General
| |
• |
The Notes are designed for investors who (i) seek unleveraged exposure to a limited range of the percentage increase of the shares of the SPDR® Gold Trust (the “Reference
Asset”) from the Initial Price (as defined below) to the Closing Price of the Reference Asset on the Valuation Date (the “Final Price”), (ii) are willing to accept the risk of losing up to 5.00% of their Principal Amount and (iii) are
willing to forgo interest and any distributions on the Reference Asset.
|
| |
• |
The Payment at Maturity will be greater than the Principal Amount only if the Final Price is greater than the Initial Price Price. If the Final Price is less than the Initial Price, investors will lose 1% of the
Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Price is less than the Initial Price, provided that the Payment at Maturity will not be less than the Minimum Payment Amount of $950.00 per Note. Payment on the Notes, including any
repayment of principal, is subject to our credit risk.

• If the Final Price is less than the Initial Price:
Principal Amount + (Principal Amount × Percentage Change), subject to the Minimum Payment Amount
In this scenario, the investor will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Price is less than the

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 under “Additional Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement, “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):

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.
Selected Purchase Considerations
|
• |
Potential for Unleveraged Exposure to a Limited Range of Increases in the Price of the Reference Asset, Subject to the Maximum Return – The Notes provide unleveraged exposure to a limited range of
increases in the price of the Reference Asset from the Initial Price to the Final Price. However, the opportunity to participate in the possible increases in the price of the Reference Asset through an investment in the Notes is limited
because the return on the Notes will not exceed the Maximum Return.
|
|
• |
Contingent Repayment of Principal with Potential for Downside Exposure – At maturity, if the Final Price is equal to the Initial Price, investors will receive a cash payment per Note equal to the
Principal Amount. If, however, the Final Price is less than the Initial Price, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Price is less than the Initial Price, and may lose up to 5.00% of the
Principal Amount. The Payment at Maturity will be less than the Principal Amount if the Final Price is less than the Initial Price. Payment on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to
our credit risk.
|
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 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 you may lose up to 5.00% of the Principal Amount. Specifically, if the Final Price is less than the Initial Price, you will lose 1%
of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Price is less than the Initial Price, provided that the Payment at Maturity will not be less than the Minimum Payment Amount of $950.00 per Note.
Your Potential Positive Return on the Notes is Limited by the Maximum Return and May be Lower Than the Return on a Direct Investment in the Reference Asset.
Your potential return on the Notes is limited to the Maximum Return because the Notes provide the opportunity to participate in only a limited range of increases in the price of the Reference Asset,
and in no event will the Payment at Maturity exceed the Maximum Payment Amount. Accordingly, your return on the Notes may be less than that of a hypothetical direct investment in the Reference Asset, the Reference Asset Constituents or in a
security directly linked to the positive performance of the Reference Asset or the assets comprising the Reference Asset, which consist primarily of gold (the “Reference Asset Constituents”).
The Notes Do Not Pay Interest and Your Return May Be Less than the Return on a Conventional Debt Security of Comparable Maturity.
There will be no periodic interest payments on the Notes as there would be on a conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt security of comparable maturity. The return that you will receive on the
Notes, which could be negative, may be less than the return you could earn on other investments. The Notes do not provide for interest payments and you may not receive any positive return on the Notes. Even if your return 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 Amount Payable on the Notes is Not Linked to the Price of the Reference Asset at Any Time Other Than on the Valuation Date.
The amount payable on the Notes will be based on the Final Price, which will be the Closing Price of the Reference Asset on the Valuation Date. Even if the price of the Reference Asset increases
prior to the Valuation Date, but then declines as of the Valuation Date, the Payment at Maturity may be significantly less than it would have been had the Payment at Maturity been linked to the price of the Reference Asset prior to such decline.
Although the Closing Price of the Reference Asset on the Valuation Date or at other times during the term of the Notes may be higher than the Final Price, the Payment at Maturity will be based solely on the Closing Price of the Reference Asset on
the Valuation Date, as compared to the Initial Price.
Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Reference Asset
There Are Market Risks Associated with the Reference Asset.
The price of the Reference Asset can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the Reference Asset, its sponsor (the “Sponsor”) and the Reference Asset Constituents, such as supply and demand
for gold, stock and commodity price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock 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 Sponsor and the Reference Asset for your Notes. For additional information,
see “Information Regarding the Reference Asset” in this pricing supplement. and the Sponsor's SEC filings. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the Sponsor with the SEC.
You Will Have No Rights to Receive Any Shares of the Reference Asset or any Reference Asset Constituent and You Will Not Be Entitled to Any Distributions by the Sponsor.
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 the Reference
Asset or the Reference Asset Constituents. You will not have any voting rights, any rights to receive distributions or any rights against the Sponsor. As a result, the return on your Notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you
actually owned shares of the Reference Asset or owned the Reference Asset Constituents and received the distributions made in connection with the Reference Asset. The amount you receive on the Maturity Date, if anything, will be paid in cash and
you have no right to receive delivery of shares of the Reference Asset or delivery of the Reference Asset Constituents.
We Have No Affiliation with the Sponsor and Will Not Be Responsible for Any Actions Taken by Any Such Entity.
The Sponsor is not an affiliate of ours and will not be involved in the offering of the Notes in any way. Consequently, we have no control over the actions of the Sponsor, including any actions of
the type that would require the Calculation Agent to adjust the amount payable on the Notes. The Sponsor has no obligation of any sort with respect to the Notes. Thus, the Sponsor has no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any
reason, including in taking any actions that might affect the value of the Reference Asset or the Notes. None of our proceeds from the issuance of the Notes will be delivered to the Sponsor.
The SPDR® Gold Trust Holds Only A Single Commodity and its Performance May Be More Volatile Than That of an ETF With More Diversified Holdings.
The SPDR® Gold Trust is an ETF that holds only a single commodity. Such ETF’s holdings lack diversification and does not have the benefit of other offsetting components that may increase
when other components are decreasing. Because such ETF holds only a single commodity, the performance of such ETF may be more volatile than that of an ETF that holds multiple commodities or a broad -based commodity index, and the price of the
constituents of such ETF may not correlate with, and may diverge significantly from, the prices of commodities generally.
There are Risks in Securities Relating to Commodities Trading on the London Bullion Market Association.
The value of the SPDR® Gold Trust is closely related to the price of gold. Gold is traded on the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”). The LBMA is a self-regulated association of
bullion market participants. Although all market-making members of the LBMA are supervised by the Bank of England and are required to satisfy a capital adequacy test, the LBMA itself is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should cease operations,
or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of LBMA price fixings as a global benchmark for the value of gold may be adversely affected. The LBMA is
a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to over-the-counter physical commodity markets than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. For
example, there are no daily price limits on the LBMA, which would otherwise restrict fluctuations in the prices of commodities trading on the LBMA. In a declining market, it is possible that prices would continue to decline without limitation
within a trading day or over a period of trading days.
The Value of the SPDR® Gold Trust is Not Necessarily Representative of the Gold Industry and May Not Track the Value of its Constituents.
The performance of the SPDR® Gold Trust may not fully replicate the performance of the price of gold due to the fees and expenses charged by such ETF or by restrictions on access to gold
or due to other circumstances. Such ETF does not generate any income and, because such ETF regularly sells gold to pay for its ongoing expenses, the amount of gold represented by such ETF has gradually declined over time. Such ETF sells gold to pay
expenses on an ongoing basis irrespective of whether the trading price of such ETF rises or falls in response to changes in the price of gold. The sale of such ETF's gold to pay expenses at a time of low gold prices could adversely affect the value
of such ETF. Additionally, there is a risk that part or all of such ETF's gold could be lost, damaged or stolen due to war, terrorism, theft, natural disaster or otherwise. Although the trading characteristics and valuations of an ETF will usually
mirror the characteristics and valuations of its constituents, the price of an ETF may not completely track the value of its constituents. The price of the SPDR® Gold Trust will reflect transaction costs and fees. In addition, although
an ETF may be currently listed for trading on an exchange, there is no assurance that an active trading market will continue for an ETF or that there will be liquidity in the trading market.
The Value of the Reference Asset May Not Completely Track its NAV.
The net asset value (“NAV”) of an ETF, including the Reference Asset, may fluctuate with changes in the market value of its Reference Asset Constituents. The market values of an ETF may fluctuate in
accordance with changes in NAV and supply and demand on the applicable exchange(s) and/or markets. Furthermore, the price of the Reference Asset Constituents may fluctuate significantly during periods of market volatility, which may make it
difficult for market participants to accurately calculate the intraday NAV per share of the Reference Asset and may adversely affect the liquidity and prices of the Reference Asset, perhaps significantly. For any of these reasons, the market value
of the Reference Asset may differ from its NAV per share and may trade at, above or below its NAV per share.
Adjustments to the Reference Asset Could Adversely Affect the Notes.
The Sponsor is responsible for calculating and maintaining the Reference Asset. The Sponsor can add, delete or substitute the Reference Asset Constituents. The Sponsor may make other methodological
changes to the Reference Asset that could change the value of the Reference Asset at any time. If one or more of these events occurs, the Closing Price of the Reference Asset may be adjusted to reflect such event or events. Consequently, any of
these actions could adversely affect the market value of, and return on, the Notes.
Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Less Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes.
The estimated value of your Notes is 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 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 is based on our internal pricing models when the terms of the Notes were 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, the 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 any electronic communications network. The Agent or another of our
affiliates may make a market for the Notes; 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 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 are able to 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 price of the Reference Asset at such time, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
If the Price of the 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 the Reference Asset. Changes in the price of the Reference Asset may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your
Notes. Even if the price of the Reference Asset increases to above the Initial Price during the term of the Notes, the market value of your Notes may not increase 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 Payment at Maturity 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. For example, the Calculation Agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting the 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 return 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 as to 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 Price for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, extraordinary dividends and other events that affect the Reference Asset upon the
occurrence of certain events affecting the Reference Asset, as described in the product supplement under the section “General Terms of the Notes — Anti-Dilution Adjustments”. The Calculation Agent is not required to make an adjustment for every
event that may affect the Reference Asset. Furthermore, in certain situations, such as when the Reference Asset undergoes a Reorganization Event or the Reference Asset is delisted, the 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 Asset, those events or
other actions affecting the Reference Asset, Sponsor or a third party may nevertheless adversely affect the price of the Reference Asset and, therefore, adversely affect the market value of, and return on, your Notes.
The Valuation Date and the Maturity Date are Subject to Market Disruption Events and Postponement.
The Valuation Date, and therefore the Maturity Date, are subject to postponement as described in the product supplement due to the occurrence of one or more market disruption events, which, among
other events, may occur if the Calculation Agent determines that an event materially interferes with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to maintain or unwind all or a material portion of a hedge with respect to the Notes that we or
our affiliates have effected or may effect or to effect trading in the Reference Asset generally. For additional information about what constitutes a market disruption event as well as the consequences of that market disruption event, see “General
Terms of the Notes — Market Disruption Events” in the product supplement.
Trading and Business Activities by TD or its Affiliates May Adversely Affect the Market Value of, and Return on, the Notes.
We, the Agent and/or one or more of our other affiliates may hedge our obligations under the Notes by purchasing shares of the Reference Asset or the Reference Asset Constituents, securities,
futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the price of the Reference Asset or the Reference Asset 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 and/or one or more of our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the market value of, and return on, the Notes declines. We and/or one or more of our
affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the performance of the Reference Asset or the Reference Asset Constituents.
These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders’ interest in the Notes and the interests we and/or our affiliates will have in our or their proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions,
including options and other derivatives transactions, for our and/or their customers’ accounts and in accounts under our and/or their management. These trading activities could be adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes.
We, the Agent and/or another of our affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with the Sponsor and/or relating to the Reference Asset Constituents, such as making loans or
providing investment banking and merger and acquisition advisory services. These business activities may present a conflict between our and/or one or more of our affiliates’ (including the Agent’s) obligations and your interests as a holder of the
Notes. Moreover, we, the Agent and/or another of our affiliates may have published, and in the future expect to publish, research reports with respect to the Reference Asset or the Reference Asset Constituents. 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, the Agent and/or another of our affiliates may adversely affect the price of the
Reference Asset and, therefore, the market value of, and the 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 Reference Asset, the payment of the amount due 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 the amount 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 any amount due under the terms of the Notes and could lose their entire investment.
Risks Relating to Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Taxation
Because the Notes are Subject to Special Rules Governing CPDI for U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes, you Generally will be Required to Pay Taxes on Ordinary Income from the Notes
even Though you Will Not Receive any Payment on the Notes Prior to the Maturity Date.
If you are a U.S. holder, you generally will be required to pay taxes on ordinary income from the Notes over their term based on the comparable yield for the Notes, even though you will not receive
any payment on the Notes until the Maturity Date. This comparable yield is determined solely to calculate the amount on which you will be taxed prior to the Maturity Date and is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of what the actual yield will be.
In addition, any gain you may recognize on the taxable disposition of the Notes will be taxed as ordinary interest income. If you purchased the Notes in the secondary market, the tax consequences to you may be different.
Please see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein for a more detailed discussion. Please also consult your tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax and
any other applicable tax consequences to you of owning your Notes in your particular circumstances.
Significant Aspects of the Tax Treatment of the Notes Are Uncertain.
Significant aspects of the U.S. tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax advisor about your tax situation and should read carefully the sections 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 herein under “Canadian Taxation” and the further discussion herein under
“Summary”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined under “Canadian Taxation” herein) 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 and table 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
Percentage Changes of the Reference Asset used to illustrate the calculation of the Payment at Maturity are not estimates or forecasts of the actual Initial Price, Final Price or the price of the Reference Asset on any Trading Day prior to the
Maturity Date. All examples assume an Initial Price of $100.00, the Maximum Return of 12.98% (and a Maximum Payment Amount of $1,129.80 per Note), a Minimum Payment Amount of $950.00 per Note, that a holder purchased Notes with a Principal Amount
of $1,000 per Note and that no market disruption event occurs on the Valuation Date. The actual terms of the Notes are indicated on the cover hereof.
|
Example 1 —
|
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Final Price is greater than the Initial Price.
|
|
Percentage Change:
|
5.00%
|
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
= $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × 5.00%), subject to the Maximum Payment Amount of $1,129.80
= $1,000.00 + $50.00
= $1,050.00
|
|
On a $1,000.00 investment, a Percentage Change of 5.00% results in a Payment at Maturity of $1,050.00, a return of 5.00% on the Notes.
|
|
Example 2 —
|
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Final Price is greater than the Initial Price and the Payment at Maturity is subject to the Maximum Payment Amount.
|
|
Percentage Change:
|
30.00%
|
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
= $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × 30.00%), subject to the Maximum Payment Amount of $1,129.80
= $1,000.00 + $129.80
= $1,129.80
|
|
On a $1,000.00 investment, a Percentage Change of 30.00% results in a Payment at Maturity equal to the Maximum Payment Amount of $1,129.80, a return of 12.98% on the Notes.
|
|
Example 3 —
|
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Final Price is equal to the Initial Price.
|
|
Percentage Change:
|
0.00%
|
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
At maturity, if the Final Price is equal to the Initial Price, then the Payment at Maturity will equal the Principal Amount.
|
|
On a $1,000.00 investment, a Percentage Change of 0.00% results in a Payment at Maturity of $1,000.00, a return of 0.00% on the Notes.
|
|
Example 4 —
|
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Final Price is less than the Initial Price.
|
|
Percentage Change:
|
-4.00%
|
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
$1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × -4.00%), subject to the Minimum Payment Amount of $950.00
= $1,000.00 - $40.00
= $960.00
|
|
On a $1,000.00 investment, a Percentage Change of -4.00% results in a Payment at Maturity of $960.00, a loss of 4.00% on the Notes.
|
|
Example 5 —
|
Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Final Price is less than the Initial Price.
|
|
Percentage Change:
|
-50.00%
|
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
$1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × -50.00%), subject to the Minimum Payment Amount of $950.00
= $1,000.00 - $50.00
= $950.00
|
|
On a $1,000.00 investment, a Percentage Change of -50.00% results in a Payment at Maturity equal to the Minimum Payment Amount of $950.00, a loss of 5.00% on the Notes. Payment on the Notes is subject to our credit risk.

or in any other format, information about it obtained from any other source or the information provided below.
The graph below sets forth the information relating to the historical performance of the Reference Asset for the period specified. We obtained the information regarding the historical performance of
the Reference Asset in the graph below from Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”).
We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg. The historical performance of the Reference Asset should not be taken as an indication of
its future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Closing Price or Final Price of the Reference Asset on any date. We cannot give you any assurance that the performance of the Reference Asset will result in a positive return on your
initial investment.
We have derived all information contained herein regarding the SPDR® Gold Trust (the “GLD Trust”) from publicly available information. Such information reflects the policies of, and is
subject to changes by, the sponsor of the GLD Trust, World Gold Trust Services, LLC (the “sponsor”), the trustee of the GLD Trust, BNY Mellon Asset Servicing, a division of The Bank of New York Mellon (the “trustee”), and the custodian of the GLD
Trust, HSBC Bank plc (the “custodian”).
The GLD Trust is an investment trust that seeks to reflect generally, before fees and expenses, the performance of the price of gold bullion, and the assets of the GLD Trust consist primarily of gold
held by the custodian on behalf of the GLD Trust. The GLD Trust holds gold bars, issues shares representing units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in the assets of the GLD Trust in exchange for deposits of gold and distributes gold in
connection with the redemption of shares. The GLD Trust issues shares only in baskets of 100,000 shares or integral multiples thereof. The GLD Trust’s gold is valued on the basis of each day’s announced LBMA Gold Price PM, which is the day’s
afternoon price per troy ounce, in U.S. dollars, of gold for delivery in London through a member of the LBMA authorized to effect such delivery, as calculated and administered by independent service provider(s) following an electronic auction,
pursuant to an agreement with the LBMA.
Select information regarding the GLD Trust’s expense ratio and its holdings may be made available on the GLD Trust’s website. Expenses of the GLD Trust reduce the net asset value of the assets held
by the GLD Trust and, therefore, reduce the value of the shares of the GLD Trust.
Shares of the GLD Trust are listed on the NYSE Arca under the ticker symbol “GLD”.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.
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 how the
Notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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 discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed U.S. Department of the Treasury (the
“Treasury”) regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not
addressed herein. No ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the 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 your Notes as contingent payment debt instruments (“CPDI”) subject to taxation under the “noncontingent bond method”. If your Notes are so treated, you should generally, for each
accrual period, accrue original issue discount (“OID”) equal to the product of (i) the “comparable yield” (adjusted for the length of the accrual period) and (ii) the “adjusted issue price” of the Notes at the beginning of the accrual period. This
amount is ratably allocated to each day in the accrual period and is includible as ordinary interest income by a U.S. holder for each day in the accrual period on which the U.S. holder holds the CPDI, whether or not the amount of any payment is
fixed or determinable in the taxable year. Thus, the noncontingent bond method will result in recognition of income prior to the receipt of cash.
In general, the comparable yield of a CPDI is equal to the yield at which we would issue a fixed rate debt instrument with terms and conditions similar to those of the CPDI, including the level of
subordination, term, timing of payments, and general market conditions. In general, because similar fixed rate debt instruments issued by us are traded at a price that reflects a spread above a benchmark rate, the comparable yield is the sum of the
benchmark rate on the original issue date and the spread. However, a special rule provides that the comparable yield may not be less than the “applicable federal rate” published by the Treasury.
As the Notes have only a single contingent payment at maturity, the adjusted issue price of each Note at the beginning of each accrual period is equal to the issue price of the Note plus the amount
of OID previously includible in the gross income of the U.S. holder in respect of prior accrual periods.
In addition to the determination of a comparable yield, the noncontingent bond method requires the construction of a projected payment schedule. The projected payment schedule includes the projected
amount for the contingent payment to be made under the CPDI, adjusted to produce the comparable yield. We have determined that the comparable yield for the Notes is equal to 3.73% per annum, compounded semi-annually, with a projected payment at
maturity of $1,039.05 based on an investment of $1,000.
Based on this comparable yield, if you are an initial holder that holds a Note until maturity and you calculate your taxes on a calendar year basis, we have determined that you
would be required to report the following amounts as ordinary interest income from the Note, not taking into account any positive or negative adjustments you may be required to take into account based on actual payments on such Note:

|
$39.05
|
A U.S. holder of the Notes is required to use our projected payment schedule to determine its interest accruals and adjustments, unless such holder determines that our projected payment schedule is
unreasonable, in which case such holder must disclose its own projected payment schedule in connection with its U.S. federal income tax return and the reason(s) why it is not using our projected payment schedule. Neither
the comparable yield nor the projected payment schedule constitutes a representation by us regarding the actual contingent amount that we will pay on a Note.
If the actual amount of the contingent payment at maturity is different from the amount reflected in the projected payment schedule, a U.S. holder is required to make adjustments in its OID accruals under the
noncontingent bond method described above when that amount is paid. An adjustment arising from the contingent payment made at maturity that is greater than the assumed amount of such payment is referred to as a “positive adjustment”; an adjustment
arising from the contingent payment at maturity that is less than the assumed amount of such payment is referred to as a “negative adjustment”. Any positive adjustment for a taxable year is treated as additional OID income of the U.S. holder. Any
net negative adjustment reduces any OID on a Note for the taxable year that would otherwise accrue. Any excess is then treated as a current-year ordinary loss to the U.S. holder to the extent of OID accrued in prior years. The balance, if any,
reduces the amount realized upon a taxable disposition of the Note. In general, a U.S. holder’s basis in a CPDI is increased by any interest income previously accrued (determined without regard to adjustments due to differences between projected
and actual payments) and decreased by the projected amounts of any payments previously made on the CPDI (without regard to actual amounts paid). Gain upon a sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of the Notes generally is
treated as ordinary income. Loss, on the other hand, is treated as ordinary loss only to the extent of the U.S. holder’s prior net OID inclusions (i.e., reduced by the total net negative adjustments previously allowed to the U.S. holder as an
ordinary loss) and capital loss to the extent in excess thereof. However, the deductibility of a capital loss realized on the taxable disposition of a Note is subject to limitations. Under the rules governing CPDIs, special rules would apply to a
person who purchases Notes at a price other than the adjusted issue price as determined for tax purposes. A U.S. holder that purchases a Note for an amount other than the public offering price of the Note will be required to adjust its OID
inclusions to account for the difference. These adjustments will affect the U.S. holder’s basis in the Note. Reports to U.S. holders may not include these adjustments. U.S. holders that purchase Notes at other than the issue price to public should
consult their tax advisor regarding these adjustments. Investors should consult their tax advisor with respect to the application of the CPDI provisions to the Notes. 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.
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 regular income tax. U.S. holders should consult
their tax advisors as to the consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets. 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. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.
Non-U.S. Holders. If you are a non-U.S. holder, subject to 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. Gain realized from the taxable disposition of a Note generally should not be subject to U.S. tax
unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the U.S., (ii) the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual and is 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) the non-U.S. holder has certain other present or former connections with the U.S.
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 advisors regarding the
potential application of Section 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an investment in the Notes.
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 (or the applicable withholding agent) will withhold tax at the applicable statutory rate and we will not make payments of any additional amounts.
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.
Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations, as well as any tax
consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of the Notes arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD).
Canadian Taxation
The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the
regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Canadian Tax Act”) generally applicable to a holder who is an individual and who acquires beneficial ownership of a Note upon the initial issuance of the Note by TD pursuant to this offering
document or common shares of TD or any of its affiliates on a conversion of a Note on a bail-in conversion (if applicable), and who, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty, at all relevant times, is not resident
and is not deemed to be resident in Canada, and who, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, at all relevant times, (i) deals at arm’s length with, and is not affiliated with, TD, any affiliate of TD, and any Canadian resident (or deemed Canadian
resident) to whom the holder assigns or otherwise transfers the Note, (ii) is entitled to receive all payments (including any interest, principal and dividends, if applicable) made on the Note as beneficial owner, (iii) is not, and deals at arm’s
length with each person who is, a “specified shareholder” (within the meaning of subsection 18(5) of the Canadian Tax Act) of TD and each affiliate of TD, (iv) is not an entity in respect of which TD or any affiliate of TD is a “specified entity”
(as defined in subsection 18.4(1) of the Canadian Tax Act); (iv) holds the Note or common shares of TD or any of its affiliates as capital property, (vi) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Note or common shares of TD or any
of its affiliates in or in the course of carrying on a business in Canada or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade and (vii) is not an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere (a “Non-resident Holder”).
This summary assumes that no amount paid or payable to a Non-resident Holder will be the deduction component of a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” under which the payment arises within the meaning of
paragraph 18.4(3)(b) of the Canadian Tax Act. This summary further assumes that no Note or property acquired on settlement of a Note will be “taxable Canadian property” to a Non-resident Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act at the time of
its disposition or deemed disposition.
This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of
the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and the current administrative policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) published in writing by the CRA prior to the date hereof. This summary is not exhaustive of
all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations relevant to an investment in Notes and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or CRA administrative policies or assessing practices, whether
by way of legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or consider any other federal tax considerations or any provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ materially from those
discussed herein. While this summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, no assurance can be given that this will be the case, and no assurance can be given that judicial, legislative or administrative changes will
not modify or change the statements below.
The following is only a general summary of certain Canadian federal non-resident withholding and other tax provisions which may affect a Non-resident Holder of the Notes described
in this offering document. This summary is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Non-resident Holder and no representation with respect to the income tax consequences to any
particular Non-resident Holder is made. Persons considering investing in Notes should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Notes and any common shares of TD or any of its
affiliates acquired on a bail-in conversion having regard to their own particular circumstances.
For the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, all amounts not otherwise expressed in Canadian dollars must be converted into Canadian dollars based on the single day exchange rate as quoted by the Bank
of Canada for the applicable day or such other rate of exchange that is acceptable to the Minister of National Revenue (Canada).
Notes
Interest (including amounts on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, interest) paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on a Note to a Non-resident Holder will not be
subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax unless all or any part of such interest is “participating debt interest”. “Participating debt interest” is defined in the Canadian Tax Act generally as interest (other than on a “prescribed
obligation” described below) all or any portion of which is contingent or dependent on the use of or production from property in Canada or is computed by reference to revenue, profit, cash flow, commodity price or any other similar criterion or by
reference to dividends paid or payable to shareholders of any class or series of shares of the capital stock of a corporation. A “prescribed obligation” for this purpose is an “indexed debt obligation”, as defined in the Canadian Tax Act, in
respect of which no amount payable is: (a) contingent or dependent upon the use of, or production from, property in Canada, or (b) computed by reference to: (i) revenue, profit, cash flow, commodity price or any other similar criterion, other than
a change in the purchasing power of money, or (ii) dividends paid or payable to shareholders of any class or series of shares of the capital stock of a corporation. An “indexed debt obligation” is a debt obligation the terms or conditions of which
provide for an adjustment to an amount payable in respect of the obligation for a period during which the obligation was outstanding that is determined by reference to a change in the purchasing power of money.
In the event that a Note is redeemed, cancelled, purchased or repurchased by TD or any other person resident or deemed to be resident in Canada from a Non-resident Holder or is otherwise assigned or
transferred by a Non-resident Holder to TD or another person resident or deemed to be resident in Canada for an amount which exceeds, generally, the issue price thereof, the excess may, in certain circumstances be deemed to be interest and may,
together with any interest that has accrued or is deemed to have accrued on the Note to that time, be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax if all or any part of such interest or deemed interest is participating debt interest; unless, in
certain circumstances, the Note is not an indexed debt obligation (described above) and was issued for an amount not less than 97% of its principal amount (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), and the yield from the Note, expressed in terms of an
annual
rate (determined in accordance with the Canadian Tax Act) on the amount for which the Note was issued, does not exceed 4/3 of the interest stipulated to be payable on the Note, expressed in terms of an annual rate on
the outstanding principal amount from time to time.
If applicable, the normal rate of Canadian non-resident withholding tax is 25% but such rate may be reduced under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty.
Generally, there are no other Canadian taxes on income (including taxable capital gains) payable by a Non-resident Holder under the Canadian Tax Act solely as a consequence of the acquisition,
ownership or disposition of Notes by the Non-resident Holder.
Common Shares Acquired on a Bail-in Conversion
Dividends (including amounts on account or in lieu of payment of, or in satisfaction of, dividends) paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a Non-resident Holder on any common shares of
TD or common shares of an affiliate of TD that is a Canadian resident corporation will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax of 25% but such rate may be reduced under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty.
A Non-resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of any common shares of TD or common shares of an
affiliate of TD unless such shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-resident Holder for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act at the time of their disposition, and such Non-resident Holder is not entitled to relief pursuant to the
provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Non-resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.
Supplemental 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 a concession equal to the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, which we refer to as JPMS LLC, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. will act as placement agents for the Notes
and, from the commission to TDS, will receive a placement fee of $10.00 for each Note they sell in this offering to accounts other than fiduciary accounts. TDS and the placement agents will forgo a commission and placement fee for sales to
fiduciary accounts.
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.
Additionally, we or one of our affiliates will pay a fee to an unaffiliated broker-dealer for providing certain electronic platform services with respect to this offering.
Delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on the Issue Date, which is the third DTC settlement day following the Pricing Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in
the secondary market generally are required to settle in one DTC settlement day (“T+1”), unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the Notes in the secondary market on any date prior to one
DTC settlement day before delivery of the Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that each Note initially will settle in three DTC settlement days (“T+3”), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement of the
secondary market trade.
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. 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 affiliated agent 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 and any document incorporated herein by reference in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, we, TDS,
another of our affiliates or third parties may use this pricing supplement and any document incorporated herein by reference 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 a third party, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction unless we, TDS, another of our affiliates or such third party 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 were determined on the Pricing Date, based on prevailing market conditions, and are set forth in this 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 had an adverse effect on the economic terms of the Notes.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value for the Notes. The estimated value 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 of the Notes 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” beginning on page P-3 of this pricing supplement.
Validity of the Notes
In the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, as special products counsel to TD, when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and issued by TD and
authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture and delivered, paid for and sold as contemplated herein, the Notes will be valid and binding obligations of TD, enforceable against TD in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding at law or in equity). This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves matters governed by Canadian law, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP
has assumed, without independent inquiry or investigation, the validity of the matters opined on by McCarthy Tétrault LLP, Canadian legal counsel for TD, in its opinion expressed below. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions
about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and, with respect to the Notes, authentication of the Notes and the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the opinion of Fried, Frank,
Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP filed as Exhibit 5.3 to the registration statement on Form F-3 filed by TD on December 20, 2024.
In the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, the issue and sale of the Notes has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of TD, and when this pricing supplement has been attached to, and duly
notated on, the master note that represents the Notes, the Notes will have been validly executed and issued and, to the extent validity of the Notes is a matter governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, or the laws of Canada applicable
therein, will be valid obligations of TD, subject to the following limitations: (i) the enforceability of the indenture is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, winding up, moratorium and other similar laws of general
application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) the enforceability of the indenture is subject to general equitable principles, including the fact that the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief and
specific performance, is in the discretion of a court; (iii) courts in Canada are precluded from giving a judgment in any currency other than the lawful money of Canada; and (iv) the enforceability of the indenture will be subject to the
limitations contained in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario), and such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether a court may find any provision of the indenture to be unenforceable as an attempt to vary or exclude a limitation period under that
Act. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable thereto. In addition, this opinion is subject to: (i) the assumption that the senior indenture has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of, the trustee, enforceable against the trustee in accordance with its terms; and (ii) customary assumptions about the genuineness of signatures and
certain factual matters all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated December 20, 2024, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.2 to the registration statement on Form F-3 filed by TD on December 20, 2024.
