Thomson Reuters enters into $1B share repurchase program and NCIB with ASPP.

Thomson Reuters has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) with its broker to repurchase up to 10 million common shares under its $1.0 billion share repurchase program. The ASPP allows for purchases during blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. Purchases will be made based on parameters set by Thomson Reuters and in accordance with TSX and Canadian securities laws.

Toronto, Sept. 2, 2025 — Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI), a global content and technology company, has announced the implementation of an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) as part of its ongoing $1.0 billion share repurchase program. The ASPP is designed to facilitate the purchase of shares during pre-determined times when the company would ordinarily be restricted from doing so due to customary blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions.

The ASPP allows Thomson Reuters to purchase shares through its broker based on parameters set by the company. These purchases will occur when Thomson Reuters is not in possession of material non-public information relating to the company or its shares. The plan is in compliance with TSX and Canadian securities laws and will terminate when the normal course issuer bid (NCIB) expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. All purchases made under the ASPP will be included in the total number of shares repurchased under the NCIB.

Outside of the pre-determined blackout periods, shares may still be purchased under the NCIB based on management's discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable securities laws. Thomson Reuters has the flexibility to suspend or discontinue share repurchases at any time, depending on market conditions, share price, and other opportunities to invest capital for growth.

The ASPP is a strategic move aimed at optimizing share repurchases while adhering to regulatory guidelines. It provides a structured approach to ensure that Thomson Reuters can make informed decisions about share repurchases, even during periods when it would otherwise be restricted.

Thomson Reuters continues to serve professionals across various sectors, including legal, tax, audit, accounting, compliance, government, and media.
