Repurchase Agreement

TD LUXEMBOURG INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS SARL

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Introductory.          The Charles Schwab Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to repurchase from TD Luxembourg International Holdings SARL (the “Seller”) on the Closing Date (as defined below) the Shares (as defined below).

Each of the Company and the Seller understands that, subject to market and other conditions and in the sole discretion of the Seller, the Seller intends to sell a number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), to be determined by the Seller but not to be fewer than ten million shares of Common Stock, in one or more transactions, each taking the form of an auction-style block trade (the “144 Sales”) through one or more brokers (collectively, the “Brokers”), each of which is to comply with the requirements of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), that are applicable to resales of securities held by an “affiliate,” as such term is defined in the Act.

The Company hereby confirms its agreements with the Seller as follows:

Section 1.    Purchase, Sale and Delivery of the Shares.

(a)    The Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to repurchase from the Seller, and the Seller agrees to sell to the Company, the maximum number of whole shares of the Company’s nonvoting common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), at a price per share equal to the Purchase Price, as results in an aggregate purchase price not in excess of $1,000,000,000, payable on the Closing Date (the “Repurchase”). As used herein, “Purchase Price” shall mean the lowest price per share at which any one Broker purchases shares of Common Stock from the Seller in connection with the 144 Sales.

(b)    The Closing Date. Payment for the Shares shall be made to the Seller in federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of the Shares for the account of the Company at 9:00 a.m., New York City time on August 3, 2022, or at such other time and on such other date as the Company and the Seller shall mutually agree (the time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”)

(c)    Payment for the Shares. Payment for the Shares shall be made on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of the Seller.

(d)    Delivery of the Shares. The Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as the Company shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date. The Shares shall be delivered to the Company on the Closing Date for the account of the Company.


Section 2.    Conditions of the Obligations of the Company. The obligations of the Seller to deliver the Shares and the Company to repurchase and pay for the Shares, in each case as provided herein on the Closing Date, shall be subject to the execution of the 144 Sales by 10:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day following the date hereof.

Section 3.    Automatic Termination. If the condition specified in Section 2 is not satisfied by the day and time specified therein, and as required to be satisfied, this Agreement will automatically terminate unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, which automatic termination shall be without liability on the part of any party to any other party, except that Section 7 shall at all times be effective and shall survive such automatic termination.
