TDb Split Corp. ("TDb Split") announces semi-annual financial
results for the six months ending May 31, 2009.
The six month period ending May 31, 2009 was one of the most
tumultuous periods in financial market history. The Company's only
underlying equity holding of TD Bank common stock hit a low of
$32.37 on February 20, 2009 (a decline of 53.1% since the inception
date of the Company) which required the Company to further reduce
the Company's holding of TD Bank Financial common stock and use the
proceeds to increase fixed income instruments held under the
Priority Equity Protection Plan as required under the prospectus.
The objective of the Priority Equity Protection Plan is to provide
repayment of the original $10 par value of the Priority Equity
shares. As at May 31, 2009, the net asset value of the Company was
$11.35 per unit (a unit consisting of one Priority Equity share and
one Class A share). As a result of the cumulative liquidation of a
portion of the TD Bank common shares to facilitate the requirements
of the Priority Equity Portfolio Protection Plan, the Company had
62.8% in TD Bank Financial common stock and the remaining 37.2% in
fixed income securities (plus cash) as at May 31, 2009.
The portfolio is continually rebalanced and adjusted based on
the market price of TD Bank common shares. The Company may buy or
sell additional shares of TD Bank, write covered call options, and
/or increase or decrease fixed income securities in the Priority
Equity Protection Plan based on market conditions and provided that
the Company remains in compliance with the Priority Equity
Protection Plan.
TDb Split invests in common shares of TD Bank, a leading
Canadian financial institution.
