First Horizon Corporation announced it has received shareholder approval for The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) to acquire First Horizon. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of TD's 2023 fiscal year subject to U.S. and Canadian regulatory approvals and the completion of other necessary closing conditions.
"Approval of the transaction demonstrates the confidence our shareholders have in the financial and strategic benefits of the transaction and the value it provides our associates, clients and communities," said President and Chief Executive Officer Bryan Jordan. "Following the completion of the transaction, the combined organization will have immediate scale benefits and be well positioned to create extraordinary value with a shared customer-centric strategy and broader client capabilities."
The $13.4 billion deal was announced in February.
