Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities Based on the Value of the Nasdaq-100 Index® due September 8, 2028
Principal at Risk Securities
The Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities or “Buffered Securities” will pay no interest and provide a minimum payment at maturity of only 15.00% of the stated principal amount. At
maturity, if the final index value of the underlying index is greater than the initial index value, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus the upside performance of the underlying index, subject to the maximum
upside payment at maturity. If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value, but not by more than the buffer amount of 15.00%, investors will receive at maturity the stated principal amount of their investment plus a positive return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline, which will effectively be limited to a positive 15.00% return. However, if the final index value is less than the initial index value
by more than the buffer amount, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final index value falls below the initial index value in excess of the buffer amount and could lose up to 85.00% of the stated principal amount. Accordingly, the Buffered
Securities do not guarantee the full return of principal at maturity and you could lose up to 85.00% of your investment in the Buffered Securities. The Buffered Securities are for investors who seek an index-based return and who are willing to risk
their principal and forgo current income and upside above the maximum upside payment at maturity in exchange for the buffer and absolute return features that, in each case, apply to a limited range of performance of the underlying index. The Buffered
Securities are senior unsecured debt securities issued by The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD” or “we”). The Buffered Securities are notes issued as part of TD’s Senior Debt Securities, Series H.
All payments on the Buffered Securities are subject to the credit risk of TD. If TD were to default on its payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the
Buffered Securities and you could lose your entire investment in the Buffered Securities. These Buffered Securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any security interest in, or otherwise have any access to, any underlying reference
asset or assets.

carefully consider whether an investment that does not provide for any dividends, interest payments or exposure to the positive performance of the underlying index beyond a value that exceeds the maximum upside gain is appropriate for you.
|
| ■ |
To provide a positive return for a limited range of negative performance of the underlying index.

Key Investment Rationale
Investors can use the Buffered Securities to obtain upside exposure to the underlying index, up to the maximum upside gain and, through the absolute return feature, to earn a positive
return for a limited range of negative performance of the underlying index. If the final index value is greater than the initial index value, investors will receive the stated principal amount of their investment plus
the upside performance of the underlying index, subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity. If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value, but not by more than the buffer amount of 15.00%, investors will receive the
stated principal amount of their investment plus a positive return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline, which will effectively be limited to a positive 15.00% return. However, if the final
index value is less than the initial index value by more than the buffer amount, investors will lose 1% for every 1% that the final index value falls below the initial index value in excess of the buffer amount. Investors may lose up to 85.00% of
their investment in the Buffered Securities. All payments on the Buffered Securities are subject to the credit risk of TD. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the
terms of the Buffered Securities.
Investors will not be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the index constituent stocks and the Buffered Securities do not pay periodic interest. You should carefully consider whether an investment that
does not provide for any dividends or periodic interest is appropriate for you.
|
Absolute Return Feature
|
The Buffered Securities offer investors an opportunity to earn a positive return if the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value
but not by more than the buffer amount.
|
||
|
Upside Scenario
|
The Buffered Securities offer investors an opportunity to earn a positive return if the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value
but not by more than the buffer amount.
|
||
|
Absolute Return Scenario
|
If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value, but not by more than the buffer amount, at maturity you will receive a 1%
positive return for each 1% negative return of the underlying index. For example, if the final index value is 5% less than the initial index value, the Buffered Securities will provide a total positive return of 5% at maturity. The maximum
return you may receive in this scenario is a positive 15.00% return at maturity.
|
||
|
Downside Scenario
|
If the final index value is less than the initial index value by more than the buffer amount, at maturity you will receive less than the stated principal
amount and you will lose 1% for every 1% that the final index value has fallen below the initial index value in excess of the buffer amount. For example, if the underlying return is -45%, each Buffered Security will redeem for $700.00, or
70% of the stated principal amount. The minimum payment at maturity on the Buffered Securities is 15.00% of the stated principal amount and you could lose up to 85.00% of your investment in the Buffered
Securities.

How the Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities Work
Hypothetical Examples
The below examples are based on the following terms and are purely hypothetical (the actual terms of your Buffered Securities will be determined on the pricing date
and will be specified in the final pricing supplement):
Investors will not be entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the index constituent stocks or any periodic interest. You should carefully consider whether an investment that does not
provide for any dividends or periodic interest is appropriate for you. All payments on the Buffered Securities are subject to our credit risk.
|
Stated principal amount:
|
$1,000.00 per Buffered Security
|
|
|
Buffer amount:
|
15.00%
|
|
|
Hypothetical initial index value:
|
100.00
|
|
|
Maximum upside payment at maturity:
|
$1,258.80 per Buffered Security
|
|
|
Maximum upside gain:
|
25.88%
|
|
|
Minimum payment at maturity:
|
$150.00 (15.00% of the stated principal amount)
|
EXAMPLE 1: The value of the underlying index increases over the term of the Buffered Securities and the payment at maturity is less than the maximum upside
payment at maturity.
|
Final index value
|
103.00
|
|
Underlying return
|
(103.00 – 100.00) / 100.00 = 3.00%
|
|
Payment at maturity
|
= $1,000.00 + upside payment, subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity
|
|
= $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × underlying return), subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity
|
|
|
= $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × 3.00%), subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity
|
|
|
= $1,030.00
|
|
|
In Example 1, the final index value is greater than the initial index value and the underlying return is 3.00%.
Accordingly, investors receive the stated principal amount at maturity plus a return equal to the underlying return, resulting in a payment at maturity of $1,030.00 per Buffered Security (a total return of 3.00%).
|
|
EXAMPLE 2: The value of the underlying index increases over the term of the Buffered Securities such that the payment at maturity is equal to the maximum upside
payment at maturity.
|
Final index value
|
150.00
|
|
Underlying return
|
(150.00 – 100.00) / 100.00 = 50.00%
|
|
Payment at maturity
|
= $1,000.00 + upside payment, subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity
|
|
= $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × underlying return), subject to the maximum upside payment at maturity
|
|
|
= maximum upside payment at maturity of $1,258.80 per Buffered Security
|
|
|
In Example 2, the final index value is greater than the initial index value and the underlying return is 50.00%. Under
the terms of the Buffered Securities, investors will realize the maximum upside payment at maturity if the underlying return is 25.88% or higher. Therefore, in this example, investors receive the maximum upside payment at maturity of
$1,258.80 per stated principal amount, even though the underlying index has appreciated by an amount significantly greater than the return represented by the maximum upside payment at maturity.

EXAMPLE 3: The final index value is less than the initial index value, but not by more than the buffer amount.
|
Final index value
|
95.00
|
|
Underlying return
|
(95.00 – 100.00) / 100.00 = -5.00%
|
|
Payment at maturity
|
= $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × absolute underlying return)
|
|
= $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × |-5.00%|)
|
|
|
= $1,050.00
|
|
|
In Example 3, the final index value is less than the initial index value and the underlying return is -5.00%. Accordingly, investors
receive the stated principal amount at maturity plus a positive return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline, resulting in a payment at maturity of $1,050.00 per Buffered Security (a total return of 5.00%).
|
|
|
EXAMPLE 4: The final index value is less than the initial index value by more than the buffer amount.
|
|
|
Final index value
|
40.00
|
|
Underlying return
|
(40.00 – 100.00) / 100.00 = -60.00%
|
|
Payment at maturity
|
= $1,000.00 + [$1,000.00 × (underlying return + buffer amount)]
|
|
= $1,000.00 + [$1,000.00 × (-60.00% + 15.00%)]
|
|
|
= $1,000.00 - $450.00
|
|
|
= $550.00
|
|
|
In Example 4, the final index value is less than the initial index value and the underlying return is -60.00%. Because the final index value is less
than the initial index value by more than the buffer amount, investors receive a payment at maturity of $550.00 per Buffered Security (a return on investment of -45.00%).
|
|
|
If the final index value is less than the initial index value by more than the buffer amount, you will lose 1% for every 1% that the final index value
falls below the initial index value in excess of the buffer amount and could lose up to 85.00% of your investment in the Buffered Securities.

Risk Factors
The following is a non-exhaustive list of certain key risk factors for investors in the Buffered Securities. For further discussion of these and other risks, you should read the
section entitled “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” of the accompanying product supplement and “Risk Factors” of the accompanying prospectus. We also urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors
concerning an investment in the Buffered Securities.
Risks Relating to Return Characteristics
| ■ |
You may lose up to 85.00% of your investment in the Buffered Securities. The Buffered Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that TD will not necessarily repay the stated principal amount
of the Buffered Securities at maturity. If the final index value is less than the initial index value by more than the buffer amount, you will lose 1% of your principal for every 1% that the final index value falls below the initial index
value in excess of the buffer amount. You may lose up to 85.00% of your investment in the Buffered Securities.
|
| ■ |
The stated payout from the issuer applies only at maturity. You should be willing to hold your Buffered Securities to maturity. The stated payout, including the potential to benefit from the upside
payment or absolute return features, is available only if you hold your Buffered Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Buffered Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative
to your investment in the Buffered Securities even if the then-current value of the underlying index is less than the initial index value but not by more than the buffer amount.
|
| ■ |
The potential positive return on the Buffered Securities from any negative performance of the underlying index is limited by the buffer amount and the return on the Buffered Securities may change
significantly despite only a small difference in the degree of change of the final index value relative to the initial index value. If the final index value is less than or equal to the initial index value but not by more than the
buffer amount, you will receive at maturity $1,000 plus a return equal to the absolute underlying return, which will reflect a 1% positive return for each 1% negative return on the underlying index. However, due to the buffer amount, your
return from the absolute return feature is effectively limited to 15.00% and the return on the Buffered Securities may change significantly despite only a small difference in the degree of change of the final index value relative to the
initial index value. While a decline from the initial index value to the final index value by a percentage that is less than or equal to buffer amount will result in a positive return equal to the absolute underlying return, a decline by more
than the buffer amount would instead result in a loss of 1% of your principal for every 1% that the final index value falls below the initial index value in excess of the buffer amount. The return on the Buffered Securities in these two
scenarios is significantly different despite only a small relative difference in the underlying return.
|
| ■ |
Your potential return on the Buffered Securities is limited to the maximum upside gain. The return potential of the Buffered Securities is limited to the maximum upside gain. Therefore, you will not
benefit from any positive underlying return in excess of an amount that exceeds the maximum upside gain. Your return on the Buffered Securities may be less than that of a hypothetical direct investment in the underlying index or the index
constituent stocks.
|
| ■ |
You will not receive any interest payments. TD will not pay any interest with respect to the Buffered Securities.
|
| ■ |
The amount payable on the Buffered Securities is not linked to the value of the underlying index at any time other than the valuation date. The final index value will be based on the index closing
value on the valuation date, subject to postponement for non-trading days and certain market disruption events. If the value of the underlying index falls on the valuation date, the payment at maturity may be significantly less than it would
have been had the payment at maturity been linked to the value of the underlying index at any time prior to such drop. Although the index closing value on the maturity date or at other times during the term of the Buffered Securities may be
more favorable to you than the index closing value on the valuation date, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the index closing value on the valuation date.
|
| ■ |
Owning the Buffered Securities is not the same as owning the index constituent stocks. The return on your Buffered Securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the
index constituent stocks. For instance, you will not benefit from any positive underlying return that exceeds the maximum upside gain. Furthermore, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions
paid on the index constituent stocks, and any such dividends or distributions will not be factored into the calculation of the payment at maturity on your Buffered Securities. In addition, as an owner of the Buffered Securities, you will not
have voting rights or any other rights that a holder of the index constituent stocks may have.
|
| ■ |
The absolute return feature is not the same as taking a short position directly in the underlying index or any index constituent stocks. The return on your Buffered Securities will not reflect the
return you may realize if you actually took a short position directly in the underlying index or any index constituent stocks. Unlike a direct short position in the underlying index or the index constituent stocks, which would entitle you to
fully benefit from
|
|
|
|

Principal at Risk Securities
|
any depreciation of the underlying index or such index constituent stocks, you will not benefit from any depreciation of the underlying index beyond an underlying return of -15.00%. To the
contrary, an underlying return of less than -15.00% will result in a loss of 1% of your principal for every 1% that the final index value falls below the initial index value in excess of the buffer amount, and you could lose up to 85.00% of your
investment in the Buffered Securities, as described above.
Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Underlying Index
| ■ |
An investment in the Buffered Securities involves market risk associated with the underlying index. The return on the Buffered Securities, which may be negative, is linked to the performance of the
underlying index and indirectly linked to the value of the index constituent stocks. The value of the underlying index can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the underlying index or its index constituent stocks and their issuers
(the “index constituent stock issuers”), such as stock or commodity price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general
market factors, such as general stock market or commodity market volatility and values, interest rates and economic, political and other conditions. You, as an investor in the Buffered Securities, should make your own investigation into the
underlying index and the index constituent stocks.
|
| ■ |
There can be no assurance that the investment view implicit in the Buffered Securities will be successful. It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the value of the underlying
index will rise or fall and there can be no assurance that the final index value will not be less than the initial index value by more than the buffer amount. The final index value (and therefore the underlying return) will be influenced by
complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect the index constituent stock issuers. You should be willing to accept the risks associated with the relevant markets tracked by the underlying index in
general and each index constituent stock in particular, and the risk of losing some and up to 85.00% of your investment in the Buffered Securities.
|
| ■ |
The underlying index reflects price return, not total return. The return on the Buffered Securities is based on the performance of the underlying index, which reflects the changes in the market
prices of the index constituent stocks. It is not, however, linked to a “total return” index or strategy, which, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would also reflect any dividends paid on the index constituent stocks. The return
on the Buffered Securities will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.
|
| ■ |
Changes affecting the underlying index could have an adverse effect on the market value of, and any amount payable on, the Buffered Securities. The policies of the index sponsor as specified under
“Information About the Underlying Index” (the “index sponsor”), concerning additions, deletions and substitutions of the index constituent stocks and the manner in which the index sponsor takes account of certain changes affecting those index
constituent stocks may adversely affect the value of the underlying index. The policies of the index sponsor with respect to the calculation of the underlying index could also adversely affect the value of the underlying index. The index
sponsor may discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the underlying index. Any such actions could have an adverse effect on the market value of, and any amount payable on, the Buffered Securities.
|
| ■ |
There is no affiliation between the index sponsor and TD, and TD is not responsible for any disclosure by such index sponsor. We or our affiliates may currently, or from time to time engage in
business with the index sponsor. However, we and our affiliates are not affiliated with the index sponsor and have no ability to control or predict its actions. You, as an investor in the Buffered Securities, should conduct your own
independent investigation of the index sponsor and the underlying index. The index sponsor is not involved in the Buffered Securities offered hereby in any way and has no obligation of any sort with respect to your Buffered Securities. The
index sponsor has no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking any actions that might affect the value of, and any amounts payable on, your Buffered Securities.
|
Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity
| ■ |
The estimated value of your Buffered Securities is expected to be less than the public offering price of your Buffered Securities. The estimated value of your Buffered Securities on the pricing date
is expected to be less than the public offering price of your Buffered Securities. The difference between the public offering price of your Buffered Securities and the estimated value of the Buffered Securities reflects costs and expected
profits associated with selling and structuring the Buffered Securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the Buffered Securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our
control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss.
|
| ■ |
The estimated value of your Buffered Securities is based on our internal funding rate. The estimated value of your Buffered Securities on the pricing date is determined by reference to our internal
funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Buffered Securities generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing
rate we would
|
|
|
|
Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities Based on the Value of the Nasdaq-100 Index® due September 8, 2028
Principal at Risk Securities
|
pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the Buffered Securities as well as the higher issuance,
operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Buffered Securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal
requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms
of the Buffered Securities to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the Buffered Securities is expected to increase the estimated value of the Buffered
Securities at any time.
| ■ |
The estimated value of the Buffered Securities is based on our internal pricing models, which may prove to be inaccurate and may be different from the pricing models of other financial institutions.
The estimated value of your Buffered Securities on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models when the terms of the Buffered Securities are set, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal funding rate on
the pricing date, and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’
pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the Buffered Securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Buffered Securities in the secondary
market. As a result, the secondary market price of your Buffered Securities may be materially less than the estimated value of the Buffered Securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and
other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
|
| ■ |
The estimated value of your Buffered Securities is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your Buffered Securities in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if any,
will likely be less than the public offering price of your Buffered Securities and may be less than the estimated value of your Buffered Securities. The estimated value of the Buffered Securities is not a prediction of the prices at
which the agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Buffered Securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which
you may be able to sell your Buffered Securities in the secondary market at any time, if any, will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may
be substantially less than the estimated value of the Buffered Securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your Buffered Securities take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not
take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the Buffered Securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the Buffered Securities, secondary market prices of your Buffered Securities
will likely be less than the public offering price of your Buffered Securities. As a result, the price at which the agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Buffered Securities from you in secondary
market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your Buffered Securities, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
| ■ |
The temporary price at which the agent may initially buy the Buffered Securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Buffered Securities. Assuming that all relevant
factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the agent may initially buy or sell the Buffered Securities in the secondary market (if the agent makes a market in the Buffered Securities, which it is not obligated to do)
may exceed the estimated value of the Buffered Securities on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the Buffered Securities, for a temporary period after the original issue date of the Buffered Securities, as discussed
further under “Additional Information About the Buffered Securities — Additional information regarding the estimated value of the Buffered Securities”. The price at which the agent may initially buy or sell the Buffered Securities in the
secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Buffered Securities.
|
| ■ |
The underwriting discount, offering expenses and certain hedging costs are likely to adversely affect secondary market prices. Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors,
the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the Buffered Securities will likely be less than the public offering price. The public offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, any underwriting discount
paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Buffered Securities. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other
transaction costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction.
|
| ■ |
There may not be an active trading market for the Buffered Securities — sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. There may be little or no secondary market for the Buffered
Securities. The Buffered Securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network. The agent or another one of our affiliates may make a market for the Buffered Securities; however, it is not
required to do so and may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the
|
|
|
|
Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities Based on the Value of the Nasdaq-100 Index® due September 8, 2028
Principal at Risk Securities
|
Buffered Securities develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a
result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your Buffered Securities in any secondary market could be substantial. If you sell your Buffered Securities before the maturity date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the
public offering price irrespective of the price of the underlying index, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
| ■ |
If the value of the underlying index changes, the market value of your Buffered Securities may not change in the same manner. Your Buffered Securities may trade quite differently from the performance
of the underlying index. Changes in the value of the underlying index may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your Buffered Securities. Even if the closing value of the underlying index increases to greater than the
initial index value during the term of the Buffered Securities, the market value of your Buffered Securities may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
|
Risks Relating to General Credit Characteristics
| ■ |
Investors are subject to TD’s credit risk, and TD’s credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Buffered Securities. Although the return on the Buffered Securities
will be based on the performance of the underlying index, the payment of any amount due on the Buffered Securities is subject to TD’s credit risk. The Buffered Securities are TD’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on
TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Buffered Securities and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of TD and to changes in the market’s view of TD’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in TD’s credit ratings or increase in the
credit spreads charged by the market for taking TD’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Buffered Securities. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive
any amounts due under the terms of the Buffered Securities.
|
Risks Relating to Hedging Activities and Conflicts of Interest
| ■ |
There are potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent. The calculation agent will, among other things, determine the amount payable on the Buffered Securities. We will serve
as the calculation agent and may appoint a different calculation agent after the original issue date without notice to you. The calculation agent will exercise its judgment when performing its functions and may have a conflict of interest if
it needs to make certain decisions. For example, the calculation agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting the underlying index has occurred, and make certain adjustments if certain events occur, which may, in
turn, depend on the calculation agent’s judgment as to whether the event has materially interfered with our ability or the ability of one of our affiliates to unwind our hedge positions. Because this determination by the calculation agent may
affect the return on the Buffered Securities, the calculation agent may have a conflict of interest if it needs to make a determination of this kind. For additional information on the calculation agent’s role, see “General Terms of the Notes
— Role of Calculation Agent” in the product supplement.
|
| ■ |
The valuation date, and therefore the maturity date, are subject to market disruption events and postponements. The valuation date, and therefore the maturity date, are subject to postponement as
described in the product supplement due to the occurrence of one or more market disruption events. For a description of what constitutes a market disruption event as well as the consequences of that market disruption event, see “General Terms
of the Notes—Market Disruption Events” in the product supplement.
|
| ■ |
Trading and business activities by TD or its affiliates may adversely affect the market value of, and return on, the Buffered Securities. We, the agent and/or our other affiliates may hedge our
obligations under the Buffered Securities by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the value of the underlying index or one or more index constituent stocks, and
we may adjust these hedges by, among other things, purchasing or selling at any time any of the foregoing assets. It is possible that we or one or more of our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while
the market value of the Buffered Securities declines. We or one or more of our affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the underlying index
or one or more index constituent stocks.
|
These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders’ interest in the Buffered Securities and the interests we and our affiliates will have in our or their proprietary
accounts, in facilitating transactions, including options and other derivatives transactions, for our or their customers’ accounts and in accounts under our or their management. These trading activities could be adverse to the interests of the
holders of the Buffered Securities.

|
We, the agent and/or our other affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with one or more underlying index Constituent Issuers, including making loans to or providing
advisory services to those companies. These services could include investment banking and merger and acquisition advisory services. These business activities may present a conflict between our, the agent’s and/or our other affiliates’ obligations,
and your interests as a holder of the Buffered Securities. Moreover, we, the agent and/or our other affiliates may have published, and in the future expect to publish, research reports with respect to the underlying index or one or more index
constituent stocks. This research is modified from time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Buffered Securities. Any of these activities by us and/or our
other affiliates may affect the value of the underlying index and, therefore, the market value of, and return on, the Buffered Securities.
Risks Relating to Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Taxation
| ■ |
Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Buffered Securities are uncertain. The U.S. tax treatment of the Buffered Securities is uncertain. Please read carefully the section entitled
“Material U.S. federal income tax consequences” herein and in the product supplement. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your investment in the Buffered Securities.
|
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the Buffered Securities, please see the discussion herein under “Additional Information About the
Buffered Securities — Canadian taxation”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined herein under “Additional Information About the Buffered Securities — Canadian taxation”) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you
acquire the Buffered Securities in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Buffered Securities and receiving the payments that might be due under the Buffered
Securities. We will not pay any additional amounts as a result of any withholding required by reason of the rules governing hybrid mismatch arrangements contained in sections 12.7 and 18.4 of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined herein under “Additional
Information About the Buffered Securities — Canadian taxation”), as such rules may be amended from time to time.

Information About the Underlying Index
All disclosures contained in this document regarding the underlying index are derived from publicly available information. TD has not conducted any independent review or due
diligence of any publicly available information with respect to the underlying index. You should make your own investigation into the underlying index.
Nasdaq-100 Index®
We have derived all information regarding the Nasdaq-100 Index® (“NDX”) contained in this document, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its
components, from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by Nasdaq, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “Nasdaq”) (its “Index Sponsor” or “Nasdaq”).
NDX is published by Nasdaq, but Nasdaq has no obligation to continue to publish NDX, and may discontinue publication of NDX at any time. NDX is determined, comprised and calculated by Nasdaq without
regard to this instrument.
As discussed more fully in the underlier supplement under the heading “Indices – Nasdaq-100 Index®”, NDX includes 100 of the largest domestic and international non-financial securities
listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market® based on market capitalization. NDX includes companies across major industry groups including computer hardware and software, telecommunications, retail and wholesale trade, and biotechnology, but does
not contain securities of financial companies, including investment companies.
NDX is calculated under a modified capitalization-weighted methodology. The methodology is expected to retain in general the economic attributes of capitalization-weighting while providing enhanced
diversification. To accomplish this, Nasdaq will review the composition of NDX on a quarterly basis and adjust the weightings of components using a proprietary algorithm, if certain pre-established weight distribution requirements are not met.
Historical Information
The index closing value of the underlying index on August 31, 2026 was 29,456.97. The graph below sets forth the index closing values of the underlying index for each day from January 1, 2021 through
August 31, 2026. We obtained the information in the graph below from Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”), without independent verification. TD has not undertaken an independent review or due diligence of any publicly available
information obtained from Bloomberg. The historical performance of the underlying index should not be taken as an indication of its future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the index closing value of
the underlying index at any time, including the valuation date.

Additional information regarding the
estimated value of the Buffered
Securities:
|
The final terms for the Buffered Securities will be determined on the date the Buffered Securities are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing
date, based on prevailing market conditions, and will be communicated to investors in the final pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the Buffered Securities are based on our internal funding rate (which is our internal borrowing rate based on variables such as market benchmarks and our
appetite for borrowing), and several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to TDS or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated
intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Buffered Securities, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the Buffered Securities and the estimated cost
which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Buffered Securities. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an
internal funding rate for the Buffered Securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the Buffered Securities.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the Buffered Securities. The estimated value range was determined by reference to
our internal pricing models which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates),
price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the Buffered Securities and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity” herein. Because our
internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities
|
||
|
|
|
Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities Based on the Value of the Nasdaq-100 Index® due September 8, 2028
Principal at Risk Securities
|
|
trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the Buffered Securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the
secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase the estimated value of the Buffered Securities. For more information see the discussion under “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and
Liquidity — The estimated value of your Buffered Securities is based on our internal funding rate”.
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price at which the Buffered Securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which
the agent may buy or sell the Buffered Securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the agent or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Buffered Securities in the secondary market
but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the agent may initially buy or sell the Buffered Securities in the secondary
market, if any, may exceed our estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 6 weeks after the original issue date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a
portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Buffered Securities and other costs in connection with the Buffered Securities which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Buffered Securities. We made such
discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the Buffered Securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Buffered Securities. The
amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the
reimbursement period after the original issue date of the Buffered Securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement for additional information.

Material U.S. federal income tax
consequences:
|
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Buffered Securities are uncertain. There are no statutory provisions,
regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the Buffered Securities. Some of these tax consequences
are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, in the accompanying product supplement and to discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your
tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) regulations,
rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not addressed herein. No
ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Buffered Securities, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the Buffered Securities, TD and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory
change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize your Buffered Securities as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the underlying index. If your Buffered Securities are so treated, you
should generally recognize long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Buffered Securities for more than one year (and, otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss) upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your Buffered
Securities, in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Buffered Securities. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion
that it would be reasonable to treat your Buffered Securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Buffered Securities, it is possible that your Buffered
Securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the Buffered Securities could differ
materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under
|
|
|
|
Dual Directional Buffered Participation Securities Based on the Value of the Nasdaq-100 Index® due September 8, 2028
Principal at Risk Securities
|
|
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, in the accompanying product supplement. There may be also a risk that the IRS could assert that the Buffered
Securities should not give rise to long-term capital gain or loss because the Buffered Securities offer, at least in part, short exposure to the underlying index.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, TD intends to treat your Buffered Securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described
above and under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement, unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
Section 1297. We will not attempt to ascertain whether any index constituent stock issuer would be treated as a “passive foreign
investment company” (a “PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code. If any such entity were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply upon the taxable disposition of a Buffered Security. U.S.
holders should refer to information filed with the SEC or the equivalent governmental authority by such entities and consult their tax advisors regarding the possible consequences to them if any such entity is or becomes a PFIC.
Notice 2008-2. In 2007, the IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the Buffered Securities. According to
Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the Buffered Securities should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will
ultimately issue, if any. It is possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of the Buffered Securities will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. According to the Notice,
the IRS and the Treasury are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether non-U.S. holders of such instruments should be subject to
withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Code should be applied to such instruments. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors
concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above considerations.
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income. U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or certain trusts are subject to an additional 3.8%
tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust, which may include any income or gain realized with respect to the Buffered Securities, to the extent of
their net investment income or undistributed net investment income (as the case may be) that, when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a
joint return (or a surviving spouse), $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return or the dollar amount at which the highest tax bracket begins for an estate or trust. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner
than the regular income tax. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets. Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of an applicable
threshold may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to such assets with their tax returns, especially if such assets are held outside the custody of a U.S. financial institution. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors
as to the application of this legislation to their ownership of the Buffered Securities.
Non-U.S. Holders. Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, and “FATCA”, each as discussed below, if the
Buffered Securities are offered to non-U.S. holders, you should generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments on your Buffered Securities or to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding
requirements with respect to payments on your Buffered Securities if you comply with certain certification and identification requirements as to your non-U.S. status (by providing us (and/or the applicable withholding agent) with a fully
completed and duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8). Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed below, gain realized from the taxable disposition of a Buffered Security generally should not be subject to
U.S. tax unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by you in the U.S., (ii) you are a non-resident alien individual and are present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year of such
taxable disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied or (iii) you have certain other present or former connections with the U.S.
Section 897. We will not attempt to ascertain whether any index constituent stock issuer would be treated as a “United States real
property holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code. We also have not attempted to
|
|
|
|

Principal at Risk Securities
|
|
determine whether the Buffered Securities should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as defined in Section 897 of the Code. If any such entity and/or
the Buffered Securities were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could possibly apply, including subjecting any gain to a non-U.S. holder in respect of a Buffered Security upon a taxable disposition of the
Buffered Securities to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis, and the proceeds from such a taxable disposition to a 15% withholding tax. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential treatment of any index
constituent stock issuer as a USRPHC and/or the Buffered Securities as USRPI.
Section 871(m). A 30% withholding tax (which may be reduced by an applicable income tax treaty) is imposed under Section 871(m) of the
Code on certain “dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that references one or more dividend-paying U.S. equity securities or indices containing U.S. equity
securities. The withholding tax can apply even if the instrument does not provide for payments that reference dividends. Treasury regulations provide that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on
specified equity-linked instruments that have a delta of one (“delta-one specified equity-linked instruments”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all other specified equity-linked instruments issued after
2017. However, the IRS has issued guidance that states that the Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the effective dates of the Treasury regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid will not apply to
specified equity-linked instruments that are not delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and are issued before January 1, 2027.
Based on the nature of the underlying index and our determination that the Buffered Securities are not “delta-one” with respect to the underlying index or any index constituent
stocks, our special U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the Buffered Securities should not be delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and thus should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our determination is not
binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Furthermore, the application of Section 871(m) of the Code will depend on our determinations on the date the terms of the Buffered Securities are set. If withholding is
required, we will not make payments of any additional amounts.
Nevertheless, after the date the terms are set, it is possible that your Buffered Securities could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain
events affecting the underlying index, any index constituent stocks or your Buffered Securities, and following such occurrence your Buffered Securities could be treated as delta-one specified equity-linked instruments that are subject to
withholding on dividend equivalents. It is also possible that withholding tax or other tax under Section 871(m) of the Code could apply to the Buffered Securities under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in
respect of the underlying index, any index constituent stocks or the Buffered Securities. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the underlying index, any index constituent stocks or the Buffered Securities, you
should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to your Buffered Securities in the context of your other transactions.
Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the Buffered Securities, you are urged to consult
your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an investment in the Buffered Securities.
FATCA. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) was enacted on March 18, 2010, and imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on
“withholdable payments” (i.e., certain U.S.-source payments, including interest (and original issue discount), dividends, other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits and income, and the gross proceeds from a disposition of
property of a type which can produce U.S.-source interest or dividends) and “passthru payments” (i.e., certain payments attributable to withholdable payments) made to certain foreign financial institutions (and certain of their affiliates)
unless the payee foreign financial institution agrees (or is required), among other things, to disclose the identity of any U.S. individual with an account at the institution (or the relevant affiliate) and to annually report certain
information about such account. FATCA also requires withholding agents making withholdable payments to certain foreign entities that do not disclose the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of any substantial U.S. owners (or do
not certify that they do not have any substantial U.S. owners) to withhold tax at a rate of 30%. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.
Pursuant to final and temporary Treasury regulations and other IRS guidance, the withholding and reporting requirements under FATCA will generally apply to certain
|
|
|
|

|
|
“withholdable payments”, will not apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition, and will apply to certain foreign passthru payments only to the extent that such payments are
made after the date that is two years after final regulations defining the term “foreign passthru payment” are published. If withholding is required, we (or the applicable paying agent) will not be required to pay additional amounts with
respect to the amounts so withheld. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.
Investors should consult their tax advisors about the application of FATCA, in particular if they may be classified as financial institutions (or if they hold their Buffered
Securities through a foreign entity) under the FATCA rules.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. The proceeds received from a taxable disposition of the Buffered Securities will be
subject to information reporting unless you are an “exempt recipient” and may also be subject to backup withholding at the rate specified in the Code if you fail to provide certain identifying information (such as an accurate taxpayer number,
if you are a U.S. holder) or meet certain other conditions.
Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the
required information is furnished to the IRS.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders. A Buffered Security may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual
non-U.S. holder holds the Buffered Securities at the time of his or her death. The gross estate of a non-U.S. holder domiciled outside the U.S. includes only property situated in the U.S. Individual non-U.S. holders should consult their tax
advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of holding the Buffered Securities at death.
Proposed Legislation. In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of the
Buffered Securities purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the Buffered Securities despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the Buffered Securities.
Furthermore, in 2013, the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments. If it had been enacted, the
effect of this legislation generally would have been to require instruments such as the Buffered Securities to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions.
It is not possible to predict whether any similar or identical bills will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Buffered
Securities. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the possible changes in law and their possible impact on the tax treatment of your Buffered Securities.
Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular
situations, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of the Buffered Securities arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD and those of
the issuers of the index constituent stocks).

Canadian taxation:
|
The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act
(Canada) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Canadian Tax Act”) generally applicable to a holder who is an individual and who acquires beneficial ownership of a Buffered Security upon the initial issuance of the
Buffered Security by TD pursuant to this offering document or common shares of TD or any of its affiliates on a conversion of a Buffered Security on a bail-in conversion (if applicable), and who, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and any
applicable income tax treaty, at all relevant times, is not resident and is not deemed to be resident in Canada, and who, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, at all relevant times, (i) deals at arm’s length with, and is not affiliated with,
TD, any affiliate of TD, and any Canadian resident (or deemed Canadian resident) to whom the holder assigns or otherwise transfers the Buffered Security, (ii) is entitled to receive all payments (including any interest, principal and
dividends, if applicable) made on the Buffered Security as beneficial owner, (iii) is not, and deals at arm’s length with each person who is, a “specified shareholder” (within the meaning of subsection 18(5) of the Canadian Tax Act) of TD and
each affiliate of TD, (iv) is not an entity in respect of which TD or any affiliate of TD is a “specified entity” (as defined in subsection 18.4(1) of the Canadian Tax Act); (v) holds the Buffered Security or common shares of TD or any of its
affiliates as capital property, (vi) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Buffered Security or common shares of TD or any of its affiliates in or in the course of carrying on a
|

|
|
business in Canada or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade and (vii) is not an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere (a
“Non-resident Holder”).
This summary assumes that no amount paid or payable to a Non-resident Holder will be the deduction component of a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” under which the payment arises
within the meaning of paragraph 18.4(3)(b) of the Canadian Tax Act. This summary further assumes that no Buffered Securities or property acquired on settlement of a Buffered Securities will be “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-resident
Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act at the time of its disposition or deemed disposition.
This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act in force as of the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the
Canadian Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and the current administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) published in writing by the
CRA prior to the date hereof. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to an investment in the Buffered Securities and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or
anticipate any changes in law or CRA administrative policies, whether by way of legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or consider any other federal tax considerations or any provincial,
territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ materially from those discussed herein. While this summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, no assurance can be given that this will be the case,
and no assurance can be given that judicial, legislative or administrative changes will not modify or change the statements below.
The following is only a general summary of certain Canadian federal non-resident withholding and other tax provisions which may affect a Non-resident Holder
of the Buffered Securities described in this offering document. This summary is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Non-resident Holder and no representation with respect to
the income tax consequences to any particular Non-resident Holder is made. Persons considering investing in Buffered Securities should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of
Buffered Securities and any common shares of TD or any of its affiliates acquired on a bail-in conversion having regard to their own particular circumstances.
For the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, all amounts not otherwise expressed in Canadian dollars must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the single day exchange rate
as quoted by the Bank of Canada for the applicable day or such other rate of exchange that is acceptable to the Minister of National Revenue (Canada).
The Buffered Securities
Interest (including amounts on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest) paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on a Buffered Security to a
Non-resident Holder will not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax unless all or any part of such interest is “participating debt interest”. “Participating debt interest” is defined in the Canadian Tax Act generally as interest
(other than on a “prescribed obligation” described below) all or any portion of which is contingent or dependent on the use of or production from property in Canada or is computed by reference to revenue, profit, cash flow, commodity price or
any other similar criterion or by reference to dividends paid or payable to shareholders of any class or series of shares of the capital stock of a corporation. A “prescribed obligation” for this purpose is an “indexed debt obligation”, as
defined in the Canadian Tax Act, in respect of which no amount payable is: (a) contingent or dependent upon the use of, or production from, property in Canada, or (b) computed by reference to: (i) revenue, profit, cash flow, commodity price
or any other similar criterion, other than a change in the purchasing power of money, or (ii) dividends paid or payable to shareholders of any class or series of shares of the capital stock of a corporation. An “indexed debt obligation” is a
debt obligation the terms or conditions of which provide for an adjustment to an amount payable in respect of the obligation for a period during which the obligation was outstanding that is determined by reference to a change in the
purchasing power of money.
In the event that a Buffered Security is redeemed, cancelled, purchased or repurchased by TD or any other person resident or deemed to be resident in Canada from a Non-resident
Holder or is otherwise assigned or transferred by a Non-resident Holder to TD or another person resident or deemed to be resident in Canada for an amount which exceeds, generally, the issue price thereof, the excess may, in certain
circumstances be deemed to be interest and may, together with any interest that has
|
|
|
|

|
|
accrued or is deemed to have accrued on the Buffered Security to that time, be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax if all or any part of such interest or deemed
interest is participating debt interest; unless, in certain circumstances, the Buffered Security is not an indexed debt obligation (described above) and was issued for an amount not less than 97% of its principal amount (as defined in the
Canadian Tax Act), and the yield from the Buffered Security, expressed in terms of an annual rate (determined in accordance with the Canadian Tax Act) on the amount for which the Buffered Security was issued, does not exceed 4/3 of the
interest stipulated to be payable on the Buffered Security, expressed in terms of an annual rate on the outstanding principal amount from time to time.
If applicable, the normal rate of Canadian non-resident withholding tax is 25% but such rate may be reduced under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty.
Generally, there are no other Canadian taxes on income (including taxable capital gains) payable by a Non-resident Holder under the Canadian Tax Act solely as a consequence of
the acquisition, ownership or disposition of Buffered Securities by the Non-resident Holder.
Common Shares Acquired on a Bail-in Conversion
Dividends (including amounts on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, dividends) paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a Non-resident Holder on
any common shares of TD or common shares of an affiliate of TD that is a Canadian resident corporation will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax of 25% but such rate may be reduced under the terms of an applicable income tax
treaty.
A Non-resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of any common shares of TD or
common shares of an affiliate of TD unless such shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-resident Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act at the time of their disposition, and such Non-resident Holder is not entitled to
relief pursuant to the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Non-resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.

Supplemental information regarding
plan of distribution (conflicts of
interest); secondary markets (if any):
|

Conflicts of Interest — TDS is an affiliate of TD and, as such, has a ‘‘conflict of interest’’
in this offering within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. If any other affiliate of TD participates in this offering, that affiliate will also have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of
FINRA Rule 5121. In addition, TD will receive the net proceeds from the initial public offering of the Buffered Securities, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the Buffered
Securities will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, neither TDS nor any other affiliate of ours is permitted to sell the Buffered Securities in this offering to an account
over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.
We, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Buffered Securities. In addition, we, TDS, another of our
affiliates or third parties may use this pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the Buffered Securities after their initial sale. If a purchaser buys the Buffered Securities from us, TDS, another of our affiliates or third
parties, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction unless we, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties informs such purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale.

Prohibition of sales in Canada and to
Canadian residents:
|
The Buffered Securities may not be offered, sold or otherwise made available directly or indirectly in Canada or to any resident of Canada.
|
|
|
Prohibition on sales to EEA retail
investors:
|
The Buffered Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in
the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); (ii) a
customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU)
2017/1129, as amended. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the Buffered Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Buffered Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Prohibition on sales to United Kingdom
retail investors:
|
The Buffered Securities are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in
the United Kingdom (“UK”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of
the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the “EUWA”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive
(EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA. Consequently no key information
document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Buffered Securities or otherwise making them available to retail investors in
the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Buffered Securities or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
