5   Based on the provisions relating to voting agreements and (except with respect to the Ricketts Grandchildren’s Trust) the grant of proxies contained in the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting power over the shares beneficially owned by the TD Entities. Based on information provided by the TD Entities, as of March 8, 2006, the TD Entities beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 197,907,350 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 32.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

     This Amendment No. 1 hereby amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 25, 2006 (the “Original Statement” and, as it may be amended hereby from time to time hereafter, the “Statement”) by J. Joe Ricketts, Marlene M. Ricketts and the Ricketts Grandchildren’s Trust with respect to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), of TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“TD Ameritrade” or the “Issuer”). Unless otherwise indicated herein, terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the respective meanings herein as are given to such terms in the Statement.
Item 2. Identity and Background
     Item 2 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
     The shares of Common Stock held by the Marlene M. Ricketts 1994 Dynasty Trust and the J. Joe Ricketts 1996 Dynasty Trust (collectively, the “Dynasty Trusts”) were included in the Original Statement as shares held by J. Joe Ricketts and Marlene M. Ricketts, respectively. The trustees under each of the Dynasty Trusts, with sole voting and dispositive power, are the children of J. Joe Ricketts and Marlene M. Ricketts, namely John P. Ricketts, Thomas S. Ricketts, Laura M. Rickets and Todd M. Ricketts. Each of the trustees is a citizen of the United States, and the address for each trustee is c/o J. Joe Ricketts, TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, 4211 South 102nd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68127. Each of the Dynasty Trusts is a “Reporting Person” under the Statement.
     First National Bank of Omaha resigned as trustee of the Ricketts Grandchildren’s Trust effective on or about January 25, 2006, and was replaced as trustee by Bessemer Trust Company, N.A., 630 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10111. Bessemer Trust Company, N.A. is a national association organized under the laws of the United States.
     During the last five years, neither of the Dynasty Trusts nor, to the knowledge of any Reporting Person, Bessemer Trust Company, N.A. has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
     Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
     Effective February 22, 2006, each of the Reporting Persons and the TD Entities executed an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement (the “Amendment”) whereby, among other things, the obligation of the TD Entities to commence a cash tender offer, at a price of at least $16 per share, was terminated. Pursuant to the Amendment, the TD Entities have instead agreed to purchase at least 15 million shares of Issuer Common Stock prior to August 22, 2006 through open market purchases in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. In connection with entering into the Amendment, the TD Entities also stated their current intention to acquire, in addition to the 15 million shares they committed to purchase pursuant to the Amendment, another 15 million shares of Issuer Common Stock by January 24, 2007, through open market purchases or otherwise. However, the TD Entities are under no obligation to purchase any shares in excess of the 15 million shares required by the Amendment and may determine to purchase the minimum number of shares required by the Amendment or some amount in excess of such minimum. The Issuer has agreed that it will not repurchase any of its Common Stock prior to August 22, 2006 (or such earlier date as the TD Entities provide the Issuer with notice that they have completed their obligation to purchase the 15 million shares of Issuer Common Stock required by the Amendment).
     Following the acquisition by the TD Entities of the 15 million shares of Issuer Common Stock required by the Amendment, and based on information provided by the TD Entities, the TD Entities would beneficially own 211,307,350 shares of Issuer Common Stock, representing approximately 35% of the currently outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock (assuming no other changes to the TD Entities’ beneficial ownership of shares of Issuer Common Stock). If the TD Entities acquire all of the additional 15 million shares the TD Entities have stated they

7 of 11


 

currently intend to acquire, and based on information provided by the TD Entities, the TD Entities would beneficially own 226,307,350 shares of Issuer Common Stock, or approximately 37.5% of the currently outstanding shares of Issuer Common Stock (assuming no other changes to the TD Entities’ beneficial ownership of shares of Issuer Common Stock).
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     Parts (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the Statement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
     The following table sets forth the aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (identifying those shares which there is a right to acquire) by each of the Reporting Persons individually and by all of the Reporting Persons together. Based on information provided to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer, there were 603,431,799 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on January 24, 2006 (including 196,300,000 shares of Common Stock that were issued to TDDBH as part of the Transaction).
