("TD Banknorth") in its definitive proxy statement dated March 16, 2007 and in a Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 21, 2007, TD Banknorth is considering various expense reductions and operational initiatives which are intended to improve its future operating performance. These initiatives are being taken in light of TD Banknorth's recent financial results, the intensely competitive environment for banking services, current economic conditions and TD Banknorth's going-private transaction and are intended to reduce its annual operating expenses by 5% to 8% ($50 to $80 million, respectively) by 2008. TD Banknorth announced that it expected to record pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $40 million to $100 million in 2007 in connection with these initiatives. As a part of these on-going initiatives, on April 18, 2007, the Board of Directors of TD Banknorth approved additional plans that will consolidate certain facilities, operations and employees in connection with the completion of TD Banknorth becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank. In connection with these actions, TD Banknorth expects to record a restructuring charge of approximately $16 million to $20 million, pre-tax, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
