The Toronto-Dominion Bank has announced:

that none of its 20 million Non-Cumulative 5-Year Rate Reset Preferred Shares, Series 1 (Non-Viability Contingent Capital (NVCC)) (the “Series 1 Shares”) will be converted on October 31, 2019 into Non-Cumulative Floating Rate Preferred Shares, Series 2 (NVCC) (the “Series 2 Shares”) of TD.

During the conversion period, which ran from October 1, 2019 to October 16, 2019, 230,894 Series 1 Shares were tendered for conversion into Series 2 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 1 Shares dated May 28, 2014. As a result, no Series 2 Shares will be issued on October 31, 2019 and holders of Series 1 Shares will retain their Series 1 Shares.

The Series 1 Shares are currently listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol TD.PF.A. As previously announced on October 1, 2019, the dividend rate for the Series 1 Shares for the 5-year period from and including October 31, 2019 to but excluding October 31, 2024 will be 3.662%

TD.PF.A is a FixedReset, 3.90%+224, NVCC-compliant issue that commenced trading 2014-6-4 after being announced 2014-5-26. TD.PF.A will reset at 3.662% effective October 31, 2019. I recommended against conversion. It is tracked by HIMIPref™ and is assigned to the FixedReset – Discount subindex.
