Autocallable Fixed Interest Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.,
the common stock of Intel Corporation and the common stock of Tesla, Inc. Due on or about July 14, 2028
|
The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD” or “we”) is offering the Autocallable Fixed Interest Barrier Notes (the “Notes”) linked to the least performing of the common stock of Amazon.com,
Inc., the common stock of Intel Corporation and the common stock of Tesla, Inc. (each, a “Reference Asset” and together, the “Reference Assets”).
The Notes will pay you an Interest Payment of $11.042 on an Interest Payment Date (including the Maturity Date), corresponding to a per annum rate of approximately 13.25% (the
“Interest Rate”), regardless of the performance of the Reference Assets, unless the Notes have previously been subject to an automatic call. The Notes will be automatically called if, on any Call Observation Date, the Closing Value of each
Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value, which is equal to 100.00% of its Initial Value. If the Notes are automatically called, the Call Payment Date will be the first following Interest Payment Date (the “Call Payment
Date”) and, on such date, we will pay you a cash payment per Note equal to the Principal Amount, plus the Interest Payment otherwise due. No further amounts will be owed under the Notes. If the Notes are not automatically called, the amount we pay
at maturity, if anything, in addition to the Interest Payment otherwise due, will depend on the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on its Final Valuation Date (each, its “Final Value”) relative to its Barrier Value, which is equal to 50.00% of
its Initial Value, calculated as follows:
|
• |
If the Final Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value:
|
the Principal Amount of $1,000
|
• |
If the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value:
|
the sum of (1) $1,000 plus (2) the product of (i) $1,000 times (ii) the Least Performing Percentage Change
If the Notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, investors will suffer
a percentage loss on their initial investment that is equal to the percentage decline of the Reference Asset with the lowest Percentage Change from its Initial Value to its Final Value (the “Least Performing Reference Asset”). Specifically,
investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the entire Principal Amount. Any payments on the Notes are subject to
our credit risk.
|
The Notes do not guarantee the return of the Principal Amount. Investors are exposed to the market risk of each Reference Asset and any decline in the value of one Reference Asset will not be offset or
mitigated by a lesser decline or potential increase in the value of any other Reference Asset. Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk.
|
|
The Notes are unsecured and are not savings accounts or insured deposits of a bank. The Notes are not insured or guaranteed by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality of Canada or the United States. The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network.
The Notes have complex features and investing in the Notes involves a number of risks. See “Additional Risk Factors” beginning on page P-6 of this pricing
supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” beginning on page PS-7 of the product supplement MLN-ES-ETF-1 dated February 26, 2025 (the “product supplement”) and “Risk Factors” on page 1 of the prospectus dated February 26, 2025 (the
“prospectus”).
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these Notes or determined that
this pricing supplement, the product supplement or the prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
We will deliver the Notes in book-entry only form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company on the Issue Date against payment in immediately available funds.
The estimated value of your Notes at the time the terms of your Notes are set on the Pricing Date is expected to be between $900.00 and $930.00 per Note, as discussed further
under “Additional Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity” beginning on page P-7 and “Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes” on page P-20 of this pricing supplement. The estimated value is expected
to be less than the public offering price of the Notes.

TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TDS”) will receive a commission of $30.00 (3.00%) per Note and may use all or a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to
other dealers in connection with the distribution of the Notes. Such other dealers may resell the Notes to other securities dealers at the Principal Amount less a concession not in excess of $30.00 per Note. TD will reimburse TDS for
certain expenses in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes, and TD will pay TDS a fee in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes. See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)”
herein.

If the Notes are not automatically called, on the Maturity Date, in addition to the Interest Payment otherwise due, we will pay a cash payment, if anything, per Note equal to:
If the Final Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value:
Principal Amount of $1,000
If the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × Least Performing Percentage Change)
If the Notes are not automatically called and the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, investors will suffer a percentage loss on their
initial investment that, is equal to the Least Performing Percentage Change. Specifically, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its
Initial Value, and may lose the entire Principal Amount. Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk.
All amounts used in or resulting from any calculation relating to the Payment at Maturity will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest cent.
|
Percentage Change:
|
For each Reference Asset, the Percentage Change is the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of the following formula:
Final Value – Initial Value

|
U.S. Tax Treatment:
|
By purchasing the Notes, you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the Notes, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, as consisting of two components for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (1) a non-contingent debt instrument (the “Debt Component”); and (2) a put option contract in respect of the Reference Assets (the “Put
Option Component”), allocated as specified herein under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”. 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 the Notes in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Notes, it is possible that your Notes 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 Notes could differ materially and adversely
from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product supplement.
|
Canadian Tax Treatment:
|
Please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences — Canadian Taxation” and in the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences”, which
applies to the Notes. 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 section 18.4 of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined in the
prospectus).
|
Record Date:
|
The Business Day preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date.
|
Calculation Agent:
|
TD
|
Listing:
|
The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network.
|
Canadian Bail-in:
|
The Notes are not bail-inable debt securities (as defined in the prospectus) under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act.
|
Change in Law Event:
|
Not applicable, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the product supplement.
|
The Pricing Date, the Issue Date, and all other dates listed above are subject to change. These dates will be set forth in the final pricing supplement that will be made available
in connection with sales of the Notes.
Additional Terms of Your Notes
You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus, as supplemented by the product supplement MLN-ES-ETF-1 (the “product supplement”), relating to our Senior Debt Securities,
Series H, of which these Notes are a part. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement will have the meanings given to them in the product supplement. In the event of any conflict the following hierarchy will govern: first,
this pricing supplement; second, the product supplement; and last, the prospectus. The Notes vary from the terms described in the product supplement in several important ways. You should read
this pricing supplement carefully.
This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the Notes and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written
materials including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the
matters set forth in “Additional Risk Factors” herein, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the product supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We
urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors concerning an investment in the Notes. You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if that address has changed, by reviewing our
filings for the relevant date on the SEC website):

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 0000947263. As used in this pricing supplement, the “Bank,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries.
We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the Notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to
accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
Additional Risk Factors
The Notes involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the terms of the Notes. For additional
information as to these and other risks, please see “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the product supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus.
Investors should consult their investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and the suitability of the Notes in light of their
particular circumstances.
Risks Relating to Return Characteristics
Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss.
The Notes do not guarantee the return of the Principal Amount and investors may lose up to their entire investment in the Notes. Specifically, if the Notes are not automatically called and the Final
Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the
entire Principal Amount.
The Potential Positive Return on the Notes Is Limited to the Interest Payments Paid on the Notes, Regardless of Any Appreciation of Any Reference Asset.
The potential positive return on the Notes is limited to the Interest Payments paid, meaning any positive return on the Notes will be composed solely of the sum of the Interest Payments paid over the
term of the Notes. Further, if the Notes are automatically called prior to maturity, you will not receive any Interest Payments or other payment in respect of any Interest Payment Date after the Call Payment Date, and your return on the Notes could
be less than if the Notes remained outstanding until maturity. If the appreciation of any Reference Asset exceeds the sum of the Interest Payments actually paid on the Notes, the return on the Notes will be less than that of a direct investment in
such Reference Asset or of a security directly linked to the positive performance of such Reference Asset.
Your Return May Be Less Than the Return on a Conventional Debt Security of Comparable Maturity.
The return that you will receive on your Notes, which could be negative, may be less than the return you could earn on other investments. Even if the Notes are not subject to an
automatic call and your return on the Notes is positive, your return may be less than that of a conventional, interest-bearing senior debt security of TD of comparable maturity. Your investment may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when
you take into account factors that affect the time value of money.
The Notes May Be Automatically Called Prior to the Maturity Date and Are Subject to
Reinvestment Risk.
If your Notes are automatically called, no further payments will be owed to you under the Notes after the applicable Call Payment Date. Therefore, because the Notes could be called as early as the
first potential Call Payment Date, the holding period could be limited. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the Notes
are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date. Furthermore, to the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment with a comparable return for a similar level of risk, you may incur transaction costs such as dealer discounts
and hedging costs built into the price of the new notes.
The Interest Rate Will Reflect, in Part, the Volatility of Each Reference Asset and May Not Be Sufficient to Compensate You for the Risk of Loss at Maturity.
Generally, the higher a Reference Asset’s volatility, the more likely it is that the Closing Value of that Reference Asset could be less than its Call Threshold Value on a Call
Observation Date or its Barrier Value on its Final Valuation Date. Volatility means the magnitude and frequency of changes in the value of a Reference Asset. This greater risk will generally be reflected in a higher Interest Rate for the Notes than
the interest rate payable on our conventional debt securities with a comparable term. However, while the Interest Rate is set on the Pricing Date, a Reference Asset’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the Notes, and may increase.
The value of any Reference Asset could fall sharply on the Final Valuation Date, resulting in a loss of a significant portion or all of the Principal Amount.
You Will Have No Rights to Receive Any Shares of Any Reference Asset and You Will Not Be Entitled to Any Dividends or Other Distributions on Any Reference Asset.
The Notes are our debt securities. They are not equity instruments, shares of stock, or securities of any other issuer. Investing in the Notes will not make you a holder of shares of any Reference
Asset. You will not have any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, or any rights against the issuer of any Reference Asset (its “Reference Asset Issuer”). As a result, the return on your Notes may not reflect the
return you would realize if you actually owned shares of any Reference Asset and received any dividends paid or other distributions made in connection with them. Your Notes will be paid in cash and you have no right to receive delivery of shares of
any Reference Asset.
Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Reference Assets
There Are Single Stock Risks Associated with each Reference Asset.
The value of each Reference Asset can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to such Reference Asset and Reference Asset Issuer, such as stock 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 and commodity market volatility and levels, interest rates and
economic and political conditions. You, as an investor in the Notes, should make your own investigation into the Reference Assets and Reference Asset Issuers for your Notes. For additional information, see “Information Regarding the Reference
Assets” in this pricing supplement and each Reference Asset Issuer’s SEC filings. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the Reference Asset Issuers with the SEC.
Investors Are Exposed to the Market Risk of Each Reference Asset.
Your return on the Notes is not linked to a basket consisting of the Reference Assets. Rather, it will be contingent upon the performance of each Reference Asset. Unlike an instrument with a return
linked to a basket of indices, common stocks or other underlying securities, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all of the components of the basket, you will be exposed equally to the risks related to each Reference Asset on the Final
Valuation Date. Poor performance by any Reference Asset over the term of the Notes will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a positive performance by any other Reference Asset. For instance, if the Final Value of
any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value on its Final Valuation Date, you will receive a negative return equal to the Least Performing Percentage Change, even if the Percentage Change of another Reference Asset is positive or has not
declined as much. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each Reference Asset.
Because the Notes Are Linked to the Least Performing Reference Asset, You Are Exposed to a Greater Risk of Losing a Significant Portion or All of Your Initial Investment at
Maturity Than if the Notes Were Linked to a Single Reference Asset or Fewer Reference Assets.
The risk that (i) the Final Value of any Reference Asset will be less than its Barrier Value and (ii) that you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment in the Notes is
greater if you invest in the Notes than the risk of investing in substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of only one Reference Asset or fewer Reference Assets. With more Reference Assets, it is more likely that the Final
Value of any Reference Asset will be less than its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date than if the Notes were linked to a single Reference Asset or fewer Reference Assets.
In addition, the lower the correlation is between the performance of a pair of Reference Assets, the more likely it is that one of the Reference Assets will decline in value to a Final Value that is
less than its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date. Although the correlation of the Reference Assets’ performance may change over the term of the Notes, the economic terms of the Notes, including the Barrier Value and Interest Rate are
determined, in part, based on the correlation of the Reference Assets’ performance calculated using our internal models at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. All things being equal, a higher Interest Rate and lower Barrier Values
are generally associated with lower correlation of the Reference Assets. Therefore, if the performance of a pair of Reference Assets is not correlated to each other or is negatively correlated, the risk that the Final Value of any Reference Asset
is less than its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date is even greater despite a lower Barrier Value. Therefore, it is more likely that the Final Value of a Reference Asset will be less than its Barrier Value and that you will lose a
significant portion or all of your initial investment at maturity.
We Do Not Control Any Reference Asset Issuer and Are Not Responsible for Any of Their Disclosures.
Neither we nor any of our affiliates have the ability to control the actions of any Reference Asset Issuer and have not conducted any independent review or due diligence of any information related to
any Reference Asset or Reference Asset Issuer. We are not responsible for any Reference Asset Issuer’s public disclosure of information on itself or the applicable Reference Asset, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise. You should make your
own investigation into each of the Reference Asset Issuers.
The Notes Are Subject to Sector Concentration Risk.
The Notes are subject to sector concentration risk because each Reference Asset Issuer operates in the same sector, as described below under “Information Regarding the Reference Assets”. The
performance of these companies is subject to a number of complex and unpredictable factors such as government regulation, supply and demand for the products and services produced or offered by such companies and industry competition. Any negative
developments may have a negative effect on the Reference Asset Issuers and, in turn, may have a material adverse effect on the market value of, and return on, the Notes. By investing in the Notes, you will not benefit from the diversification which
could result from an investment linked to the performance of companies that operate in multiple sectors.
Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Expected to Be Less Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes.
The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is expected to be less than the public offering price of your Notes. The difference between the public offering price of your Notes and the
estimated value of the Notes reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the Notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the Notes. 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 Notes Is Based on Our Internal Funding Rate.
The estimated value of your Notes 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 Notes
generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view
of the funding value of the Notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Notes 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 Notes to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes is expected to increase
the estimated value of the Notes at any time.
The Estimated Value of the Notes 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 Notes on the Pricing Date is based on our internal pricing models when the terms of the Notes 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 Notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Notes in the secondary market. As a result, the
secondary market price of your Notes may be materially less than the estimated value of the Notes 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 Notes Is Not a Prediction of the Prices at Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, if Any, and Such Secondary Market Prices, if Any, Will
Likely Be Less Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes and May Be Less Than the Estimated Value of Your Notes.
The estimated value of the Notes is not a prediction of the prices at which the Agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your Notes 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 Notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the Notes, secondary market prices of your
Notes will likely be less than the public offering price of your Notes. As a result, the price at which the Agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any,
will likely be less than the price you paid for your Notes, 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 Notes in the Secondary Market May Not Be Indicative of Future Prices of Your Notes.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Pricing Date, the price at which the Agent may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market (if the Agent makes a market in the
Notes, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of the Notes on the Pricing Date, as well as the secondary market value of the Notes, for a temporary period after the Issue Date of the Notes, as discussed further under
“Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes”. The price at which the Agent may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes.
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 Notes 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 Notes. 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 Notes — Sales in the Secondary Market May Result in Significant Losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes. The Notes 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 Notes; 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 Notes 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 Notes in any secondary market could be substantial.
If you sell your Notes before the Maturity Date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the public offering price irrespective of the value of the then-current least performing
Reference Asset, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
If the Value of Any Reference Asset Changes, the Market Value of Your Notes May Not Change in the Same Manner.
Your Notes may trade quite differently from the performance of any of the Reference Assets. Changes in the value of any Reference Asset may not result in a comparable change in the market value of
your Notes. Even if the Closing Value of each Reference Asset remains greater than or equal to its Barrier Value or increases to greater than its Call Threshold Value during the term of the Notes, the market value of your Notes may not increase by
the same amount and could decline.
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 amounts payable on the Notes. We will serve as the Calculation Agent and may appoint a different Calculation Agent after the 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 a Reference Asset 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 amounts payable on the Notes, 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.
You Will Have Limited Anti-Dilution Protection and, in Certain Situations, Your Return on the Notes May be Based on a Substitute Reference Asset.
The Calculation Agent may adjust the Initial Value, and therefore the Call Threshold Value and Barrier Value of a Reference Asset for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends,
extraordinary dividends and other events that affect such Reference Asset, but only in the situations we describe in “General Terms of the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the product supplement. The Calculation Agent will not be required to
make an adjustment for every event that may affect a Reference Asset. Furthermore, in certain situations, such as when a Reference Asset undergoes a Reorganization Event or a Reference Asset is delisted, such Reference Asset may be replaced by
distribution property or a substitute equity security, as discussed more fully in the product supplement under “General Terms of the Notes”. Notwithstanding the Calculation Agent’s ability to make adjustments to the terms of the Notes and the
Reference Assets, those events or other actions affecting a Reference Asset, Reference Asset Issuer or a third party may nevertheless adversely affect the price of the applicable Reference Asset and, therefore, adversely affect the market value of,
and return on, your Notes.
Each Call Observation Date, the Final Valuation Date and the Corresponding Interest Payment Dates Are Subject to Market Disruption Events and Postponements.
Each Call Observation Date, the Final Valuation Date and each Interest Payment Date (including the Maturity Date), is subject to postponement 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. A market disruption event for
a particular Reference Asset will not constitute a market disruption event for any other Reference Asset.
Trading and Business Activities by TD or Its Affiliates May Adversely Affect the Market Value of, and Return on, the Notes.
We, the Agent and/or our other affiliates may hedge our obligations under the Notes by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked
or related to changes in the price of a Reference Asset, 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 Notes 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 a Reference Asset.
These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders’ interest in the Notes 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
Notes.
We, the Agent and/or our other affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with one or more Reference Asset 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 Notes. Moreover, we, the Agent and/or our other affiliates may have published, and in the future expect to publish, research reports with respect to a Reference Asset. 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 Notes. Any of these activities by us and/or our other affiliates may affect the value of a Reference Asset and, therefore,
the market value of, and return on, the Notes.
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 Notes.
Although the return on the Notes will be based on the performance of the Least Performing Reference Asset, any payments on the Notes is subject to TD’s credit risk. The Notes are TD’s senior
unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes 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 Notes. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due,
investors may not receive the amounts due under the terms of the Notes.
Risks Relating to Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Taxation
Significant Aspects of the Tax Treatment of the Notes Are Uncertain.
The U.S. tax treatment of the Notes 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 Notes.
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the Notes, please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences — Canadian Taxation” and in the product
supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences” and the further discussion herein under “Summary”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or
if you acquire the Notes in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Notes and receiving the payments that might be due under the Notes.
Hypothetical Returns
The examples set out below are included for illustration purposes only and are hypothetical examples only; amounts below may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The hypothetical Initial
Values, Closing Values, Final Values and Percentage Changes of the Reference Assets used to illustrate the Payment at Maturity or upon an automatic call are not estimates or forecasts of the actual Initial Value, Closing Value or Final Value of any
Reference Asset or the value of any Reference Asset on any Trading Day prior to the Maturity Date. All examples assume, for Reference Asset A, Reference Asset B and Reference Asset C respectively, Initial Values of $220.00, $20.00 and $300.00, Call
Threshold Values of $220.00, $20.00 and $300.00 (each 100.00% of its Initial Value), Barrier Values of $110.00, $10.00 and $150.00 (each 50.00% of its Initial Value), an Interest Payment of $11.042 per Note (reflecting the Interest Rate of
approximately 13.25% per annum), that a holder purchased Notes with a Principal Amount of $1,000 and that no market disruption event occurs on any Call Observation Date or on the Final Valuation Date. The actual terms of the Notes will be set forth
in the final pricing supplement.

+ $55.21 (Interest Payments Previously Paid)
|
|
|
Total Payment:
|
|
$1,066.252 (6.6252% Total Return)
|
Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value on the first Call Observation Date (which is approximately 6 months after the Pricing Date), the
Notes will be automatically called and, on the corresponding Call Payment Date, we will pay you a cash payment equal to $1,011.042 per Note, reflecting the Principal Amount plus the Interest Payment. When added to the Interest Payments of $55.21
received in respect of the prior Interest Payment Dates, TD will have paid you a total of $1,066.252, for a total return of 6.6252% on the Notes. No further amounts will be owed under the Notes.

$1,088.336 (8.8336% Total Return)
|
Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value on the third Call Observation Date (which is approximately 8 months after the Pricing Date), the
Notes will be automatically called and, on the corresponding Call Payment Date, we will pay you a cash payment equal to $1,011.042 per Note, reflecting the Principal Amount plus the Interest Payment. When added to the Interest Payments of $77.294 paid in respect of the prior Interest Payment Dates, TD will have paid you a total of $1,088.336, for a total return of 8.8336% on the Notes. No further amounts will be owed under the Notes.

Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on each Call Observation Date is less than its Call Threshold Value, we will pay the Interest Payment on each Interest Payment Date and the Notes
will not be subject to an automatic call. Because the Final Value of each Reference Asset is greater than its Barrier Value, on the Maturity Date we will pay you a cash payment equal to $1,011.042 per Note,
reflecting the Principal Amount plus the Interest Payment. When added to the Interest Payments of $386.47 paid in respect of the prior Interest Payment Dates, TD will have paid you a total of $1,397.512
per Note, for a total return of 39.7512% on the Notes.

Total Payment:

$797.512 (20.2488% Loss)
|
Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on each Call Observation Date prior to the Final Valuation Date is less than its Call Threshold Value, we will pay the Interest Payment on each Interest Payment Date
and the Notes will not be subject to an automatic call. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, on the Maturity Date we will pay you a cash payment equal to the Principal Amount plus the
product of the Principal Amount and the Least Performing Percentage Change in addition to the Interest Payment of $11.042 paid in respect of the final Interest Payment Date. When added to the Interest Payments of
$386.47 paid in respect of the prior Interest Payment Dates, we will have paid you a total of $797.512 per Note, a loss of 20.2488% on the Notes.
Information Regarding the Reference Assets
Each Reference Asset is registered under the Exchange Act. Companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act are required to file periodically certain financial and other information
specified by the SEC. Information provided to or filed with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC or through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, information regarding each Reference
Asset may be obtained from other sources including, but not limited to, press releases, newspaper articles and other publicly disseminated documents. We have not undertaken an independent review or due diligence of any publicly available
information with respect to any Reference Asset.
The graphs below set forth the information relating to the historical performance of each Reference Asset. The graphs below show the daily historical Closing Values of each Reference Asset for the
periods specified. We obtained the information regarding the historical performance of each Reference Asset in the graphs below from Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”). The Closing Values may be adjusted by Bloomberg for
corporate actions such as stock splits, public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, delistings and bankruptcy. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg.
The historical performance of each Reference Asset should not be taken as an indication of its future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Final Value of any Reference Asset. We cannot give you any
assurance that the performance of the Reference Assets will result in a positive return on your initial investment.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are uncertain. No statutory, regulatory, judicial or administrative authority directly
discusses the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the Notes. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion
under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the 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. This discussion, other than the section entitled “Non-U.S. Holders” below, applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder, as defined in the product supplement. 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 Notes, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, 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 each Note as consisting of two components for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (1) a non-contingent debt instrument (the “Debt Component”); and (2) a put option
contract in respect of the Reference Assets (the “Put Option Component”). In accordance with this treatment, you agree to treat each Interest Payment as consisting of (1) interest on the Debt Component and (2) put option premium on the Put Option
Component as follows:
Interest Rate
|
Interest on Debt Component
|
Put Option Component
|
13.25% per annum
|
[•]%
|
[•]%
|
We intend to treat the Debt Component as having a term of greater than one year, so that interest payments in respect of the Debt Component would be includable in income by you in
accordance with your regular method of accounting for interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Put option premium payments in respect of the Put Option Component would generally not be taxed until a sale, automatic call or maturity of the Notes. At maturity, such payments would be taxed as
a short-term capital gain.
If the Notes are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date or if you receive on the Maturity Date an amount in cash equal to the Principal Amount (other than any cash Interest Payment in
respect of the Debt Component, which would be includable in income by you in the manner described above), you generally should not recognize gain or loss with respect to the Debt Component, and you generally should recognize the total put option
premium received as short-term capital gain on the applicable Call Payment Date or the Maturity Date, as applicable.
Upon the taxable disposition of the Notes for cash (including cash settlement for an amount that is less than the principal amount, other than any
cash interest payment in respect of the debt component, which would be includible in income by you in the manner described above), you should allocate the cash received between the Debt Component and the Put Option Component on the basis of their
respective values on the date of such taxable disposition. You should generally recognize gain or loss with respect to the Debt Component in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of the proceeds allocable to the Debt Component
(less accrued and unpaid interest, which will be taxable as such) and your adjusted tax basis in the Debt Component (which generally will equal your purchase price for the Note). This gain or loss should be capital gain or loss and should be
long-term capital gain or loss if you are treated as having held the Debt Component for more than one year at the time of such taxable disposition. If the Put Option Component has a positive value on the date of such taxable disposition, you
should generally recognize short-term capital gain equal to the portion of the proceeds allocable to the Put Option Component plus any previously received put option premium. If the Put Option Component has a negative value on the date of such
taxable disposition, you should generally be treated as having paid the buyer an amount equal to the negative value in order to assume your rights and obligations under the Put Option Component. In that case, you should recognize a short-term
capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the total put option premium previously received and the amount of the payment deemed made by you with respect to the buyer’s assumption of the Put Option Component. The amount of
the deemed payment will be added to the price allocated to the Debt Component in determining the gain or loss in respect of the Debt Component. The deductibility of capital losses by U.S. holders 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 Notes in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Notes, it is possible that your Notes 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 Notes could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further
under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Alternative Treatments” in the product supplement.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, TD intends to treat your Notes 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 product supplement, unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
Notice 2008-2. In 2007, the IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the Notes. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury are considering
the appropriate tax treatment of holders of certain types of structured notes. Legislation has also
been proposed in Congress that would require the holders of certain prepaid forward contracts to accrue income during the term of the transaction. Additionally, in 2013, the House Ways and Means
Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments that, if it had been enacted, would have required instruments such as the Put Option Component of the Notes 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 clear whether the Notice applies to instruments such as the Notes. Furthermore, it is not possible to determine what guidance or legislation will
ultimately result, if any, and whether such guidance or legislation will affect the tax treatment of the Notes.
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 Notes, 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 income tax. U.S. holders should
consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets. U.S. holders may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to their Notes if they do not hold their Notes in an
account maintained by a financial institution and the aggregate value of their Notes and certain other “specified foreign financial assets” (applying certain attribution rules) exceeds an applicable threshold. Significant penalties can apply if a
U.S. holder is required to disclose its Notes and fails to do so.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. The proceeds received from a taxable disposition of the Notes 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.
Non-U.S. Holders. If you are a non-U.S. holder, subject to Section 871(m) of the Code and FATCA, as discussed below, you should generally not be subject to
U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments on your Notes or to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on your Notes if you comply with certain certification and identification
requirements as to your non-U.S. status including providing us (and/or the applicable withholding agent) a properly executed and fully completed 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 the Notes generally will 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 Reference Asset 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 determine whether the Notes should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as defined in Section 897 of the Code. If any Reference Asset
Issuer and the Notes 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 Note upon a taxable disposition of the Note to the 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 Reference Asset Issuer as a USRPHC and the Notes 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 our determination that the Notes are not “delta-one” with respect to the Reference Assets, our special U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Reference Assets or your Notes, and
following such occurrence your Notes 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 Notes under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into certain other transactions in respect of the Reference Assets or the Notes. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the Reference Assets or
the Notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to your Notes in the context of your other transactions.
Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the Notes, 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 Notes.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders. A Note may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual non-U.S. holder holds the Note 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 Notes at death.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. 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 income, and the
gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a type that 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 Notes through a foreign entity)
under the FATCA rules.
As discussed above, alternative characterizations of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes are possible. Should an alternative characterization of the Notes cause payments with respect to
the Notes to become subject to withholding tax, we (and/or the applicable withholding agent) will withhold tax at the applicable statutory rate and we will not make payments of any additional amounts.
Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes (including possible alternative treatments), as
well as any tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of the Notes arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD).
Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)
We have appointed TDS, an affiliate of TD, as the Agent for the sale of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, TDS will purchase the Notes from TD at the public offering price
less the underwriting discount specified on the cover page hereof and may use all or a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other registered broker-dealers in connection with the distribution of the Notes. The underwriting
discount represents the selling concessions for other dealers in connection with the distribution of the Notes. The Notes will generally be offered to the public at the public offering price, provided that certain fee based advisory accounts may
purchase the Notes for as low as the price specified on the cover hereof and such registered broker-dealers may forgo, in their sole discretion, some or all of their selling concessions in connection with such sales. We or one of our affiliates may
also pay a fee to iCapital Markets LLC, who is acting as a dealer in connection with the distribution of the Notes. TD will reimburse TDS for certain expenses in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes, and TD will pay TDS a fee
in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes.
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 Notes, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes. In addition, we, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties may use this
pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. If a purchaser buys the Notes 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 on Sales to EEA Retail Investors
The Notes 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 “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the
Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.
Prohibition on Sales to United Kingdom Retail Investors
The Notes 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 Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes
The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes 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 Notes 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 Notes, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes and the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes. 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 Notes 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 Notes.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the Notes. 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 Notes, and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Additional 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 trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes 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 Notes. For more information see the discussion under “Additional Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity — The Estimated Value of
Your Notes Is Based on Our Internal Funding Rate”.
Our estimated value on the Pricing Date is not a prediction of the price at which the Notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agent may buy or sell the Notes in
the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agent or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Notes 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 Notes in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated
value on the Pricing Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 3 months after the 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 Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of
factors, including the tenor of the Notes and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. 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 Issue Date of the Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Additional Risk Factors” herein.
