The Company will discuss that, in the first quarter to date, it has repurchased 13.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of $23.01, excluding commission costs, pursuant to its previously announced share repurchase program.

The Company will also discuss its Daily Average Revenue Trades (DARTs) for the month of February. For February 2016, the Company reports DARTs of 164,077, a six percent decrease from January. The Company intends to issue its standard monthly activity report for February on or about March 14, 2016.

Based on guidance from the SEC, the Company may also use the Investor Relations section of its corporate website, about.etrade.com, to communicate with investors about the Company.
