If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition

13d-1(f) or 13d-1(g), check the following box. o
Note: Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the
schedule, including all exhibits. See Rule 13d-7 for other parties to whom copies are to be sent.

Explanatory Note
This Schedule 13D amends and restates the Schedule 13D filed by The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust
Company (the Trust Company) and The Bank of Nova Scotia (the Bank) on October 1, 2008 relating
to Thomson Reuters Corporation and Thomson Reuters PLC.
The Trust Company became Trustee in the ordinary course of its corporate trust business and not
with any purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of Thomson Reuters. Each of the Bank
and the Trust Company are subject to foreign regulatory schemes substantially comparable to the
regulatory scheme applicable to the functionally equivalent U.S. institution and now qualify under
Rule 13d-1(b) to make this filing on the short-form Schedule 13G, as a similarly situated U.S.
institution would have done. Accordingly, in lieu of any further amendments to their Schedule 13D,
the Bank and Trust Company have filed a Schedule 13G on December 16, 2008.
