Dealing Disclosure Requirements

Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Takeover Code (the 'Code'), if any

person is, or becomes, 'interested' (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of

any class of 'relevant securities' of The Thomson Corporation ('Thomson') or of

Reuters Group PLC ('Reuters'), all 'dealings' in any 'relevant securities' of

those companies (including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative

referenced to, any such 'relevant securities') must be publicly disclosed by no

later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the London business day following the date

of the relevant transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on

which the offer becomes, or is declared, unconditional, lapses or is otherwise

withdrawn or on which the 'offer period' otherwise ends. If two or more persons

act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or

informal, to acquire an 'interest' in 'relevant securities' of Thomson or

Reuters, they will be deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all 'dealings' in 'relevant

securities' of Thomson or Reuters by Thomson or Reuters, or by any of their

respective 'associates', must be disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London

time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant transaction.

A disclosure table, giving details of the companies in whose 'relevant

securities' 'dealings' should be disclosed, and the number of such securities in

issue, can be found on the Takeover Panel's website at

www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk.

'Interests in securities' arise, in summary, when a person has long economic

exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of

securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an 'interest' by

virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in

respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.

Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can also be found on the

Panel's website. If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you are required

to disclose a 'dealing' under Rule 8, you should consult the Panel.
