To help TCF in verifying the sender's status as a stockholder, all letters must include:

• Stockholder name
• Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)
• Address
• Phone number

All letters are screened for appropriateness by an internal TCF response team. If the letter is not appropriate, the team will notify the sender at once. If the letter is appropriate, the team will conduct research and provide it to the Director(s) or relevant Board Committee, with the letter. Directors are advised of all letters received, including those not appropriate. Directors will respond to all appropriate letters within six months, although in some circumstances more time is required.

TCF's Board of Directors and non-management directors designate TCF's General Counsel to receive all letters in compliance with NYSE Corporate Governance Standards section 303A.03. The General Counsel will provide appropriate letters to a particular Committee Chair or director or to the non-management directors as a group if the sender specifically addresses their letter to such person(s).
