, 20 Upper Ground, London SE1 9PD. The formal notice convening the AGM (the Notice of Meeting) is on pages 3 to 6 of this document which sets out the business to be considered at the meeting.

On 30 May 2014, the Informa group of companies completed a re-domiciliation from Jersey to the UK, by means of a scheme of arrangement under Article 125 of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 (the Scheme), pursuant to which the Company became the new parent company of the Group, replacing Jersey-incorporated Informa plc (Old Informa).

The Scheme has not resulted in any significant changes in the day-to-day conduct of the businesses of Informa, its strategy or its dividend policy. The Company continued to have the same Board and management team as Old Informa on the date that the Scheme became effective, and the implementation of the Scheme did not result in any material changes to corporate governance or existing investor protections which applied in relation to Informa.

This first AGM of the Company provides an opportunity for your Directors to meet with you, provide our thoughts on the development of the Company and answer your questions. Accordingly, we encourage shareholders to attend the meeting.

If you would like to vote on the resolutions but are unable to attend, please complete your Form of Proxy sent to you with this Notice of Meeting and return it to be received as soon as possible and by no later than 9.00 am on 20 May 2015. Alternatively, shareholders may register the appointment of a proxy electronically by logging on to the website www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. Electronic proxy appointments must also be lodged no later than 9.00 am on 20 May 2015.

Further information on the various ways you can appoint a proxy is given in the Shareholder Notes on pages 7 to 8.

Please note that if you complete and return a Form of Proxy, you may still attend, speak and vote at the meeting in person.

We will take all resolutions on a poll vote. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for every share held. The results of the voting will be posted on the Company's website after the meeting and notified to the London Stock Exchange.

There are 19 resolutions proposed this year. Explanatory notes for each proposed resolution are contained in Part II of the enclosed Notice of Meeting.

Your Directors consider the resolutions proposed to be in the best interests of shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend shareholders to vote in favour of them all, as they intend to do in respect of their own shareholdings.

The other Directors and I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the meeting and thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely,

Derek Mapp

Chairman

Part II

EXPLANATORY NOTES ON RESOLUTIONS

Resolution 1 - Annual Report and Accounts

For each financial year, the Directors must present the report of the Directors and the accounts of the Company to shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. The report of the Directors, the accounts and the report of the Company's auditor on the accounts and on those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report that are capable of being audited are contained within the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2014.

Resolution 2 - Final Dividend

This resolution seeks shareholder approval for a final dividend of 12.9 pence per share for the year ended 31 December 2014, which is recommended by your Board. If approved, the final dividend will be paid on 28 May 2015 to those shareholders on the register at the close of business on 1 May 2015.

Resolution 3 and 4 - Directors' Remuneration Report

Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval for the Remuneration Policy, which forms the first part of the Directors' Remuneration Report, contained within the Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements 2014. This vote is binding which means that since the Remuneration Policy is approved, the Company will not be able to make a remuneration payment to a current or prospective Director or a payment for loss of office to a current or past Director, unless that payment is consistent with the policy or has been approved by a resolution of the members of the Company. The Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders at the 2014 AGM of Old Informa. Following the scheme of arrangement and re-domiciliation we are required to put the Remuneration Policy to shareholders of Informa PLC in 2015. There have been no changes to last year's Remuneration Policy, except for the introduction of malus and clawback provisions for the Executive Directors' remuneration packages.

Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval for the Directors' implementation report, which forms the second part of the Directors' Remuneration Report contained within the Company's Annual Report and Financial Statements 2014. This vote is advisory and the Directors' entitlement to remuneration is not conditional upon it.

The Directors' Remuneration Report can be found on pages 90 to 107 of the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2014. The Company's auditor, Deloitte LLP, have audited those parts of the Directors' Remuneration Report required to be audited.

Resolutions 5 to 12 - Election and Re-election of Directors

These resolutions seek the election and re-election of the Company's Directors. Resolution 5 is to elect Gareth Wright, who is standing for election by the shareholders for the first time, in accordance with the Articles of Association.

The UK Corporate Governance Code recommends that Directors should seek re-election by shareholders annually and accordingly, all Directors (save for Gareth Wright) are standing for re-election to the Board (Resolutions 6-12). The re-election of Directors will take effect at the conclusion of the meeting. Each of the Directors standing for re-election has undergone a performance evaluation and has demonstrated that he or she remains committed to the role and continues to be an effective and valuable member of the Board. At this year's AGM, John Davis will have served more than nine years on the Board. As part of

the Nomination Committee's annual review of Board members in 2014, the Committee particularly reviewed John Davis' independence. In the light of his constructive but challenging engagement at Board and Committee meetings, and taking into account the changes in the Executive Directors in 2014, the Committee determined that he was still independent, notwithstanding the length of his tenure. Accordingly, the Board is content that each Non-Executive Director offering themselves for re-election is independent and there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect their character or judgement.

The Board comprises eight Directors, consisting of the Chairman, two Executive Directors and five Non-Executive Directors, whose experience and expertise are derived from a range of industries and sectors providing an invaluable perspective on the Company's business. Biographical details for each Director can be found in the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2014 on pages 70 and 71 and at www.informa.com.

Resolutions 13 and 14 - Re-appointment of auditor and auditor remuneration

The Act requires that auditors are re-appointed at each AGM at which accounts are presented. The Board, on the unanimous recommendation of the Audit Committee, which has evaluated the effectiveness and independence of the external auditor, is proposing the re-appointment of Deloitte LLP.

Resolution 15 - Authority to make political donations

The Company's policy is not to make donations to any political parties or independent election candidates or for any political purpose. The Act requires companies to obtain shareholder consent before they can make donations to a political party, other political organisation or an independent election candidate, or incur any political expenditure. The definition of political donations used in the Act is very broad and as a result could inadvertently catch legitimate activities, such as policy review, law reform and the representation of the business community and special interest groups (such as those concerned with the environment) which the Company may wish to support. These activities are not designed to support any political party nor to influence public support for a particular party. The authority being sought is a precautionary measure to ensure the Company and its subsidiaries do not inadvertently breach the Act.

Resolution 16 - Authority to allot shares

Under the Act, the Company's Directors may only allot shares or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares if authorised to do so by the shareholders in General Meeting. Accordingly, this resolution seeks to grant an authority under section 551 of the Act to authorise the Directors to allot shares in the Company or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert any security into, shares in the Company.

The aggregate nominal value which can be allotted under the authority set out in paragraph (i) of the resolution is limited to £216,313 (representing 216,313,000 ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each), which is approximately one third of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at 16 April 2015 (being the latest practicable date before publication of this Notice of Meeting). In accordance with guidance issued by the Association of British Insurers, the authority in paragraph (ii) of the resolution will authorise the Directors to allot shares, or to grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares, only in connection with a fully preemptive rights issue, up to a further nominal value of

Informa PLC Notice of Annual General Meeting 2015

---

£216,313 (representing 216,313,000 ordinary shares). This amount (together with the authority provided under paragraph (i) of the resolution) represents approximately two-thirds of the issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at 16 April 2015. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no shares are held by the Company in treasury. The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority.

Resolution 17 - Disapplication of pre-emption rights

Under section 561(1) of the Act, if the Directors wish to allot ordinary shares, or grant rights to subscribe for, or convert securities into, ordinary shares, or sell treasury shares for cash (other than pursuant to an employee share scheme), they must in the first instance offer them to existing shareholders in proportion to their holdings. There may be occasions, however, when the Directors need the flexibility to finance business opportunities by the issue of shares or the sale of treasury shares for cash without a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders. This cannot be done under the Act unless the shareholders have first waived their pre-emption rights. Resolution 17, to be proposed as a special resolution, asks the shareholders to do this and, apart from rights issues or any other pre-emptive offer concerning equity securities, the authority contained in this resolution will be limited to the issue of shares for cash up to an aggregate nominal value of £32,447 (which includes the sale on a non pre-emptive basis of any shares held in treasury), which represents approximately 5% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital as at 16 April 2015 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Meeting). In accordance with The Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles, the Directors confirm their intention that no more than 7.5% of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) will be issued for cash on a non pre-emptive basis during any rolling three-year period.

This resolution also seeks a disapplication of the pre-emption rights on a rights issue, so as to allow the Directors to make exclusions or such other arrangements as may be appropriate to resolve legal or practical problems which, for example, might arise with overseas shareholders.

Resolution 18 - Authority to purchase own shares

This resolution, which will be proposed as a special resolution authorises the Company to make market purchases of its own ordinary shares as permitted by the Act. The Board seeks authority to purchase up to 10% of the Company's issued ordinary shares (excluding any treasury shares), should market conditions and price justify such action.

The Directors only intend to use this authority to make such purchases if to do so could be expected to lead to an increase in net asset value per share for the remaining shareholders and would be in the best interests of shareholders generally, having due regard to appropriate gearing levels, alternative investment opportunities and the overall financial position of the Company. The minimum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for an ordinary share, is 0.1 pence. The maximum price, exclusive of expenses, which may be paid for an ordinary share is the highest of (i) an amount equal to 5% above the average market value for an ordinary share for the five business days immediately preceding the date of the purchase and (ii) the higher of the price of the last independent trade and the highest current independent bid on the exchange where the purchase is carried out.

Any purchases of ordinary shares would be by means of market purchases through the London Stock Exchange. Any shares purchased under this authority may either be cancelled or held as treasury shares by the Company. Treasury shares may subsequently be cancelled, sold for cash or used to satisfy options issued to employees pursuant to the Company's employee share schemes.

As at 16 April 2015 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Meeting), employee share options were outstanding over 2,520,228 ordinary shares, representing approximately 0.388% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares). If the proposed market purchase authority were used in full, these purchases would represent approximately 0.432% of the Company's issued ordinary share capital (excluding treasury shares).

Resolution 19

The Act requires listed companies to call General Meetings on at least 21 clear days' notice unless shareholders have approved the calling of General Meetings at shorter notice, which cannot, however, be less than 14 clear days. The 14-day notice period would only be used in exceptional circumstances where the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and is thought to be to the advantage of shareholders as a whole, and noting the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2012. The Company offers the facility of all shareholders to vote by electronic means. This is accessible to all shareholders and would be available if the Company was to call a meeting on 14 clear days' notice. The Company also provides the ability to appoint proxies electronically through CREST and shareholders can vote online via www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy.

Shareholder Notes

Shareholders' rights to attend, speak and vote at the AGM

Only those ordinary shareholders registered in the register of members of the Company at 6.00 pm on 20 May 2015 shall be entitled to attend or vote at the AGM in respect of the number of shares registered in their name at that time. If the meeting is adjourned, the Company specifies that only shareholders entered on the Company's register of members not later than 6.00 pm on the day two days prior to the reconvened meeting shall be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. Changes to the register of members after the relevant deadline will be disregarded in determining the rights of any person to attend and vote.

Any shareholder attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company must provide an answer to any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if (i) to do so would interfere unduly with the business of the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information, (ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question, or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.

Shareholders' rights to appoint a proxy

Members are entitled to appoint one or more proxies to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and to speak and vote on their behalf at the meeting. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. A shareholder may appoint more than one proxy in relation to the AGM provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different share or shares held by that member. A shareholder appointing more than one proxy should indicate the number of shares for which each proxy is authorised to act on his or her behalf.

A Form of Proxy which may be used to make such appointment and give proxy instructions accompanies this Notice of Meeting. If you do not have a Form of Proxy and believe that you should have one, or if you require additional forms, please contact the Company's Registrar, Computershare on 0870 707 1679. (Calls to this number cost 10p per minute from a BT landline. Other providers' costs may vary. Lines are open from 8.30 am to 5.30 pm, Monday to Friday). You can only appoint a proxy using the procedures set out in these notes and the notes to the Form of Proxy.

To be valid, any Form of Proxy, and the original (or a certified true copy) of any power of attorney or other authority under which the Form of Proxy is signed must be deposited at the offices of the Company's Registrar, whose address is shown on the enclosed reply paid envelope, no later than 9.00 am on 20 May 2015.

Alternatively, shareholders may register the appointment of a proxy electronically by logging on to the website www.investorcentre.co.uk/eproxy. Full details of the procedure are given on that website. Electronic proxy appointments must be received by Computershare no later than 9.00 am on 20 May 2015.

A proxy appointment made electronically will not be valid if sent to any address other than those provided or if received after 9.00 am on 20 May 2015. Please note that any electronic communication found to contain a computer virus will not be accepted.

You may not use any electronic address provided either in this Notice of Meeting or any related documents (including the Form of Proxy) to communicate with the Company for any purposes other than those expressly stated.

The return of a completed Form of Proxy, other such instrument or any CREST Proxy Instruction will not prevent a member attending the AGM and voting in person if he/she wishes to do so.

Indirect Investors

Any person to whom this Notice of Meeting is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the Act to enjoy information rights (a Nominated Person) may, under an agreement between him/her and the member by whom he/she was nominated, have a right to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the AGM. If a Nominated Person has no such proxy appointment right or does not wish to exercise it, he/she may, under any such agreement, have a right to give instructions to the member as to the exercise of voting rights. The statement of the rights of shareholders in relation to the appointment of proxies above does not apply to Nominated Persons. The rights described in those paragraphs can only be exercised by shareholders of the Company.

CREST

CREST members who wish to appoint a proxy or proxies through the CREST electronic proxy appointment service may do so for the AGM to be held on 22 May 2015 and any adjournment(s) thereof by using the procedures described in the CREST Manual which can be viewed at www.euroclear.com/CREST. CREST Personal Members or other CREST sponsored members, and those CREST members who have appointed a voting service provider(s), should refer to their CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s), who will be able to take the appropriate action on their behalf.

In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a CREST Proxy Instruction) must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK & Ireland Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual available via www.euroclear.com/CREST. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by the issuer's agent (ID 3RASO) by the latest time(s) for receipt of proxy appointments specified in the Notice of Meeting.

For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which the issuer's agent is able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed by CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers should note that there are no special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations will, therefore, apply in relation to the input of CREST Proxy Instructions. It is the responsibility of the CREST member concerned to take (or, if the CREST member is a CREST personal member or sponsored member or has appointed a voting service provider(s), to

procure that his CREST sponsor or voting service provider(s) take(s)) such action as shall be necessary to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. In this regard, CREST members and, where applicable, their CREST sponsors or voting service providers are referred, in particular, to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

The Company may treat as invalid a CREST Proxy Instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5)(a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

Corporate Representatives

Any corporation which is a member can appoint one or more corporate representatives who may exercise on its behalf all of its powers as a member, provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares.

Website publication of audit concerns

Under section 527 of the Act, shareholders meeting the threshold requirements set out in that section have the right to require the Company to publish on a website a statement setting out any matter relating to: (i) the audit of the Company's accounts (including the auditor's report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the AGM; or (ii) any circumstance connected with an auditor of the Company ceasing to hold office since the previous meeting at which annual accounts and reports were laid in accordance with section 437 of the Act. The Company may not require the shareholders requesting any such website publication to pay its expenses in complying with sections 527 or 528 of the Act. Where the Company is required to place a statement on a website under section 527 of the Act, it must forward the statement to the Company's auditor not later than the time when it makes the statement available on the website. The business which may be dealt with at the AGM includes any statement that the Company has been required under section 527 of the Act to publish on a website. The Annual Report and Financial Statements 2014 and Notice of Meeting are now available on our website www.informa.com. This notification of availability on our website is not a substitute for reading the Annual Report and Financial Statements 2014 itself.

Total voting rights

As at 16 April 2015 (being the last practicable date prior to the publication of this Notice of Meeting) the Company's issued share capital consisted of 648,941,249 ordinary shares carrying one vote each. The Company does not hold any shares in Treasury. Therefore, the total voting rights in the Company as at 16 April 2015 were 648,941,249.

Voting on a Poll

All resolutions will be put to vote on a poll. On a poll, each shareholder has one vote for every share held. This will result in a more accurate reflection of the views of shareholders by ensuring that every vote is recognised, including the votes of all shareholders who are unable to attend the meeting but who appoint a proxy for the meeting.
