NEW YORK, March 14, 2017 – Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of all persons or entities who acquired The Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD) securities between December 3, 2015 and March 9, 2017 (the “Class Period”).
According to the lawsuit, Defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) TD Bank’s wealth asset growth and increased fee-based revenue was spurred by a performance management system that led to its employees breaking the law at their customer’s expense in order to meet sales targets; (2) TD Bank illicitly increased customer’s lines of credit and overdraft protection amounts without their knowledge; (3) TD Bank illicitly upgraded customers to higher-fee accounts without informing them; (4) TD Bank lied to customers as to the risk of TD Bank’s products; and (5) as a result, defendants’ statements about TD Bank’s business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
If you purchased or otherwise acquired TD Bank securities during the Class Period and suffered a loss or continue to hold shares purchased prior to the Class Period, have information, would like to learn more about these claims, or have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Melissa A.
