Special Note CAUTIONARY NOTE CONCERNING FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS This presentation, in particular the discussion of the proposed acquisition of Reuters Group PLC and remarks related to Thomson’s outlook and prospects, includes forward-looking statements, such as Thomson’s beliefs and expectations regarding its financial performance in 2007. These statements are based on certain assumptions and reflect Thomson’s current expectations. Forward-looking statements also include statements about Thomson’s beliefs and expectations related to its ability to deliver continued growth and profitability, its enhancement of Thomson’s growth profile and creation of shareholder value through recent transactions, its anticipated run-rate savings related to THOMSONplus, its beliefs about the benefits to shareholders and customers of the combined Thomson-Reuters business after the deal closes and that the combined business will deliver faster growth and higher profitability. While Thomson believes that the proposed transaction with Reuters Group PLC will be approved by antitrust/competition authorities, there can be no assurance that the required approvals will be obtained, how long it will take to obtain such approvals or what conditions, if any, such authorities may impose. 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 Reuters 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 after the transaction closes; 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 materials filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States from time to time, including Thomson’s latest annual information form, which is also contained in its most recent annual report on Form 40-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Thomson speak only as of the date they are made. Thomson 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 law. 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 Reuters 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 website at www.sec.gov, at the Canadian securities regulatory authorities’ website at www.sedar.com and from Thomson. 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, USA. For further information about the public reference room, call the SEC at +1 800-732-0330. Statements in this presentation which relate to potential earnings enhancements should not be interpreted to mean that earnings per share will necessarily be greater than those for the relevant preceding financial period. No statement in this presentation is intended to constitute a profit forecast. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains disclosures of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted earnings and free cash flow. Please see the “Investor Relations” section of our website, www.thomson.com, for a reconciliation of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. You can also find some GAAP reconciliations in the tables attached to our earnings release dated July 26, 2007, which is also available on the Thomson website.
