Explanatory Note

The common shares (the “Common Shares”) of Thomson Reuters Corporation (“Thomson Reuters”) that are the subject matter of this Schedule 13G include the 313,295,787 Common Shares that are the subject matter of a Schedule 13D, as amended, filed on February 14, 2024 by The Woodbridge Company Limited (“Woodbridge”), which beneficially owns those 313,295,787 Common Shares.

The Bank of Nova Scotia (the “Bank”) and its subsidiary, The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company (the “Trust Company”), have been advised by Woodbridge as follows in the balance of this paragraph: As of January 31, 2024, Woodbridge is the beneficial owner of 313,295,787 Common Shares representing approximately 69.3% of the outstanding Common Shares. Woodbridge, a private company, is the primary investment vehicle for members of the family of the late Roy H. Thomson, the first Lord Thomson of Fleet. Prior to his death in 2006, Kenneth R. Thomson controlled Thomson Reuters through Woodbridge. He did so by holding shares of a holding company of Woodbridge, Thomson Investments Limited. Under his estate arrangements, the 2003 TIL Settlement, a trust of which the Trust Company is trustee and members of the family of the late first Lord Thomson of Fleet are beneficiaries, holds those holding company shares. Kenneth R. Thomson established these arrangements to provide for long-term stability of the business of Woodbridge. The equity of Woodbridge continues to be owned by members of successive generations of the family of the first Lord Thomson of Fleet. Under the Kenneth R. Thomson estate arrangements, the directors and officers of Woodbridge are responsible for its business and operations. In certain limited circumstances, including very substantial dispositions of Common Shares by Woodbridge, the estate arrangements provide for approval of the Trust Company, as trustee, to be obtained.

The filing of this Schedule 13G by the Bank and the Trust Company should not be construed as an admission that either the Trust Company or the Bank is, for purposes of section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act (defined on p.1), the beneficial owner of the 313,295,787 Common Shares included in this Schedule 13G.

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.
