with the $2,000,000,000 of securities registered under its Registration Statement on Form
F-9 (File No. 333-128045) initially filed on September 1, 2005. Of this amount, $141,240 of

ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Thomson Reuters directors are indemnified by Thomson Reuters Corporation and Thomson
Reuters PLC to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), a corporation may indemnify a present or
former director or officer or an individual who acts or acted at the corporations request as a
director or officer or in a similar capacity of another entity, against all costs, charges and
expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred
by the director in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other
proceeding in which the director is involved because of that association with the corporation or
other entity, provided that the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best
interests of the corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for
which the individual acted at the corporations request, and, in the case of a criminal or
administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such individual had
reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.
Under the Companies Act 1985 (UK), as amended (the UK Companies Act), a company may
not directly or indirectly indemnify a director of a company in connection with any negligence,
default, breach of duty or breach of trust by the director in relation to the company unless the
indemnity constitutes a qualifying third party indemnity provision. An indemnity will be a
qualifying third party indemnity provision for the purposes of the UK Companies Act, provided
that it does not indemnify the director against any liability the director incurs:
|
|
to the company or to an associated company (an associated company is, in effect, a
company in the same group;
same group); |
|
|
|
to pay a criminal fine or a regulatory penalty; |
|
|
|
in defending criminal proceedings in which the director is convicted; |
|
|
|
in defending civil proceedings brought by the company, or an associated company, in
which judgment is given against the director; or |
|
|
|
in an unsuccessful application for relief from liability under the UK Companies Act. |
Thomson Reuters maintains, at its expense, a directors and officers liability insurance
policy that provides protection for its directors and officers against liability incurred by them
in their capacities as such. This policy provides for a limit of at least $100 million for each
claim and $100 million in the aggregate and that there is no deductible for this coverage. The
insurance applies in certain circumstances where Thomson Reuters may not indemnify its directors
and officers for their acts or omissions. Premiums paid by Thomson Reuters relating to directors
and officers liability insurance are between $2 million and $3.5 million per annum.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
|
(i) |
|
To include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
(if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of
prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration
Statement; and |
|
|
(iii) |
|
To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this
Registration Statement or any material change to such information in
this Registration Statement; |
|
|
|
|
provided, however, that: |
(A) paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be
included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained
in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement; and
(B) paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply
if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule
424(b) that is part of this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering; and
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act
to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: Each undersigned registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of such undersigned registrant pursuant to this
Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following
communications, such undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be
considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
|
(i) |
|
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of
such undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be
filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
Any free writing prospectus relating to the
offering prepared by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant or
used or referred to by such undersigned registrant; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
The portion of any other free writing
prospectus relating to the offering containing material information
about such undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on
behalf of such undersigned registrant; and |
|
|
(iv) |
|
Any other communication that is an offer in
the offering made by such undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
(b) Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by such registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, such registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it
has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and
has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York on this 30th day
of June 2008.
