Item 5.04 Temporary Suspension of Trading Under Registrant’s Employee Benefit Plans

As previously reported on a current report on Form 8-K filed on August 25, 2010 by The South Financial Group, Inc. (the “Registrant” or “TSFG”), TSFG provided notices on August 25, 2010 to its directors and executive officers and to all participants, alternate payees and beneficiaries informing them that they would be temporarily unable to effect certain transactions under The South Financial Group, Inc. 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”) (the “Blackout Period”) in connection with the acquisition by The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD”) of TSFG via a merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD with and into TSFG (the “Merger”). The notices provided that the Blackout Period would begin at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on September 24, 2010 and was expected to end on October 4, 2010, but could be delayed until later that week.

On September 30, 3010, the Merger was consummated, and on October 1, 2010, an updated notice was provided to all participants, alternate payees and beneficiaries under the Plan informing them that the Blackout Period had been extended until October 8, 2010 to accommodate administrative work. A copy of the notice is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Re:	Extension of The South Financial Group Unitized Stock Fund Blackout Period

          This notice is being sent to you because the blackout period for trading the The South Financial Group Unitized Stock Fund needs to be extended to accommodate administrative work.

          As we mentioned in our Blackout Notice to you which was distributed and dated August 25, 2010, we had anticipated that all the work necessary to permit us to lift the blackout period and permit trading on the TSFG Unitized Stock Fund would be done by Monday, October 4, 2010.

          We now have more information and better estimates from the many groups who are doing the work to get this done. This new information leads us to believe that the work will not be completed by October 4, 2010 as previously anticipated.

          For that reason, we are notifying you that we are extending the blackout period to Friday, October 8, 2010. However, we anticipate that we will be able to lift the Blackout period prior to that. If we are able to lift the Blackout prior to Friday, October 8, 2010, we will notify you via normal communication channels.

          This means that if you have requested or wish to request any of the following transactions, your request may be delayed until the work can be completed and the Blackout lifted:

1.	Obtain a loan.
2.	Make a withdrawal or distribution.
3.	Engage in transactions involving your TSFGU or TDBU account balances (i.e., transfers into or out of, or changing allocation percentages to/from these accounts).

          This notice is provided in accordance with the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

If you have any questions about this notice or your rights during the
blackout period, please contact American Pensions
