The Board of Directors of TCF Financial and TCF Bank have each adopted a Capital Plan and Dividend Policy. The policies define
how enterprise risk related to capital will be managed, how the adequacy of capital will be measured and the process by which
capital strategy, capital management and preferred and common stock dividend recommendations will be presented to TCF’s
Board of Directors. TCF’s management is charged with ensuring that capital strategy actions, including the declaration of
preferred and common stock dividends, are prudent, efficient and provide value to TCF’s stockholders, while ensuring that past
and prospective earnings retention is consistent with TCF’s capital needs, asset quality, risk profile and overall financial condition.
The Board of Directors intends to continue its practice of paying quarterly cash dividends on TCF’s common stock as justified by
the financial condition of TCF. The declaration and amount of future dividends will depend on circumstances existing at the time,
including TCF’s earnings, level of internally generated common capital excluding earnings, financial condition and capital
requirements, the cash available to pay such dividends (derived mainly from dividends and distributions from TCF Bank), as well
as regulatory and contractual limitations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem relevant. Also, dividends for
the current dividend period on all outstanding shares of preferred stock must be declared and paid or declared and a sum
sufficient for the payment thereof must be set aside before any dividend may be declared or paid on TCF’s common stock. In
general, TCF Bank may not declare or pay a dividend to TCF Financial in excess of 100% of its net retained profits for that year
combined with its net retained profits for the preceding two calendar years without prior approval of the OCC. Restrictions on the
ability of TCF Bank to pay cash dividends or possible diminished earnings of TCF may limit the ability of TCF Financial to pay
dividends in the future to holders of its preferred and common stock. In addition, the ability of TCF Financial and TCF Bank to pay
dividends depends on regulatory policies and capital requirements and may be subject to regulatory approval. See ‘‘Item 1.
Business – Regulation – Regulatory Capital Requirements’’, ‘‘Item 1. Business – Regulation – Restrictions on Distributions’’ and
Note 14 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
