TD (TD) issues Trigger GEARS linked to Swiss Market Index with leveraged upside
The Toronto-Dominion Bank is offering Trigger GEARS senior unsecured notes linked to the Swiss Market Index (SMI) with an expected term of approximately five years. Payment at maturity depends on the underlying return and an upside gearing set on the trade date; a downside threshold equal to 60.00% of the initial level protects principal only if the final level is at or above that threshold. Payments and any principal repayment are subject to TD's creditworthiness. The minimum initial investment is 100 Securities at $10 per Security.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Risk‑return profile ties exposure to SMI with capped/levered upside and full downside exposure below 60% of initial level.
The notes multiply positive SMI returns by an upside gearing (determined on the trade date, disclosed as 2.20 to 2.45) but deliver pro rata losses if the final level is below the downside threshold equal to 60.00% of the initial level. This creates asymmetric payoffs: leveraged upside, direct downside to principal.
Key dependencies include the final terms set on the trade date, TD's credit risk and the calculation agent's discretion for market‑disruption or index‑change events.
Tax treatment is uncertain and complex for U.S. and non‑U.S. holders; professional advice is essential.
The issuer describes varied U.S. tax characterizations (prepaid derivative contract vs. contingent debt) and highlights potential Section 871(m), FATCA, Medicare tax and Canadian withholding issues. Treatment may change if authorities publish new guidance.
Investors should review the included Canadian and U.S. tax summaries and consult advisors for personal tax consequences.

Investment Description
|
|
Features
|
| ❑ |
Enhanced Exposure to Positive Underlying Return — At maturity, the Securities provide exposure to any positive underlying return multiplied by the
upside gearing.
|
| ❑ |
Contingent Repayment of Principal Amount at Maturity with Potential for Full Downside Market Exposure — If the underlying return is zero or
negative and the final level is equal to or greater than the downside threshold, at maturity TD will pay you a cash payment per Security equal to the principal amount. If, however, the underlying return is negative and the final level
is less than the downside threshold, at maturity TD will pay you a cash payment per Security that is less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss on your initial investment equal to the underlying return
and, in extreme situations, you could lose all of your initial investment. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Securities to maturity. Any payment on the Securities, including any repayment of principal,
is subject to the creditworthiness of TD.

We expect to deliver the Securities against payment on the second business day following the trade date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day (T+1), unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Securities in the
secondary market on any date prior to one business day before delivery of the Securities will be required, by virtue of the fact that each Security initially will settle in two business days (T+2), to specify alternative settlement
arrangements to prevent a failed settlement of the secondary market trade.

Maturity Date
|
The final level is observed on the final valuation date and the underlying return is calculated.
If the underlying return is positive, TD will pay you a cash payment per Security equal to:
$10 × (1 + Underlying Return × Upside Gearing)
If the underlying return is zero or negative and the final level is equal to or greater than the
downside threshold, TD will pay you a cash payment per Security equal to:
$10
If the underlying return is negative and the final level is less than the downside threshold, TD
will pay you a cash payment per Security that is less than the principal amount, if anything, equal to:
$10 × (1 + Underlying Return)
In this scenario, you will suffer a percentage loss on your initial investment
equal to the underlying return and, in extreme situations, you could lose all of your initial investment.
|
|
Key Risks
|
| ♦ |
Risk of loss at maturity — The Securities differ from ordinary debt securities in that TD will not necessarily repay the principal amount of the Securities at maturity. If
the underlying return is negative and the final level is less than the downside threshold, you will lose a percentage of your principal amount equal to the underlying return and, in extreme situations, you could lose all of your initial
investment.
|
| ♦ |
The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold your Securities to maturity — You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to
sell your Securities prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the level of the underlying asset at such time is equal to or greater than the downside
threshold.
|
| ♦ |
The upside gearing applies only at maturity — You should be willing to hold your Securities to maturity. If you are able to sell your Securities prior to maturity in the
secondary market, the price you receive will likely not reflect the full economic value of the upside gearing, and the percentage return you realize may be less than the then-current underlying return multiplied by the upside gearing, even
if such return is positive. You can receive the full benefit of the upside gearing only if you hold your Securities to maturity.
|
| ♦ |
No interest payments — TD will not pay any interest with respect to the Securities.
|
| ♦ |
Greater expected volatility generally indicates an increased risk of loss at maturity — “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the level of the
underlying asset. The greater the expected volatility of the underlying asset as of the time the terms of the Securities are determined, the greater the expectation is as of that date that the final level could be less than the downside
threshold and, as a consequence, indicates an increased risk of loss. All things being equal, this greater expected volatility will generally be reflected in a higher upside gearing and/or lower downside threshold than those terms on
otherwise comparable securities. Therefore, a relatively higher upside gearing and/or lower downside threshold may indicate an increased risk of loss. However, the underlying asset’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the
Securities, and a relatively lower downside threshold may not necessarily indicate that the Securities have a greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of the
underlying asset and the potential to lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment.
|
| ♦ |
Owning the Securities is not the same as owning the underlying constituents — The return on your Securities may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually
owned the underlying constituents. For instance, as an owner of the Securities, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions on the underlying constituents during the term of the Securities,
and any such dividends or distributions will not be factored into the calculation of the payment at maturity on your Securities. Similarly, you will not have voting rights or any other rights of a holder of the underlying constituents.
|
| ♦ |
Market risk — The return on the Securities, which may be negative, is directly linked to the performance of the underlying asset and indirectly linked to the performance of
the underlying constituents and their issuers (the “underlying constituent issuers”). The level of the underlying asset can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the underlying asset, its underlying constituents, such as stock or
commodity price volatility, earnings and 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, political and other conditions. You, as an investor in the Securities, should conduct your own investigation into the underlying asset and underlying constituents.
|
| ♦ |
There can be no assurance that the investment view implicit in the Securities will be successful — It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the level of
the underlying asset will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that the final level will be greater than the initial level. The level of the underlying asset will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial
and other factors that affect the underlying asset and its underlying constituents. You should be willing to accept the downside risks of owning equities in general and the underlying constituents in particular, and the risk of losing a
significant portion or all of your initial investment.
|
| ♦ |
Changes affecting the underlying asset could have an adverse effect on the market value of, and return on, your Securities — The policies of the sponsor of the underlying
asset as specified herein under “Information About the Underlying Asset” (the “index sponsor”), concerning additions, deletions and substitutions of the underlying constituents, such as stock dividends, reorganizations or mergers, and the
manner in which such index sponsor takes account of certain changes affecting those underlying constituents may adversely affect the level of the underlying asset. The policies of the index sponsor with respect to the calculation of the
underlying asset could also adversely affect the level of the underlying asset. The index sponsor may discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the underlying asset. If these or other events occur, the market value of, and
return on, the Securities may be adversely affected.
|
| ♦ |
None of TD or the agents can control actions by the index sponsor and the index sponsor has no obligation to consider your interests — None of TD, the agents or our or their
respective affiliates are affiliated with the index sponsor or have any ability to control or predict their actions, including any errors in or discontinuation of public disclosure regarding methods or policies relating to the calculation
of the underlying asset. The index sponsor is not involved in the Securities offering in any way and has no obligation to consider your interest as an owner of the Securities in taking any actions that might affect the market value of, and
return on, your Securities.
|
| ♦ |
The underlying asset reflects price return, not total return — The return on your Securities is based on the performance of the underlying asset, which reflects the changes
in the market prices of the underlying constituents. Your Securities are 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
underlying constituents. Accordingly, the return on your Securities will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.
|
| ♦ |
The underlying asset will not be adjusted for changes in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar even though its underlying constituents are traded in a non-U.S.
currency and the Securities are denominated in U.S. dollars — The value of the Securities will not be adjusted for currency exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies in which the underlying constituents
of the underlying asset are based. Therefore, if the applicable currencies appreciate or depreciate relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Securities, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in your
return on the Securities.
|
| ♦ |
The Securities are subject to risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets — The Securities are subject to risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets because
the underlying asset is comprised of stocks that are traded in one or more non-U.S. securities markets. Investments linked to the value of non-U.S. equity securities involve particular risks. Any non-U.S. securities market may be less
liquid, more volatile and affected by global or domestic market developments in a different way than are the U.S. securities market or other non-U.S. securities markets. Both government intervention in a non-U.S. securities market, either
directly or indirectly, and cross-shareholdings in non-U.S. companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in that market. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies than about U.S. companies
that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC. Further, non-U.S. companies are likely subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting
companies. The prices of securities in a non-U.S. country are subject to political, economic, financial and social factors that are unique to such non-U.S. country’s geographical region. These factors include: recent changes, or the
possibility of future changes, in the applicable non-U.S. government’s economic and fiscal policies; the possible implementation of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to non-U.S. companies or
investments in non-U.S. equity securities; fluctuations, or the possibility of fluctuations, in currency exchange rates; and the possibility of outbreaks of hostility, political instability, natural disaster or adverse public health
developments. Any one of these factors, or the combination of more than one of these or other factors, could negatively affect such non-U.S. securities market and the prices of securities therein. Further, geographical regions may react to
global factors in different ways, which may cause the prices of securities in a non-U.S. securities market to fluctuate in a way that differs from those of securities in the U.S. securities market or other non-U.S. securities markets.
Non-U.S. economies may also differ from the U.S. economy in important respects, including growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency, which may have a positive or negative
effect on non-U.S. securities prices.
|
| ♦ |
The estimated value of your Securities is expected to be less than the issue price of your Securities — The estimated value of your Securities on the trade date is expected
to be less than the issue price of your Securities. The difference between the issue price of your Securities and the estimated value of the Securities reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the
Securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the 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 Securities is based on our internal funding rate — The estimated value of your Securities on the trade date is determined by reference to our
internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Securities 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 Securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management
costs of the 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 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 Securities is expected to increase the estimated value of the Securities at any time.
|
| ♦ |
The estimated value of the 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 Securities on the trade date is based on our internal pricing models when the terms of the Securities are set, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal funding
rate on the trade 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 Securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Securities in the secondary market.
As a result, the secondary market price of your Securities may be materially less than the estimated value of the 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 Securities is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your Securities in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if
any, will likely be less than the issue price of your Securities and may be less than the estimated value of your Securities — The estimated value of the Securities is not a prediction of the prices at which TDS, other affiliates
of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the 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 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 Securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your 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 Securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the Securities, secondary market prices of your Securities will likely be less than the issue price of your Securities. As a result, the price
at which TDS, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your Securities, and any sale prior to the
maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
| ♦ |
The temporary price at which TDS may initially buy the Securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Securities — Assuming that all
relevant factors remain constant after the trade date, the price at which TDS may initially buy or sell the Securities in the secondary market (if TDS makes a market in the Securities, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed the
estimated value of the Securities on the trade date, as well as the secondary market value of the Securities, for a temporary period after the settlement date of the Securities, as discussed further under “Additional Information Regarding
the Estimated Value of the Securities” herein. The price at which TDS may initially buy or sell the Securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your 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 Securities will likely be less than the issue price. The issue 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 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 Securities — sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses — There may be little or no secondary market
for the Securities. The Securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network. TDS or another of our affiliates intends to make a market for the Securities; however, they are not required
to do so and may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the 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 Securities in any secondary market could be substantial.
|
| ♦ |
If the value of the underlying asset changes, the market value of your Securities may not change in the same manner — Your Securities may trade quite differently from the
performance of the underlying asset. Changes in the value of the underlying asset may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your Securities. Even if the closing level of the underlying asset increases to greater than the
initial level during the term of the Securities, the market value of your Securities may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
|
| ♦ |
Economic and market factors affecting the terms and market price of Securities prior to maturity — Because structured notes, including the Securities, can be thought of as
having a debt component and a derivative component, factors that influence the values of debt instruments and options and other derivatives will also affect the terms and features of the Securities at issuance and the market price of the
Securities prior to maturity. These factors include the level of the underlying asset and the underlying constituents; the volatility of the underlying asset and the underlying constituents; any expected dividends on the underlying
constituents; the time remaining to the maturity of the Securities; interest rates in the markets; geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, force majeure and regulatory or judicial events; the creditworthiness of TD; the
then current bid-ask spread for the Securities and the factors discussed under “— Risks Relating to Hedging Activities and Conflicts of Interest — Potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent” below. These and other
factors are unpredictable and interrelated and may offset or magnify each other
|
| ♦ |
Potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent — The calculation agent will, among other things, determine the amount payable on the Securities. We
will serve as the calculation agent and may appoint a different calculation agent after the settlement 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 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 return on the 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.
|
| ♦ |
Trading and business activities by TD, the agents or our or their respective affiliates may adversely affect the market value of, and any amounts payable on, the Securities —
We, the agents and/or our or their respective affiliates may hedge our obligations under the Securities by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the values of
the underlying asset or one or more underlying constituents, 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 or their
respective affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the market value of the Securities declines. We, the agents or one or more of our or their respective affiliates may also issue or underwrite other
securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the underlying asset or one or more underlying constituents.
|
| ♦ |
Credit risk of TD — Although the return on the Securities will be based on the performance of the underlying asset, the payment of any amount due on the Securities is
subject to TD’s credit risk. The Securities are TD’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the 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 Securities.
If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amount due under the terms of the Securities and could lose all of their initial investment.
|
| ♦ |
Uncertain tax treatment — The U.S. tax treatment of the Securities is uncertain. Please read carefully the sections entitled “What Are the Tax Consequences of the
Securities?” herein and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the product supplement. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your investment in the Securities.
