TD
Bank Financial Group to Repurchase Shares
Toronto,
August 24, 2006 - The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD: TSX) today announced that,
subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange, it intends to launch
a
normal course issuer bid through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange
to
repurchase up to 4 million shares representing approximately 0.6% of the
bank’s
outstanding common shares as of August 18, 2006. TD will file a notice of
intention with the Toronto Stock Exchange prior to commencing
purchases.
The
number of shares and timing of the repurchases will be as determined by TD,
but
it is the bank’s goal to repurchase sufficient shares during the course of the
bid to offset common share dilution from the exercise of stock
options over
a 12-month period which is expected to begin in September, 2006.
TD
may commence purchases after the Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted the
notice
of intention and the bank expects to begin repurchasing shares in September,
2006, continuing for up to one year. All repurchased shares will be
cancelled.
