TORONTO, Sept. 25, 2013 /CNW/ - The Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD Bank
Group" or "TD") announced today that it does not intend to exercise its
right to redeem all or any part of the currently outstanding 10 million
Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Preferred Shares, Series Y (the
"Series Y Shares") of TD on October 31, 2013. As a result and subject
to certain conditions set out in the prospectus dated July 7, 2008
relating to the issuance of the Series Y Shares, the holders of the
Series Y Shares have the right to convert all or part of their Series Y
Shares, on a one-for-one basis, into Non-Cumulative Floating Rate
Preferred Shares, Series Z (the "Series Z Shares") of TD on October 31,
2013. Holders who do not exercise their right to convert their Series
Y Shares into Series Z Shares on such date will continue to hold their
Series Y Shares.
The foregoing conversion right is subject to the conditions that: (i) if
TD determines that there would be less than 1,000,000 Series Z Shares
outstanding after October 31, 2013, then holders of Series Y Shares
will not be entitled to convert their shares into Series Z Shares, and
(ii) alternatively, if TD determines that there would remain
outstanding less than 1,000,000 Series Y Shares after October 31, 2013,
then all remaining Series Y Shares will automatically be converted into
Series Z Shares on a one-for-one basis on October 31, 2013. In either
case, TD will give written notice to that effect to holders of Series Y
Shares no later than October 24, 2013.
The dividend rate applicable to the Series Y Shares for the 5-year
period from and including October 31, 2013 to but excluding October 31,
2018, and the dividend rate applicable to the Series Z Shares for the
3-month period from and including October 31, 2013 to but excluding
January 31, 2014, will be determined and announced by way of a press
release on October 1, 2013.
Beneficial owners of Series Y Shares who wish to exercise their
conversion right should communicate as soon as possible with their
broker or other nominee to obtain instructions for exercising such
right on or prior to the deadline for exercise, which is 5:00 p.m.
(Toronto time) on October16, 2013.
