The Charles Schwab Corporation Announces Secondary Offering of Its Common Stock Held by an Affiliate of The Toronto-Dominion Bank; Plans $1.5 Billion Stock Repurchase

WESTLAKE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE: SCHW) (the “Company” or “Charles Schwab”) today announced the commencement of a secondary offering of its common stock through which TD Group US Holdings LLC, an affiliate of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD”), intends to exit its full investment in the Company. The shares being offered by TD will be sold in an underwritten public offering.

TD currently holds 184.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a 10.1% economic ownership.

Charles Schwab also announced today that it entered into a share repurchase agreement with TD, conditioned on the secondary offering, pursuant to which the Company agreed to repurchase $1.5 billion of its nonvoting common stock directly from TD, in a private transaction, at the price per share at which the shares of common stock are sold to the public in the secondary offering less the underwriting discount (the “Repurchase”). Closing of the Repurchase is expected to occur immediately following the completion of the public offering. The Repurchase will be made under the Company’s existing share repurchase program and will be funded by cash on hand. Following the completion of the Repurchase, the Company expects to have $7.2 billion remaining under its authorized program. Over the course of 2025, the Company expects to continue to pursue opportunistic repurchases where consistent with its expected progress on its key financial objectives.

Following the secondary offering and the Repurchase, TD will have disposed of all of its shares. Charles Schwab will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock.

The secondary offering will be led by TD Securities and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC.
