Dividends and Dividend Dates for Fiscal 2012
*Ex-dividend date for the New York Stock Exchange is July 2, 2012. Designation of Eligible DividendsTD for the purposes of the Income Tax Act, Canada and any similar provincial legislation advises that all of its dividends paid in 2006 are eligible dividends and all dividends paid thereafter will be eligible dividends unless indicated otherwise. Dividend RestrictionsTD is prohibited by the Bank Act from declaring dividends on its preferred or common shares if there are reasonable grounds for believing that TD is, or the payment would cause TD to be, in contravention of the capital adequacy and liquidity regulations of the Bank Act or directions of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada. TD does not anticipate that this condition will restrict it from paying dividends in the normal course of business. TD is also restricted in the event that either TD Capital Trust II, or TD Capital Trust III fails to pay semi-annual distributions in full to holders of TD Capital Trust II Securities - Series 2012-1, or TD Capital Trust III Securities - Series 2008 respectively, or TD Capital Trust IV fails to pay semi-annual interest in full to holders of TD Capital Trust IV Notes. In addition, the ability to pay dividends on its common shares without the approval of the holders of the outstanding preferred shares is restricted unless all dividends on the preferred shares have been declared and paid or set apart for payment. Currently, these limitations do not restrict the payment of dividends on preferred or common shares. Since 1857, TD has not missed declaring or paying dividends on its preferred or common share. Redemption and ConversionThe common shares have no redemption or conversion rights. Stock Split Information

Valuation Day Price
For Canadian income tax purposes, TD's common stock was quoted at $30.00 per share on Valuation Day, December 22, 1971. After adjustments for the two-for-one stock split in December 1975 and the three-for-one stock split in July 1983, this is now equivalent to $5.00 per share.
There is no adjustment for the one-for-one stock dividend in July 1989 and the one-for-one stock dividend in July 1999. For Canadian capital gains tax purposes all the stock dividend shares are considered to be acquired after 1971. The number of stock dividend shares received should therefore be added to the post-1971 pool of shares. Because the stock dividend shares have a nil cost, no amount is added to the cost base of the post-1971 pool. The stock dividend does not alter the number or adjusted cost base of any pre-1972 pool of shares held.
