TD Bank Provides Update on U.S. AML Matters

• Global Resolution Anticipated by Calendar Year End; Continues to Strengthen U.S. AML Program

• TD Has Taken Provision of US$2.6 Billion; Will be partially offset by Schwab Share Sale

• Maintains Strong Balance Sheet and Capital Ratios

TORONTO and NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2024 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group (“TD” or the “Bank”) (TSX: TD) (NYSE: TD) today announced that the Bank continues to actively pursue a global resolution of the civil and criminal investigations into its U.S. Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)/anti-money laundering (AML) program by its U.S. prudential regulators, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). In anticipation of a global resolution, which will include monetary and non-monetary penalties, the Bank has taken a further provision of US$2.6 billion in its third quarter financial results to reflect the Bank's current estimate of the total fines related to these matters. The Bank expects that a global resolution will be finalized by calendar year end.

TD also announced today that it has sold 40,500,000 shares of common stock of The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab"). The share sale will reduce TD's ownership interest in Schwab from 12.3% to 10.1%. In connection with this sale, TD has agreed not to sell any additional Schwab shares for a period of 45 days, subject to certain exceptions. TD has no current intention to divest additional shares.

After giving effect to this provision, TD’s Common Equity Tier 1 ("CET1") ratio will be 12.8% as of July 31, 2024. In TD's fourth fiscal quarter, the provision will have a further negative impact of 35 bps on its CET1 ratio from the increase in operational risk. Also in the fourth fiscal quarter, the Schwab share sale will increase TD's CET1 ratio by 54 bps.

"We recognize the seriousness of our U.S. AML program deficiencies and the work required to meet our obligations and responsibilities is of paramount importance to me, our senior leaders, and our Boards," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and Chief Executive Officer, TD Bank Group.

"Our remediation program is well underway. TD has strengthened its U.S. AML program with the addition of globally recognized leaders and talent from across the industry, including experts from regulatory agencies, law enforcement and government. The Bank is also making important investments in data and technology, training, and process design. We are building stronger foundations for our U.S. business, where 30,000 colleagues proudly serve more than 10 million Americans from Maine to Florida," added Masrani.

"TD continues to work constructively with our regulators and law enforcement towards resolution of our U.S. AML matters and looks forward to bringing additional clarity to our shareholders, clients and other stakeholders," concluded Masrani.
