Global solution delivers better usability and unique decision making content and
workflow for board members

LONDON, 09 November, 2012 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced
further strategic enhancements to its BoardLink service, a secure board workflow
solution designed to serve companies as they operate across borders and involve
increasingly mobile, global boards.

Thomson Reuters BoardLink has enhanced and adapted its functionality to include
strategic business insight for directors, new corporate governance features like
online voting and a sharply enhanced user experience. These key developments,
shaped in conjunction with Thomson Reuters board clients, continue to take the
solution beyond a board portal to a secure corporate governance solution that
helps better inform and equip boards in an environment of increased scrutiny
from investors, regulators   and the media.

Now available via the BoardLink iPad application are new best practice corporate
governance features, such as online voting capabilities, that allow board
members to vote on important activities and agenda items for discussion. These
further streamline workflow process, allowing time-pressed boards to accomplish
more within a single, secure online environment. A sharper, more intuitive iPad
user experience provides greater power and ease of use to increasingly mobile
directors and enhances sign-in process, workflow functionality and navigation.

BoardLink now includes a new layer of strategic business insight, filtered by
industry and company, which will help directors' preparedness and decision
making; this will benefit both executive and non-executive members of boards.
New availability of analyst reports on BoardLink provides board members with
strategic business intelligence on investor perceptions about their own
organization as well as their peers. Additionally, filtered news feeds relevant
to the specific organization, peers and industry can now be delivered via
BoardLink and shared amongst board members.

Thomson Reuters BoardLink has received SysTrust and SSAE 16 Audit Report
certification which analyzes a service organization's controls over its system
relating to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, or
privacy. This certification process provides transparency for customers by
providing unbiased third-party independent verification of the controls and
operations of the solution.

"These latest updates mark BoardLink's transformation from a board meeting tool
to a board governance solution," said Kevin Ritchey, senior vice president,
Governance, Transactions & Legal Risk, Thomson Reuters. "Board members and
executive management should see their governance enhanced through strategic
business insight on their industry and company, and new workflow tools that will
complement their existing ability to remotely access critical internal
information."

Thomson Reuters BoardLink iPad app is a powerful tool to support increasingly
mobile board members, along with a secure, Web-based board portal for Corporate
and Company Secretaries to manage Board workflow.  This enables users to
communicate and share documents, create topic-specific workspaces, compile and
share board books, and have access to critical business intelligence and board
committee documents.

BoardLink is available as part of the Thomson Reuters Accelus suite of products.
