Thomson Reuters Announces Voting Results of

Return of Capital and Share Consolidation Transactions

Toronto, April 28, 2026 – Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI) today announced the voting results for its proposed return of capital and share consolidation transactions at its special meeting of shareholders held in-person today.

Shareholders approved a plan of arrangement to implement the company’s proposed return of capital and share consolidation transactions. A final report on voting results will be filed by the company with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities and furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As described in the company’s management proxy circular dated March 13, 2026 (the “Circular”), the return of capital and share consolidation transactions consist of a special cash distribution of US$605 million in the aggregate, or approximately US$1.36 per common share (estimated based on the number of common shares issued and outstanding as of the record date for the special meeting and assuming no shareholders opt-out of the return of capital), and a consolidation of the company’s outstanding common shares (or “reverse stock split”) on a basis that is proportional to the special cash distribution.

Timeline/Next Steps

The plan of arrangement for the return of capital and share consolidation transactions is subject to final approval by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice as well as the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and the Nasdaq. The Court hearing for a final order to approve the plan of arrangement is scheduled to take place on April 29, 2026.

If those final approvals are received:

 

   

Thomson Reuters will determine the actual cash distribution per share and the share consolidation ratio after 4:00pm (Toronto time) on May 1, 2026 based on the number of participating shares, and will issue a news release later that day with applicable information to shareholders;

 

   

The plan of arrangement will become effective at 3:01 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 4, 2026, and the post-consolidation shares are expected to begin trading on the TSX and Nasdaq under a new CUSIP when markets open that day;

 

   

As promptly as practicable after the transactions are effective, the company’s depositary for the transactions (Computershare Investor Services Inc.) will deliver cash distribution amounts to registered participating shareholders, subject to the terms and conditions of the transactions. The effects of the share consolidation will be reflected in the company’s share register. Beneficial or non-registered shareholders participating in the return of capital will receive cash distributions from their intermediary and the effects of the share consolidation will be recorded in their accounts; and

 

   

Eligible shareholders who duly exercised their right to opt out of the return of capital will not receive the cash distribution. Each opting-out shareholder will still participate in the transactions through a share exchange and the share consolidation but will continue to hold the same number of shares that it currently holds. Such opting-out shareholders will realize a proportionate increase in their equity and voting interests in the company by virtue of the consolidation of the participating shares under the share consolidation. The opt-out deadline for registered shareholders passed yesterday.
