Important information regarding leverage risk disclosure

Using borrowed money to finance the purchase of securities involves greater risk than a purchase using cash resources only. If you borrow money to purchase securities, your responsibility to repay the loan and pay interest as required by its terms remains the same, even if the value of the securities purchased declines.

Important notice for insiders and significant shareholders

In an effort to maintain a level playing field for all investors, Canadian securities industry regulations require insiders and significant shareholders of publicly traded companies to disclose their status when opening a brokerage account and advise of any changes of status as they occur.

Please note there have been some changes to Canadian securities legislation regarding insider and significant shareholder reporting requirements. As of April 30, 2010, only individuals who are considered a reporting insider are required to disclose their status when placing trades on securities issued by the company with which they are connected, when placing trades on equities and options issued by, or related to, the company with which they are associated, when the trades are entered on any Canadian exchange or market.

The same requirement applies if you or the account holder has trading authority for, control over, a financial interest in, and/or a beneficial ownership in, an account. Clients of TD Waterhouse Discount Brokerage who are reporting insiders of publicly traded companies are able to declare their status when placing orders on WebBroker^® or TD Waterhouse Active Trader^® platform. These orders cannot be placed via TeleMax^® or TalkBroker^®, but you can place orders through an Investment Representative and indicate your reporting insider status. There are restrictions that apply to the sale of securities on the TSX when one is an insider and significant shareholder or reporting insider.

For further information, or to update your information with regard to your insider or significant shareholder status, including whether you are a reporting insider, please call an Investment Representative at 1-800-465-5463. We would be happy to assist you, anytime, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Thank you for choosing TD Waterhouse.
