TORONTO, Aug. 16 /CNW/ - TD Bank Financial Group (TDBFG) today clarified
that it does not have any exposure to Asset Backed Commercial Paper (ABCP)
products covered by the agreement struck by a number of major players in
Canada's financial market. This includes holdings within TD Mutual Funds and
other money market funds managed by TD Asset Management Inc. In addition, the
Bank noted that TDBFG sponsored ABCP conduits continue to perform
satisfactorily with reasonable liquidity.
    TDBFG recognizes that there have been issues with non-bank sponsored
conduits. As a result, there was an announcement earlier today from some
institutions involved in that market to respond to issues with those conduits.
While this is separate and apart from bank-sponsored conduits, TDBFG is
supportive of initiatives designed to ensure the orderly conduct of financial
markets.
    "Like all financial institutions, TD Bank has an interest in the orderly
conduct of financial markets. We are supportive of attempts to resolve issues,
even if we are not directly involved and would encourage other financial
institutions to do the same," said Ed Clark, President and CEO, TD Bank
Financial Group.
    TD will report its third quarter earnings results on Thursday,
August 23rd, 2007. Until that time, TD does not anticipate providing further
comment during its quiet period.
