Thomson Reuters says it will form a joint venture and sell a majority stake in its Global Print business to KKR for about $500 million. Under the planned transaction, Thomson Reuters will continue to hold intellectual property rights and retain editorial control over its content portfolio, according to the company’s disclosures cited by outlets covering the deal. The arrangement keeps Thomson Reuters’ role in overseeing the creation and editorial direction of its published content, while KKR is positioned to provide ownership capital and influence through its majority stake in the Global Print operation. The reports agree on the overall structure of the transaction—Thomson Reuters partnering with KKR and transferring majority ownership of Global Print—along with the stated deal value of roughly $500 million. Details such as timing, regulatory steps, and specific operational responsibilities are not provided in the supplied excerpts, but the central elements across sources are the sale of a majority interest, the involvement of KKR, and Thomson Reuters’ continued control of the underlying intellectual property and editorial functions.
