Thomson Reuters gets court approval for $605M capital return and share consolidation plan

Thomson Reuters has received final court approval for its plan to return $605 million to shareholders through a special cash distribution and to consolidate its shares via a reverse stock split. The plan, previously approved by shareholders, awaits final stock exchange approvals and is expected to take effect on May 4, 2026. Shareholders who opt out of the cash return will still participate in the share consolidation, increasing their equity proportionally. The company will provide detailed distribution and consolidation ratios after May 1, with cash payments to follow shortly after the plan's implementation.
