TORONTO, Dec. 17 /CNW/ - TD Bank Financial Group (TDBFG) today reiterated
that it is willing to consider measures that support the orderly resolution of
the situation covered under what has been called the Montreal Accord.
    "TD is willing to consider measures that support attempts to resolve
liquidity issues in the financial markets. However, our position has been that
it would not be in the best interest of TD shareholders to assume incremental
risk for activities in which we were not involved," said Ed Clark, President
and CEO, TD Bank Financial Group.
    Following on comments made during its third and fourth quarter of 2007
earnings conference calls, TD Bank Financial Group further reiterated that it
does not have any exposure to non-bank sponsored Asset Backed Commercial Paper
(ABCP) products covered by the Montreal Accord. This includes holdings within
TD Mutual Funds and other money market funds managed by TD Asset Management
Inc. TD also noted that it did not distribute any related products to
customers through its systems.
    The Bank noted that markets for TDBFG-sponsored asset backed commercial
paper (ABCP) have continued to perform satisfactorily.
