TD Bank Normal Course Issuer Bid Purchases Proceeding Well
April 7, 2004 — TORONTO — The Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD") announced today that purchases of common shares under its normal course issuer bid are proceeding well. During the month of March, TD purchased 4,338,700 common shares for a total cost of $201 million. This represents substantial progress towards TD's goal of neutralizing actual and anticipated share dilution from its Dividend Reinvestment Plan and the exercise of stock options during fiscal 2004.
Details of TD's purchases for March are expected to be filed today on SEDI (www.sedi.ca). The Bank will file similar reports with respect to each month in which it makes purchases under the normal course issuer bid.
TD launched the normal course issuer bid on March 2, 2004. Under the bid, TD may purchase up to 10,000,000 of its common shares. The bid will terminate on March 1, 2005 or such earlier date as TD completes its purchases.
