TD Bank Announces Redemption of Class A First Preferred Shares, Series J

September 28, 2005 - TORONTO - The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the "Bank") announced today that it will exercise its right to redeem all of its 16,383,935 outstanding Class A First Preferred Shares, Series J (the "Series J Shares") on October 31, 2005 at the price per share of C$25.80 (for an aggregate total of approximately C$423 million). The redemption price represents a C$0.80 premium to the C$25.00 per share face price.

The $0.31875 per share quarterly dividend declared on August 25, 2005 will be the final dividend on the Series J Shares and will be paid in the usual manner on October 31, 2005 to shareholders of record on October 11, 2005, as previously announced. After October 31, 2005, the Series J Shares will cease to be entitled to dividends and the holders of such shares will not be entitled to exercise any right in respect thereof except that of receiving the redemption amount.

The Bank recommends shareholders consult with their tax advisors to determine the appropriate treatment and impact of the redemption. A general summary of the tax implications will be available shortly on our website, www.td.com, under Investor Information / Shares and Debt Information.

Instructions with respect to receipt of the redemption amount will be set out in the Letter of Transmittal to be mailed to registered holders of the Series J Shares shortly. Inquiries should be directed to our Registrar and Transfer Agent, CIBC Mellon Trust Company, at 1-800-387-0825 (or in Toronto 416-643-5500). Further details and instructions will be posted shortly to our website, www.td.com/investor/equity.jsp.
