Note:  The ownership percentages set forth herein are based on the 829,050,674 Common Shares outstanding as of September 14, 2009, as indicated in a certificate of Computershare Trust Company of Canada, the transfer agent for the Common Shares, dated September 15, 2009.

Explanatory Note

The common shares (the “Common Shares”) of Thomson Reuters Corporation that are the subject matter of this Schedule 13G include the 455,568,245 Common Shares that are the subject matter of a Schedule 13D filed on September 15, 2009 by The Woodbridge Company Limited (“Woodbridge”), which beneficially owns those 455,568,245 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: on September 10, 2009, Thomson Reuters completed the previously announced unification of its dual listed company structure (“Unification”) under which it had maintained two publicly listed parent companies — Thomson Reuters Corporation, an Ontario corporation, and Thomson Reuters PLC, a public limited company registered in England and Wales. Pursuant to Unification, each outstanding Thomson Reuters PLC ordinary share was exchanged for one Common Share and each outstanding Thomson Reuters PLC American Depositary Share was exchanged for six Common Shares. Following Unification, Thomson Reuters Corporation is the sole parent company of Thomson Reuters and Thomson Reuters PLC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Thomson Reuters Corporation. As of September 14, 2009, Woodbridge is the beneficial owner of 455,568,245 Common Shares representing approximately 55% 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 Corporation (then known as The Thomson Corporation) 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.

This Schedule 13G is being filed because the Bank and the Trust Company have been advised that Unification has been completed and that, pursuant to Unification, the 25,029,324 Thomson Reuters PLC ordinary shares that were beneficially owned by Woodbridge were exchanged for 25,029,324 Common Shares and the 88,800 Thomson Reuters PLC American Depositary Shares that were beneficially owned by Woodbridge were exchanged for 532,800 Common Shares. Pursuant to Unification, the 296,000 Thomson Reuters PLC ordinary shares that were beneficially owned by the Bank were exchanged for 296,000 Common Shares and the 18,425 Thomson Reuters PLC American Depositary Shares that were beneficially owned by the Bank were exchanged for 110,550 Common Shares.

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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the beneficial owner of the 455,568,245 Common Shares included in this Schedule 13G.
