TD (NYSE: TD) sells S&P 500‑linked senior notes with 100% upside
The Toronto‑Dominion Bank is offering senior debt securities linked to the S&P 500® Index due September 10, 2031. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and an original offering price of $1,000 per security. The estimated value on the pricing date is between $921.50 and $951.50.
The securities pay no periodic interest. If the Index rises, holders receive the face amount plus at least 100% participation in the Index increase. If the Index falls but not more than 18.70%, holders receive a positive return equal to the absolute decline (capped at 18.70%). If the Index falls more than 18.70%, holders suffer full downside exposure and may lose more than 18.70%, possibly all, of the face amount. All payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk.

Negative

Insights
TD is offering principal‑at‑risk S&P 500 linked notes with at least full upside participation and a capped contingent downside buffer.
The structure provides at least 100% upside participation and a contingent absolute return feature that converts limited declines (up to 18.70%) into positive returns, effectively creating a buffer that is operative only if the ending level does not fall beyond the 18.70% threshold. If the ending level breaches that threshold, holders have full downside exposure.
Pricing reflects an estimated value range of $921.50–$951.50, and the original offering price is $1,000 per security; differences reflect agent discounts, hedging and internal funding adjustments. Secondary market liquidity and pricing are uncertain; the agents are not obligated to make a market.
The U.S. and Canadian tax treatment is complex and uncertain; counsel opinion supports prepaid derivative characterization but IRS could disagree.
TD's special U.S. tax counsel opines the securities may be treated as prepaid derivative contracts, but alternative characterizations (e.g., contingent payment debt instrument) are possible and could materially change timing and character of income. Section 871(m) and FATCA consequences are discussed and withholding could apply under certain circumstances.
Non‑U.S. holders should review the Canadian Tax Act summary; various withholding and estate tax rules may apply. Consult a tax advisor for individual circumstances.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Absolute Return and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due September 10, 2031
|
|
|
■ Linked to the S&P 500®
Index (the “Index”)
■ Unlike ordinary debt securities, the
securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on
the performance of the Index from its starting level to its ending level. The maturity payment amount will reflect the following terms:
■ If the level of the Index increases, you
will receive the face amount plus a positive return equal to at least 100% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the percentage increase in the level of the Index from the starting level
■ If the level of the Index decreases but
the decrease is not more than 18.70%, you will receive the face amount plus a positive return equal to the absolute value of the percentage decline in the level of the Index from the starting level to the ending level, which will
effectively be capped at a positive return of 18.70%
■ If the level of the Index decreases by
more than 18.70%, you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index from the starting level, and you will lose more than 18.70%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities
■ Investors may lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the face amount
■ All payments on the securities are subject
to the credit risk of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Bank”)
■ No periodic interest payments or dividends
■ No exchange listing; designed to be held to
maturity

U.S. Tax Treatment:
|
By purchasing the securities, you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the
contrary, to treat the securities, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Index. 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 securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is
possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities
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 herein under “Canadian Taxation”, which applies to the securities. We will not pay any additional amounts as a result of any
withholding required by reason of the rules governing hybrid mismatch arrangements contained in section 18.4 of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined under “Canadian Taxation” herein ).

Agents:

The Agents may receive a commission of up to $38.70 (3.87%) per security and may use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other
dealers in connection with the distribution of the securities, or will offer the securities directly to investors. The Agents may resell the securities to other securities dealers at the original offering price less a concession not in excess
of $30.00 (3.00%) per security. Such securities dealers may include WFA. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities may pay $1.20 (0.12%) per security of the agent discount to WFA as a distribution expense
fee for each security sold by WFA.
In addition, in respect of certain securities sold in this offering, we may pay a fee of up to $3.00 per security to selected securities dealers in
consideration for marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other securities dealers. We or one of our affiliates will also pay a fee to iCapital Markets LLC, who is acting as a dealer in connection
with the distribution of the securities.
The price at which you purchase the securities includes costs that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to incur and profits that the
Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the securities, as set forth above. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary
market develops, for the securities. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your securities on the pricing date. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of
The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices” in this pricing supplement.

Investor Considerations
|
| ■ |
seek unleveraged exposure to the upside performance of the Index if the ending level is greater than the starting level;
|
| ■ |
understand that the absolute value return feature applies only if the Index decreases from the starting level but not by more than 18.70%, that any positive return in the event that the ending level is less than the starting level is
limited to 18.70% and that any decline in the ending level from the starting level by more than 18.70% will result in a loss, rather than a positive return, on the securities;
|
| ■ |
are willing to accept the risk that, if the ending level is less than the starting level by more than 18.70%, they will be fully exposed to the decrease in the level of the Index from the starting level and will lose more than 18.70%, and
possibly all, of the face amount per security at maturity;
|
| ■ |
understand and are willing to accept the downside risks of the Index;
|
| ■ |
are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the securities included in the Index; and
|
| ■ |
are willing to hold the securities until maturity.
|
| ■ |
seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling or unable to accept that the absolute value return feature applies only if the Index decreases from the starting level but not by more than 18.70%, that any positive return in the event that the ending level is less than the
starting level is limited to 18.70% or that any decline in the ending level from the starting level by more than 18.70% will result in a loss, rather than a positive return, on the securities;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to accept the risk that the ending level of the Index may decrease from the starting level by more than 18.70%;
|
| ■ |
seek full return of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page;
|
| ■ |
seek current income;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Index;
|
| ■ |
seek exposure to the Index but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the maturity payment amount for the securities;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to accept the credit risk of the Bank; or
|
| ■ |
prefer the lower risk of conventional fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Index. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the Index. As an investor in
the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the securities included in the Index for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend
payments, distributions or any other payments paid on those securities. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the securities included in the Index would have.
|
| • |
Historical Values Of A Market Measure Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of Such Market Measure During The Term Of The Securities.
|
| • |
Changes That Affect An Index May Adversely Affect The Value Of The Securities And Any Payments On The Securities.
|
| • |
We Cannot Control Actions By Any Of The Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included In Any Index.
|
| • |
We And Our Affiliates And The Agents And Their Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Index Sponsor And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.
|
| • |
Trading And Business Activities By The Bank Or Its Affiliates May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of, And Any Amount Payable On, The Securities.
|

There Are Potential Conflicts Of Interest Between You And The Calculation Agent.
