REUTERS ANNOUNCES NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE

London – Reuters, the global information, news and technology group, announced today the appointment of Tom Glocer (41), as Group Chief Executive with effect from July 2001. He will replace Peter Job (59) who retires from the company in July when he reaches 60.

Tom Glocer is currently Chief Executive Officer of Reuters Information – a significant Reuters business which in 1999 had sales of over £1.6 billion – and Chief Executive Officer of Reuters America Inc. He was appointed to the Reuters Board in June 2000. In October 1998, Tom assumed responsibility for managing the operations of Reuters Information in North and South America and acted as Reuters senior company officer for the Americas. He joined Reuters in September 1993 as a senior member of the Group’s legal department and a year later became General Counsel of Reuters America. Tom joined the company from the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell for whom he worked in New York, Paris and Tokyo.

Since October 1999, Reuters has been actively considering a successor to Peter Job and has reviewed both internal and external candidates. The review process, which has been thorough and wide-ranging, has been conducted by the Reuters Nomination Committee — comprising only the non-executive directors — under Reuters Chairman Sir Christopher Hogg. Tom Glocer’s appointment reflects the considerable abilities he will bring to the role, including a thorough understanding of the way in which Reuters markets and their technologies are evolving, together with exceptional leadership qualities. He is highly regarded within the Group and is widely known in the industry.

Tom and his family, who are currently based in New York, will relocate next year to London where Reuters headquarters is based.

Sir Christopher Hogg commented: “Tom has established a remarkable reputation in his time at Reuters and is clearly a leader who gets people to work with him. He is well liked and respected in the Group. He is smart, decisive, questioning, but tough, and importantly is internationally aware and experienced. Above all, he is very customer-focused with a fine understanding of Reuters markets and relevant technology. He will ensure the Reuters brand will be well cared for.

2

“The Board decided to announce the new chief executive in good time to sustain the considerable forward momentum of the Group that has been building all this year, founded on a well-defined strategy. This appointment is the culmination of a long and thorough process during which the Nomination Committee and the Board considered both internal and external individuals of high quality.

“Reuters owes much to Peter Job, its chief executive since 1991. The strong position of the Group today reflects his direction and guidance. Announcing Peter’s successor now will ensure an orderly transfer of responsibilities and avoid any vacuum in the decision-making process within the company. Looking forward, Tom’s exceptional abilities augur well for the future of Reuters and its remarkable business.”

REUTERS AND MULTEX.COM CREATE INTERNET PORTAL FOR JAPANESE
PRIVATE INVESTORS

Tokyo and London – Reuters (RTR.L), the information, news and technology group, and Multex.com Inc. (Nasdaq: MLTX.O), a global provider of investment information and technology solutions to the financial services industry, have entered into a 50/50 joint venture to form a new company, Multex Investor Japan, for retail investors in Japan.

Multex Investor Japan will provide for registered members a range of software applications, Japanese-language news and financial information that will allow them to analyse and manage their own personal investment portfolios. Multex Investor Japan’s content will also include research from leading stockbrokers, investment banks and independent research firms.

Multex Investor Japan will largely replicate a similar US portal, Multex Investor (www. multexinvestor.com) and a European portal, Multex Investor Europe. The former was launched by Multex.com in November 1998 and currently has more than two million registered users. The latter, a 50/50 joint venture between Reuters and Multex, was launched in the UK (www.multexinvestor.co.uk) in September this year and went live in Germany (www.multexinvestor.de) in October. It has already over 25,000 registered users.

Multex Investor Japan will focus on Japan’s rapidly expanding online retail investor community. Japan has the world’s second largest Internet market of 30 million users. Stockbrokers, investment banks and other research publishers are planned to be represented on the portal through sponsorship packages and will be able to attract new customers to their own online broking services. The Multex Investor Japan site will also have links to the Japanese version of the Reuters Personal Finance portal, planned for next year.

Multex also provides the technology and content for other Reuters products for the professional financial markets, including Reuters Broker Research and Reuters Credit. Reuters was an early investor in Multex and currently holds a minority interest in the company.

Peter Job, chief executive, Reuters, commented in Tokyo: “This new joint venture will significantly contribute to the Reuters consumer retail strategy in Japan by bringing premium content and portfolio management tools to the Japanese private investor. We are delighted to broaden our relationship with Multex into Asia.”

Isaak Karaev, chairman & chief executive officer, Multex.com, said in New York: “The Multex Investor Japan financial portal will focus on the rapidly expanding online investor community in Japan. We aim to replicate the success that we have experienced in the US and Europe by providing the private investor in Japan with the very best information and decision making tools. Multex.com brings to the venture a proven successful Internet offering and technology whilst Reuters delivers an unmatched quality of financial news and data.”

UPDATE ON INSTINET.COM

London — Reuters, the global information, news and technology group, said today that Instinet Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary, will market its equity retail trading product through Instinet’s wholesale business on a private label basis. While the development of its new platform for direct online retail brokerage has been completed, it will not now be marketed under the Instinet.com brand.

Key elements of the service will be combined with existing functionality to address the retail market indirectly via the brands of other financial services and brokerage firms which wish to utilise Instinet’s execution and clearing services.

Current market conditions in the retail on-line brokerage market, including the high costs of customer acquisition, lower levels of trading activity, slowing rate of new customer growth, and substantial declines in the value of online brokerage businesses, all make the wholesale market a more attractive business model at this time.

Instinet’s wholesale business offers access to Instinet’s large pool of liquidity in equities, the use of its new retail clearing platform, and the opportunity to hold individual clients’ accounts. The first major wholesale customer relationship was established in October this year and over 30,000 trades a day are now being processed.

Douglas Atkin, Chief Executive Officer of Instinet Corporation, said: “As we analyse the recent developments related to the online retail brokerage sector, we believe that the most prudent way to deliver an Instinet quality service to individual investors and value to Reuters shareholders, in the current circumstances, is by deploying our retail assets on a wholesale basis.”

Peter Job, Chief Executive, Reuters, said: “Instinet’s strategy is to serve individual investors through a variety of means, including this new line of retail trading and clearing products. We already have a successful wholesale model in the Reuters Group supplying packaged solutions of content and technology to a range of broking clients through Reuters Investor services. Instinet will take this further by providing the complete package including execution and clearing.”
