Thomson Reuters has released the voting results from its 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which was held in Toronto on June 10th.

All 14 candidates nominated for the board of directors were elected by shareholders, including two newly elected directors.

Each elected director will serve until the next annual meeting or until they resign or a successor is elected.

Voting Results

According to the final vote tally, all nominated candidates received high levels of support, exceeding 97%.

New director Michael Medline received 98.74% of votes in favor, while Liz Hilton Segel received 99.96%, demonstrating strong shareholder confidence in the new members.

Among other directors, Steve Hasker received 99.85% support, Kirk E. Arnold received 99.64%, LaVerne Council received 99.91%, and Board Chair David Thomson received 98.20%.

Other Meeting Business

Beyond the director elections, the meeting addressed several other key items.

Shareholders reappointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the company's auditor and passed an advisory resolution on executive compensation.

Meanwhile, a shareholder proposal was not approved, indicating investor support for the current governance structure and strategic direction.

Market Interpretation

The successful meeting and the high approval rates for the resolutions are viewed by the market as a vote of confidence from shareholders in the existing leadership and management practices at Thomson Reuters.

This support is seen as beneficial for the company as it continues to maintain its leading position in technology and content within the professional sectors of law, tax, news, and corporate information.
