Thomson Reuters obtains final approval for shares de-listing

Thomson Reuters announced on Tuesday it has obtained UK court approval to unify its dual listed company structure. Shareholders overwhelmingly approved the unification on 7 August and no additional approvals are required.

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 9 September, and the unification will close on 10 September. Thomson Reuters Corporation common shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange.

On 10 September former Thomson Reuters PLC shareholders who receive Depository Interests representing entitlements to common shares will be able to convert them into those shares by calling Computershare in Canada and the United States at +1 877 624 5999 or by sending an e-mail to globaltransactionteam@computershare.com. In the United Kingdom and elsewhere outside Canada and the United States call +44 870 702 0003 extension 1075, or send an e-mail to allukglobaltransactionteam@computershare.co.uk. Thomson Reuters will pay all applicable conversion fees between 10 September and 10 December 10. Additional information about the Depository Interests 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 14 September.

Holders of Thomson Reuters shares as of 21 August are entitled to receive a dividend of 28 cents per share on 15 September. Due to the timing of the closing of the unification, Thomson Reuters PLC shareholders who previously enrolled in the company's dividend reinvestment plan will receive this dividend in cash. Enrollment information for the Thomson Reuters Corporation plan is available in the Investor Relations section of www.thomsonreuters.com. ■
