Summary
Charles Schwab Corporation (SCHW) announced the completion of a significant secondary offering and share repurchase. TD Group US Holdings LLC, an affiliate of The Toronto-Dominion Bank, sold 165,443,530 shares of Schwab common stock at $79.25 per share, totaling approximately $13.1 billion. Crucially, Schwab itself did not receive any proceeds from this offering, as it was a sale by an existing stockholder. Concurrently, Schwab repurchased $1.5 billion of its nonvoting common stock directly from the selling stockholder in a private transaction. This transaction marks a substantial reduction in TD's ownership stake, with TD Group US Holdings LLC disposing of all its shares in Schwab. As a direct consequence, the TD stockholder agreement has terminated, and TD's designated board members, Brian M. Levitt and Bharat B. Masrani, have resigned from Schwab's board. This move signifies a complete disentanglement from TD's prior significant ownership position.
