The Board believes that management speaks for TD Banknorth. Directors may, from time to time, be contacted by sellers of businesses or merger partners, governmental or community officials, analysts or the press to comment on or discuss TD Banknorth's business. Directors are expected to refrain from communicating with any of the foregoing without prior consultation with the Chairman or CEO. Any director contacted in response to any inquiry with respect to TD Banknorth by any governmental official shall notify the General Counsel of TD Banknorth. Directors also may, from time to time, discuss business with customers, suppliers and others. While directors are free to engage in these discussions, they should advise appropriate members of executive management of the substantive matters of those discussions. In no event shall any director disclose any material non-public information concerning TD Banknorth without the consent of TD Banknorth, and all directors shall adhere to and be in full compliance with TD Banknorth's Policy on Insider Trading. In the event that a director inadvertently discloses information that may be material and non-public, he or she should immediately advise the General Counsel of TD Banknorth. |
