<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><strong><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">STAMFORD, Conn.,
LONDON, October 8, 2007 &#151; </font></b></strong><strong><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:normal;">The </font></b></strong><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Thomson
Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC), and Reuters </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(LSE: RTR, NASDAQ: RTRSY) </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">today provided an update on
the ongoing European and U.S. regulatory processes related to Thomson&#146;s proposed
acquisition of Reuters.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The European Commission (EC)
has informed the two companies that it will proceed to a Phase 2 review of the
proposed transaction to give it more time to examine the transaction and its
impact on the competitive environment.&#160;
Competitive conditions in the industry where Thomson Financial and
Reuters operate are complex and constantly evolving.&#160; Both companies will continue to work with the
EC to help narrow and resolve the issues which the EC has indicated require
further review.&#160; The companies currently
anticipate that the Phase 2 review will be completed during the first quarter
of 2008.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In the U.S., the two
companies have signed a timing agreement with the Department of Justice related
to its regulatory review. Under the timing agreement, the Department of Justice
will provide Thomson and Reuters with a decision by January 15, 2008.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Thomson and Reuters also
announced that they have agreed to a technical amendment related to the U.S.
regulatory pre-condition described in their announcement of May 15, 2007.&#160; The purpose of the amendment is to reflect
the actual review procedure being conducted by the Department of Justice and
the companies&#146; original intent in drafting the U.S. regulatory
pre-condition.&#160; For technical reasons
related to the dual listed company (DLC) structure contemplated for Thomson-Reuters,
the transaction is not subject to the filing and waiting period requirements of
the U.S. Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 as had been
contemplated and reflected in the original wording of the U.S. regulatory
pre-condition. As previously announced, the Department of Justice has been
conducting a review of the transaction similar to a Hart-Scott-Rodino review,
as is common for a transaction of this size.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Commenting on these regulatory
developments, Tom Glocer, currently CEO of Reuters and CEO designate of
Thomson-Reuters said, &#147;Today&#146;s developments bring clarity and transparency to
the regulatory timetables on both sides of the Atlantic.&nbsp; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Our
discussions with both sets of regulators have been constructive and have
developed in line with our expectations. Thomson and Reuters remain committed
to </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">working with them through to the end of their investigations.&nbsp; </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Customer
feedback to the proposed transaction has been overwhelmingly positive, and we
are hopeful that we can work with the regulators to expedite the process and
complete the transaction in or around the first quarter of 2008.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Under the provisions of Rule&nbsp;8.3 of the Takeover Code (the&nbsp;&#145;Code&#146;),
if any person is, or becomes, &#145;interested&#146; (directly or indirectly) in 1% or
more of any class of &#145;relevant securities&#146; of Thomson or of Reuters, all &#145;dealings&#146;
in any &#145;relevant securities&#146; of that company (including by means of an option
in respect of, or a derivative referenced to, any such &#145;relevant securities&#146;)
must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30&nbsp;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 Transaction becomes, or
is declared, unconditional, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the &#145;offer
period&#146; otherwise ends. If two or more persons act together pursuant to an
agreement or understanding, whether formal or informal, to acquire an &#145;interest&#146;
in &#145;relevant securities&#146; of Thomson or Reuters, they will be deemed to be a single
person for the purpose of Rule&nbsp;8.3.</font></p>
