RNS Number:1916K Thomson Corporation 18 September 2001 ( BW)(THOMSON-CORP)(TOC.TO)(NEWZ) The Thomson Corporation Extends Cash Tender Offer For NewsEdge Corporation TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 18, 2001--The Thomson Corporation (TSE:TOC) announced today that InfoBlade Acquisition Corporation (InfoBlade), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Thomson, is extending its offer to acquire all outstanding shares of common stock of NewsEdge Corporation (NASDAQ:NEWZ) until 12:00 Midnight (EDT) on September 25, 2001, unless further extended. The cash tender offer and withdrawal rights were previously scheduled to expire at 12:00 Midnight (EDT) on September 18, 2001. Due to the tragic events that transpired on September 11, 2001 and the subsequent closing of the stock markets and the interruption of mail service to the Depositary, Computershare Trust Company of New York, Thomson is extending the expiration date of the cash tender offer. The decision to extend the offer was made after consultation with NewsEdge and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The cash tender offer is being made in connection with the proposed merger of InfoBlade and NewsEdge pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 6, 2001 among Thomson, InfoBlade and NewsEdge. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, on August 21, 2001, InfoBlade commenced a cash tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of NewsEdge common stock at a price of US$2.30 per share.
