17 April 2008

       Thomson Reuters PLC - Announcement that the Scheme of Arrangement 
                             has Become Effective

The order made by the High Court on 16 April 2008 sanctioning the scheme of
arrangement (the Scheme) to effect the acquisition of Reuters Group PLC has
today been delivered to and registered by the Registrar of Companies.
Accordingly, the Scheme has today become effective in accordance with its terms.

Reuters Group PLC shareholders are advised that as valid elections received for
the Loan Note Option amounted to less than £20 million in aggregate nominal
value of Loan Notes, the minimum level of elections required under the terms of
the Offer, no Loan Notes will be issued. Shareholders validly electing for the
Loan Note Option will therefore receive cash in accordance with the terms of the
offer.

Dealings in Reuters Shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed
securities and the list of the Reuters Shares on the Official List have been
cancelled at Reuters request, with effect from 8.00 a.m. today. Dealings on the
London Stock Exchange in Thomson Reuters PLC ordinary shares commenced at 8.00
a.m. today and dealings in Thomson Reuters ADSs will begin at 9.30 a.m. (Eastern
Time).

CREST accounts were credited with Thomson Reuters PLC shares at 8.00 a.m. today.
The latest date for despatch of cheques and share certificates and settlement
through CREST in respect of the consideration due under the Scheme is 1 May
2008.

It is proposed that the nominal value of each ordinary share of Thomson Reuters
PLC be reduced by 975 pence from £10 to 25 pence. It is currently expected that,
subject to Court approval, such reduction will become effective on 22 April
2008.

Voting and Capital Rights as at 17 April 2008 in accordance with DTR 5.6.

As at 17 April 2008 Thomson Reuters PLC's issued share capital of such class of
share which is admitted to trading consisted of 194,107,278 ordinary shares of
£10 each with voting rights. Thomson Reuters PLC does not hold any ordinary
shares in treasury.

Therefore the total number of voting rights in Thomson Reuters PLC is
194,107,278.

The above figure of 194,107,278 may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify
their interest in, or a change to their interest in, Thomson Reuters PLC under
the FSA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

Capitalised terms used, but not defined, in this announcement have the meaning
given to them in the circular in relation to the Scheme posted to Reuters
Shareholders on 29 February 2008.
