NEW YORK, NY -- Thomson Reuters (NYSE, TSX: TRI), the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced it is set to join the broad-market Russell 3000® Index on June 25, 2010, as part of an annual reconstitution of Russell’s U.S. and global equity indexes. A preliminary list of additions including Thomson Reuters was first announced on June 11, 2010 on http://www.russell.com.

Russell indexes are widely used by investment managers and institutional investors for index funds and as benchmarks for both passive and active investment strategies. Russell determines membership for its equity indexes, which remains in place for one year, primarily by objective, market-capitalization rankings and style attributes. Thomson Reuters expects that inclusion in the Russell 3000 will also result in inclusion in the large-cap Russell 1000® Index.  

“We are glad that Thomson Reuters has been chosen to join the Russell 3000 Index, one of the most prestigious stock market indexes in the U.S.,” said Robert D. Daleo, executive vice president and chief financial officer, Thomson Reuters. “Our membership in the Russell 3000 Index will continue to raise the awareness of the company to a wider range of institutions and investors. Our joining the index represents another milestone in solidifying the progress we have made in the integration of the two companies over the past two years.”
