DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-144019) which was declared effective on August 7, 2007 (the “Registration Statement”), is being filed to deregister unsold common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and/or warrants of thinkorswim Group Inc. (the “Company”).
     On January 8, 2009, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) with TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation (“TD AMERITRADE”), Tango Acquisition Corporation One (“Merger Sub One”) and Tango Acquisition Corporation Two (“Merger Sub Two”). The Agreement contemplated that Merger Sub One would be merged with and into the Company (the “First Step Merger”) and that the Company would survive the First Step Merger. Immediately following the First Step Merger, the Company was to merge with and into Merger Sub Two (the “Second Step Merger” and, taken together with the First Step Merger, the “Merger”) and Merger Sub Two would survive the Second Step Merger. The Merger became effective on June 11, 2009 (the “Effective Date”) as a result of filing a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
     As of the Effective Date, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was cancelled and (other than Shares owned by (i) the Company, TD AMERITRADE or any subsidiary of TD AMERITRADE or (ii) shareholders who properly exercised the statutory rights of appraisal under the Delaware General Corporation Law) converted into the right to receive $3.34 in cash, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes, and 0.3980 of a share of TD AMERITRADE common stock.
     As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of its securities pursuant to its existing registration statements, including the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post—effective amendment any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration any securities registered under the Registration Statement which remained unsold as of the Effective Time.
