Conn., February&nbsp;29, 2008 </font></b></strong><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#151; The Thomson Corporation (NYSE: TOC; TSX: TOC), a leading provider of
information solutions to business and professional customers worldwide, has
filed an information circular for its upcoming shareholders meeting to approve
the Reuters acquisition. The shareholders meeting will be held on March&nbsp;26,
2008 at 10:00&nbsp;a.m. (ET) at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto, Canada. Separately
today, Reuters filed a circular for its own shareholder meetings to be held on March&nbsp;26,
2008 in London to approve the transaction. Thomson&#146;s acquisition of Reuters is
expected to close on April&nbsp;17, 2008, and the transaction has received all
required antitrust/regulatory clearances.</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 have historically paid
dividends to their shareholders at different times of the year, and in
different amounts. To align the timing and amount of future dividend payments
to Thomson Reuters shareholders, an interim dividend of $0.31747 per share will
be paid on May&nbsp;1, 2008 to Thomson common shareholders of record on April&nbsp;16,
2008. The interim dividend is based on Thomson&#146;s previously announced 2008
quarterly dividend rate of $0.27 per share (or $1.08 per share for the year)
and covers the period from January&nbsp;1, 2008 through April&nbsp;16, 2008.
The payment of the interim dividend in May&nbsp;will result in Thomson
Reuters&nbsp;not paying a dividend in June&nbsp;2008, as has been Thomson&#146;s past
practice, and regularly scheduled&nbsp;dividend payments will resume in September&nbsp;2008
($0.22253 per share) and in December&nbsp;2008 ($0.27 per share).</font></p>

will continue until the date on which the acquisition of Reuters 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declared, unconditional, lapses or is otherwise withdrawn or on which the &#145;offer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;

assumptions and reflect the Corporation&#146;s current expectations. Forward-looking
statements include statements about its beliefs that the Reuters acquisition
will be approved and close on April&nbsp;17, 2008.&#160; The closing of the transaction is subject to
approval by Thomson and Reuters shareholders as well as courts in Ontario,
Canada and the United Kingdom. The declaration of dividends and the amount of
those dividends may be adjusted or eliminated at any time at the discretion of
the Thomson Board (or, following the closing of the transaction, the Thomson
Reuters Board). All forward-looking statements in this news release are subject
to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or
events to differ materially from current expectations. These risks and
uncertainties include the failure of Reuters shareholders or the courts to
approve the proposed transaction; the reaction of Thomson&#146;s and Reuters&#146;
customers, employees and suppliers to the proposed transaction; the ability to
promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Thomson and Reuters after
the transaction closes; and the diversion of management time on
transaction-related issues. Some of the other factors that could cause actual
results or events to differ materially from current expectations are actions of
competitors; failure to fully derive anticipated benefits from acquisitions and
divestitures; failure to develop additional products and services to meet
customers&#146; needs, attract new customers or expand into new geographic markets;
and changes in the general economy. Additional factors are discussed in the
Corporation&#146;s materials filed with the securities regulatory authorities in
Canada and the United States from time to time, including the Corporation&#146;s
management information circular dated February&nbsp;29, 2008 for the special
meeting of shareholders to be held on March&nbsp;26, 2008, and its latest
annual information form, which is also contained in its most recently filed
annual report on Form&nbsp;40-F.<b>  </b>The
Corporation disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise, other than as required by applicable law, rule&nbsp;or
regulation.</font></p>
