RNS Number:5944Z Thomson Corporation 27 February 2001 ( BW)(THOMSON-CORPORATION)(TOC.TO) The Thomson Corporation To Sell Non-Core Businesses Within Thomson Financial Business Editors TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 27, 2001-- Strategic Restructuring Enables Market Group to Sharpen Focus on Providing Comprehensive Work Solutions to Global Financial Services Industry The Thomson Corporation (TSE:TOC), a leading, global e-information and solutions company in the business and professional marketplace, announced today that it intends to sell certain businesses contained in its Thomson Financial market group. The businesses to be divested include publications, business products, and services primarily targeting the commercial banking sectors, as well as several niche markets. The transaction is expected to be completed later this year. Richard J. Harrington, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Thomson Corporation said, "We have recently completed a thorough evaluation of the evolving markets in which Thomson Financial competes. Although these are outstanding businesses with strong management, and well-established customers and brands, they are primarily print-based, domestic companies and, therefore, do not fit within our vision for Thomson Financial as a leading e-solutions provider to the global financial services industry." Several of the businesses being divested are market leaders in providing specialized information and services to a broad range of commercial banks and other financial services companies. Major businesses and brands include American Banker, The Bond Buyer, A.S. Pratt, Credit Union Journal, National Mortgage News, and Sheshunoff Information Services. Other businesses and brands to be divested include those that primarily focus on the financial planning and other niche markets, including: Financial Planning, On Wall Street, Securities Industry News, and Traders Magazine. "Thomson Financial has always embraced innovation and change to maintain and grow its leading market position," said Patrick J. Tierney, President and CEO of Thomson Financial. "Over the past year, Thomson Financial has sharpened its focus on providing increased analytical and workflow functionality, and technology and distribution services to the securities industry. This means serving the needs of corporations as issuers, investment banks, brokerage houses, and fund managers. While the businesses we are selling have well-established customer bases, unique data and information and strong brand names, they simply fall outside our strategic core focus." Thomson has retained Morgan Stanley to be its financial adviser on the sale. About The Thomson Corporation The Thomson Corporation (www.thomson.com), with 1999 revenues of $5.8 billion, is a leading, global e-information and solutions company in the business and professional marketplace. The Corporation's common shares are listed on the Toronto and London Stock Exchanges. This news release includes forward-looking statements, which are based on the Corporation's current expectations and assumptions, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to materially differ from those anticipated.
