SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In The Toronto-Dominion Bank To Contact The Firm Before Lead Plaintiff Deadline

NEW YORK, March 15, 2017 -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, reminds investors in The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD Bank” or the “Company”) (NYSE:TD) of the May 11, 2017 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action lawsuit filed against the Company and certain officers.

The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all those who purchased TD Bank securities between December 3, 2015 and March 9, 2017 (the “Class Period”).  The case, DURIGON v. THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK et al, No. 1:17-cv-01665 was filed on March 12, 2017, and has been assigned to Judge Noel Lawrence Hillman.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) the Company’s wealth asset growth and increased fee-based revenue was spurred by a performance management system that led to its employees breaking the law at their customer’s expense in order to meet sales targets; (2) the Company illicitly increased customer’s lines of credit and overdraft protection amounts without their knowledge, and illicitly upgraded customers to higher-fee accounts without informing them; (3) the Company lied to customers as to the risk of the Company’s products; and (4) as a result, the Company’s statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.

Specifically, on March 10, 2017, CBC News published a report on TD Bank revealing that unrealistic sales revenue goals have led employees to breaking the law at their customer’s expense in order to meet sales targets and keep their job.

On this news, TD Bank’s share price fell from $51.77 per share on March 9, 2017 to a closing price of $49.02 on March 10, 2017—a $2.75 or a 5.31.% drop.
