Special note CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS This presentation includes forward-looking statements, such as Thomson’s and Reuters’ beliefs and expectations regarding the proposed combination of the two businesses. These statements are based on certain assumptions and reflect Thomson’s and Reuters’ current expectations. Forward-looking statements also include statements about Thomson’s and Reuters’ beliefs and expectations related to the proposed transaction structure and consideration, benefits that would be afforded to customers, benefits to the Combined Business that are expected to be obtained as a result of the Transaction, as well as the parties’ ability to enhance shareholder value through, among other things, the delivery of expected synergies. There can be no assurance that the proposed transaction will be consummated or that the anticipated benefits will be realized. The proposed transaction is subject to various regulatory approvals and the fulfillment of certain conditions, and there can be no assurance that any such approvals will be obtained and/or such conditions will be met. All forward-looking statements in this presentation 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 ability to achieve the cost savings and synergies contemplated through the proposed Transaction; the failure of Reuters shareholders to approve the proposed Transaction; the effect of regulatory conditions, if any, imposed by regulatory authorities; the reaction of Thomson’s and Reuters’ customers, employees and suppliers to the proposed transaction; the ability to promptly and effectively integrate the businesses of Thomson and Reuters; and the diversion of management time on proposed Transaction-related issues. Additional factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations are discussed in Thomson’s and Reuters’ respective materials filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States (as the case may be) from time to time including The Thomson Corporation’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 40-F and Reuters Group PLC’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 20-F, each of which has been filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Thomson or Reuters speak only as of the date they are made. Thomson and Reuters each disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This presentation does not constitute an offer for sale of any securities or an offer or an invitation to purchase any such securities. Following satisfaction or waiver of the pre-conditions to the proposed transaction, documents relating to the proposed transaction will be furnished to or filed with the SEC. Shareholders are urged to read such documents regarding the proposed transaction if and when they become available, because they will contain important information. Shareholders will be able to obtain free copies of these documents, as well as other filings containing information about the companies, without charge, at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, at the Canadian securities regulatory authorities’ web site at www.sedar.com (in the case of Thomson) and from Thomson and Reuters. These documents will also be available for inspection and copying at the public reference room maintained by the SEC at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549, US. For further information about the public reference room, call the SEC at +1 800 732 0330. Non-GAAP financial measures (including pro forma financial information) This presentation contains disclosures of certain non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the “Investor Relations” sections of www.thomson.com or www.reuters.com for a reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. Pro forma financial amounts for 2006 included in this presentation are derived from the published financial statements of Thomson Corporation and Reuters Group plc for the year ended 31 December 2006 and the first quarter 2007 results announcement of the Thomson Corporation. Thomson prepares its financial statements under Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ('Canadian GAAP') and Reuters prepares its financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS'). Canadian GAAP and IFRS differ in certain significant respects. For the purposes of this presentation, amounts determined under Canadian GAAP and IFRS have been aggregated without any adjustment for differences in accounting policy or application. Accordingly, pro forma information for the combined business prepared on a consistent basis under either Canadian GAAP or under IFRS could differ significantly from the pro forma information presented herein. In addition this pro forma information does not constitute Pro Forma Financial Information as it is defined in Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Both Thomson and Reuters use 'non-GAAP' measures to provide additional information to shareholders on the performance of their businesses. Amounts included in this presentation for EBITDA, EBITA, free cash flow and net debt are based on the closest similar measures reported by Thomson and Reuters. While certain adjustments have been made to align the measures to the extent possible using public information, there can be no assurance that those measures are in fact comparable.

THE THOMSON CORPORATION RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES TO CORRESPONDING GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES Tuesday, May 15, 2007 Note: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITA, free cash flow and net debt are not defined by, or calculated in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These measures do not have any standardized meanings prescribed by Canadian GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures used by other companies, and should not be viewed as alternatives to measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with Canadian GAAP. The Thomson Corporation Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Segment Profit and Respective Margins December 31, 2006 (Amounts in millions of U.S. Dollars) (Unaudited) Thomson (1) Total Revenues 6,622 Thomson Adjusted EBITDA 1,935 Less: Depreciation (439) Thomson Adjusted EBITA 1,496 Less: Amortization (241) Net other income 1 Net interest expense and other financing costs (221) Income taxes (118) Earnings from continuing operations 917 Earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax 203 Net earnings 1,120 Adjusted EBITDA Margin 29.2% Segment Operating Profit Margin 22.6% (1) Restated from full year 2006 results for the reclassification of three (3) Healthcare businesses to discontinued operations, which occurred in the first quarter of 2007. Note: We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA can provide a more standard comparison among businesses by eliminating the differences that arise between them due to the manner in which they were acquired or funded. These measures can be used as supplemental cash flow metrics as they also exclude depreciation (in the case of Adjusted EBITDA only) and amortization of identifiable intangible assets, which are both non-cash charges. Net other income, which normally includes items such as gains and losses on sales of businesses, is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITA as this item is not considered relevant to operating performance.

The Thomson Corporation Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow December 31, 2006 (Amounts in millions of U.S. Dollars) (Unaudited) Thomson (1) Net cash provided by operating activities 2,125 Less Cash provided by operating activities- discontinued operations (560) Capital expenditures, less proceeds from disposals (453) Other investing activities (26) Dividends paid on preference shares (5) Free Cash Flow 1,081 (1) Restated from full year 2006 results for the reclassification of three (3) Healthcare businesses to discontinued operations, which occurred in the first quarter of 2007. Note: Thomson uses free cash flow as a performance measure because it represents cash available to repay debt, pay common dividends and fund new acquisitions.

The Thomson Corporation Reconciliation to Net Debt December 31, 2006 (Amounts in millions of U.S. Dollars) (Unaudited) Thomson (1) Short-term indebtedness 333 Current portion of long-term debt 264 Long term debt 3,681 Total debt 4,278 Less: Swaps (257) Fair value of cash flow hedges 54 Total debt after swaps 4,075 Less cash (334) Net debt before proceeds from Thomson Learning 3,741 Estimated after-tax proceeds from sale of Thomson Learning (6,278) Net debt (2,537) 2006 EBITDA 1,935 Net debt/ 2006 EBITDA (1.3) x (1) Restated from full year 2006 results for the reclassification of three (3) Healthcare businesses to discontinued operations, which occurred in the first quarter of 2007. Note: Given that Thomson hedges some of its debt to reduce risk, we include hedging instruments as we believe it provides a better measure of the total obligation associated with our outstanding debt. However, because we intend to hold our debt and related hedges to maturity, we do not consider the associated fair market value of cash flow hedges in our measurements. We reduce gross indebtedness by cash and cash equivalents on the basis that they could be used to pay down debt.
