The Toronto-Dominion Bank has announced:

that none of its 20 million Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Preferred Shares, Series 3 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the “Series 3 Shares”) will be converted on July 31, 2019 into Non-Cumulative Floating Rate Preferred Shares, Series 4 (NVCC) (the “Series 4 Shares”) of TD.

During the conversion period, which ran from July 2, 2019 to July 16, 2019, 350,885 Series 3 Shares were tendered for conversion into Series 4 Shares, which is less than the minimum 1,000,000 shares required to give effect to the conversion, as described in the prospectus supplement for the Series 3 Shares dated July 24, 2014. As a result, no Series 4 Shares will be issued on July 31, 2019 and holders of Series 3 Shares will retain their Series 3 Shares.

The Series 3 Shares are currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TD.PF.B. As previously announced on July 2, 2019, the dividend rate for the Series 3 Shares for the 5 year period from and including July 31, 2019 to but excluding July 31, 2024 will be 3.681%.

TD.PF.B is a FixedReset 3.80%+227, NVCC-compliant, issue that commenced trading 2014-7-31 after being announced 2014-7-22. TD provided notice of extension on 2019-6-25. The issue will reset At 3.681% effective July 31, 2019. I recommended against conversion. The issue is tracked by HIMIPref™ and is assigned to the FixedReset (Discount) subindex.
