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.
ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER.
      This Schedule 13D relates to the Common Shares and Ordinary Shares (including Ordinary Shares underlying American Depositary Shares). The principal executive office of Thomson Reuters is located at 3 Times Square in New York, New York.
ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
      This Schedule 13D is being filed by the Bank and the Bank’s subsidiary, the Trust Company, 44 King Street West Toronto, ON M5H 1H1. The Bank and the Trust Company are filing this Schedule 13D because the Trust Company is trustee of a trust which forms part of the estate arrangements of Kenneth R. Thomson.
ITEM 7.   EXHIBITS
  (1)   Joint filing agreement between the Bank and the Trust Company.
