Citigroup is leading a $2.2 billion bank financing backing Ameritrade's acquisition of TD Waterhouse Group, the U.S. discount brokerage operation of Toronto Dominion Bank. The combined entity will operate under the name TD Ameritrade. The deal consists of a five-year, $300 million revolver; a six-year, $250 million term loan "A" and a seven-year, $1.65 billion term loan "B." Pricing could not be determined by press time.
