Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 11
hereby amends and supplements the statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D, relating to the
common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the Issuer
Common Stock)
of TD Banknorth Inc., a Delaware corporation (the Issuer)
initially filed on March 9, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on March 18, 2005,
Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on March 28, 2005, Amendment No. 3
thereto filed on July 18, 2005, Amendment No. 4 thereto filed on February 8, 2006, Amendment No. 5
thereto filed on March 3, 2006, Amendment No. 6 thereto filed on April 21, 2006, Amendment No. 7
thereto filed on October 24, 2006, Amendment No. 8 thereto filed on November 21, 2006,
Amendment No. 9 thereto filed on November 28, 2006 and Amendment No. 10 thereto
filed on January 4, 2007 (as amended, this Statement), by the reporting person, The Toronto-Dominion Bank,
a Canadian chartered bank (TD), with respect to the items set forth below.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:
(a)(i) As of February 27, 2007, TD was
the beneficial owner of 143,960,169 shares of Issuer Common Stock, representing approximately 59.4% of
the outstanding Issuer Common Stock, based on a total of 242,391,218 shares outstanding as of February 27, 2007,
as provided to TD by the Issuer. This amendment is being filed to correct the
ownership percentage reported in TD's most recent filing on Schedule 13D on January 4, 2007,
which inadvertently did not reflect the increase in the number of
shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of the 13 million shares of Issuer Common
Stock purchased by TD in connection with the acquisition by the Issuer of Interchange
Financial Services Corporation, as described in such prior filing. The percentage ownership
reported in such prior filing should have been 59.5% based on the number of
shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding on January 1, 2007, after giving effect to the issuance of such
shares. TDs percentage ownership decreased slightly since January 1, 2007,
due to an increase in the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding.
(ii) Except for Mr. Ryan,
Mr. Bennett and Mr. Prezzano, none of the individuals listed on Schedule I hereto
beneficially own any shares of Issuer Common Stock. Mr. Ryan beneficially owns 1,244,771 shares of
Issuer Common Stock, representing less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock.
This number includes 41,548 shares of Issuer Common Stock over which Mr. Ryan has voting power under the
Issuers 401(k) Plan and options to purchase 1,189,375 shares of Issuer Common Stock
granted pursuant to the Issuer's stock option plans, which options are exercisable within 60 days from the date hereof.
(c) Except for
purchases by Mr. Ryan as described below, neither TD nor, to the best of TDs knowledge,
any of the individuals named in Schedule 1 hereto, has engaged in any transaction in any
shares of Issuer Common Stock since the most recent amendment to the Statement by TD:
Mr. Ryan
made the following purchases of Issuer Common Stock under the Issuers 401(k) Plan: 169.6 shares
at $32.06 per share on January 8, 2007; 169 shares at $32.16 per share on January 22, 2007; 168.8 shares
at $32.20 per share on February 2, 2007; 230 shares at $32.19 per share on February 5, 2007; 278 shares
at $32.19 per share on February 15, 2007; and 168.6 shares at $32.26 per share on February 22, 2007.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of
the Issuer
Item 6 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:
On or about February 16, 2007, a memorandum of understanding was entered into by the parties
to the action In re TD Banknorth Shareholders Litigation, C.A. No. 2557-NC (Del. Ch., New Castle
County), which is a consolidated lawsuit comprising of six actions filed in the Delaware Court of
Chancery on November 20 and 21, 2006, on behalf of a putative class consisting of the public
stockholders of the Issuer, and naming the Issuer, its directors and TD as defendants. This action
seeks to challenge the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated November 19, 2006, among TD, Bonn Merger
Co., a newly formed Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD, and the Issuer and
the merger between the Issuer and Bonn Merger Co. contemplated thereby.
While the Issuer and TD believe that these lawsuits are without merit, they sought a
settlement in order to avoid the burdens and expense of further litigation. The memorandum of
understanding provides for the settlement of the six lawsuits comprising the consolidated action,
without admission of any wrongdoing by any of the defendants. Pursuant to the terms of the
memorandum of understanding, the parties agreed, among other things, that (i) certain executive
officers of TD will be treated as affiliates of TD for purposes of the requirement that the merger
agreement be approved by holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock not
owned by TD and its affiliates, (ii) the Issuer would make certain disclosures requested by the
plaintiffs, which disclosures will be reflected in the proxy statement filed by the Issuer in
connection with the merger, and (iii) TD will establish a settlement fund in an aggregate amount of
approximately $2.95 million. If the proposed settlement is finalized and approved, this settlement
fund amount would be paid on a pro rata basis to stockholders of the Issuer who receive the merger
consideration in the merger (an estimated $0.03 per share based upon the number of shares of Issuer
Common Stock outstanding on the record date). The memorandum of understanding further states that
the parties will enter into a stipulation of settlement, which will provide, among other things,
that the complaints in the six actions comprising the consolidated lawsuit will be dismissed with
prejudice, and that the final stipulation of settlement will contain a broad general release of all
claims that have been or could have been brought by members of the purported class in connection
with the merger. The proposed settlement is subject to a number of conditions, including successful
completion of confirmatory discovery and negotiation of definitive settlement documentation,
consummation of the merger, and final approval by the Delaware Court of Chancery following notice
to our stockholders.
