Description

The Class A First Preferred Shares may be issued in one or more series. The Board of Directors determines by resolution the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each series of preferred shares as well as the number to be issued. The terms determined by the Board of Directors include dividends and dividend payments, conversion features, redemption features, voting rights, retraction rights and transfer restrictions.

The Class A First Preferred Shares are entitled to preference over the common shares and any other shares the Bank may issue ranking junior to the Class A First Preferred Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets of the Bank in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Bank.

Holders of Class A First Preferred Shares have no voting rights except as provided by the Bank Act or by the terms of the series. For Holders of Class A First Preferred Shares who are residents of the United States, the Class A Preferred Shares shall be classified as equity for US federal income tax purposes.

Dividend Restrictions

TD 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, TD Capital Trust II or TD Capital Trust III fails to pay semi-annual distributions in full to holders of TD Capital Trust Securities - Series 2009, TD Capital Trust II Securities - Series 2012-1 and TD Capital Trust III – Series 2008, respectively. 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 shares.

Redemption and Conversion

None of the outstanding preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the holder, although certain of the preferred shares series include a conversion right exercisable at the option of the holder.

The Bank has certain rights to redeem the preferred shares as more fully described below. Redemptions of all preferred shares are subject to the provisions of the Bank Act and to the prior approval of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada).
