This Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the purchase of 750 shares of Series 2049 Muni-MultiMode Preferred Shares (CUSIP No. 24610V806) (the “MMP Shares”) of Delaware Investments Minnesota Municipal Income Fund II, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This Statement is being filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined below) as a result of the purchase of the MMP Shares by Toronto Dominion Investments, Inc. (“TDI”). The Issuer’s principal executive offices are located at 2005 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19103.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

This Statement is being filed on behalf of TDI, a Delaware corporation, Toronto Dominion Holdings (U.S.A.), Inc. (“TDH”), a Delaware corporation, TD Group US Holdings LLC (“TD GUS”), a Delaware limited liability company, and The Toronto-Dominion Bank, a Canadian chartered bank (“TD” and, together with TDI, TDH and TD GUS, the “TD Entities” or the “Reporting Persons”). TD and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the business of personal, commercial and wholesale banking and wealth management. TDI’s principal business is limited lending and investing. The address of TDI’s principal office and TDH’s principal office is 31 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019. The address of TD GUS’ principal office is 251 Little Falls Drive, Wellington, Delaware 19808. The address of TD’s principal office is Toronto-Dominion Centre, P.O. Box 1, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5K 1A2.

 

Information concerning each executive officer, director and controlling person of TDI, TDH and TD is listed on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Listed Persons”), and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

During the last five years, the Reporting Persons have not, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons none of the Listed Persons have, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or were a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person 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 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The aggregate amount of funds used by the Reporting Persons to purchase the MMP Shares reported herein was $75,000,000. The source of funds was retained earnings of TDI.

 

The Reporting Persons declare that neither the filing of this Statement nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or any other purpose, (i) acting (or has agreed or is agreeing to act together with any other person) as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities of the Issuer or otherwise with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer or (ii) a member of any group with respect to the Issuer or any securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

 

TDI has purchased the MMP Shares for investment purposes.

 

The Reporting Persons have not acquired the MMP Shares with any purpose, or with the effect of, changing or influencing control of the Issuer, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect.

 

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)—(b) The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (11) of the cover pages of this Statement are incorporated herein by reference.

 

As of April 25, 2019, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 750 MMP Shares representing 100% of the outstanding MMP Shares of the Issuer. The 750 MMP Shares reported herein consist of 750 MMP Shares over which TDI is the record and beneficial owner. TDH is the sole owner of TDI and accordingly beneficially owns the MMP Shares held by TDI. TD GUS is the sole owner of TDH and accordingly beneficially owns the MMP Shares held by TDI. TD is the sole owner of TD GUS and accordingly beneficially owns the MMP Shares held by TDI.

 

(c) There have been no transactions in the MMP Shares that were effected during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons other than as reported in this Statement.

 

(d) No other person is known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the MMP Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

The responses of the Reporting Persons to Item 4 are incorporated herein by reference. With respect to the MMP Shares owned by TDI, on April 25, 2019, TDI assigned certain voting rights on the MMP Shares to a voting trust (the “Voting Trust”) created pursuant to the Amended and Restated Term Preferred Shares Voting Trust Agreement, dated as of February 23, 2018, among TDI, Lord Securities Corporation, as voting trustee (the “Voting Trustee”) and Glass Lewis & Co., LLC (the “Voting Consultant”). Voting rights on the MMP Shares not assigned to the Voting Trust have been retained by TDI. The Voting Trust provides that, with respect to voting matters relating to the voting rights assigned to the Voting Trust, the Voting Consultant analyzes such voting matters and makes a recommendation to the Voting Trustee on voting. The Voting Trustee is obligated to follow any such recommendations of the Voting Consultant when providing a vote.
