The board of directors has a policy requiring the separation of the roles of CEO and chairman of the board because the board of directors believes it improves the ability of the board to exercise its oversight role. Mr. Hockey served as the CEO during fiscal year 2019 and for the beginning of fiscal year 2020. In connection with the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with Schwab, Mr. Hockey stepped down as CEO and Mr. Boyle was appointed as the interim CEO, with primary responsibility for operational leadership and strategic direction of the Company. Mr. Moglia serves as chairman of the board, facilitating the board’s oversight of management, promoting communication between management and the board and engaging with shareholders. Key responsibilities of

the chairman include: setting the agenda for board meetings in consultation with other directors, the CEO, and the corporate secretary, facilitating the annual CEO performance evaluation, serving as a liaison between the board and senior management, conducting annual board interviews as part of the annual board evaluation process, and setting and maintaining board culture. The separation of the roles of CEO and chairman of the board does not affect risk oversight, which is the responsibility of the board of directors, primarily overseen by the Risk Committee.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the board of directors held ten meetings. During fiscal year 2019, each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the board of directors and meetings of the committees of the board of directors on which he or she served during the period in which he or she served, if any. Although the Company does not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at our annual meeting of stockholders, directors are encouraged to attend. All directors of the Company at the time of the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders attended the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

The board of directors has established six standing committees: Audit, H.R. and Compensation, Corporate Governance, Outside Independent Directors,

Non-TD

Directors, and Risk. The committee members are identified in the following table:

Audit Committee.

The functions performed by the Audit Committee are described in the Audit Committee charter and include: (1) overseeing the Company’s internal accounting controls and controls over financial reporting, including assessment of legal and compliance matters, (2) appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, reviewing the appointment of the Managing Director, General Auditor and assessing their performance on an ongoing basis, (3) reviewing the Company’s financial statements and audit issues and overseeing the financial and regulatory reporting processes and related risks, (4) performing other oversight functions as requested by the board of directors and (5) reporting its activities to the board of directors. The Audit Committee charter is available on the Company’s website at

www.amtd.com

under the governance section. All current Audit Committee members are independent as defined in the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The board of directors has determined that each Audit Committee member has sufficient knowledge in financial and auditing matters to serve on the committee and has designated Mses. Maidment, Hailey, and Miller, and Mr. Bettino as audit committee financial experts as defined by the SEC. The Company’s Audit Committee met ten times during fiscal year 2019.

H.R. and Compensation Committee

. The H.R. and Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) reviews and approves our compensation philosophy and policy and executive salary levels, bonus payments and equity awards pursuant to the Company’s management incentive plans and, in consultation with the Risk Committee, reviews compensation-related risks. The Compensation Committee also reviews the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, discusses it with management and makes a recommendation as to whether it should be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement or Form 10-K, as applicable. The Compensation Committee charter is available on the Company’s website at

www.amtd.com

under the governance section. All current Compensation Committee members are independent as defined in the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Compensation Committee met eight times during fiscal year 2019. The Compensation Committee Report appears under

Item 11 — Compensation Committee Report.

Corporate Governance Committee

. The primary purpose of the Corporate Governance Committee is to ensure that the Company has and follows appropriate governance standards. To carry out this purpose, the committee develops and recommends to the board of directors corporate governance principles and leads and oversees the annual self-evaluation of the board of directors and its committees. The Corporate Governance Committee also makes recommendations to the board of directors regarding compensation for

non-employee

directors by annually reviewing the market practice for

non-employee

director compensation for companies in its peer group, which this year was accomplished in consultation with Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC (“Semler Brossy”), an independent compensation consultant retained by the Compensation Committee. Semler Brossy assessed whether the Company’s

non-employee

director compensation program continues to be competitive with the market for qualified directors, incorporates best practices and aligns the interests of our

non-employee

directors with the long-term interests of our shareholders. The Company’s Corporate Governance Committee met four times during fiscal year 2019. The Corporate Governance Committee charter and the Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Company’s website at

www.amtd.com

under the governance section.

Outside Independent Directors Committee

. The Outside Independent Directors (“OID”) Committee’s purpose is to assist the board of directors in fulfilling the board’s oversight responsibilities by: (1) identifying individuals qualified to serve on the board of directors, (2) reviewing the qualifications of the members of the board and recommending nominees to fill board of director vacancies and (3) recommending a slate of nominees for election or reelection as directors by the Company’s stockholders at our annual meeting of stockholders to fill the seats of directors whose terms are expiring. The OID Committee reviews and approves (or ratifies) any related party transaction that is required to be disclosed by the Company. The OID Committee is also responsible for approving transfers of voting securities by TD that are not otherwise permitted by the Stockholders Agreement, approving qualifying transactions (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) and determining the fair market value (or selecting an independent investment banking firm to determine the fair market value) of certain property in connection with the stock purchase and transfer rights of TD set forth in the Stockholders Agreement. All current OID Committee members are independent as defined in the applicable listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company’s OID Committee met eight times during fiscal year 2019.

Written communications submitted by stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Stockholder Communications Policy recommending the nomination of a person to be a member of the Company’s board of directors will be forwarded to the chair of the OID Committee for consideration. The OID Committee will consider director candidates who have been identified by other directors or the Company’s stockholders, but it has no obligation to recommend such candidates for nomination, except as may be required by contractual obligation of the Company. Stockholders who submit director recommendations must include the following: (1) a detailed resume outlining the candidate’s knowledge, skills and experience, (2) a

one-page

summary of the candidate’s attributes, including a statement as to why the candidate is an excellent choice for the board of directors, (3) a detailed resume of the stockholder submitting the director recommendation and (4) the number of shares held by the stockholder, including the dates such shares were acquired.

The OID Committee charter establishes the following guidelines for identifying and evaluating candidates for selection to the board of directors:

1.	Decisions for recommending candidates for nomination are based on merit, qualifications, performance, character and integrity and the Company’s business needs and will comply with the Company’s antidiscrimination policies and federal, state and local laws.

The composition of the entire board of directors will be taken into account when evaluating individual directors, including: the diversity, depth and breadth of knowledge, skills, experience and background represented on the board of directors; the need for financial, business, financial industry, public company and other experience and expertise on the board of directors and its committees; and the need to have directors work cooperatively to further the interests of the Company and its stockholders.

3.	Candidates will be free of conflicts of interest that would interfere with their ability to discharge their duties as a director.

4.	Candidates will be willing and able to devote the time necessary to discharge their duties as a director and shall have the desire and purpose to represent and advance the interests of the Company and stockholders as a whole.

5.	Any other criteria as the OID Committee may determine.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the OID Committee charter, when the Company is legally required by contractual obligation to provide third parties with the right to nominate directors (including pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, discussed under Item 12 — Stockholders Agreement), the selection and nomination of such directors is not subject to the committee’s review and recommendation process. The OID Committee charter is available on the Company’s website at

www.amtd.com

under the governance section.

Non-TD Directors Committee

. The

Non-TD

Directors Committee is composed of all of the directors not designated by TD. The purpose of this committee is to make determinations relating to any acquisition by the Company of a competing business (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) owned by TD. The

Non-TD

Directors Committee did not meet during fiscal year 2019.

Risk Committee

. The Risk Committee was formed for the purpose of assisting the board of directors in its oversight responsibilities relating to the identification, monitoring and assessment of the key risks of the Company, including the significant policies, procedures and practices employed in risk management. The Risk Committee met six times during fiscal year 2019. The Risk Committee charter is available on the Company’s website at

www.amtd.com

under the governance section.

Strategic Development Committee

. In addition to the standing committees of the board of directors, in connection with the board of directors’ consideration and evaluation of a potential business combination transaction between the Company and Schwab, the board of directors formed a Strategic Development Committee composed solely of independent and disinterested directors and appointed Mr. Tessler, as Chairman, and Ms. Hailey and Mr. Mitchell as the members of the Strategic Development Committee. The board of directors authorized, empowered and directed the Strategic Development Committee to exercise all power and authority of the Company’s board of directors that may be delegated by law to, among other things, (i) investigate a potential business combination transaction between TD Ameritrade and Schwab as the Strategic Development Committee deemed appropriate, (ii) evaluate the terms of such transaction, (iii) negotiate the terms of any definitive agreement with respect to such transaction, (iv) report to the Company’s board of directors its recommendations and conclusions with respect to such transaction, including a determination and recommendation as to whether the transaction is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders other than TD Bank and its affiliates, and (v) determine whether or not to pursue a potential business combination transaction with Schwab. The Company’s board of directors also resolved not to approve or recommend any such transaction without a prior favorable recommendation from the Strategic Development Committee.

Code of Ethics

The Company has a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all employees and the board of directors. A copy of this code is publicly available on the Company’s website at

www.amtd.com

under the governance section and as Exhibit 14 of the Company’s quarterly report on Form

10-Q

filed with the SEC on February 4, 2011.

Stockholder Communications Policy

Stockholders and interested parties may communicate with any member of the board of directors, including the chair of any committee, an entire committee or the independent directors or all directors as a group, by sending written communications to:

Corporate Secretary

TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation

6940 Columbia Gateway Drive

Columbia, Maryland 21046

A stockholder must include his, her or its name and address in any such written communication and indicate whether he, she or it is a Company stockholder.

The corporate secretary will compile all communications, summarize lengthy, repetitive or duplicative communications and forward them to the appropriate director or directors.

Written communications submitted by stockholders recommending the nomination of a person to be a member of the Company’s board of directors will be forwarded to the chair of the OID Committee.

Item 11.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Named Executive Officers

This section is an executive summary of fiscal year 2019 compensation for our CEO, our chief financial officer (“CFO”) and each of our other three most highly compensated executive officers employed at the end of fiscal year 2019. We refer to these individuals as our named executive officers (“NEOs”). The following lists our NEOs for fiscal year 2019 and the positions they held during fiscal year 2019:

•	Tim Hockey, President and CEO

•	Stephen J. Boyle, Executive Vice President, CFO

•	Peter J. deSilva, Executive Vice President, Retail Distribution

•	Thomas A. Nally, Executive Vice President, Institutional Services

•	Steven M. Quirk, Executive Vice President, Trading and Education

On July 22, 2019, the Company announced that Mr. Hockey would be stepping down from his role as president, CEO and as a member of the board, effective upon the date that his successor commences employment, but in no event later than February 29, 2020. In connection with such transition, the Company and Mr. Hockey entered into a transition agreement modifying certain terms of his employment arrangements, as discussed further below.

Further, on November 25, 2019, in connection with the pending acquisition of the Company by Schwab, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Boyle as the interim president and CEO and Jon C. Peterson as the interim CFO. Per his transition agreement, Mr. Hockey will continue service with the Company until February 29, 2020, as a senior advisor to Mr. Boyle in his capacity as interim president and CEO. For more information on the Schwab transaction, please refer to Item 12 — Change in Control.

Executive Compensation Program Highlights for Fiscal Year 2019

At the Company’s 2019 annual stockholder meeting, fiscal year 2018 NEO compensation was approved on a

non-binding

advisory basis, with more than 99% support for the

say-on-pay

proposal, a similar level of support as the previous year. Taking the strong vote results into account, in conjunction with stockholder views expressed directly to the Company, the Compensation Committee decided to maintain the same core principles for the fiscal year 2019 executive compensation program.

As such, consistent with the Company’s executive compensation principles and strong commitment to pay for performance, the majority of our NEOs’ fiscal 2019 total compensation packages required achievement of

pre-set

annual performance objectives.

Changes for Fiscal 2019:

Though the core principles of the compensation program remain unchanged, following a review of the incentive plan design and its alignment with our business strategy, the Committee identified an opportunity to update several of the performance measures and relative metric weightings in the annual incentive plan to further align incentives with business strategy. Detail on these updates may be found on page 24.

Additionally, since fiscal 2016, our long-term incentive program has consisted entirely of performance-based RSUs that vest three years after grant, the final value of which is contingent upon three-year total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance relative to the New York Stock Exchange Archipelago (“NYSE Arca”) Securities Broker/Dealer Index. For fiscal 2019, in consideration of the anticipated acquisition of the Company by Schwab, the Compensation Committee decided to deliver long-term incentive awards in the form of service-based RSUs in order to effectively and appropriately drive performance and retention in the coming months given that the anticipated acquisition timing presents significant challenges to the operation of a normative three-year performance period with an incentive outcome based largely on fundamental Company performance. Detail on these updates may be found on page 26.

Our CEO’s and other NEOs’ targeted total annual compensation (i.e., base salary, target cash incentive and target equity incentive) for fiscal year 2019 was heavily weighted toward elements that were subject to performance objectives:

Fiscal Year 2019 Named Executive Officer

Target Total Annual Compensation

(1)


Chief Executive Officer		NEO Average (Excluding CEO) (2)

(1)

Target cash incentive and target equity incentive are amounts established by the Compensation Committee based on performance under the Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) during fiscal year 2019. Any equity awards under the fiscal year 2019 MIP were granted following the completion of the fiscal year 2019 performance period, in early fiscal year 2020. These elements required achievement of performance goals before they could be paid or granted.

(2)	Each element of compensation comprising the target total annual compensation for the NEOs, other than the CEO, is based on the average among the NEOs (other than Mr. Hockey).

Key Performance Highlights and Pay for Performance Results for Fiscal Year 2019

The Company’s results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019 include the following:

•

Record net new client assets of approximately $93 billion, a year-over-year growth rate of 7 percent

•

Record average client trades per day of approximately 862,000, up 6 percent year over year

•

Record net revenues of $6 billion, up 10 percent year over year

•

Ending client assets of approximately $1.3 trillion, up 2 percent year over year

•

$3.96 in GAAP earnings per diluted share, up 53 percent year over year, on net income of $2.21 billion

•

$4.13 in

non-GAAP

earnings per diluted share, up 24 percent year over year. For a discussion of this measure and a reconciliation to the related GAAP measure, refer to Appendix A

As further described below, the corporate performance component of the MIP consisted of the following metrics and weightings: 40%

non-GAAP

earnings per share, 25% client experience, 20% revenue and market share, and 15% other strategic themes. The Committee reviewed the Company’s performance against

pre-established

targets and objectives for each of these metrics. Consistent with the Company’s commitment to its pay for performance philosophy under its executive compensation program, the Company’s strong performance in fiscal year 2019 resulted in funding of the corporate performance component at 107.1% of target, and the final individual incentive payouts under the MIP to our NEOs ranged from 105.7% to 111.0%.

Executive Compensation Governance Highlights

Consistent with our guiding principles underlying our executive compensation program, we observe the following practices:


☑ Review executive compensation in comparison to peer group		☑ Employ double-trigger vesting acceleration change-in-control provisions

☑ Measure, manage and reward based on performance goals that drive our short- and long-term business strategy		☑ Prohibit repricing stock options without stockholder approval

☑ Maintain a pay mix that is heavily performance-based		☑ Prohibit hedging of stock

☑ Maintain stock ownership guidelines for executives		☑ Prohibit pledging of stock

☑ Maintain a clawback policy		☑ No golden parachute excise tax gross-ups to executives

☑ Conduct annual risk assessments of our executive compensation policies and practices		☑ No material perquisites

☑ Hold an annual shareholder say-on-pay advisory vote		☑ No supplemental executive retirement plans (SERPs)

☑ Engage an independent compensation consultant that reports directly to our Compensation Committee

☑ Permit use of negative discretion to decrease incentive compensation

1. Role of the Compensation Committee and Board

The Compensation Committee is composed of

non-employee

directors of the board. No member of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2019 was an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at the time of his service on the Compensation Committee. Each member of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2019 was intended to qualify as a

“non-employee

director” under rule

16b-3

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and as an “outside director” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

The Compensation Committee reviews, assesses and approves all compensation and benefits for executive officers and, in consultation with the Risk Committee, reviews compensation-related risks. The board of directors evaluates the performance of the CEO and reviews and provides input on the Compensation Committee’s compensation recommendation. The Compensation Committee then approves the CEO’s compensation. The CEO and the Compensation Committee together assess the performance of each of the other NEOs and then the Compensation Committee approves final recommendations from the CEO.

2. Role of Compensation Consultants and Management

Beginning in May 2018, the Compensation Committee retained Semler Brossy as its independent compensation consultant to assist the Compensation Committee in its oversight of the design and operation of the Company’s executive compensation programs. During fiscal year 2018 as well as fiscal year 2019, Semler Brossy advised the Compensation Committee on best practices for executive compensation and governance, among other activities. Semler Brossy worked directly with the Compensation Committee (and not on behalf of management) to assist the Compensation Committee in satisfying its responsibilities. Semler Brossy performed no other consulting or other services for the Company.

The Compensation Committee also requests the attendance at its meetings of any members of management that it deems appropriate or advisable. Typically, and for fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee received input from the CEO to assess the individual performance of the NEOs other than the CEO and regarding plan design and objective setting.

The Compensation Committee has delegated to our CEO the authority to increase the compensation of, and grant equity awards to, any employee participating in the MIP, except for executive officers and any other employees whose total target compensation equals or exceeds $1 million per year, subject in each case to any increase or grant being (1) within the budget previously approved by the Compensation Committee, and (2) in accordance with the terms of the applicable compensation plan.

3. Guiding Principles

The objective of the executive compensation plans is to attract, retain and motivate high-performing executives to create sustainable long-term value for stockholders. To achieve this objective, the Company and the Compensation Committee used the following guiding principles when evaluating executive compensation policies and decisions:

Alignment with the Company’s Business Strategy

•	Executive compensation is linked to the achievement of specific short- and long-term strategic business objectives and the Company’s overall performance.

•	Compensation plans are linked to key business drivers that support long-term stockholder value creation.

Alignment with Stockholders’ Interests

•	The interests of executives are appropriately aligned with those of stockholders over the long-term through policy and plan design.

•	Stock ownership guidelines are used to more closely align the interests of executives with those of stockholders over the long term.

•	As an executive increases in seniority, an increasing percentage of total compensation consists of equity-based awards to more closely align the interests of the executive with those of our stockholders, to aid in retention and to focus executives on sustainable long-term performance.

Risk Management

•	Compensation plan design should not create an incentive for excessive risk-taking and each plan is reviewed on at least an annual basis to determine that it is operating as intended.

•	Incentive compensation is subject to risk of forfeiture in accordance with the clawback policy.

Pay for Performance

•	Clear relationships should exist between executive compensation and performance. Compensation should reward both corporate and individual performance.

•	Total compensation includes a meaningful variable component that is linked to key business objectives and the Company’s overall performance.

•	A substantial portion of variable compensation is awarded in the form of equity-based awards.

•	Equity awards are generally granted based on the achievement of annual performance goals and are subject to service-based or service and performance-based vesting.

•	The Compensation Committee has the ability to exercise negative discretion to reduce incentive compensation.

Pay Competitively

•	Competitive data on market compensation, adjusted to reflect scope of responsibility or other factors specific to the executive, is considered when establishing compensation targets.

4. Peer Group

The Company operates in the highly competitive financial services sector, with a leadership position in retail securities brokerage services. The overall compensation program is designed to closely align the interests of executives with those of our stockholders and be competitive with the compensation practices of financial services companies with characteristics similar to the Company.

The Committee references a peer group of similar companies when reviewing executive compensation. The peer group in effect in fiscal year 2018 consisted of the following:

Fiscal Year 2018 Peer Group



Ameriprise Financial, Inc.	Fifth Third Bancorp	NASDAQ, Inc.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.	Franklin Resources, Inc.	Northern Trust Company

Charles Schwab Corporation	Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.	Raymond James Financial, Inc.

CME Group Inc.	Invesco, Ltd.	T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.

Comerica Incorporated	Legg Mason, Inc.

E*TRADE Financial Corporation	LPL Financial Holdings Inc.

For fiscal year 2019, the Committee requested that Semler Brossy conduct an independent review of the peer group. The criteria for reviewing and determining the companies comprising the peer group for fiscal year 2019 were industry, market capitalization, revenue, geography, organizational complexity and competition for talent. Based on this review, SEI Investments and Stifel Financial Corporation were added to the peer group and Comerica Incorporated and Fifth Third Bancorp were removed, effective November 2018. The Compensation Committee agreed with Semler Brossy’s assessment that the two companies that were removed, as regional banks, were not as well-aligned with the Company’s businesses; the two additions were chosen for having relatively stronger business alignment with the Company. As part of its review, Semler Brossy also presented to the Compensation Committee the lists of companies comprising peer groups identified by proxy advisors with respect to the Company and public companies that include the Company in their peer groups. The peer group was updated as part of the process for considering the fiscal year 2019 executive compensation program.

The peer group for fiscal year 2019 consisted of the following:

Fiscal Year 2019 Peer Group



Ameriprise Financial, Inc.	Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.	Raymond James Financial, Inc.

Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.	Invesco, Ltd.	SEI Investments Company

Charles Schwab Corporation	Legg Mason, Inc.	Stifel Financial Corporation

CME Group Inc.	LPL Financial Holdings Inc.	T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.

E*TRADE Financial Corporation	NASDAQ, Inc.

Franklin Resources, Inc.	Northern Trust Company

With input from Semler Brossy, the Committee reviewed peer group composition again for fiscal year 2020; no changes were made to the group above.

5. Elements of Compensation

Target Total Compensation

Target total annual compensation for our NEOs consists of: (1) base salary and (2) incentive compensation awarded under the MIP, which is comprised of cash and equity. Each of these elements of compensation, as well as the compensation package as a whole, is intended to enable the Company to remain competitive in attracting and retaining talented individuals. While base salaries are provided to reward executives on a

day-to-day

basis for their time and services, the incentive compensation links the executives’ compensation to the achievement of the

Company’s business strategy and stockholders’ interests. For fiscal year 2019 compensation, these target total compensation levels were developed using market data from our peer group and other financial services compensation data obtained from human resources consulting firms, such as McLagan and Willis Towers Watson. The market data considered as part of the competitive review reflect executive responsibilities that were similar to the responsibilities of our executive officers, where available. While the Compensation Committee did not target a specific percentile or otherwise benchmark any key elements of the NEOs’ compensation to the market data, it did review a range of market data and generally compared compensation to the market median.

During late fiscal year 2018, Semler Brossy reviewed the market compensation information prepared by management and confirmed the market data as an appropriate point of reference in setting target total compensation for fiscal year 2019.

A significant portion of each executive’s target total compensation is performance-based or “at risk.” The “at risk” portion includes the annual cash incentive and the annual equity incentive, which are awarded on the basis of performance during the year. If the Company’s or individual’s performance is below target, “at risk” compensation may decrease. Conversely, if the Company’s or individual’s performance is above target, “at risk” compensation may increase.

The equity incentive compensation target is established so that a meaningful portion of total compensation is awarded as equity that vests subject to continued service or service and performance-based conditions. The target mix between cash and equity is based on target total compensation level, with the portion that is awarded as equity generally increasing as target total compensation increases. This practice, combined with stock ownership guidelines, promotes retention and focuses executives on executing business strategies, sustaining performance and growing value for stockholders over the long term.

Each NEO had target total annual compensation for fiscal year 2019 as follows:

Fiscal Year 2019 Target Total Annual Compensation



Name	Base Salary ($)		Target Cash Incentive ($)		Target Equity Incentive ($)		Target Total Incentive ($)		Target Total Annual Compensation ($)		Performance-based Portion of Target Annual Compensation

Peter J. deSilva (3)		650,000		1,075,000		1,075,000		2,150,000		2,800,000		77	%
Thomas A. Nally (4)		650,000		1,075,000		1,075,000		2,150,000		2,800,000		77	%
Steven M. Quirk (5)		500,000		1,050,000		1,050,000		2,100,000		2,600,000		81	%

(2)	Mr. Boyle’s base salary was increased from $450,000 to $500,000, and his target total incentive compensation was increased from $1.75 million to $2 million, which continued to consist of 50% cash and 50% equity.

(3)	Mr. deSilva’s target total incentive compensation was increased from $2 million to $2.15 million, which continued to consist of 50% cash and 50% equity.

(4)	Mr. Nally’s base salary was increased from $500,000 to $650,000.

(5)	Mr. Quirk’s base salary was increased from $450,000 to $500,000, and his target total incentive compensation was increased from $1.55 million to $2.1 million, which continued to consist of 50% cash and 50% equity.

The increases in target compensation for fiscal year 2019 were determined by the Compensation Committee after considering a number of factors. Specifically, for each individual the Compensation Committee reviewed the market data for the role, the individual’s performance and potential shifts in the role’s scope and responsibilities. Adjustments were generally intended to more closely align target compensation levels with market pay for comparable positions.

Consistent with the Company’s overall compensation principles, a large percentage of the total compensation package is awarded only after performance objectives set by the Compensation Committee have been met.

In addition, the performance-based portion of target total annual compensation is divided between the cash incentive and the equity incentive. A greater proportion of the incentive is delivered in equity for more senior executives. For our CEO, 30% of his total incentive is paid in cash and 70% is paid in equity. For our other NEOs, 50% of their incentive is paid in cash and 50% is paid in equity. Any equity awards that are granted are scheduled to vest subject to continued service or service and performance-based conditions.

Annual Incentive Award under the MIP

Our MIP, reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, supports our pay for performance philosophy, with the objective of driving the business strategy for which each executive is most responsible and which is critical for sustaining the long-term growth of the Company.

Through the equity component of the plan, detailed below, we promote closer alignment of each executive’s interests to the long-term growth of the Company. Based on

pre-established

targets for non-GAAP earnings

per share (“EPS”), revenue and market share, client experience, and other strategic themes, the Compensation Committee believes that the design provides for a balanced assessment of short- and long-term performance.

In fiscal year 2018, the Compensation Committee requested that management and Semler Brossy conduct a review of the existing incentive program design for fiscal 2019. As a result of that review, the Compensation Committee approved several updates to the metrics and weighting for the annual incentives to more fully align compensation with the Company’s strategic objectives. The fiscal year 2019 incentive funding formula emphasized key short-term, quantitative results and further supported the delivery of a superior client experience. The Compensation Committee intended the new design to emphasize critical drivers of the Company’s longer-term strategic and financial success (client experience and other strategic themes) and measures of the Company’s short-term operational success

(non-GAAP

EPS, revenue and market share). The incentive funding formula the Compensation Committee approved for the MIP for fiscal year 2019 is illustrated in the following diagram.

Specifically, the following changes were made to the metrics for the fiscal year 2019 program:

•

The individual performance component was shifted from a modifier to a discrete metric, weighted 20% for the CEO and 30% for all other NEOs; the remaining portion of the MIP is based on achievement of corporate metrics and objectives, which was based 40% on

non-GAAP

EPS, 25% on client experience, 20% on revenue and market share metrics, and 15% on other strategic themes.

•

The weighting of

non-GAAP

EPS as a key metric of short-term earning was reduced overall, though it remains the largest component of corporate objectives.

•

Client experience and absolute revenue were added to the corporate objectives as discrete metrics.

•

Net new assets (or NNA), which is included as a metric under revenue and market share, is now measured on the basis of market share, rather than on absolute results, as had been the case in prior years.

•

Qualitative strategic themes were also shifted from a modifier to a discrete metric to reinforce the importance of strategic themes to long-term strategy. Strategic themes for fiscal year 2019 include goals around organizational agility and efficiency, associate experience, and increased competitiveness through innovation.

Though the metrics and weightings have been updated, the incentive program maintains the same fundamental principles and overall structure as prior years. These metrics were all intended to incentivize management to drive Company performance in closer alignment with long-term stockholder interests. As with fiscal year 2018, the incentive program for fiscal year 2019 reserved for the Compensation Committee its right to reduce the payout percentage initially determined by the achievement of the corporate performance goals. In addition, the program retained the Compensation Committee’s ability to exercise further negative discretion to reduce or eliminate incentive payments to executives.

Fiscal Year 2019 MIP Incentive Funding Formula

At the end of fiscal 2019, the Committee reviewed management’s progress on each of the four corporate performance metrics

(non-GAAP

EPS, revenue and market share, client experience and other strategic themes). The Committee evaluated the Company’s performance against rigorous,

pre-established

financial targets and qualitative objectives, as applicable for each metric. It then approved the table below, resulting in a corporate funding percentage of 107.1% of target. The performance goals and corresponding funding percentages for each of these measures are summarized below:

The Company’s

non-GAAP

diluted EPS, an important measure of our financial performance, weighted at 40% of the corporate performance metrics under the MIP, was adjusted downward by the Compensation Committee to $4.08 (from $4.13) to account for items that were not reflective of operational performance such as unplanned accounting policy adjustments and interest rates changes. Similarly, revenue was adjusted from $6.016b to $5.928b. The Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate to make a downward adjustment to better reflect the results delivered to stockholders and preserve the intent of the

pre-established

performance goals, which were set before the occurrence of these unplanned events.

(2)	Total funding capped at 150%. In addition, the Compensation Committee reserves the right to reduce total to 0%.

(3)	Below threshold performance results in 0% payout.

After the performance goals are measured, the Compensation Committee may use negative discretion to reduce the payout. No negative discretion was used during fiscal year 2019, resulting in a final performance percentage of 107.1% for the corporate portion of the MIP.

A portion of each executive officer’s final payout also is subject to an evaluation of individual performance against preset goals and objectives for the fiscal year: 20% for the CEO, and 30% for other NEOs. Final performance is determined by the Compensation Committee for the CEO, and by the Committee with input from the CEO for other NEOs. For Mr. Hockey, the transition agreement entered into between the Company and him during fiscal year 2019 (discussed further below) in connection with his transition from the CEO role, provided for his individual performance for fiscal year 2019 to be deemed satisfied in full at 100% target achievement. One of the key factors considered in determining the fiscal year 2019 achievement for each of the other NEOs was the demonstrated contributions toward the team effort critical for supporting a seamless and successful transition of the CEO. In recognition of these efforts during fiscal year 2019, the individual performance percentage for fiscal year 2019 for each NEO other than Mr. Hockey was determined to be 120%.

The final payout percentage is capped at 150% of the NEO’s target annual incentive opportunity, and except with respect to Mr. Hockey’s fiscal year 2019 annual incentive opportunity, as specified in his transition agreement, the Compensation Committee further retained the discretion to lower any

individual officer’s payout to zero for a given year. Following the completion of fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee determined the payout of annual incentive compensation as depicted in the chart below:

Fiscal Year 2019 Management Incentive Plan Individual and Final Performance Percentage


	Corporate Performance Weighting (A)			Corporate Achievement as a Percent of Target (B)			Individual Component Weighting (C)			Individual Achievement as a Percent of Target (D)			Total Payout as a Percent of Target (A x B) + (C x D)
Tim Hockey		80	%		107.1	%		20	%		100.0	%		105.7	%

Stephen J. Boyle		70	%		107.1	%		30	%		120.0	%		111.0	%

Steven M. Quirk		70	%		107.1	%		30	%		120.0	%		111.0	%

Long-Term Incentive Awards under the MIP

As described above under “Elements of Compensation,” a

pre-set

portion of the annual incentive award earned under the MIP is granted in equity under the LTIP. Equity awards are used to motivate, reward and retain key executives and to align their interests more closely to those of stockholders. Equity awards are granted under the MIP to the extent that the

pre-established

performance measures under the MIP have been achieved. As described above under “Fiscal Year 2019 MIP Incentive Funding Formula,” equity incentives may be initially funded (i.e., granted) between 0% and 150% of target.

For fiscal year 2019, the equity incentives were granted as restricted stock units (“RSUs”). These RSUs are scheduled to vest in

one-third

annual installments and were not subject to a

TSR-related

performance criteria. This approach varied from fiscal year 2018, whereby upon completion of the fiscal year 2018 incentive program, our NEOs were granted PRSUs that vest subject to a three-year cliff vesting period, and are further adjusted up or down by up to 20% based on the Company’s cumulative three-year TSR relative to the components of the NYSE Arca Securities Broker/Dealer Index (as determined at the time of grant). When the Compensation Committee approved the grants of PRSUs for fiscal year 2018, it believed that this equity incentive design further aligned the long-term interests of executives with those of our stockholders. For fiscal year 2019, the Compensation Committee’s decision to approve RSU grants included consideration of the proposed acquisition of the Company by Schwab. The Compensation Committee recognized that the anticipated acquisition timing presents significant challenges to the operation of a normative three-year performance period with an incentive outcome based largely on fundamental Company performance. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee eliminated the TSR goal for the fiscal year 2019 equity incentives.

In addition to granting RSUs under the MIP for fiscal year 2019 performance, the Compensation Committee also granted discretionary,

one-time

RSU awards to Messrs. Nally and Quirk (as discussed further below under “Actions Since End of Fiscal Year 2019”). These RSU grants were awarded in order to further strengthen the retention incentives for these executive officers in consideration of the previously planned CEO transition. The RSUs are scheduled to vest over three years in equal, annual installments.

RSU and PRSU awards are automatically increased by the number of units equivalent to the value of any cash dividends paid while the awards are outstanding (based on the target amount of the award). Dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”) are subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying award. The vesting of these awards may accelerate upon certain events, as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” later in this section.

The following table sets forth total cash and equity compensation earned by our NEOs for fiscal year 2019 performance.

Total Actual Cash and Equity Compensation

(1)	Mr. Boyle deferred 100% of this amount pursuant to the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Program.

(2)	These equity incentive awards were granted in fiscal year 2020. As a result, they are not included in the Summary Compensation Table or the Grants of Plan-based Awards and Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End tables later in this section.

Scottrade Appreciation Right Award

Prior to our acquisition of Scottrade, Mr. deSilva received from Scottrade a Scottrade Appreciation Right Award (“SAR award”), that provided for the potential to earn certain cash bonuses. During fiscal year 2019, Mr. deSilva’s SAR award paid out a total of $724,938, which consisted of amounts that became payable based on certain performance results in 2016 and 2017 and that vested in part in fiscal year 2019 based on continued employment. As of September 30, 2019, the remaining unvested amounts under Mr. deSilva’s SAR award totaled $423,548. The unvested amount vested on December 31, 2019, due to Mr. deSilva’s continued employment with the Company through the vesting date, as described in further detail below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” Upon joining TD Ameritrade, Mr. deSilva no longer accrues future payments under his SAR award.

Other Key Changes During Fiscal Year 2019

On July 22, 2019, Mr. Hockey and the board of directors agreed that Mr. Hockey would step down as president, CEO and as a member of the board, effective upon the earlier of February 29, 2020 (the “transition date”) or the date that his successor commences employment. In order to help ensure a smooth transition, the Company and Mr. Hockey entered into a transition agreement on July 22, 2019, modifying certain terms of Mr. Hockey’s employment agreement previously entered into between the Company and Mr. Hockey.

Subsequent to the fiscal year end, on November 25, 2019, in connection with the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with Schwab, the Company announced the appointment of Mr. Boyle as the interim president and CEO. Mr. Hockey has transitioned to a role as senior advisor to the Company, which includes providing transition services as a special advisor to Mr. Boyle through the transition date. While Mr. Hockey remains employed during the transition period, he will continue to receive his base salary at the current rate of $1 million per year. Mr. Hockey will not participate in the MIP for fiscal 2020, as his employment will be terminating, pursuant to his transition agreement, before the fiscal year’s end. His compensation for fiscal 2020 is specified in his transition agreement, as described further below.

The terms of Mr. Hockey’s transition agreement modifying his employment arrangements with the Company are provided in further detail below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in

Control.” Certain key changes that have occurred after fiscal year 2019, including the transition of our CEO, are described further below under “Actions Since End of Fiscal Year 2019.”

6. Clawback Policy

We maintain a clawback policy that applies to certain incentive compensation provided to our NEOs, including compensation under the MIP and LTIP. The MIP permits the “clawback” of any cash incentive awards, and the Company’s equity agreements permit the clawback of awards granted pursuant to the MIP and LTIP if the Compensation Committee determines, within three years of the grant date of the award, that certain conduct has occurred. Generally, under the terms of the clawback policy, an executive who is involved in fraud or willful misconduct that results in a restatement of the Company’s financial statements or who commits an act of fraud, negligence or breach of fiduciary duty resulting in material loss, damage or injury to the Company can be required to: (1) forfeit and transfer to the Company, at no cost to the Company, any unvested equity awards and any shares of common stock issued in connection with vested equity awards and (2) repay to the Company any cash incentive awarded under the MIP or any gain realized from the disposition of any such shares of common stock awarded under the LTIP.

7. Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee, together with the Risk Committee, assessed the Company’s incentive compensation plans and concluded that our compensation plans and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Management assessed all of the Company’s executive, sales and broad-based compensation plans to determine if any provisions or practices create undesired or unintentional risk of a material nature. This risk assessment process included a review of plan design, including business drivers and performance measures. Incentive compensation plan design varies across business units based on differing goals established for business units. Incentive compensation targets are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary.

8. Stock Ownership Guidelines and Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policy

The Compensation Committee and the board of directors strongly believe that senior executives should own a significant amount of Company

common stock. This provides a direct and continuing alignment of financial interests between executives and stockholders.

The stock ownership guidelines for the NEOs are as follows:

•

ten times base salary for the CEO, and

•

five times base salary for all other NEOs.

These executive officers are not permitted to sell any equity interest in the Company until they meet their respective stock ownership guidelines, after which the CEO must obtain prior approval from the Compensation Committee and all other senior executives must obtain prior approval from the CEO. In determining whether the stock ownership guidelines have been met, the Company considers any stock held without restrictions, unvested RSUs and PRSUs, vested but unexercised in-the-money stock options, deferred compensation that is scheduled to settle based on the price of the Company’s common stock and common stock held under the Company’s 401(k) plan. All NEOs for fiscal 2019, with the exception of Mr. deSilva, who joined the company in September 2017, met the stock ownership guidelines as of the end of fiscal year 2019.

The Company’s trading policy, which applies to all officers, employees, contractors and temporary or agency associates, prohibits anyone subject to the policy from entering into hedging or pledging transactions involving the Company’s common stock. The trading policy specifically prohibits any short sales and engaging in strategies using options on Company securities.

9. Change in Control and Severance Provisions

Our senior executive team has been instrumental to the success of the Company, and we believe it is important to provide certain benefits to them in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment, including in connection with a change in control. We believe that the interests of our stockholders are best served if the interests of senior management are closely aligned with them, and providing change in control benefits should minimize any reluctance of senior management to pursue change in control transactions that may be in the best interest of our stockholders. Equity awards under the MIP generally will vest upon certain qualifying terminations of employment by the Company within a specified period after a change in control. Our executive officers are not automatically entitled to any single-trigger vesting acceleration

upon a change in control. Rather, our employment arrangements and our executive compensation practices (described later in this section under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”) require a termination of employment under specified circumstances in connection with or following a change in control for any vesting acceleration to apply. We utilize this dual-trigger change in control provision because we believe that triggering vesting acceleration simply because a change in control has occurred is not in the Company’s or stockholders’ best interests.

The pending acquisition by Schwab will, if consummated, constitute a “change in control” under the terms of the LTIP and certain employment arrangements with our NEOs, as discussed further below under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

The Company also provides severance benefits in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment outside of the context of a change in control. The Company believes that these arrangements provide assurances of specified transition and/or severance benefits to our executive officers whose termination of employment may be triggered at any time. These benefits are intended to secure our executive officers’ continued dedication to their work, notwithstanding the possibility of termination of employment, and provides the executive officers with an incentive to continue employment with us.

10. Tax Treatment

In determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee considers the possible tax consequences to the Company and to its executives. To maintain maximum flexibility in designing compensation programs, the Compensation Committee, while considering tax deductibility as one of its factors in determining compensation, does not limit compensation to those levels or types of compensation that are intended to be deductible.

Certain compensation previously paid to executive officers under the MIP, and certain equity awards that previously vested, were and are intended to be fully deductible under the “performance-based” compensation exception (discussed below) previously provided by Section 162(m) of the Code. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”), for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, Section 162(m) of the Code

limits to $1 million the federal income tax

deduction the Company can receive for annual individual compensation paid to certain current and former executive officers, subject to a transition rule for written binding contracts in effect on November 2, 2017, and not materially modified after that date. Prior to the Act, Section 162(m)’s deduction limit included an exception for “performance-based” compensation that permitted qualifying compensation to be deductible even if it exceeded the $1 million limit. Significant aspects of the Company’s compensation programs were designed to permit (but not require) compensation to qualify for this performance-based exception. To accomplish this, the Company previously asked shareholders to approve equity and incentive compensation plans that included limitations and provisions required to be included under Section 162(m). Now that the performance-based compensation exception is no longer available, the Company no longer includes specific Section 162(m)-related limitations or provisions or request shareholder approval for this purpose, and generally will not attempt to meet the requirements previously included in our plans related to the now eliminated performance-based exception as there is no tax benefit from doing so.

11. Actions Since End of Fiscal Year 2019

Fiscal Year 2019 RSUs Granted in Fiscal Year 2020

The table below summarizes the RSUs granted to our NEOs since the end of fiscal year 2019, which represent the portion of the annual incentive award earned under the MIP for fiscal year 2019 and granted in the form of RSUs. These grants were made in fiscal year 2020 and therefore are not included in the Summary Compensation Table or the Grants of Plan-based Awards and Outstanding Equity Awards at

Fiscal

Year-End

tables set forth below.

Fiscal Year 2020 RSUs Granted for Fiscal Year 2019 MIP Performance


	Fiscal 2019 Equity Incentive
Name	Amount Earned ($)		Number of Units (#)		Grant Date Fair Value ($)
Tim Hockey		5,548,200		121,512		6,195,630
Stephen J. Boyle		1,109,700		24,304		1,239,207
Peter J. deSilva		1,192,928		26,127		1,332,158
Thomas A. Nally		1,192,928		26,127		1,332,158
Steven M. Quirk		1,165,185		25,519		1,301,158

The number of RSUs granted was determined by dividing the dollar amount earned by $45.66, the average of the high and low price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days ended December 5, 2019. These awards are scheduled to vest over three years in equal, annual installments. The grant date fair value for accounting purposes was determined using the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The per share grant date fair value on December 5, 2019, was $50.99. On December 20, 2019, the vesting of Mr. Boyle’s RSU award was accelerated in full in connection with the anticipated acquisition of the Company by Schwab.

In addition, the Compensation Committee approved the grant of RSUs covering 5,476 shares of the Company’s common stock (valued at $250,000 and with a grant date fair value of $279,209) to each of Messrs. Nally and Quirk. These RSUs are scheduled to vest over three years in equal, annual installments. These awards were granted as retention incentives, in light of the announcement relating to the CEO’s transition. The per share grant date fair value of these awards on December 5, 2019 was $50.99.

Fiscal Year 2020 Target Total Annual Compensation Adjustments

The Compensation Committee discussed with our CEO the target total annual compensation for fiscal year 2020 of our NEOs (other than the CEO). The Compensation Committee also reviewed the market data and assessments of performance for each NEO. In light of the transition agreement entered into between the Company and the CEO, the Compensation Committee did not determine target total annual compensation for the CEO. After considering individual performance, scope of role and responsibility within the organization and the competitiveness of our NEOs’ compensation compared to the market data, the Compensation Committee approved the fiscal year 2020 target total annual compensation for each NEO (other than the CEO) as follows:

Fiscal Year 2020 Target Total Annual Compensation


Name	Base Salary ($)		Target Cash Incentive ($)		Target Equity Incentive ($)		Total Target Incentive $		Target Total Annual Compensation ($)
Stephen J. Boyle (1)		550,000		1,075,000		1,075,000		2,150,000		2,700,000
Peter J. deSilva (2)		650,000		1,175,000		1,175,000		2,350,000		3,000,000
Thomas A. Nally (3)		650,000		1,175,000		1,175,000		2,350,000		3,000,000
Steven M. Quirk (4)		550,000		1,125,000		1,125,000		2,250,000		2,800,000

(1)	Mr. Boyle’s base salary was increased by $50,000, and his annual target incentive compensation was increased from $2 million for fiscal year 2019 to $2.15 million for fiscal year 2020, which continues to consist of 50% cash and 50% equity.

(2)	Mr. deSilva’s annual target incentive compensation was increased from $2.15 million for fiscal year 2019 to $2.35 million for fiscal year 2020, which continues to consist of 50% cash and 50% equity.

(3)	Mr. Nally’s annual target incentive compensation was increased from $2.15 million for fiscal year 2019 to $2.35 million for fiscal year 2020, which continues to consist of 50% cash and 50% equity.

(4)	Mr. Quirk’s base salary was increased by $50,000, and his annual target compensation was increased from $2.1 million for fiscal year 2019 to $2.25 million for fiscal year 2020, which continues to consist of 50% cash and 50% equity.

Key Management Changes in Fiscal Year 2020

In connection with the Company’s entry into the merger agreement with Schwab, Mr. Hockey stepped down from his role as president and CEO and as a member of the board, and Mr. Boyle was appointed the interim president and CEO and a member of the board. As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, the compensation arrangements for Mr. Boyle in his role as interim president and CEO have not yet been finalized. Pursuant to Mr. Hockey’s transition agreement, Mr. Hockey will serve in the role of senior advisor through February 29, 2020. In addition, as of the same date, Jon C. Peterson, formerly the Company’s managing director of analysis, planning and reporting, was appointed as the interim CFO of the Company. While serving in such role, Mr. Peterson will receive an additional

bi-weekly

cash compensation payment of $27,000.

Compensation Committee Report

(1)

Represents $32,334 in dividends earned during fiscal year 2019 on the deferred stock units and the value of any increase or decrease in the stock price of the shares. Mr. Boyle previously deferred certain portions of the cash component of his annual incentive award payable to him under the MIP for fiscal years 2017 and 2016, which were converted into 18,076 deferred stock units and 10,334 deferred stock units, respectively, during fiscal years 2018 and 2017, respectively. The deferred stock units are scheduled to be paid to Mr. Boyle in ten annual installments upon the termination of his employment but would be distributed in full within thirty days of a change in control event as per the terms of the Executive Deferred Compensation Program.

(2)	The amounts earned for Mr. Boyle’s deferred stock units were not subject to any above-market or preferential earnings during fiscal year 2019 or any prior year reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

(3)

Represents $92,014 in dividends earned during fiscal year 2019 on the deferred stock units and the value of any increase or decrease in the stock price of the shares. Mr. Boyle was granted RSUs covering 79,767 shares on July 8, 2015, which vested in full on July 8, 2018. A total of 82,294 vested shares (which include DEUs but are net of shares used to satisfy any applicable tax withholdings at vesting) otherwise issuable under the RSUs have been deferred until the earliest of the termination of Mr. Boyle’s employment, his death, or his disability. The deferred stock units are scheduled to be paid to Mr. Boyle in ten, annual installments upon the termination of his employment other than due to his death or disability, with the first installment paid shortly after the termination of his employment and remaining installments paid on each of the next nine anniversaries of the termination. The number of shares of Company common stock to be paid in each installment is equal to the total number of deferred stock units (including DEUs), divided by the number of remaining installments to be paid. In the event that Mr. Boyle dies or becomes disabled during his employment, the deferred stock units instead will be issued in lump sum shortly following the date of the death or disability.

(4)

The aggregate balance at fiscal year end 2019 represents the value of 29,642 deferred stock units of Company common stock based on $46.70 per share, the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2019 (the last business day of fiscal year 2019). Mr. Boyle previously deferred 50% of the cash component of his annual incentive award payable to him under the MIP for fiscal year 2016, which was converted into 10,334 deferred stock units. An amount of $342,900, representing the deferred portion of the annual incentive award payable in cash to Mr. Boyle under the MIP for fiscal year 2016 was included in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2016 under the column titled

Non-Equity

Incentive Plan Compensation. These deferred stock units are subject to the Company’s Executive Deferred Compensation Program. Under this program, participants may elect to defer up to 100% of their annual incentive earned under the MIP or such other compensation that the program administrator may permit. The program also permits discretionary contributions by the Company, although no Company contributions were made in fiscal year 2019. Deferred stock units under the program are eligible for DEUs, which generally are calculated by multiplying the dividend amount per share by the number of deferred stock units of the participant, divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the dividend payment date. The program will provide for earlier, lump sum distribution in the event of change in control or should Mr. Boyle become disabled while employed with the Company, and also permits distributions in connection with an unforeseeable emergency.

(5)

The aggregate balance at fiscal year end 2019 represents the value of 84,573 shares of Company common stock deferred under the RSU described in footnote (3) above (including DEUs earned on the deferred stock units, which also remain deferred), based on $46.70 per share, the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2019 (the last business day of fiscal year 2019). The grant date fair value of this RSU award was included in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2015 in the amount of $2,881,535, under the column titled Stock Awards.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Introduction and Overview

The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Hockey, Boyle and deSilva. During fiscal year 2019, the Company also entered into a transition agreement with Mr. Hockey. Messrs. Nally and Quirk do not have employment agreements. The employment agreements and certain compensation plans and award agreements require the Company to provide compensation and benefits to the executives in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment, including in connection with a change in control of the Company.

Compensation Plans and Award Agreements

Management Incentive Plan and Long-Term Incentive Plan

Under the MIP, in the event of death or disability prior to the payment of a scheduled award, compensation will be paid to the executive’s estate or other authorized person. The LTIP provides that in the event of a change in control, unless determined otherwise by the administrator of the LTIP, in the event a successor to the Company does not assume or substitute or replace outstanding awards of options, RSUs and PRSUs, those awards will vest in full. The RSU and PRSU award agreements generally provide for settlement as soon as practicable upon the vesting of the award, except in limited circumstances for purposes of complying with any applicable laws (such as requirements relating to deferred compensation). Some of the terms under these award agreements are further modified by certain other agreements entered into with the NEO, as described further below, including a transition agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Hockey during fiscal year 2019. See the section titled “Summary Table—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control for additional information regarding the applicable provisions in the event a hypothetical triggering event were to have occurred on the last day of fiscal year 2019. The option, RSU and PRSU award agreements provide for the following treatment of NEOs’ awards upon death, disability, retirement, termination without cause, resignation for good reason, and change in control (and with respect to Mr. Hockey’s equity awards, as further modified by his transition agreement as discussed further below):


Triggering Event		Treatment of Award

Death or disability		RSU award vests in full. PRSU award vests based on target performance.

Retirement		RSU award vests in full (other than with respect to Mr. Hockey’s RSUs granted January 21, 2016). PRSU award remains outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual performance.

Termination by the Company without cause		Mr. Hockey’s RSU award granted January 21, 2016, vests in full, and other RSUs held by an NEO vest as to a prorated portion based on the number of full, 12-month periods of service completed during the vesting period. PRSUs for which performance already has been measured and met will vest in full. For PRSUs for which performance has not yet been measured, those PRSUs will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual performance as to 100% with respect to Mr. Hockey, or 33% (if termination occurs at least one year after grant), 67% (if termination occurs at least two years after grant), or 100% (if termination occurs at least three years after grant), with respect to other NEOs. Mr. Hockey’s option award will continue to vest in accordance with its vesting schedule without regard to any continued employment or director service requirement.

Resignation by the executive for good reason		Mr. Hockey’s RSUs granted January 21, 2016, vests in full. Mr. deSilva’s RSUs will vest as to a prorated portion based on the number of full, 12-month periods of service completed during the vesting period. Mr. Hockey’s PRSUs will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual performance. Mr. deSilva’s PRSUs for which performance already has been measured and met will vest as to a prorated portion based on the number of full, 12-month periods of service completed during the vesting period. His PRSUs for which performance has not yet been measured will remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual performance as to 33% (if termination occurs at least one year after grant), 67% (if termination occurs at least two years after grant), or 100% (if termination occurs at least three years after grant). Mr. Hockey’s options will continue to vest in accordance with their vesting schedule without regard to any continued employment or director service requirement.

Change in control		RSU award vests in full following termination by the Company without cause that occurs within 24 months after a change in control. For PRSU awards, the performance period will end upon the change in control and actual performance will be measured at that time. PRSUs for which performance is deemed met will be scheduled to vest, after the change in control, on the three-year anniversary of the grant date subject to continued service. Upon termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, such PRSUs will accelerate vesting in full. With respect to Mr. Hockey, upon resignation for good reason, or termination of employment by the Company other than for cause, such PRSUs will accelerate vesting in full. With respect to Mr. deSilva, upon resignation for good reason or termination of employment by the Company other than for cause, in each case within 12 months after the change in control, such PRSUs will continue to vest in accordance with its vesting schedule. With respect to other NEOs, upon termination of employment by the Company other than for cause, 33% (if termination occurs at least one year after grant), 67% (if termination occurs at least two years after grant), or 100% (if termination occurs at least three years after grant) of such PRSUs will accelerate vesting. In connection with the pending acquisition by Schwab, the Company amended the terms of the PRSU agreements to provide for full acceleration of vesting in the event of a termination without cause following a change in control.

Conditions to Receipt of Accelerated Vesting Benefit		Under the RSU and PRSU award agreements, non-solicitation and non-competition covenants for a period of 12 months (or 24 months, in the case of Mr. Hockey and Mr. Boyle), following termination of employment with the Company, and with respect to Mr. Hockey’s PRSU award agreement, a release of claims in favor of the Company pursuant to his employment agreement. Upon termination other than due to death or disability, the portion of Mr. Boyle’s RSU award granted July 8, 2015, that accelerates vesting will be paid out in annual installments over a 9-year period following termination.

Certain Definitions Under RSU, PRSU and Option Award Agreements and LTIP

Under the LTIP, “change in control” generally means the occurrence of any of the following:

•

The date any person (or more than one person acting as a group) acquires ownership of Company common stock that, together with common stock held by such person (or group), constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or voting power of Company common stock, but other than circumstances in which: additional common stock is acquired by any one person (or more than one person acting as a group) considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or voting power of Company common stock, or Company stockholders continue to retain substantially the same proportions of their ownership of the total fair market value or voting power of Company common stock of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total fair market value or voting power of common stock of the Company or of the ultimate parent entity of the Company, such event will not be considered a change in control; or

•

The date that the board of directors determines that any person (or more than one person acting as a group, but other than any person or group considered to effectively control the Company) acquires or has acquired during a

12-month

period at least 50% of the total voting power of Company common stock, or a majority of members of the board of directors is replaced over a

12-month

period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the board of directors before the appointment or election; or

•

The date that any person (or more than one person acting as a group) acquires or has acquired during a

12-month

period assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value of at least 50% of the total fair market value of all Company assets, but other than a transfer: (i) to an entity controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer; or (ii) of assets to a Company stockholder in exchange for or with respect to Company common stock, or to an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned by the Company or to a person (or more than one person acting as a group) that owns at least 50% of the total value or voting power of all outstanding Company common stock, or to an entity owned by such person (referenced in the immediately preceding clause) as to at least 50% of its total value or voting power.

Transactions also are required to qualify as a change in control within the meaning of Code section 409A in order to constitute a change in control under the LTIP.

Under the RSU and PRSU award agreements, a change in control will not be deemed to occur, for purposes of the treatment described in the award agreement in connection with a change in control, if TD Bank Financial Group acquires the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The pending acquisition by Schwab will, if consummated, constitute a “change in control” under the terms of the LTIP and certain employment arrangements with our NEOs.

Under the PRSU award agreements, “retirement” generally means a termination by the Company of the executive’s employment with the Company other than for cause, death or disability after the executive has attained at least age 55 and at least ten years of continuous service with the Company. With respect to Mr. Hockey, if Mr. Hockey had served as CEO for at least five years, then the term “retirement” under his PRSUs will have the same meaning as under his employment agreement. Mr. Hockey had not yet met the requirements for having remained the Company’s CEO for such period during fiscal year 2019.

Under the RSU award agreements (other than for Mr. Hockey), “retirement” generally means a termination by the Company of the executive’s employment with the Company other than for cause after the executive has attained age 55 and at least ten years of continuous service with the Company.

Under the RSU and PRSU award agreements (other than with respect to Mr. Hockey’s awards), “cause” generally means:

•

failure to substantially perform the executive’s duties as an employee, other than due to illness, injury or disability;

•

willfully engaging in conduct which is materially injurious to the Company;

•

misconduct involving serious moral turpitude, or any conviction of, or plea of no contest to, a criminal offense arising out of a breach of trust, embezzlement or fraud committed against the Company by the executive in the course of his employment with the Company;

•

any violation of the

non-solicitation

non-competition

covenants under the award agreement;

•

or any other action that might be considered gross misconduct under the Company’s applicable associate handbook.

Under Mr. Hockey’s RSU, PRSU and option award agreements, “cause” and “good reason” generally have the same meaning as provided in Mr. Hockey’s employment agreement.

Company Severance Practices

In addition, in accordance with the Company’s executive compensation practices, unless otherwise specified in an employment agreement, NEOs will generally receive the following severance benefits upon any termination by the Company without cause including following a change in control: (a) four weeks of base salary for each completed year of service (or minimum of 12 weeks), up to a maximum of 104 weeks, (b) four weeks of annual cash incentive for each completed year of service, up to a maximum of 104 weeks, calculated based on target performance, (c) continued Company-paid employer portion of premium costs for medical and dental coverage for a period equal to one month for each completed year of service (or minimum of six months), up to a maximum of 18 months, and (d) eligibility to receive the cash portion of annual incentive, based on actual performance and prorated for the period of the fiscal year that the NEO remained employed. These severance benefits are subject to a release of claims in favor of the Company, and

non-competition

and

non-solicitation

obligations for a period typically lasting 24 months following termination of employment.

“Change in control” generally has the same meaning as provided under the LTIP.

SAR Award Agreement

Mr. deSilva entered into a SAR award agreement dated January 1, 2016, with Scottrade (before our acquisition of Scottrade). The SAR award agreement provided that, for each of calendar years 2016 and 2017, Mr. deSilva would become eligible to receive a cash bonus determined based on Scottrade’s consolidated

pre-tax

earnings. Cash bonus amounts are paid in three, equal, annual installments, with the first installment paid on the last day of the applicable year of performance, in each case subject to Mr. deSilva’s continued employment through the end of the applicable year. In the event of a termination of Mr. deSilva’s employment as a result of his death or disability, or termination by Scottrade or any of its affiliates (including the Company) without cause, any cash bonuses that have not yet vested under the SAR award based on Mr. deSilva’s continued employment, will accelerate vesting in full and become payable to him. During fiscal year 2019, Mr. deSilva became eligible to receive, and was paid, an amount equal to $724,938.

Pending Acquisition of the Company by Schwab

The pending acquisition by Schwab, if consummated, will constitute a change in control under the terms of the LTIP, Mr. Hockey’s employment agreement, and the terms sheets of Messrs. Boyle and deSilva. In accordance with the applicable SEC rules, the disclosures below under “Summary Table—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” are not based on the terms of the merger agreement with Schwab. As provided in further detail in the merger agreement, in connection with the merger, each outstanding and unexercised option held by our NEOs will be assumed by Schwab and become an option to purchase shares of voting common stock of Schwab (“Schwab common stock”), on the same terms and conditions as applied to the option immediately before the completion of the merger, except that the number of shares of Schwab common stock subject to such option and the

per-share

exercise price will be appropriately adjusted in a manner intended to reflect the merger. Each outstanding RSU award held by our NEOs will be assumed by Schwab and become a restricted stock unit award covering shares of Schwab common stock, on the same terms and conditions as applied to the award immediately before the completion of the merger, except that the number of shares of Schwab common stock subject to such award will be appropriately adjusted in a manner intended to reflect the merger. Each outstanding PRSU award held by our NEOs will be

converted into a restricted stock unit award covering Schwab common stock, with the number of shares of Company common stock earned to be determined based on the greater of (x) the actual level of achievement of the applicable performance goals as determined by the Compensation Committee prior to the completion of the merger using the information available as of the latest practicable date before the completion of the merger and (y) the target level, but with the number of shares of Schwab common stock subject to such award appropriately adjusted in a manner intended to reflect the merger. In addition, on December 20, 2019, the vesting of Mr. Boyle’s RSU award granted to him on December 5, 2019, was accelerated in full in order to mitigate the adverse tax consequences applicable under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code to Mr. Boyle’s change in control related payments and benefits in connection with the anticipated acquisition of the Company by Schwab.

Summary Table—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following table summarizes potential payments upon termination or change in control for the NEOs who were serving as executive officers as of September 30, 2019. Each of the NEOs will be entitled to receive change in control benefits only if his employment is terminated in connection with or following a change in control. “Cause” and “good reason,” where applicable, are defined above in the summary of employment agreement for Mr. Hockey and term sheets for Messrs. Boyle and deSilva and any applicable award agreements. Except as specifically indicated in the footnotes to the table below, we used the following assumptions in calculating the amounts included in the table and discussion below:

•

As required by SEC rules, we assume the triggering event causing the payment occurred on September 30, 2019, the last business day of our last completed fiscal year, and the price per share of the common stock of the Company was $46.70, the closing market price on that date.

•

We treat all amounts of base salary and annual cash incentive that were earned and accrued, including unused vacation, as of the date of the triggering event as paid immediately prior to the triggering event.

These payments and benefits are payable by the Company (or its successor as applicable, in the case of any payments and benefits occurring after a change in control).

(1)

Under Mr. Hockey’s employment agreement, Mr. Hockey will receive a lump sum cash payment equal to (a) 24 months of his base salary and (b) 24 months of his average annual cash incentive payments for the prior two years, vesting acceleration with respect to all time-based RSUs, and continue vesting in any options, PRSUs (based on actual performance), and other RSUs without regard to continued service requirements. Further, his options will remain outstanding for the remainder of its term. The amount under Other Benefits and Perquisites for Mr. Hockey includes the estimated employer portion of premium costs for the continuation of medical and dental coverage under COBRA for a period of two years after the termination date that he would receive under his employment agreement, the estimated amount of reimbursements for tax preparation services for his tax years 2019 and 2020, and reimbursement for legal fees incurred by Mr. Hockey relating to his separation and transition matters, up to a maximum of $75,000.

(2)

As of September 30, 2019, of the NEOs, only Messrs. Boyle and Quirk were eligible for retirement with respect to the retirement-related vesting benefits under the RSU and PRSU award agreements. Under Mr. Hockey’s employment agreement, if Mr. Hockey had resigned due to his voluntary retirement after the five-year anniversary of his becoming the Company’s CEO, then he would have received continued vesting of his options and PRSUs without regard to any continued service requirement, and his options would have remained exercisable for the remaining portion of its original term. Mr. Hockey had not yet met the requirements for having remained the Company’s CEO for such period during fiscal year 2019.

(3)

Under Mr. deSilva’s term sheet, Mr. deSilva will receive continued payments of base salary for 12 months and a lump sum cash bonus payment of $1,075,000 (which is the cash portion of his annual incentive at target). Mr. deSilva’s SAR award agreement provides that in the event of Mr. deSilva’s death or disability, or a termination of his employment without cause, any cash bonus amount that has accrued under the SAR award (but for which the continued employment requirement has not yet been satisfied) will become payable to him in full.

(4)

Under Mr. Hockey’s transition agreement, Mr. Hockey would receive a cash payment of $3,540,000, payable in 2020, and a PRSU award with the target number of shares of Company common stock subject to the award determined based on actual performance of the applicable goals under the fiscal year 2019 MIP but with the individual component of the goals deemed achieved at 100% of target levels. Mr. Hockey’s actual award granted on December 5, 2019, was granted in the form of RSUs and covers 121,512 shares of Company common stock.

(5)

During the period of his transition services under his transition agreement and so long as his employment does not terminate for cause or due to his death or disability, and he did not resign without good reason, Mr. Hockey would receive his annual cash incentive for fiscal year 2019, payable in the normal course based on actual performance under the fiscal year 2019 MIP but with the individual component of the goals deemed achieved at 100% of target levels. Pursuant to Mr. Hockey’s employment agreement, had his employment terminated due to death or disability, Mr. Hockey would have received a prorated portion (if any) of his cash incentive based on actual performance, for the year of termination of employment. Mr. Hockey’s actual cash incentive earned for the full fiscal year 2019 was $2,377,800.

(6)

Other than with respect to Messrs. Hockey and deSilva, the amounts represent the cash severance payments under Messrs. Boyle’s term sheet agreement or minimum cash severance payments with respect to the other NEOs under the Company’s executive compensation practices, in each case consisting of (a) four weeks of base salary for each completed year of service up to a maximum of 104 weeks and (b) four weeks of annual cash incentive for each completed year of service calculated based on target performance up to a maximum of 104 weeks. The Company’s executive compensation practices also provide for prorated payment of the cash portion of the NEO’s annual incentive based on actual performance. The actual cash incentive earned for the full fiscal year 2019 by each of Messrs. Nally and Quirk was $1,192,928 and $1,165,185, respectively.

(7)

RSU awards accelerate vesting as described further above except, with respect to Mr. Hockey, as specified in his employment agreement (as described in the footnote above), or with respect to Mr. Boyle, as specified in his term sheet agreement. Mr. Boyle’s term sheet agreement contemplates that RSU awards will vest: (i) upon a termination by the Company without cause, as to a prorated portion based on the number of full,

12-month

periods of service completed during the vesting period, or (ii) upon a termination within 12 months after a change in control, in full. However, Mr. Boyle is eligible for retirement under the applicable RSU award agreements. Accordingly, upon any termination by the Company without cause, his RSU awards will vest in full. Mr. Quirk also is eligible for retirement under the applicable RSU award agreements. Accordingly, upon any termination by the Company without cause, his RSU awards will vest in full.

(8)	Vesting occurs on a prorated basis, as described further above.

(9)

Amounts represent PRSU awards at target levels. Amounts include the PRSU awards granted to NEOs on November 22, 2016, November 29, 2017, and December 5, 2018. Under the terms and conditions of the applicable PRSU award agreements, PRSU awards are treated as described further above. To the extent PRSUs remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on actual performance after the termination of the NEO’s employment, the amounts shown assume actual performance satisfies the applicable performance criteria at target. However, any vesting based on actual performance may range from 80% to 120% of target, depending on the extent of achievement of the applicable performance criteria.

(10)	Under Mr. Boyle’s term sheet agreement, this represents the estimated employer portion of premium costs for the continuation of medical, vision and dental coverage under COBRA for a period of 12 months after employment termination.

(11)

The amounts represent the estimated employer portion of premium costs for the continuation of medical, vision and dental coverage under COBRA for each of Messrs. Nally and Quirk, based on the Company’s executive compensation practices providing for this benefit over a period equal to one month for each completed year of service, with a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 18 months. As of September 30, 2019, Messrs. Nally and Quirk had completed 25 and 12 years of service, respectively.

CEO Pay Ratio

In accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation

S-K

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, we are providing the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of our median employee.

The annual total compensation of our median employee, excluding our CEO, for our fiscal year 2019 was $83,718.

The annual total compensation of our CEO for our fiscal year 2019 was $9,772,730.

The ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to that of our median employee for our fiscal year 2019 was estimated to be 116.7 to 1.

The median employee generally is the employee whose annual total compensation is at the midpoint of our employees, ranked in order of their compensation amounts. We used

W-2

compensation as the compensation measure for determining our median employee, as permitted by the SEC rules. We reviewed the

W-2

compensation information for the approximately 9,400 individuals who, for purposes of this disclosure, as of September 30, 2019, the last day of our fiscal year 2019, were employed by us and were located in the U.S., excluding our CEO.

We excluded all of our approximately 21 employees who are located outside of the U.S., including approximately 8 employees in Hong Kong, 1 employee in India and 12 employees in Singapore. Our

non-U.S.

employees constituted less than 5% of our estimated total of 9,421 employees as of September 30, 2019.

Based on

W-2

compensation information, we identified a small subset of employees whose compensation was closest to or constituted the median

W-2

compensation amount. We then calculated the fiscal year 2019 annual total compensation of each employee in the subset in a manner consistent with the SEC rules for determining the compensation of our NEOs disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table. The employee whose annual total compensation was at the median of the subset was selected as the median employee whose annual total compensation was compared to the annual total compensation of our CEO for purposes of the ratio set forth above. We did not make any cost of living adjustments.

Director Compensation

The following table summarizes

non-employee

director compensation for calendar year 2019 under the terms of the TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation 2006 Directors Incentive Plan:


Non-employee Director Compensation		Amount (1)
Chairman of the Board Annual Retainer
• Cash Retainer		$200,000
• Equity Retainer		$200,000 in RSUs
Annual Retainers (1)
• Cash Retainer		$80,000
• Equity Retainer (2)		$145,000 in RSUs
Annual Committee Chair Fees (1)		$25,000 for chairs of Audit and Risk Committees $15,000 for chairs of Governance, Compensation, and OID Committees
Annual Committee Member Fees (1)(3)		$10,000 for Audit and Risk Committees $5,000 for Governance, Compensation, and OID Committees

(1)	Excludes Chairman of the Board.

(2)	Increased from $130,000 for calendar year 2018 to $145,000 for calendar year 2019.

(3)	Excludes Committee Chairs.

As part of its annual review of director compensation, the Corporate Governance Committee requested that Semler Brossy conduct an independent review of the Company’s

non-employee

director compensation program in early fiscal 2019. Semler Brossy conducted an

in-depth

assessment of each element of compensation and of the compensation program structure in comparison to the companies in the fiscal year 2018 peer group used for executive compensation purposes. Semler Brossy’s review found that the cash compensation paid to our

non-employee

directors was consistent generally with the median paid in our peer group, but the amount of our equity retainer was below the fiscal year 2018 peer group median. The amount of equity retainer had not been increased since 2010. Following the recommendation of the Corporate Governance Committee, on November 16, 2018, the board of directors approved a $15,000 increase in the annual equity retainer for our

non-employee

directors (other than the chairman), from $130,000 to $145,000. This increase resulted in bringing the annual equity retainer to approximately the peer group median.

Non-employee

directors may also receive, at the discretion of the Corporate Governance Committee and approved by the board of directors, payment of additional

non-employee

director compensation when special circumstances warrant. In 2019, Ms. Hailey received $120,000, Mr. Mitchell received $120,000 and Mr. Tessler received $160,000 in consideration for their work as members (and in the case of Mr. Tessler, as Chairman) of the Strategic Development Committee in connection with the pending acquisition by Schwab.

2006 Directors Incentive Plan

The 2006 Directors Incentive Plan is designed to:

•

fairly compensate

non-employee

directors for work required of a company the size and complexity of TD Ameritrade and

•

align directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders.

The annual cash retainer, the committee chair and membership fees are paid in advance at the beginning of each calendar year.

Under the 2006 Directors Incentive Plan, any

non-employee

director is permitted to defer any or all of the cash or equity award. Investment earnings on amounts deferred in the form of stock units are based on the fluctuations in the underlying common stock of the Company. Deferred cash awards earn interest at the prime rate as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

The number of RSUs under the annual equity grant is calculated by using the average of the high and low price of the Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the grant date. RSU awards vest completely on the first anniversary of the grant date and are settled by issuing one share of Company common stock for each RSU granted. RSUs do not have any voting rights. RSUs receive the benefit of any dividends on common stock of the Company in the form of additional DEUs that are subject to the same vesting schedule as the original RSUs on which the dividends are paid. In the event of the death or disability of a

non-employee

director or a change in control of the Company, the RSUs will vest and be settled in common stock of the Company.

Non-employee

directors are reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the board of directors. The Company also indemnifies and provides liability insurance for its directors and officers.

Chairman Compensation

For calendar year 2019, Mr. Moglia was compensated pursuant to a

non-employee

chairman term sheet. Under the term sheet, Mr. Moglia earns a total annual retainer of $400,000. The term sheet also provides for administrative support equivalent to that provided to a senior executive, including secretarial assistance, office, and certain other equipment. Mr. Moglia’s 2019 annual retainer was paid 50% in cash and 50% in the form of RSUs. For the provisions of the

non-employee

chairman term sheet, see Exhibit 10.2 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

filed with the SEC on November 18, 2011.

As part of the annual review of director compensation, the Corporate Governance Committee asked Semler Brossy, the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, to review Mr. Moglia’s compensation in his role as chairman. Semler Brossy’s review found that Mr. Moglia’s compensation was consistent generally with the median compensation for

non-executive

chairman within our fiscal year 2019 peer group. (For more information on our peer group, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Executive Summary.”) The Corporate Governance Committee considered the data provided by Semler Brossy, as well as Mr. Moglia’s responsibilities as chairman of the board of directors (including serving as a liaison between the board and senior management and conducting annual board interviews as part of the annual board evaluation process) and his unique insight and experience as our former chief executive officer. In light of this review, the Corporate Governance Committee continues to believe that the annual retainer amount is appropriate and made no changes to the calendar year 2020 retainer amount.

Director Compensation Table for Fiscal Year 2019

The table below provides information on compensation for

non-employee

directors who served during fiscal year 2019. Compensation information for Mr. Hockey, who was a NEO and served as an employee director of the Company during fiscal year 2019, is disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table under “Executive Compensation and Related Information.”

(1)

The amounts in this column represent, other than with respect to Messrs. Bettino and Ricketts, amounts paid in cash for retainers and fees for services provided by our

non-employee

directors for fiscal year 2019 (consisting of the amount of the retainers and fees corresponding to the applicable portions of calendar years 2018 and 2019 that comprised fiscal year 2019). For Mr. Bettino, the amount in this column represents the dollar amount of retainers and fees earned for services provided in fiscal year 2019 that were deferred in the form of 2,042 deferred stock units. For Mr. Ricketts, the amount in this column represents the dollar amount of retainers and fees earned for services provided in fiscal year 2019 that Mr. Ricketts elected to receive in the form of cash and 1,457 shares of Company common stock. For each of Ms. Hailey, Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Tessler, the amounts in this column include fees paid during fiscal 2019 in the amount of $60,000, $60,000, and $80,000, respectively, and one quarter of the fees paid in December 2019 in the amount of $15,000, $15,000 and $20,000, respectively, in consideration for his or her work during fiscal 2019 in connection with the pending acquisition by Schwab. Mr. Masrani, an employee of TD, elected during fiscal year 2019 not to receive compensation for services provided as a

non-employee

director both in fiscal year 2019, and generally on an ongoing basis.

(2)

The combined value of Mr. Moglia’s cash and equity compensation remained unchanged from calendar year 2018 to calendar year 2019. His annual cash compensation for fiscal year 2019 reflects the applicable portions of Mr. Moglia’s calendar years 2018 and 2019 annual cash retainers allocated to services he provided as a director during fiscal year 2019. For calendar year 2019, Mr. Moglia was paid such compensation 50% as an annual cash retainer of $200,000 and 50% as an equity award. For calendar year 2018, Mr. Moglia did not receive any equity awards for his services. Instead, the value of any equity awards he otherwise would have received for such calendar year 2018 services were paid entirely in cash. As a result, his annual cash retainer for calendar year 2018 was $400,000 and his equity compensation was $0. The amount shown in the table above being greater than $200,000 is attributable to the additional amount that he received for calendar year 2018 as cash compensation for the forgone equity compensation.

(3)

The following table summarizes, as of September 30, 2019, the aggregate number of outstanding deferred stock units and RSUs, including DEUs associated with the outstanding deferred stock units and RSU awards, held by the individuals who served as our

non-employee

directors during fiscal year 2019. Outstanding stock-based awards for Mr. Hockey, who is a NEO and served as an employee director of the Company during fiscal 2019, are summarized in the Outstanding Equity Awards at September 30, 2019, table under “Executive Compensation and Related Information.”

The amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718,

Compensation — Stock Compensation

, for RSUs granted to the

non-employee

directors during fiscal year 2019. In fiscal year 2019, the RSUs granted as 2019 annual equity grants on February 20, 2019, as noted in the main table above, had a grant date fair value of $146,735.

(5)

The amounts in this column represent above market interest calculated under SEC rules as the interest credited under the plan to the director minus the interest that would have been credited using 120% of the long-term, quarterly applicable federal rate as prescribed under Internal Revenue Code Section 1274(d) for the month in which the applicable interest under the plan was determined.

(6)

The amount in this column represents reimbursement for post-retirement medical coverage. In connection with Mr. Moglia’s transition to chairman of our board of directors from CEO in 2008, Mr. Moglia became eligible, pursuant to his employment agreement then in effect, to receive post-retirement medical coverage for him, his spouse and any eligible dependents for his life (and his spouse’s life if she survives him), with the coverage secondary to his Medicare benefits. To receive this benefit, Mr. Moglia agreed to a release of claims in favor of the Company and

non-competition,

non-solicitation

and

non-disparagement

obligations for a specified period (which has been satisfied) following employment termination.

The vesting terms of the equity awards described above are subject to acceleration upon the earlier consummation of the pending acquisition by Schwab. As provided in further detail in the merger agreement between the Company and Schwab, each RSU award granted under the 2006 Directors Incentive Plan (together with any related DEUs and deferred stock units) outstanding as of immediately before the completion of the merger will vest, and be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the merger consideration (as defined below) as if such RSU award had been settled in shares of Company common stock immediately before the completion of the merger. For further details, refer to Item 11 — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Pending Acquisition of the Company by Schwab.

Non-employee

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

Under the Company’s

non-employee

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

Stock Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

As of January 15, 2020, there were 540,641,190 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. The following table sets forth, as of January 15, 2020, the beneficial ownership of the Company’s common stock by each of the NEOs, by current directors, by each person believed by the Company to beneficially own more than 5% of the Company’s common stock and by all current executive officers and directors of the Company as a group. Shares of common stock subject to options that are exercisable within 60 days of January 15, 2020 are deemed beneficially owned by the person holding such options and are treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of such person, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage of ownership of any other person. RSUs held by our directors and officers and PRSUs held by our officers are included below, but do not have voting rights until the units vest and the underlying shares are distributed. Deferred stock units held by our directors and officers are included below, but do not have voting rights until the underlying shares are distributed to the holder pursuant to his or her deferral election.

Change in Control

The proposed acquisition by Schwab will, if consummated, constitute a change in control. On November 24, 2019, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “merger agreement”) with Schwab, a Delaware corporation. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of Schwab will merge with and into the Company (the “merger”), with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Schwab. Pursuant to the merger agreement, upon the closing of the merger, each share of Company common stock will be converted into the right to receive 1.0837 shares of Schwab common stock (the “merger consideration”); provided, however, that if the merger consideration issuable to TD Bank and its affiliates, together with any other shares of Schwab common stock then owned by TD Bank and its affiliates, would equal a number of shares of Schwab common stock exceeding 9.9% (or such lower percentage of shares of Schwab common stock as the Federal Reserve Board permits TD Bank to acquire in the merger consistent with a determination that TD Bank does not control Schwab for purposes of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or the Home Owners’ Loan Act of 1933, as amended) of the issued and outstanding shares of Schwab common stock as of immediately following the closing of the merger, then TD Bank will receive one share of nonvoting common stock of Schwab in lieu of each such excess share of Schwab common stock. The merger agreement, as may be amended from time to time, was filed with the SEC on November 27, 2019, as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form

8-K.

The stockholder vote to approve the merger will be held at a Special Meeting of Stockholders.

Consummation of the merger remains subject to certain customary closing conditions, including the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and approval by the stockholders of both companies. Assuming timely satisfaction of the necessary closing conditions, we anticipate that the merger will be completed in the second half of calendar 2020.

Stockholders Agreement

Concurrently with entering into the share purchase agreement related to the Company’s acquisition of TD Waterhouse, the Company, certain Ricketts stockholders and TD entered into the Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement contains certain governance arrangements and provisions relating to the composition of our board of directors, stock ownership, transfers by TD, voting and various other matters. On December 4, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 to the Stockholders Agreement, which extended the term of the Stockholders Agreement until January 24, 2021 and provided that, as of January 24, 2016, the Ricketts stockholders would cease to be parties to the Stockholders Agreement and subject to any of its terms (the “Ricketts Cessation”).

Governance of TD Ameritrade.

The Stockholders Agreement provides that the board of directors of the Company consists of twelve members, up to five of whom may be designated by TD, one of whom is the CEO of the Company and the remainder of whom are outside independent directors. The outside independent directors are nominated by the OID Committee, subject to TD’s right to reject such nominees on a reasonable basis. The number of directors designated by TD depends on it maintaining specified ownership thresholds of common stock and may increase or decrease from time to time based on those ownership thresholds, but will never exceed five.

In 2013, the Ricketts stockholders’ ownership decreased, resulting in a decrease in the number of directors that they were entitled to designate from two to one. The vacancy created by this decrease was filled by Mr. Bettino, an outside independent director, in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. In May 2014, Mr. Moglia met the requirements for independence and was designated as an outside independent director.

On December 22, 2015, Mr. Todd M. Ricketts was elected as a member of the board of directors as an outside independent director, effective February 18, 2016, obviating the requirement under the Stockholders Agreement that Mr. Ricketts resign from the board of directors immediately prior to the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders in connection with the Ricketts Cessation.

The Stockholders Agreement provides, subject to applicable laws and certain conditions and exceptions, that the Company shall cause each committee of its board of directors to consist of two of the directors designated by TD, and three outside independent directors. These levels of committee representation are subject to adjustment from time to time based on TD’s maintenance of specified ownership thresholds. TD has agreed to vote its shares of common stock in favor of, and the Company agreed that it would solicit votes in favor of, each director nominated for election in the manner provided for in the Stockholders Agreement.

Share Ownership.

TD is permitted to exercise voting rights only with respect to up to 45% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company for the remaining term of the Stockholders Agreement. Under the Stockholders Agreement (beginning January 24, 2016) if the Company’s stock repurchases cause TD’s ownership percentage to exceed 45%, TD shall use reasonable efforts to sell or dispose of such excess stock, subject to TD’s commercial judgment as to the optimal timing, amount and method of sales with a view to maximizing proceeds from such sales. TD has no absolute obligation to reduce its ownership percentage to 45% by the termination of the Stockholders Agreement. However, prior to and following the termination of the Stockholders Agreement, TD will either not vote any such excess stock or, at the discretion of the Company, vote any such excess stock on any matter in the same proportions as all the outstanding shares of stock held by holders other than TD and its affiliates are voted. In no event may the Company repurchase shares of its common stock that would result in TD’s ownership percentage exceeding 47%.

The Stockholders Agreement also provides that TD will not, subject to certain exceptions, solicit proxies with respect to common stock. Notwithstanding the limitations on TD’s ownership described above, the Stockholders Agreement permits TD to make a

non-public

proposal to the board of directors to acquire additional shares pursuant to a tender offer or merger for 100% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company and to complete such a transaction, subject to the approval of independent directors and holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock not affiliated with TD.

Right to Purchase Securities.

TD has the right to purchase up to its respective proportionate share of future issuances of common stock, other than in connection with the Company stock issued as consideration in an acquisition by the Company. If the Company proposes to issue shares as consideration in an acquisition, the Company will discuss in good faith with TD alternative structures in which a portion of such shares would be sold to TD, with the proceeds of such sale used to fund the acquisition.

The Stockholders Agreement further provides that if the Company engages in discussions with a third party that could result in the acquisition by such party of 25% of the voting securities or consolidated assets of the Company, the Company must offer TD the opportunity to participate in parallel discussions with the Company regarding a comparable transaction.

Transfer Restrictions.

The Stockholders Agreement generally prohibits TD from transferring shares of common stock, absent approval of the OID Committee, to any holder of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company, subject to certain exceptions.

As long as TD and the Company constitute the same audit client, TD agreed not to engage the auditor of the Company, and the Company agreed not to engage the auditors of TD, to provide certain

non-audit

services.

Information Rights.

Subject to confidentiality and nondisclosure obligations and as long as it owns at least 15% of the outstanding shares of common stock, TD is entitled to access information regarding the Company’s business, operations and plans as it may reasonably require to appropriately manage and evaluate its investment in the Company and to comply with its obligations under U.S. and Canadian laws.

Obligation to Repurchase Shares.

If the Company issues shares of its common stock pursuant to any compensation or similar program or arrangement, then the Company will, subject to certain exceptions, use its reasonable efforts to repurchase a corresponding number of shares of its common stock in the open market within 120 days after any such issuance.

Non-Competition

Covenants.

Subject to specified exceptions, the Stockholders Agreement generally provides that TD and its affiliates may not participate in or own any portion of a business engaged in the business of providing securities brokerage services in the U.S. to retail traders, individual investors and registered investment advisors. If TD acquires indirectly a competing business as a result of its acquisition of a

non-competing

business, TD must offer to sell the competing business to the Company at its appraised fair value determined in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement. If the Company decides not to purchase the competing business, TD must use commercially reasonable efforts to divest the competing business within two years. TD and its affiliates are permitted under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement to own a passive investment representing less than 2% of a class of equity securities of a competing business so long as the class of equity securities is traded on a national securities exchange in the U.S. or the Toronto Stock Exchange. TD also is permitted to engage in certain activities in the ordinary course of its banking and securities businesses. In addition, the Company has agreed that it will not hold or acquire control of a bank or similar depository institution except (1) as a result of a business combination transaction approved by the Company’s board of directors and involving an entity not more than 75% of whose consolidated revenues were generated by one or more insured depository institutions and as to which (a) TD has elected to acquire such entity’s insured depository institutions at a price mutually agreed between the Company and TD, (b) the Company divests or causes the seller to divest completely such insured depository institution before closing, or (c) TD otherwise consents to the business combination transaction with such entity, or (2) in the event that TD does not hold control of any bank or similar depository institution that is able to offer money market deposit accounts to clients of the Company as a designated sweep vehicle or TD has indicated that it is not willing to offer such accounts to clients of the Company through a bank or similar depository institution it controls.

Termination of the Stockholders Agreement.

The Stockholders Agreement provides that the agreement terminates in its entirety, upon the earliest to occur of (a) the consummation of a merger or tender offer where TD acquires 100% of the common stock, (b) January 24, 2021, (c) the date on which TD’s ownership of common stock falls below approximately 4% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, (d) the commencement by a third party of a tender offer or exchange offer for not less than 25% of the Company’s common stock, unless the board of directors recommends against the offer and continues to take steps to oppose the offer, (e) the approval by the board of directors of a business combination that would result in another party owning more than 25% of the voting securities or consolidated assets of the Company or which would otherwise result in a change of control of the Company, or (f) the acquisition of more than 20% of the voting securities of the Company by a third party. For a period of up to one year following a termination under clause (d), (e) or (f) above, TD will be prohibited from acquiring shares of the Company’s common stock that would cause its aggregate ownership to exceed 45% except pursuant to a tender offer or merger for 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock approved by the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock (other than TD). In addition, during that

one-year

period, the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement relating to the designation of directors and certain other provisions will remain in effect.

Item 13.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Review and Approval of Related Party Transactions

The board of directors has a Related Party Transactions Policy covering the review and approval or ratification of any transaction, arrangement or relationship involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, with a value of $120,000 or more per fiscal year, in which any related party had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest required to be disclosed under applicable SEC rules. Related parties are our directors, executive officers and any stockholder beneficially owning more than 5% of our common stock or any of their immediate family members. Under the policy, the OID Committee reviews related party transactions and may approve or ratify them only if it is determined that they are in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. When reviewing a related party transaction, the OID Committee considers, among other factors determined to be appropriate, the following factors (to the extent relevant to the related party transaction):

•

whether the terms of the related party transaction are fair to the Company and are no less favorable than terms that would apply if the transaction did not involve a related party;

•

whether there are business reasons for the Company to enter into the related party transaction;

•

whether the related party transaction would impair the independence of an outside director; and

•

whether the related party transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer of the Company, taking into account the size of the transaction, the overall financial position of the director, executive officer or related party, the direct or indirect nature of the director’s, executive officer’s or related party’s interest in the transaction and the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship.

Nothing in the policy supersedes or modifies any contractual rights or obligations provided in the Stockholders Agreement.

Transactions with Related Parties

The Company transacts business and has extensive relationships with TD and certain of its affiliates. The following table describes transactions between the Company and related persons, including TD and its affiliates, for fiscal year 2019, or any currently proposed transaction in which the Company was or is to be a participant, in which the amount involved exceeds or could reasonably be expected to exceed $120,000 and any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

(1)

The Company is party to an insured deposit account (“IDA”) agreement, under which TD Bank USA and TD Bank, NA. (together, the “TD Depository Institutions”) make available to clients of the Company FDIC-insured (up to specified limits) money market deposit accounts as either designated sweep vehicles or as

non-sweep

deposit accounts. The Company provides marketing, recordkeeping and support services for the TD Depository Institutions with respect to the money market deposit accounts. In exchange for providing these services, the TD Depository Institutions pay the Company an aggregate marketing fee based on the weighted average yield earned on the client IDA assets, less the actual interest paid to clients, a servicing fee to the TD Depository Institutions and the cost of FDIC insurance premiums.

The current IDA agreement became effective as of January 1, 2013 and had an initial term expiring July 1, 2018. It is automatically renewable for successive five-year terms, provided that it may be terminated by either the Company or the TD Depository Institutions by providing written notice of

non-renewal

at least two years prior to the initial expiration date or the expiration date of any subsequent renewal period. Notice of

non-renewal

was not provided by either party, therefore the IDA agreement automatically renewed for an additional five- year term on July 1, 2018.

The fee earned on the IDA agreement is calculated based on two primary components: (a) the yield on fixed-rate “notional” investments, based on prevailing fixed rates for identical balances and maturities in the interest rate swap market (generally LIBOR-based) at the time such investments were added to the IDA portfolio (including any adjustments required to adjust the variable rate leg of such swaps to a

one-month

reset frequency and the overall swap payment frequency to monthly) and (b) the yield on floating-rate investments. As of September 30, 2019, the IDA portfolio was comprised of approximately 80% fixed-rate notional investments and 20% floating rate investments.

The IDA agreement provides that the Company may designate amounts and maturity dates for the fixed-rate notional investments in the IDA portfolio, subject to certain limitations. For example, if the Company designates that $100 million of deposits be invested in

5-year

fixed-rate investments, and on the day such investment is confirmed by the TD Depository Institutions the prevailing fixed yield for the applicable

5-year

U.S. dollar LIBOR-based swaps is 1.45%, then the Company will earn a gross fixed yield of 1.45% on that portion of the portfolio (before any deductions for interest paid to clients, the servicing fee to the TD Depository Institutions and the cost of FDIC insurance premiums). In the event that (1) the federal funds effective rate is established at 0.75% or greater and (2) the rate on

5-year

U.S. dollar interest rate swaps is equal to or greater than 1.50% for 20 consecutive business days, then the rate earned by the Company on new fixed-rate notional investments will be reduced by 20% of the excess of the

5-year

U.S. dollar swap rate over 1.50%, up to a maximum of 0.10%.

The yield on floating-rate investments is calculated daily based on the greater of the following rates published by the Federal Reserve: (1) the interest rate paid by Federal Reserve Banks on balances held in excess of required reserve balances and contractual clearing balances under Regulation D and (2) the daily effective federal funds rate.

The interest rates paid to clients are set by the TD Depository Institutions and are not linked to any index. The servicing fee to the TD Depository Institutions under the IDA agreement is equal to 25 basis points on the aggregate average daily balance in the IDA accounts, subject to adjustment as it relates to deposits of less than or equal to $20 billion kept in floating-rate investments or in fixed-rate notional investments with a maturity of up to 24 months (“short-term fixed-rate investments”). For such floating-rate and short-term fixed-rate investments, the servicing fee is equal to the difference of the interest rate earned on the investments less the FDIC premiums paid (in basis points), divided by two. The servicing fee has a floor of 3 basis points (subject to adjustment from time to time to reflect material changes to the TD Depository Institutions’ leverage costs) and a maximum of 25 basis points.

In the event the marketing fee computation results in a negative amount, the Company must pay the TD Depository Institutions the negative amount. This effectively results in the Company guaranteeing the TD Depository Institutions revenue equal to the servicing fee on the IDA agreement, plus the reimbursement of FDIC insurance premiums. The marketing fee computation under the IDA agreement is affected by many variables, including the type, duration, principal balance and yield of the fixed-rate and floating-rate investments, the prevailing interest rate environment, the amount of client deposits and the yield paid on client deposits. Because a negative marketing fee computation would arise only if there were extraordinary movements in many of these variables, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this arrangement cannot be reasonably estimated. Management believes the likelihood that the marketing fee calculation would result in a negative amount is remote. In the event the Company withdraws a notional investment prior to its maturity, the Company is required to reimburse the TD Depository Institutions an amount equal to the economic replacement value of the investment, as defined in the IDA agreement.

Under Amendment No. 1 to the IDA agreement (“IDA Amendment”), which became effective on the closing of the Scottrade merger agreement on September 18, 2017 with respect to Scottrade brokerage accounts, the parties will cause: (1) the funds of Scottrade clients held in other money market sweep accounts prior to closing to be withdrawn and deposited with TD’s money market deposit accounts within a specified number of days following closing or following the maturity date of the deposits (depending on the type of deposit), (2) new funds deposited by Scottrade clients after closing to be deposited with TD’s money market deposit accounts, (3) the existing funds of Scottrade clients in excess of the FDIC deposit insurance limits to be deposited into master accounts with TD, and (4) if the Company elects to sweep any uninsured deposits to a bank other than TD, the Company will sweep a certain amount of uninsured deposit accounts from its other client accounts to TD for a period of time that term funds remain at Scottrade’s program banks. For the complete IDA Amendment agreement, see Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form

10-Q

filed with the SEC on August 7, 2018.

(2)	For additional information about the settlement, see Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies, Legal and Regulatory Matters under Item 1, Financial Statements — Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on January 31, 2019.

(3)

The Company and an affiliate of TD were parties to a transfer agency agreement and a shareholder services agreement pursuant to which certain mutual funds were made available as money market sweep or direct purchase options to Company clients. The Company performed certain distribution and marketing support services and acted as a transfer agent with respect to those funds. In consideration for offering the funds, performing the distribution and marketing support services and acting as a transfer agent, an affiliate of TD compensated the Company in accordance with the provisions of the agreements. The transfer agency agreement and the shareholder services agreement were terminated in fiscal 2019.

(4)

TD Ameritrade, Inc. is a party to a referral and strategic alliance agreement with TD Bank, N.A. and TD Wealth Management Services, Inc. (“TDWMS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD. The strategic alliance agreement had an initial term of five years beginning February 1, 2010 and is automatically renewable for successive three-year terms, provided that it may be terminated by any party upon 180 days’ prior written notice. Under the agreement, TD Bank, N.A. promotes TD Ameritrade, Inc.’s brokerage services to its clients using a variety of marketing and referral programs and TDWMS referred its existing brokerage account clients to TD Ameritrade, Inc. while TDWMS discontinued its brokerage operations. TD Bank, N.A. clients that open brokerage accounts at TD Ameritrade, Inc. and TDWMS clients that elected to transfer their accounts to TD Ameritrade, Inc. are considered program clients. TD Ameritrade, Inc. retains a fee for providing brokerage services to the program clients, and the program’s net margin is shared equally between TD Ameritrade, Inc. and TD Bank, N.A.

(5)

On June 11, 2009, immediately following the closing of the Company’s acquisition of thinkorswim Group Inc. (“thinkorswim”), the Company completed the sale of thinkorswim Canada, Inc. (“thinkorswim Canada”) to TDW Canada. In connection with the sale of thinkorswim Canada, the Company and TDW Canada entered into a trading platform hosting and services agreement. The agreement had an initial term of five years beginning June 11, 2009 and automatically renews for additional periods of two years, unless either party provides notice of

non-renewal

to the other party at least 90 days prior to the end of the then-current term. Under the agreement, TDW Canada uses the thinkorswim trading platform and TD Ameritrade, Inc. provides the services to support the platform. In consideration for the performance by TD Ameritrade, Inc. of all its obligations under this agreement, TDW Canada pays TD Ameritrade, Inc., on a monthly basis, a fee based on average client trades per day and transactional revenues.

(6)

The order routing agreement automatically renews for successive

one-year

terms on October 31 of each year, provided that it may be terminated by either party upon 90 days’ prior written notice. Under the agreement, TDAC provides TDW Canada order routing services for U.S. equity and option orders to U.S. brokers and market centers with which TDW Canada has order execution arrangements. TDAC retains a percentage of the net order routing revenue it receives on TDW Canada trades and remits the remainder to TDW Canada.

(7)

In exchange for cash management services provided by TD Bank USA to clients of TD Ameritrade, Inc., the Company pays service-based fees agreed upon by the parties. This agreement will continue in effect as long as the IDA agreement remains in effect, provided that it may be terminated by TD Ameritrade, Inc. without cause upon 60 days’ prior written notice to TD Bank USA.

(8)	In connection with its brokerage business, the Company engages in securities borrowing and lending with TD Securities, Inc. (“TDSI”). The transactions with TDSI are subject to the same collateral requirements as transactions with other counterparties.

(9)

TD Ameritrade, Inc. and TDS entered into a master selected dealers agreement to facilitate the distribution of initial public offering SEC registered securities, including debt securities, warrants or other securities with payment of principal and interest, which may include securities issued by TD, to TD Ameritrade, Inc.’s clients. The Agreement provides for TDS, as lead agent or as lead or

co-manager

of an underwriting syndicate, to invite TD Ameritrade, Inc. to act as one of several selected dealers in a public offering. When invited to participate in an offering, TD Ameritrade, Inc. commits to purchase from TDS, an allocated amount of the new issue securities. The Agreement may be terminated by either party for any reason upon five business day’s written notice to the other party. As a selected dealer, TD Ameritrade, Inc. receives a selling concession on the securities it sells to its clients. The lead agent or lead or

co-manager

of the underwriting syndicate sets the selling concession for the offering. The pricing of the offering, including the selling concession, is based on the nature of the issuer, the features of the new issue offered, and market conditions.

(10)	The amount paid by each party is based on a cost-plus methodology for transition services provided. The agreement provides for customary termination rights, including for breach or if legally required.

(11)

For additional information about the revolving credit facilities, see Note 11 — Long-term Debt and Other Borrowings under Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

filed with the SEC on November 15, 2019. As of September 30, 2019, the total lending commitment received from TD under these credit facilities was $221 million. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, the Company paid approximately $1 million of debt issuance costs to an affiliate of TD in connection with the issuance of the 2021 Notes, 2024 Notes and 2029 Notes, which is being amortized into interest expense over the terms of the respective notes.

(12)	This agreement establishes revenue sharing terms. While the Company will remain the custodian of pledged client securities, TD Bank maintains a senior security interest in the pledged securities and will underwrite the loans and provide the line of credit to clients.

(13)	Under these sublease agreements, the Company incurred $0.3 million of sub-lease rental income and recognized $0.3 million of occupancy and equipment costs during fiscal 2019.

(14)

Certain directors and executive officers, and members of their immediate families, maintain margin trading accounts with the Company as permitted by applicable law. Margin loans to these individuals were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

(15)	The Company and TD are a party to a trademark license agreement that requires the Company to use the TD trademark and logo as part of the Company’s corporate identity. The following is a summary of selected provisions of the trademark license agreement.

The Company is required to use the TD Ameritrade name in the U.S. as its exclusive corporate entity name and to use the TD logo in connection with the TD Ameritrade name in the U.S. in corporate identity and marketing materials.

The Company has a worldwide (except in Canada) license to use the name and trademark “TD” as part of the trademark, service mark, trade name, corporate name or domain name “TD Ameritrade” in connection with the Company’s business of providing securities brokerage services to retail traders, individual investors and registered investment advisors. TD has agreed not to use the TD mark or any trademarks, service marks, trade names, corporate names and domain names incorporating the TD mark in connection with any business or activity providing securities brokerage services to retail traders, individual investors and registered investment advisors in the U.S., as so restricted by the Stockholders Agreement.

TD and the Company jointly own the TD Ameritrade name. The Company has agreed to be responsible for the registration, maintenance and prosecution of any trademark applications and registrations for the TD Ameritrade name. The Company and TD have each agreed to be responsible for 50% of the costs and expenses associated with the registration, maintenance and prosecution of the TD Ameritrade trademark.

The Company has agreed to indemnify TD for liability incurred by TD as a result of the Company’s (and any of its sublicensees’) breach of its obligations under the trademark license agreement. TD has agreed to indemnify the Company for liability incurred by the Company so long as the Company’s actions are in accordance with the terms of the trademark license agreement and the Company’s use of the TD Ameritrade name or the TD logo is in a jurisdiction where TD has trademark applications or registrations or is using or has used the TD trademark or logo.

The trademark license agreement had an initial term of 10 years beginning June 22, 2005 and is automatically renewable for additional periods of 10 years, unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, each of TD and the Ricketts stockholders are entitled to certain customary demand registration, shelf takedown and piggyback registration rights with respect to their respective shares of Company common stock, subject to certain customary limitations (including minimum offering size and maximum number of demands and underwritten shelf takedowns within certain periods).

Board Independence

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. Under the rules of The Nasdaq Global Select Market, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of The Nasdaq Global Select Market require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating committees must be independent. Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule

10A-3

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Under the rules of The Nasdaq Global Select Market, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule

10A-3,

a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our board of directors has undertaken a review of its composition, the composition of its committees and the independence of our directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board of directors has determined that Mses. Hailey, Maidment and Miller and Messrs. Bettino, Levitt, Mitchell, Moglia, Prezzano, Ricketts and Tessler are independent as defined in Nasdaq Rule 5605. Our board of directors also determined that Mses. Hailey, Maidment and Miller and Messrs. Bettino, Mitchell and Ricketts, who comprise our audit committee; Messrs. Bettino, Levitt, Mitchell, Ricketts and Tessler, who comprise our compensation committee; and Ms. Hailey and Messrs. Bettino, Mitchell, Ricketts and Tessler who comprise our Outside Independent Directors Committee, satisfy the independence standards for those committees established by applicable SEC rules and the rules of The Nasdaq Global Select Market.

In making this determination, our board of directors considered the relationships that each

non-employee

director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each

non-employee

director.

Policy on Audit Committee

Pre-Approval

of Audit and

Non-Audit

Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee is responsible for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has established a policy regarding

pre-approval

of all audit and

non-audit

services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm.

On an ongoing basis, management communicates specific projects and categories of service for which the advance approval of the Audit Committee is requested.

The Audit Committee reviews these requests and advises management if the committee approves the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm. No services are undertaken that are not

pre-approved.

On a periodic basis, management reports to the Audit Committee regarding the actual spending for such projects and services compared to the approved amounts. All of the services provided by our independent auditor in 2019 and 2018, including services related to audit, audit-related fees, tax fees and all other fees described above, were approved by the Audit Committee under its

pre-approval

policies.

The term “GAAP” refers to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

(1)

Non-GAAP

diluted earnings per share (EPS) is a

non-GAAP

financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G.

Non-GAAP

EPS is adjusted to remove the

after-tax

effect of: (1) amortization of acquired intangible assets and (2) acquisition-related expenses associated with the Company’s business acquisitions. We consider

non-GAAP

diluted EPS as an important measure of our financial performance because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of our core operating results and business outlook and may be useful in evaluating the operating performance of the business and facilitating a meaningful comparison of our results in the current period to those in prior and future periods. Amortization of acquired intangible assets is excluded because management does not believe it is indicative of our underlying business performance. Acquisition-related expenses are excluded as these costs are not representative of the costs of running the Company’s

on-going

business.

Non-GAAP

diluted EPS should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, GAAP diluted EPS.
