Joint Press Release from Charles Schwab and T.D. Waterhouse USA
SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, May 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Charles
Schwab Corporation (NYSE / Nasdaq: SCH) and TD Waterhouse USA agreed today to
settle the lawsuit filed by The Charles Schwab Corporation against TD
Waterhouse Group, Inc. on March 14, 2005, alleging that TD Waterhouse
advertisements had unfairly linked Charles Schwab's pricing and commission
structure with full commission brokerage firms like Merrill Lynch. Under the
terms of the agreement TD Waterhouse will discontinue the advertisements
challenged by Schwab.
In addition, TD Waterhouse apologized for certain of its television
advertisements which characterized Schwab as among "higher priced" brokerage
firms and which may have created negative impressions about the quality of
Schwab's customer service.
The prompt resolution was the result of both companies' desire to move forward
with their businesses, without the distraction and expense of litigation.
