Thomson Reuters Shareholders Approve Unification of Dual Listed Company Structure

NEW YORK, NY, August 7, 2009 - Thomson Reuters (NYSE: TRI; TSX: TRI; LSE: TRIL; NASDAQ: TRIN), the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced that its shareholders overwhelmingly approved the proposal to unify its dual listed company (DLC) structure at meetings held in Toronto and London. 

"We are very grateful for the strong support we received for this proposal, as shareholders in the UK, North America and around the world have recognized what a simpler, more efficient and less costly capital structure can do to support our business and the trading of our shares," said Thomas H. Glocer, chief executive officer of Thomson Reuters. "Importantly, the unification will have no impact on the company's operations, strategy, financial position or employees, and London will remain a key center for Thomson Reuters."

On August 25, 2009, Thomson Reuters will seek UK court approval for the proposed unification. If court approval is obtained, the last day of trading in Thomson Reuters PLC ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange and American Depositary Shares (ADSs) on Nasdaq will be on September 9, 2009, and the unification will close on September 10, 2009. A more detailed expected timetable of key dates related to the proposed unification is provided below. 

As a requirement of the DLC structure, Thomson Reuters Corporation and Thomson Reuters PLC shareholders voted separately at today's meetings. Votes were conducted by ballot. The matters set out below are described in greater detail in the management information circular and notices of meeting mailed to shareholders prior to the meetings.
