TORONTO, Oct. 3, 2022 /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 14 million Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Preferred Shares, Series 16 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the "Series 16 Shares") of TD on October 31, 2022. As a result, and subject to certain conditions set out in the prospectus supplement dated July 7, 2017 relating to the issuance of the Series 16 Shares, the holders of the Series 16 Shares have the right to convert all or part of their Series 16 Shares, on a one-for-one basis, into Non-Cumulative Floating Rate Preferred Shares, Series 17 (NVCC) (the "Series 17 Shares") of TD on October 31, 2022.  Holders who do not exercise their right to convert their Series 16 Shares into Series 17 Shares on such date will continue to hold their Series 16 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 17 Shares outstanding after taking into account all shares tendered for conversion on October 31, 2022, then holders of Series 16 Shares will not be entitled to convert their shares into Series 17 Shares, and (ii) alternatively, if TD determines that there would remain outstanding less than 1,000,000 Series 16 Shares after taking into account all shares tendered for conversion on October 31, 2022, then all remaining Series 16 Shares will automatically be converted into Series 17 Shares on a one-for-one basis on October 31, 2022. In either case, TD will give written notice to that effect to holders of Series 16 Shares no later than October 24, 2022.

The dividend rate applicable to the Series 16 Shares for the 5-year period from and including October 31, 2022 to but excluding October 31, 2027 is 6.301%.  The dividend rate applicable to the Series 17 Shares for the 3-month period from and including October 31, 2022 to but excluding January 31, 2023, is 6.662%.
