TORONTO, May 5, 2023 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group ("TD" or "the Bank") (TSX: TD) (NYSE: TD) today confirmed it entered into an amended Insured Deposit Account (IDA) Agreement with The Charles Schwab Corporation ("Schwab"). TD and Schwab amended the IDA to reflect the current market and interest rate environment. In comparison to the existing agreement, the revised agreement extends the term by three years to July 1, 2034, and provides for lower deposit balances in its first six years, for higher balances in the latter years. Specifically, until September 2025, the aggregate amount of fixed rate obligations will serve as the floor. Thereafter, the floor will be set at US$60 billion up from US$50 billion in the existing agreement.

This robust agreement provides TD with greater certainty around future deposit balances while providing Schwab additional flexibility and strengthening TD's partnership with Schwab.

"We are pleased to further extend our agreement with Schwab," said Bharat Masrani, Group President and CEO, TD Bank Group. "Our relationship with Schwab, one of the leading investment services firms in the U.S., delivers strategic and financial value to TD and our shareholders."

By their very nature, these forward-looking statements require the Bank to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific. Especially in light of the uncertainty related to the physical, financial, economic, political, and regulatory environments, such risks and uncertainties many of which are beyond the Bank's control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause, individually or in the aggregate, such differences include: strategic, credit, market (including equity, commodity, foreign exchange, interest rate, and credit spreads), operational (including technology, cyber security, and infrastructure), model, insurance, liquidity, capital adequacy, legal, regulatory compliance and conduct, reputational, environmental and social, and other risks.

The Bank cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Bank's results.
