Tax & Accounting creates Government Business Group with Manatron acquisition

NEW YORK, July 18, 2011- Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of
intelligent information for businesses and professionals, has officially
acquired Manatron following regulatory clearance in the U.S. and Ukraine.

Manatron is a provider of property tax automation and land registry software for
governments and municipalities around the world, and was acquired from Thoma
Bravo LLC, a private equity firm.

Manatron's flagship solution, Government Revenue Management (GRM), is an
integrated suite of web-based property recording, assessment and tax software
that automates the operational, informational, and planning needs for assessors,
auditors, treasurers, tax collectors and other government officials. Manatron's
software solutions are being used by governments to replace antiquated systems
to help improve customer service, streamline processes and manage the growing
velocity of legislative changes.

"The government tax automation space is a growing sector and a natural fit with
our strategy to improve workflow efficiency for our clients through innovative
technology," said Brian Peccarelli, president of the Tax & Accounting business
of Thomson Reuters.

"This is an exciting time for the Tax & Accounting business as we move into a
new sector and acquire products which complement our current offering.  We will
now be able to provide our customers with one of the largest portfolios of
products and services, irrespective of sector or size."

The acquisition of Manatron will strengthen the expanding Tax & Accounting
business as well as create a new government business group headed by Bill
McKinzie, senior vice president and general manager of the government sector for
the Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters.
