Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI) has established an Automatic Share Purchase Plan (ASPP) in connection with its previously announced $1.0 billion share repurchase program. The ASPP is part of the company's normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase up to 10 million common shares between August 19, 2025, and August 18, 2026.

The ASPP enables share purchases during blackout periods and regulatory restrictions through a broker based on pre-set parameters. The plan will terminate when the NCIB expires unless terminated earlier. Outside blackout periods, purchases may be made at management's discretion, subject to market conditions, share price, and other growth investment opportunities.

Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI) ha istituito un Piano Automatico di Acquisto di Azioni (ASPP) in relazione al suo precedentemente annunciato programma di riacquisto azionario da 1,0 miliardo di dollari. L'ASPP fa parte del normale programma di riacquisto dell'emittente (NCIB) per l'acquisto fino a 10 milioni di azioni ordinarie tra il 19 agosto 2025 e il 18 agosto 2026.

Il piano consente acquisti di azioni durante i periodi di blackout e quando vi sono restrizioni normative tramite un intermediario, sulla base di parametri preimpostati. Il piano terminerà alla scadenza dell'NCIB, salvo revoca anticipata. Al di fuori dei periodi di blackout, gli acquisti potranno essere effettuati a discrezione della direzione, tenendo conto delle condizioni di mercato, del prezzo delle azioni e di altre opportunità di investimento per la crescita.

El plan terminará cuando caduque el NCIB, salvo que se rescinda antes. Fuera de los periodos de cierre, las compras podrán realizarse a criterio de la dirección, según las condiciones del mercado, el precio de la acción y otras oportunidades de inversión para el crecimiento.

Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI) a mis en place un Plan d'Achat Automatique d'Actions (ASPP) en lien avec son programme de rachat d'actions d'un milliard de dollars annoncé précédemment. L'ASPP s'inscrit dans le cadre de l'offre publique de rachat en cours (NCIB) visant à acheter jusqu'à 10 millions d'actions ordinaires entre le 19 août 2025 et le 18 août 2026.

Le plan permet des achats d'actions pendant les périodes de black-out et en cas de restrictions réglementaires via un courtier, selon des paramètres prédéfinis. Le plan prendra fin à l'expiration du NCIB, sauf s'il est résilié plus tôt. En dehors des périodes de black-out, les achats peuvent être effectués à la discrétion de la direction, en fonction des conditions de marché, du cours de l'action et d'autres opportunités d'investissement pour la croissance.

Insights

Thomson Reuters' $1B share buyback through an ASPP demonstrates financial strength and shareholder commitment without restricting capital flexibility.

Thomson Reuters has taken a strategic step by establishing an Automatic Share Purchase Plan (ASPP) to facilitate its previously announced $1.0 billion share repurchase program. The ASPP effectively enables the company to continue repurchasing shares even during blackout periods when trading restrictions would normally apply, ensuring consistent execution of their capital return strategy.

The company's plan to repurchase up to 10 million common shares (approximately 2% of outstanding shares) between August 2025 and August 2026 reflects confidence in its financial position and business outlook. This structured approach to capital allocation demonstrates management's commitment to returning excess capital to shareholders while maintaining flexibility for potential growth investments.

The ASPP mechanism is particularly valuable for Thomson Reuters as it allows for programmatic buying during periods when the company might possess material non-public information or face regulatory restrictions. By setting parameters in advance, the company ensures regulatory compliance while optimizing execution timing.

The press release wisely notes that the company maintains discretion to modify or suspend the program based on market conditions, share price, and alternative growth opportunities. This flexibility indicates prudent capital management rather than a rigid commitment to share repurchases at any cost.

For investors, this program represents a positive signal about Thomson Reuters' cash flow generation capabilities and management's confidence in long-term business prospects, while preserving strategic flexibility for potential acquisitions or investments in their content and technology offerings.

TORONTO, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson Reuters (TSX/Nasdaq: TRI), a global content and technology company, today announced that, in connection with its previously announced $1.0 billion share repurchase program and normal course issuer bid (NCIB) to purchase up to 10 million common shares between August 19, 2025 and August 18, 2026, it has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (ASPP) with its broker. The ASPP is intended to allow for the purchase of shares under the NCIB during pre-determined times when the company would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase shares due to customary blackout periods or other regulatory restrictions. Ìý

Purchases under the ASPP will be made by the company's broker based upon parameters set by Thomson Reuters when it is not in possession of material non-public information relating to the company or the shares. The ASPP has been entered into in accordance with the requirements of the TSX and applicable Canadian securities laws and will terminate when the NCIB expires, unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. All purchases made under the ASPP will be included in computing the number of shares purchased under the NCIB. Outside of pre-determined blackout periods, shares may be purchased under the NCIB based on management's discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable securities laws. Ìý

Decisions regarding any future repurchases will depend on certain factors, such as market conditions, share price and other opportunities to invest capital for growth. Thomson Reuters may elect to suspend or discontinue share repurchases at any time, in accordance with applicable laws.
