Inapplicable

The shares of Common Stock are held for personal investment, except as noted in Item 5 below.

On November 24, 2019, the Issuer and TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (“TD Ameritrade”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, among the Issuer, TD Ameritrade and Americano Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (“Merger Sub” and such agreement, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, the Issuer has agreed to acquire the common stock of TD Ameritrade (the “Merger”).

Voting and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, TD Ameritrade entered into a voting and support agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Charles R. Schwab (“Mr. Schwab”) and certain related parties (Mr. Schwab and those related parties collectively, the “Stockholders”). The Voting Agreement requires, among other things, that the Stockholders (i) vote all of the shares of Common Stock they own in favor of the Share Issuance and the Charter Amendment (each as defined in the Merger Agreement), and against any competing transaction, (ii) prior to the approval of those matters by the stockholders of the Issuer, not transfer their shares of Common Stock on or prior to December 31, 2020, with certain exceptions, (iii) not solicit an alternative transaction or participate in discussions or negotiations regarding an alternative transaction, except when the Issuer is so permitted, and (iv) not participate in any litigation against the Issuer, Merger Sub or TD Ameritrade relating to the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the transactions. The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Registration Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Schwab, the Issuer and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian-chartered bank (“TD Bank”), entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), effective as of the closing of the Merger, that will provide Mr. Schwab, TD Bank and, if they so elect to be a party, certain other parties, up to three “demand” registrations in any 12-month period and customary “piggyback” registration rights. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Issuer will indemnify the registration rights holders against certain liabilities which may arise under the Securities Act. Once it becomes effective, the Registration Rights Agreement supersedes the existing Registration Rights and Stock Restriction Agreement, dated as of March 31, 1987, between the Issuer and Charles R. Schwab.

The foregoing summaries of the Voting Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibits 37 and 38, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are specifically incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.
