The notes are being issued by The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD”). There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt
security, including different investment risks and certain additional costs. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page TS-6 of this term sheet, “Additional Risk Factors” on page TS-7 of this term sheet and “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-6 of product
supplement EQUITY ARN-1 and page 1 of the prospectus.
The initial estimated value of the notes at the time the terms of the notes were set on the pricing date was $9.818 per unit, which is less than the public offering price listed below.
See “Summary” on the following page, “Risk Factors” beginning on page TS-6 of this term sheet and “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-12 of this term sheet for additional information. The actual value of your notes at any time will reflect many
factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy.
None of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), any state securities commission, or any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these
notes or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this document, product supplement EQUITY ARN-1 or the prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Summary
The Accelerated Return Notes® Linked to the SPDR® S&P® Biotech ETF due August 28, 2026 (the “notes”) are our senior unsecured debt securities,
Series H. The notes are not guaranteed or insured by the CDIC, the FDIC or any other governmental agency, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. The notes are not bail-inable debt securities (as defined in the
prospectus) under the CDIC Act. The notes will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured debt. Any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, will be subject to the credit risk of TD.
The notes provide you a leveraged return, subject to a cap, if the Ending Value of the Market Measure, which is the shares of the SPDR® S&P® Biotech ETF (the “Underlying Fund”), is greater than the Starting Value. If the
Ending Value is equal to the Starting Value, you will receive the principal amount of your notes. If the Ending Value is less than the Starting Value, you will lose all or a portion of the principal amount of your notes. Any payments on the notes
will be calculated based on the $10 principal amount per unit and will depend on the performance of the Underlying Fund, subject to our credit risk. See “Terms of the Notes” below.
The economic terms of the notes (including the Capped Value) 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 selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be paid in connection with the offering of the notes, the estimated profit that we expect to earn in connection with
structuring the notes, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the notes and the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements as discussed further below and under “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-12.
On the cover page of this term sheet, we have provided the initial estimated value for the notes. The initial estimated value of your notes on the pricing date is less than their public
offering price. The initial estimated value was determined by reference to our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, typically including expected volatility of the Market Measure, interest rates (forecasted, current
and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the notes and our internal funding rate which take into account a number of variables 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. 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 have increased the initial estimated value of the notes and to have had an adverse
effect on the economic terms of the notes. For more information about the initial estimated value and the structuring of the notes, see the related discussion under “Risk Factors” and “Structuring the Notes” herein.

Hypothetical Payout Profile
Accelerated Return Notes®
|
This graph reflects the returns on the notes, based on the Participation Rate of 300.00% and the Capped Value of $12.722 per unit. The green line reflects the returns on the notes,
while the dotted gray line reflects the returns of a direct investment in the Market Measure, excluding dividends or distributions.
This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. See the below table for a further illustration of the range of hypothetical payments at maturity.
|
Hypothetical Payments at Maturity
The following table and examples are for purposes of illustration only. They are based on hypothetical values and show hypothetical
returns on the notes. They illustrate the calculation of the Redemption Amount and total rate of return based on a hypothetical Starting Value of 100.00, the Participation Rate of 300.00%, the Capped Value of $12.722 per unit and a range of
hypothetical Ending Values. The actual amount you receive and the resulting total rate of return will depend on the actual Starting Value, and Ending Value and whether you hold the notes to maturity. The
following examples do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the notes.
For recent actual prices of the Underlying Fund, see “The Underlying Fund” section below. In addition, all payments on the notes are subject to issuer credit risk. If TD, as issuer,
becomes unable to meet its obligations as they become due, you could lose some or all of your investment.

Redemption Amount Calculation Examples
Example 1
|
The Ending Value is 60.00, or 60.00% of the Starting Value:
|
Starting Value:
|
100.00
|
Ending Value:
|
60.00
|
|
|
= $6.00 Redemption Amount per unit
|
Example 2
|
The Ending Value is 102.00, or 102.00% of the Starting Value:
|
Starting Value:
|
100.00 |
Ending Value:
|
102.00 |
|
|
= $10.60 Redemption Amount per unit
|
Example 3
|
The Ending Value is 130.00, or 130.00% of the Starting Value:
|
Starting Value:
|
100.00
|
Ending Value:
|
130.00
|
|
|
= $19.00, however, because the Redemption Amount for the notes cannot exceed the Capped Value, the Redemption Amount will be $12.722 per unit

Risk Factors
There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You should
carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page PS-6 of product supplement EQUITY ARN-1 and page 1 of the prospectus. We also urge you to consult your 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 your particular circumstances.
Structure-Related Risks
|
◾ |
Depending on the performance of the Underlying Fund as measured shortly before the maturity date, your investment may result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.
|
|
◾ |
Your return on the notes may be less than the yield you could earn by owning a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity.
|
|
◾ |
Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the Capped Value and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Underlying Fund or the securities held by the Underlying Fund.
|
Market Measure-Related Risks
|
◾ |
The sponsor and investment advisor of the Underlying Fund may adjust the Underlying Fund in a way that may adversely affect the value of the notes and the amount payable on the notes, and these entities have no obligation to consider your
interests.
|
|
◾ |
The sponsor of the S&P® Biotechnology Select Industry™ Index (the “Underlying Index”), described below, may adjust the Underlying Index in a way that affects its level, and has no obligation to consider your interests.
|
|
◾ |
You will have no rights of a holder of the Underlying Fund or the securities held by the Underlying Fund, and you will not be entitled to receive any shares of the Underlying Fund or the securities held by the Underlying Fund, or any
dividends or other distributions in respect of the Underlying Fund or the securities held by the Underlying Fund.
|
|
◾ |
While we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates may from time to time own shares of the Underlying Fund or the securities held by the Underlying Fund, none of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates
control the Underlying Fund or any company held by the Underlying Fund, and have not verified any disclosure made by the Underlying Fund or any other company.
|
|
◾ |
There are liquidity and management risks associated with the Underlying Fund.
|
|
◾ |
The performance of the Underlying Fund may not correlate with the performance of its Underlying Index as well as the net asset value per share of the Underlying Fund, especially during periods of market volatility when the liquidity and
the market price of the shares of the Underlying Fund and/or the securities held by the Underlying Fund may be adversely affected, sometimes materially.
|
|
◾ |
The Redemption Amount will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect the Underlying Fund. See “Description of ARNs—Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to Underlying Funds” beginning on page PS-28 of
product supplement EQUITY ARN-1.
|
Valuation- and Market-Related Risks
|
◾ |
The initial estimated value of your notes on the pricing date is less than their public offering price. The difference between the public offering price of your notes and the initial 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 (including, but not limited to, the hedging related charge, as further described under “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-12).
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 and the amount of any such profit or loss will not be
known until the maturity date.
|
|
◾ |
The initial estimated value of your notes is based on our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the initial 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 (including, but not limited to, the
hedging related charge, as further described under “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-12), 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 have increased the initial estimated value of the notes and have had an adverse effect on the economic terms of the notes.
|
|
◾ |
The initial 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, including BofAS and MLPF&S. The initial
estimated value of your notes when the terms of the notes were set on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, typically including the expected volatility of the Market Measure,
interest rates (forecasted, current and
|
historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the notes and our internal funding rate, 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, including those of BofAS and MLPF&S, 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 any secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your notes, if any, may be materially less than the
initial 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 initial 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 exists, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be less than the public offering
price of your notes, may be less than the initial estimated value of your notes and could result in a substantial loss to you. The initial estimated value of the notes will not be a prediction of the prices at which MLPF&S, BofAS, or our
or their respective affiliates 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
initial 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 MLPF&S, BofAS, or our or their respective affiliates 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 maturity could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
|
◾ |
A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. None of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates is obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the notes. There is no assurance that any party will be
willing to purchase your notes at any price in any secondary market.
|
Conflict-Related Risks
|
◾ |
Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS and our and their respective affiliates (including trades in the Underlying Fund or the securities held by the Underlying Fund), and any hedging and trading
activities we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates engage in for our clients’ accounts, may affect the market value of, and return on, the notes and may create conflicts of interest with you.
|
|
◾ |
There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agents, one of which is us and one of which is BofAS, as the determinations made by the calculation agents may be discretionary and could adversely affect any payment
on the notes.
|
General Credit-Related Risks
|
◾ |
Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the notes. If we become unable to meet our financial obligations as they become due, you may
lose some or all of your investment.
|
Tax-Related Risks
|
◾ |
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain and, because of this uncertainty, there is a risk that the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes could differ materially and adversely from the treatment
described below in “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, as described further in product supplement EQUITY ARN-1 under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Alternative Treatments”. You should consult
your tax advisors as to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes and the potential alternative treatments.
|
|
◾ |
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the notes, please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences — Canadian Taxation” and in the product supplement EQUITY ARN-1 under
“Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences” and the further discussion herein under “Summary of Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) for
Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the notes in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the notes and receiving the payments that might be
due under the notes.
|
Additional Risk Factors
The stocks held by the Underlying Fund are concentrated in one sector.
The Underlying Fund holds securities issued by companies in the biotechnology sector. As a result, the stocks that will determine the performance of the Underlying Fund are concentrated in one sector.
Although an investment in the notes will not give holders any ownership or other direct interests in the securities held by the Underlying Fund, the return on an investment in the notes will be subject to certain risks associated with a direct equity
investment in companies in the biotechnology sector. Accordingly, by investing in the notes, you will not receive the full benefit from the diversification which could result from an investment linked to companies that operate in multiple sectors.
Adverse conditions in the biotechnology sector may reduce your return on the notes.
All of the stocks held by the Underlying Fund are issued by companies whose primary lines of business are directly associated with the biotechnology sector. The profitability of these companies is
largely dependent on, among other things, demand for the companies’ products, regulatory influences on the biotechnology market (including healthcare reform and receipt of regulatory approvals and compliance with complex regulatory requirements),
pricing and reimbursement from third party payors, continued innovation and successful development of new products, talent attraction and retention, maintaining intellectual property rights and industry competition. Any adverse developments affecting
the biotechnology sector could adversely affect the price of the Underlying Fund and, in turn, the value of the notes.
The sponsor or investment advisor of the Underlying Fund may adjust the Underlying Fund in a way that affects its prices, and the sponsor or investment advisor has no obligation to
consider your interests.
The sponsor or investment advisor of the Underlying Fund can add, delete, or substitute the components included in the Underlying Fund or make other methodological changes that could change its price.
Any of these actions could adversely affect the value of your notes.
The Underlying Fund
All disclosures contained in this term sheet regarding the Underlying Fund, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation, and changes in its components, have been derived from
publicly available sources. The information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, SSGA Funds Management, Inc., the advisor to the Underlying Fund (the “sponsor” or “SSGA”). The sponsor has no obligation to continue to publish, and
may discontinue publication of, the Underlying Fund. The consequences of the sponsor discontinuing publication of the Underlying Fund are discussed in the section entitled “Description of ARNs —Anti-Dilution and Discontinuance Adjustments Relating to
Underlying Funds” beginning on page PS-28 of product supplement EQUITY ARN-1. None of us, our affiliates, the calculation agents, MLPF&S or BofAS accepts any responsibility for the calculation, maintenance or publication of the Underlying Fund or
any successor Underlying Fund.
The SPDR® S&P® Biotech ETF |
The Underlying Fund is one of the separate investment portfolios that constitute the SPDR® Series Trust (“SPDR”). The Underlying Fund seeks to provide
investment results that correspond generally to the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Underlying Index. The Underlying Index seeks to measure the performance of the biotechnology segment of the S&P Total Market Index
(“S&P TMI”). The biotechnology segment of the S&P TMI comprises the biotechnology sub-industry. The Underlying Index is calculated, maintained and published by, S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (the “sponsor”). The sponsor is under no
obligation to continue to publish, and may discontinue or suspend the publication of, the Underlying Index at any time.
Select information regarding the Underlying Fund’s expense ratio and its top constituents may be made available on the Underlying Fund’s website. Expenses of the Underlying Fund
reduce the net asset value of the assets held by the Underlying Fund and, therefore, reduce the value of the shares of the Underlying Fund.
SSGA uses a sampling strategy to manage the Underlying Fund, an indexing investment strategy, which means that the Underlying Fund is not required to purchase all of the securities
represented in the Underlying Index. Instead, the Underlying Fund may purchase a subset of the securities in the Underlying Index in an effort to hold a portfolio of securities with generally the same risk and return characteristics of the Underlying
Index. The Underlying Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Underlying Index.
Under normal market conditions, the Underlying Fund generally invests substantially all, but at least 80%, of its total assets in the securities comprising the Underlying Index. In
addition, in seeking to track the Underlying Index, the Underlying Fund may invest in equity securities that are not included in the Underlying Index, cash and cash equivalents or money market instruments, such as repurchase agreements and money
market funds (including money market funds advised by SSGA). In seeking to track the Underlying Index, the Underlying Fund’s assets may be concentrated in an industry or group of industries to the extent that the Underlying Index concentrates in a
particular industry or group of industries. Futures contracts may be used by the Underlying Fund in seeking performance that corresponds to the Underlying Index and in managing cash flows.
Shares of the Underlying Fund are listed on the NYSE Arca under ticker symbol “XBI”. In making your investment decision you should review the prospectus related to the Underlying
Fund.
Information from outside sources including any other website referenced in this section, is not incorporated by reference in, and should not be considered part of, this document or
any document incorporated herein by reference. We have not undertaken an independent review or due diligence of any publicly available information with respect to the Underlying Fund or the Underlying Index.
Historical Data
The following graph shows the daily historical performance of the Underlying Fund on its primary exchange in the period from January 1, 2015 through June 26,
2025. We obtained this historical data from Bloomberg L.P. We have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information obtained from Bloomberg L.P. On the pricing date, the Closing Market Price of the Underlying Fund was
$83.68. The graph below may have been adjusted to reflect certain corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse stock splits.
Historical Performance of the Underlying Fund

Any historical upward or downward trend in the price per share of the Underlying Fund during any period set forth above is not an indication that the price per share of the Underlying Fund is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time
over the term of the notes.
You should consult publicly available sources for the prices and trading patterns of the Underlying Fund.
Supplement to the Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)
Under our distribution agreement, we have appointed TDS, an affiliate of TD, and BofAS as agents for the sale of the notes. TDS will purchase the notes from us, and BofAS will
purchase the notes from TDS, each at the public offering price less the indicated underwriting discount indicated on the cover hereof MLPF&S will purchase the notes from BofAS for resale, and will receive a selling concession in connection with
the sale of the notes in an amount up to the full amount of the underwriting discount indicated on the cover of this term sheet. BofAS and MLPF&S will offer the notes at the public offering price set forth on the cover page hereof. We or one of
our affiliates will also pay a fee to LFT Securities, LLC for providing certain electronic platform services with respect to this offering, which will have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the notes. An affiliate of each of TD and BofAS has
an ownership interest in LFT Securities, LLC. 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.
We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than one business day following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than one business day
prior to the settlement date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. In the original offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units. If you place an order to purchase the
notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S and/or one of its affiliates acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.
MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their affiliates may repurchase and resell the notes, with repurchases and resales being made at prices related to then-prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, and
these prices will include MLPF&S’ and BofAS’ (or such other entity’s) trading commissions and mark-ups or mark-downs. MLPF&S and BofAS (or such other entity) may act as principal or agent in these market-making transactions, but is not
obligated to engage in any such transactions. At MLPF&S’ and BofAS’ discretion, MLPF&S and BofAS may offer to buy the notes in the secondary market at a price that may exceed TD’s initial estimated value of the notes for a short, undetermined
initial period after the issuance of the notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any price offered by us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their affiliates for the notes will be based on then-prevailing market conditions and other considerations, including
the performance of the Underlying Fund and the remaining term of the notes. However, none of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our or their respective affiliates is obligated to purchase your notes at any price or at any time, and we cannot assure you
that we, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our or their respective affiliates will purchase your notes at a price that equals or exceeds the initial estimated value of the notes.
BofAS has informed us that, as of the date hereof, it expects that if you hold your notes in a BofAS account, the value of the notes shown on your account statement will be based on BofAS’ estimate of
the value of the notes if BofAS or another of its affiliates were to make a market in the notes, which it is not obligated to do. That estimate will be based upon the price that BofAS may pay for the notes in light of then-prevailing market
conditions, and other considerations, as mentioned above, and will include transaction costs. At certain times, this price may be higher than or lower than our initial estimated value of the notes.
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. Additionally, 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. Consequently, this offering of the notes will be conducted in compliance with the
provisions of FINRA Rule 5121 and TDS is not permitted to sell the notes to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.
The distribution of the Note Prospectus in connection with these offers or sales will be solely for the purpose of providing investors with the description of the terms of the notes that was made
available to investors in connection with their initial offering. Secondary market investors should not, and will not be authorized to, rely on the Note Prospectus for information regarding TD or for any purpose other than that described in the
immediately preceding sentence.
Structuring the Notes
The notes are our senior unsecured debt securities, Series H, the return on which is linked to the performance of the Underlying Fund. As is the case for all of our debt securities, including our
market-linked notes, the economic terms of the notes reflect our actual or perceived creditworthiness at the time of pricing. Our internal funding rate 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. 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. Therefore, due to these factors, the public offering price you pay to purchase the notes is greater than the initial
estimated value of the notes.
At maturity, we are required to pay the Redemption Amount to holders of the notes, which will be calculated based on the performance of the Underlying Fund and the $10 per unit principal amount. In
order to meet these payment obligations, at the time we issue the notes, we may choose to enter into certain hedging arrangements (which may include call options, put options or other derivatives) with BofAS, MLPF&S or one of their affiliates.
The terms of these hedging arrangements are determined by seeking bids from market participants, which may include MLPF&S, BofAS and one or more of our or their affiliates, and take into account a number of factors, including our
creditworthiness, interest rate movements, the volatility of the Underlying Fund, the tenor of the notes and the tenor of the hedging arrangements. The economic terms and initial estimated value of the notes depend, in part, on the terms of these
hedging arrangements.
BofAS has advised us that the hedging arrangements will include a hedging related charge of approximately $0.05 per unit, reflecting an estimated profit to be credited to BofAS from these transactions.
Since hedging entails risk and may be influenced by unpredictable market forces, additional profits and losses from these hedging arrangements may be realized by BofAS or any third party hedge providers.

Summary of Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the notes, please see the discussion in product supplement EQUITY ARN-1 under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax
Consequences” and under “Tax Consequences – Canadian Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the notes in
the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the notes and receiving the payments that might be due under the notes. We will not pay any additional amounts as a result of any
withholding required by reason of the rules governing hybrid mismatch arrangements contained in section 18.4 of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined in the prospectus).
Supplemental Discussion of 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” beginning on page PS-39 of
product supplement EQUITY ARN-1 and to discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed U.S.
Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. 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. Except as discussed under the heading “Non-U.S. Holders”, this discussion is applicable only to a U.S. holder that acquires notes upon initial issuance and holds its notes as a capital asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
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 prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Underlying Fund. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above
characterization. If your notes are so treated, subject to the discussion below regarding Section 1260 of the Code upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of a note, you generally should recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to
the difference between the amount realized on such taxable disposition and your tax basis in the note. Your tax basis in a note generally should equal your cost for the note. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you
have held your notes for more than one year (otherwise such gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss if held for one year or less) The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Section 1260. Because the Underlying Fund would be treated as a “pass-thru entity” for purposes of Section 1260 of the Code, it is possible that an investment
in the notes could be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction” within the meaning of Section 1260 of the Code. If the notes were treated as a constructive ownership transaction, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could
apply (i.e., all or a portion of any long-term capital gain that you recognize upon the taxable disposition of your notes could be recharacterized as ordinary income and you could be subject to an interest charge on deferred tax liability with
respect to such recharacterized gain). We urge you to read the discussion concerning the possible treatment of the notes as a constructive ownership transaction under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences —– Section 1260” in product
supplement EQUITY ARN-1.
Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be
reasonable to treat your notes in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the notes, it is possible that your notes could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a
single contingent payment debt instrument or pursuant to some other characterization (including possible treatment as a “constructive ownership transaction” under Section 1260 of the Code), such that the timing and character of your income from the
notes could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Alternative Treatments” on page PS-43 of product supplement EQUITY ARN-1.
Notice 2008-2. In 2007, the IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the notes. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury
are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the notes should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is possible, however, that under
such guidance, holders of the notes will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. According to the Notice, the IRS and the Treasury are also considering other relevant issues, including
whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether non-U.S. holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, and whether the special “constructive
ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Code should be applied to such instruments. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above considerations on their
investments in the notes.
Proposed Legislation. In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of notes purchased after the bill was enacted to
accrue interest income over the term of the notes despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the notes.
Furthermore, in 2013 the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments. If it had been enacted, the effect of this legislation
generally would have been to require instruments such as the notes to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, TD intends to treat your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and under “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences” of the product supplement EQUITY ARN-1, unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
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. Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of an
applicable threshold may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to such assets with their tax returns, especially if such assets are held outside the custody of a U.S. financial institution. 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 Section 871(m) of the Code and FATCA, discussed below, you should generally not be subject to
generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on your notes if you comply with certain certification and identification requirements as to your non-U.S. status, including providing us (and/or
the applicable withholding agent) a properly executed and fully completed applicable IRS Form W-8. Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed herein, gain realized from the taxable disposition of a note generally
will not be subject to U.S. tax unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by you in the U.S., (ii) you are a non-resident alien individual and are present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year
of such taxable disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied or (iii) you have certain other present or former connections with the U.S.
Section 897. We will not attempt to ascertain whether the issuer of any security held by the Underlying Fund would be treated as a “United States real property
holding corporation” (“USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code. We also have not attempted to determine whether the notes should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as defined in Section 897 of the Code. If
any such entity and/or the notes were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could possibly apply, including subjecting any gain realized by a non-U.S. holder in respect of the notes upon a taxable disposition of the notes
to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis, and the proceeds from such a taxable disposition to a withholding tax. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential treatment of any such entity as a USRPHC and/or the notes as
USRPI.
Section 871(m). A 30% withholding tax (which may be reduced by an applicable income tax treaty) is imposed under Section 871(m) of the Code on certain “dividend
equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that references one or more dividend-paying U.S. equity securities or indices containing U.S. equity securities. The withholding tax can
apply even if the instrument does not provide for payments that reference dividends. Treasury regulations provide that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked instruments that have a
delta of one (“delta-one specified equity-linked instruments”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all other specified equity-linked instruments issued after 2017. However, the IRS has issued guidance that states
that the Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the effective dates of the Treasury regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid will not apply to specified equity-linked instruments that are not delta-one
specified equity-linked instruments and are issued before January 1, 2027.
Based on our determination that the notes are not “delta-one” with respect to the Underlying Fund, our special U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the notes
should not be delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and thus should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Furthermore, the
application of Section 871(m) of the Code will depend on our determinations made when the terms of the notes are set. If withholding is required, we will not make payments of any additional amounts.
Nevertheless, after the date the terms are set, it is possible that your notes could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Underlying Fund or your notes, and following such occurrence your notes could be treated as delta-one specified equity-linked instruments that are subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. It is also possible that withholding
tax or other tax under Section 871(m) of the Code could apply to the notes under these rules if a non-U.S. holder enters, or has entered, into certain other transactions in respect of the Underlying Fund, any stock included in the Underlying Fund or
the notes. A non-U.S.
holder that enters, or has entered, into other transactions in respect of the Underlying Fund or the notes should consult its tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m)
of the Code to its notes in the context of its other transactions.
Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the notes, you are urged to consult your tax advisor
regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an investment in the notes.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders. A note may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual non-U.S. holder holds the note at the
time of his or her death. The gross estate of a non-U.S. holder domiciled outside the U.S. includes only property situated in the U.S. Individual non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of
holding the notes at death.
FATCA. 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 or other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits and income, and the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a type which 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 own 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 should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the notes, as well as any tax consequences
arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD).
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 term sheet 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 term sheet 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.
