TORONTO, Sept. 23, 2024 /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 20,000,000 Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Class A First Preferred Shares, Series 1 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the "Series 1 Shares") of TD on October 31, 2024. As a result and subject to certain conditions set out in the prospectus supplement dated May 28, 2014 relating to the issuance of the Series 1 Shares, the holders of the Series 1 Shares have the right to convert all or part of their Series 1 Shares, on a one-for-one basis, into Non-Cumulative Floating Rate Class A First Preferred Shares, Series 2 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the "Series 2 Shares") of TD on October 31, 2024. Holders who do not exercise their right to convert their Series 1 Shares into Series 2 Shares on such date will continue to hold their Series 1 Shares, subject to the conditions described below.
The foregoing conversion right is subject to the conditions that: (i) if TD determines that there would be less than 1,000,000 Series 2 Shares outstanding after taking into account all shares tendered for conversion on October 31, 2024, then holders of Series 1 Shares will not be entitled to convert their shares into Series 2 Shares, and (ii) alternatively, if TD determines that there would remain outstanding less than 1,000,000 Series 1 Shares after taking into account all shares tendered for conversion on October 31, 2024, then all remaining Series 1 Shares will automatically be converted into Series 2 Shares on a one-for-one basis on October 31, 2024. In either case, TD will give written notice to that effect to holders of Series 1 Shares no later than October 24, 2024.
The dividend rate applicable to the Series 1 Shares for the 5-year period from and including October 31, 2024 to but excluding October 31, 2029, and the dividend rate applicable to the Series 2 Shares for the 3-month period from and including October 31, 2024 to but excluding January 31, 2025, will be determined and announced by way of a press release on October 1, 2024.
