Toronto-Dominion Financial institution management adjustments
In its announcement, TD confirmed that 41 executives, together with some who’ve left the group, had their bonus funds decreased final yr. These changes, totalling US$30 million, have been carried out in response to the bank’s regulatory challenges and associated costs.
“TD has adjusted government compensation to mirror the seriousness of the US AML failures, the related prices to the financial institution, and the restrictions imposed on the US retail enterprise,” the financial institution mentioned, as reported by Bloomberg.
Masrani obtained no performance-based compensation for the yr, leaving him with a complete pay of US$1.5 million, down considerably from US$13.3 million within the prior yr. His pay reduce accounted for greater than one-third of the general government compensation reductions.
Monetary and regulatory impression
TD’s AML points culminated in late 2024 when the financial institution reached a settlement with US regulators, agreeing to pay roughly US$3.1 billion in penalties. The violations, which included failures to identify and address money-laundering activities, resulted in extra regulatory restrictions on TD’s US operations.
Past the settlement, TD cancelled its proposed US$13.4 billion acquisition of First Horizon Corp, citing regulatory considerations tied to its compliance challenges. The termination of the deal incurred a US$200 million breakup price.
