At the Annual of Meeting of stockholders of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation on February 16,
2011, the stockholders re-approved, without amendment or change, the performance-based compensation
measures to be used under TD Ameritrade’s long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) and management
incentive plan (“MIP”), as required by section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under the LTIP, incentives are provided to employees, consultants and directors of TD
Ameritrade or any of its present or future parents or subsidiaries through the grant of
stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units,
performance shares and performance units. A total of 42,104,174 shares of common stock, subject to
adjustment, have been reserved for the granting of awards. The LTIP contains annual grant limits
intended to satisfy section 162(m).
Under the MIP, payments to eligible employees are generally only made after the achievement of
any one or more of the applicable performance goals set forth in the MIP. These awards can be paid
in cash or in the form of restricted shares, restricted stock units or stock options under any of
TD Ameritrade’s stock plans. The MIP contains annual award limits intended to satisfy section
162(m). In the case of awards intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exemption
under section 162(m), administration must be by a compensation committee comprised solely of two or
more “outside directors” within the meaning of section 162(m). The LTIP and the MIP are
administered by the H.R. and Compensation Committee of TD Ameritrade.
For more information about the LTIP and MIP, see our definitive proxy statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on January 7, 2011. The description above and such portions of
the proxy statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the LTIP and
MIP, filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and
incorporated herein by reference.
