Closing and settlement information provided for shareholders

NEW YORK, NY, August 25, 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 it has obtained UK court approval to unify its dual listed company (DLC) structure. Thomson Reuters shareholders overwhelmingly approved the unification earlier this month, and there are no additional approvals required for closing.

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. Thomson Reuters Corporation common shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “TRI”.

Type of Shareholder	Unification Consideration
Thomson Reuters PLC ordinary shareholders	Each ordinary share will be exchanged for one Thomson Reuters Corporation common share. To facilitate the holding of shares in the UK through CREST (the UK electronic settlement system), Thomson Reuters PLC shareholders will receive Depository Interests (DIs). DIs represent entitlements to common shares and have the same voting and economic interests as common shares. However, DIs are not traded on the TSX or NYSE.
Thomson Reuters PLC ADS holders	Each ADS will be exchanged for six Thomson Reuters Corporation common shares.
Thomson Reuters Corporation common shareholders	No change to existing shares.

Effective September 10, 2009, former Thomson Reuters PLC shareholders who receive DIs will be able to convert their DIs into common shares by contacting Computershare in Canada and the United States by phone at 1.877.624.5999 or by e-mail at globaltransactionteam@computershare.com, and in the United Kingdom and elsewhere outside of Canada/United States by phone at 44.870.702.0003, ext. 1075, or by e-mail at allukglobaltransactionteam@computershare.co.uk. Thomson Reuters will pay all applicable conversion fees between September 10, 2009 and December 10, 2009. Additional information about the DIs is available in the “Investor Relations” section of www.thomsonreuters.com.

Thomson Reuters expects settlement of newly-issued common shares and DIs to occur on or about September 14, 2009.
