S&P 500‑linked notes cap 24.3% return — Toronto‑Dominion Bank (NYSE: TD)
The Toronto‑Dominion Bank is offering senior, equity index linked securities tied to the S&P 500® Index with a $1,000 face amount and a stated maturity date of November 20, 2028. This preliminary pricing supplement describes market‑linked securities that pay no periodic interest and whose maturity payment depends on the Index performance, providing 100% upside participation subject to a maximum upside return of at least 24.30% and a buffered downside feature that protects the first 15% of declines; investors may lose up to 85% of the face amount if the Index falls below the threshold. The estimated value range on the pricing date is stated as $935.00–$970.00 per security, and the original offering price is $1,000 per security (agents may receive up to $25.75 per security). All payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk and tax characterization uncertainties described herein.

Insights
TD’s note mixes capped equity upside with a 15% downside buffer, shifting risk to investors.
The product offers 100% upside participation up to a capped gain (minimum cap 24.30%) and an absolute‑value feature that converts modest index declines (up to 15%) into positive returns. Beyond the 15% buffer, losses are 1:1, producing maximum potential loss of 85% of face amount.
Price discovery signals include an estimated value range of $935–$970 versus the $1,000 offering price; this spread reflects agent discounts, fees, and hedging costs. Secondary market liquidity is not guaranteed and market‑making is discretionary.
U.S. federal tax treatment is uncertain; instrument is treated as a prepaid derivative by counsel.
The issuer and its special U.S. tax counsel state a reasonable characterization as prepaid derivative contracts, but acknowledge alternative treatments (e.g., contingent payment debt instrument) could materially change timing and character of income. Section 871(m) and FATCA withholding rules are discussed as potential risks.
Holders should consult tax advisors because an adverse IRS determination or future guidance could alter tax timing or withholding, including potential 30% withholding on dividend equivalents under certain conditions.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation to a Cap with Contingent Absolute Return and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due November 20, 2028
|
|
|
■ 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 100% of the percentage increase in the level of the
Index from the starting level, subject to a maximum upside return at maturity of at least 24.30% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount. As a result of the maximum upside return, the maximum maturity payment amount will
be at least $1,243.00
■ If the level of the Index decreases but the decrease is not more than the buffer amount of 15%, 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 15%
■ If the level of the Index decreases by more than the buffer amount, you will receive less than the face amount and have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease
in the level of the Index in excess of the buffer amount
■ Investors may lose up to 85% 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 sections 12.7 and 18.4 of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined under “Canadian Taxation” herein), as such rules may be amended from time to time.

Agents:
|
TD Securities (USA) LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.
The Agents may receive a commission of up to $25.75 (2.575%) 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 $20.00 (2.00%) per security. Such securities dealers may include WFA. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities may pay $0.75 (0.075%) 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

| ■ |
are willing to accept that any potential return on the securities if the ending level is greater than the starting level is limited to the maximum upside return at maturity of at least 24.30% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the
face amount;
|
| ■ |
understand that the absolute value return feature applies only if the Index decreases from the starting level but not by more than 15.00%, that any positive return in the event that the ending level is less than the starting level is
limited to 15.00% and that any decline in the ending level from the starting level by more than 15.00% 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 the buffer amount, they will lose some, and possibly up to 85%, of the face amount per security at maturity;
|
| ■ |
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 uncapped exposure to the upside performance of the Index;
|
| ■ |
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 15.00%, that any positive return in the event that the ending level is less than
the starting level is limited to 15.00% or that any decline in the ending level from the starting level by more than 15.00% 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 the buffer amount;
|
| ■ |
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;
|
| ■ |
seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;
|
| ■ |
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.
