WAYZATA, MN, February 23, 2010 — TCF Financial Corporation (“TCF”) (NYSE:TCB) today announced that its public offering of 10,715,000 shares of its common stock has priced at $14.00 per share for gross proceeds of $150,010,000.

TCF has also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,607,250 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at the same price for potential additional gross proceeds of $22,501,500.
