Thomson Reuters filed proxy documents for a special shareholder meeting on April 28, 2026. Shareholders will vote on a proposed return of capital and subsequent share consolidation.
The plan includes a special cash distribution totaling approximately $605 million. This payout equates to an estimated $1.36 per common share.
The company will execute a proportional share consolidation following the cash distribution. This capital return is structured to be generally tax-free for Canadian shareholders.
Eligible non-Canadian shareholders may opt out of the transaction. Market reports noted no immediate reaction to the filing.
