Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific details of the "Transactions in own shares" referenced in Exhibit 99, as the summary text does not quantify the volume or price of these transactions.
- Confirm the company's current name status, as the filing lists "Reed Elsevier PLC" while the metadata indicates "RELX PLC" (the name change occurred later in 2015).
- Review the company's Form 20-F for the most recent audited financial statements, as this 6-K does not contain financial data.
