NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS

FOR THE THOMSON REUTERS CORPORATION

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

To our shareholders,

We have decided to use the new “notice-and-access” system recently adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators for delivery of this year’s proxy materials. Under notice-and-access, you still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling you to vote at our meeting. However, instead of a paper copy of the management proxy circular and other proxy materials, you have received this notice which contains information about how to access these materials electronically on our website, www.thomsonreuters.com. Electronic delivery reduces the cost and environmental impact of producing and distributing paper copies of documents in very large quantities. It also provides shareholders with faster access to information about Thomson Reuters.
