TD Bank Financial Group appoints Frank McKenna as Deputy Chair
Former Ambassador to the U.S. McKenna brings unique blend of public and private sector experience to TD

Toronto, April 6, 2006 - TD Bank Financial Group (TDBFG) is pleased to announce the appointment of Frank McKenna as Deputy Chair of the Bank. In his new role, McKenna will be responsible for helping to build long-term business relationships that support the Bank’s growth strategy both in Canada and the United States. The appointment is effective May 1, 2006.

“We are thrilled that Frank will be adding his knowledge and expertise to our already strong senior executive team,” said TD’s President and CEO, Ed Clark. “Frank’s experience here in Canada and in the United States will be an asset to TD as we work to reinforce our market presence and grow our businesses in both countries,” added Clark.

Reporting to Ed Clark, McKenna will be responsible for supporting the Bank in its customer acquisition strategy, particularly in the area of Wholesale and Commercial banking. In addition, he will be responsible for representing TD as it works to expand its North American presence as one of the ten largest banks as measured by market capitalization.

“I’ve reached a point in my life where I want to be associated with projects and organizations that are important to me personally and that I think are important to Canada. Joining TD fulfilled both of those aspirations. My role at TD will be similar to work I’ve done over the last eight years for a variety of organizations, with the added benefit that I can now concentrate my efforts as part of one, integrated TD team with an unwavering focus on growth. It’s an incredibly exciting prospect and I look forward to working with Ed and his leadership team to contribute to such a successful and dynamic organization,” said McKenna.

First elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in 1982, McKenna became the Premier of New Brunswick in 1987. After serving as Premier for 10 years, McKenna returned to the practice of law and served on a number of corporate boards, before being appointed Canada’s Ambassador to the U.S. in 2005. McKenna graduated from St. Francis Xavier University with a Bachelor of Arts degree, completed his post-graduate studies in political science at Queen’s University and graduated from the University of New Brunswick Law School.
