EXPLANATORY NOTE
          This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Thomson Reuters Corporation’s (“Thomson Reuters”) Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-105280 (the “Registration Statement”)), is filed by Thomson Reuters to deregister certain of its common shares, no par value (“Common Shares”), and interests therein, that were registered for issuance pursuant to The Thomson 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”). The Registration Statement previously registered 9,000,000 Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Plan, plus an indeterminate amount of interests that may be offered or sold pursuant to the Plan. On April 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of Thomson Holdings Inc., which acts as plan administrator and sponsor to the Plan, determined that Common Shares required for the Plan shall no longer be newly issued by Thomson Reuters effective April 17, 2008, but rather will be purchased in the open-market by a designated trustee to the Plan. By filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, Thomson Reuters hereby deregisters all securities that were previously registered and have not been sold or otherwise issued as of the date of filing of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
