TD
Bank Financial Group Confirms TSX Acceptance of Normal Course Issuer Bid
Notice
Toronto,
December 15, 2006 - The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX: TD) announced today that
the
Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) has accepted its notice of intention to make
a
normal course issuer bid. TD announced its intention to file the notice on
October 19th, 2006. Under its normal course issuer bid, TD intends to
repurchase up to 5 million of its common shares, representing approximately
0.7%
of the 718,932,229 common shares issued and outstanding as of December 13,
2006. As previously announced, the objective of the bid is to offset the
common
share dilution arising from the exercise of stock options. The maximum number
of
shares to be repurchased is based on the anticipated number of shares to
be
issued due to exercise of options over a 12-month period.
TD
will determine, based on its capital requirements, when to initiate repurchases
during the 12 month period the bid is in effect. TD intends to establish
a plan
under which its broker, TD Securities, would repurchase TD shares pursuant
to
the bid. Such a plan would define a pre-arranged set of criteria, in accordance
with which share repurchases would
be made automatically, until the plan
is terminated by TD or the bid expires. TD
would not be entitled to vary or suspend the plan.
All
repurchases will be made
through the facilities of the TSX in accordance with the rules and policies
of
the exchange. All
repurchased shares will be cancelled.
Repurchases
under the bid may commence on December 20, 2006 and will terminate on December
19, 2007, or on such earlier date as TD may determine.
