Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 30, 2010, Hunt Merger Sub, Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD”), merged with and into The South Financial Group, Inc. (“TSFG”) (the “Merger”) in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 16, 2010, among TD, Merger Sub and TSFG (the “Merger Agreement”). As a result of the Merger, TSFG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of TSFG common stock (except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement) was converted into and became exchangeable for 0.004 shares of TD common stock (with cash in lieu of any fractional shares) or $0.28 in cash.

Upon the closing of the Merger, TSFG became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD and the shares of TSFG common stock, which traded under the symbol “TSFG”, have ceased trading on, and are being delisted from, the NASDAQ Capital Market.

The description of the Merger contained in this Item 2.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

In connection with the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, TSFG notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) on September 30, 2010 that each share of common stock of TSFG (except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 0.004 TD common shares (with cash in lieu of any fractional shares) or $0.28 in cash, and requested that NASDAQ file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) an application on Form 25 to report that the shares of common stock of TSFG are no longer listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

Item 5.01 Change in Control of Registrant.

On September 30, 2010, TSFG completed the previously announced merger with Merger Sub pursuant to the Merger Agreement. As contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into TSFG and TSFG is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD. As a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of TSFG common stock (except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement) was converted into the right to receive 0.004 TD common shares (with cash in lieu of any fractional shares) or $0.28 in cash.

The preceding disclosure in Item 3.01 and 5.01 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
