in one business day (T+1), unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Trigger PLUS in the secondary market on any date prior to one business day before delivery of the Trigger PLUS
will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Trigger PLUS initially will settle in three business days (T+3), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement of the secondary market trade.

As an alternative to direct exposure to the basket that enhances returns for a certain range of positive performance of the basket; however, by investing in the Trigger PLUS, you will not be entitled to receive
any dividends paid with respect to the stocks comprising the basket components (the “basket component constituent stocks”) or any interest payments. You should carefully consider whether an investment that does not provide for any dividends
or interest payments is appropriate for you.
|
| ■ |
To enhance returns and potentially outperform the basket in a bullish scenario.
|
| ■ |
To achieve similar levels of upside exposure to the basket as a hypothetical direct investment, while using fewer dollars by taking advantage of the leverage factor.
|
| ■ |
To provide limited protection against a loss of principal in the event of a decline of the underlying basket as of the valuation date but only if the final basket value is greater
than or equal to the trigger level. If the final basket value is less than the trigger level, the Trigger PLUS are exposed on a 1:1 basis to the negative performance of the basket.

Leveraged Performance
|
The Trigger PLUS offer investors an opportunity to capture enhanced returns on any positive performance of the basket relative to a hypothetical direct
investment in the basket components or the basket component constituent stocks.
|
||
|
Upside Scenario
|
If the final basket value is greater than the initial basket value, at maturity you will receive the stated principal amount of $1,000.00 plus the leveraged upside payment.
|
||
|
Par Scenario
|
If the final basket value is less than or equal to the initial basket value but is greater than or equal to the trigger level, which is 80.00% of the
initial basket value, at maturity you will receive the stated principal amount.
|
||
|
Downside Scenario
|
If the final basket value is less than the trigger level, at maturity you will receive significantly less than the stated principal amount, if anything,
resulting in a percentage loss of your investment equal to the basket return. For example, if the basket return is -35%, each Trigger PLUS will redeem for $650.00, or 65% of the stated principal amount. There
is no minimum payment on the Trigger PLUS and you could lose up to your entire investment in the Trigger PLUS.

| ■ |
Risk of significant loss at maturity; you may lose up to your entire investment. The Trigger PLUS differ from ordinary debt securities in that TD will not necessarily repay the stated principal
amount of the Trigger PLUS at maturity. TD will pay you the stated principal amount of your Trigger PLUS at maturity only if the final basket value is greater than or equal to the trigger level. If the final basket value is less than the
trigger level, you will lose 1% of your principal for every 1% that the final basket value falls below the initial basket value. You may lose up to your entire investment in the Trigger
PLUS.
|
| ■ |
The stated payout from the issuer applies only at maturity. You should be willing to hold your Trigger PLUS to maturity. The stated payout, including the benefit of the leverage factor, is
available only if you hold your Trigger PLUS to maturity. If you are able to sell your Trigger PLUS prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your investment in the Trigger PLUS even if the
then-current value of the basket is greater than or equal to the initial basket value.
|
| ■ |
You will not receive any interest payments. TD will not pay any interest with respect to the Trigger PLUS.
|
| ■ |
The amount payable on the Trigger PLUS is not linked to the value of the basket at any time other than the valuation date. The final basket value will be based on the basket component closing
values on the valuation date, subject to postponement for non-trading days with respect to any basket component and certain market disruption events. If the values of one or more of the basket components fall on 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 value of the basket at any time prior to such drop(s). Although the basket component closing values on the maturity date or
at other times during the term of the Trigger PLUS may be higher than the basket component closing values on the valuation date, the payment at maturity will be based solely on the basket component closing values on the valuation date.
|
| ■ |
Owning the Trigger PLUS is not the same as owning the basket component constituent stocks. The return on your Trigger PLUS may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the
basket component constituent stocks. Furthermore, you will not receive or be entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions paid on the basket component constituent stocks, and no such dividends or distributions will be
factored into the calculation of the payment at maturity on your Trigger PLUS. In addition, as an owner of the Trigger PLUS, you will not have voting rights or any other rights that a holder of the basket component constituent stocks may
have.
|
| ■ |
The basket is unequally weighted, and changes in the levels of the basket components may offset each other. The basket is unequally weighted; thus, an increase in the level of one or more basket
components may be offset by a smaller increase or a decline in the level of one or more other basket components. As a result, the basket return could be negative even if relatively few of the basket components experience a negative return,
resulting in the loss of a significant portion all of your investment in the Trigger PLUS. Because the basket components are not equally weighted, increases in lower weighted basket components may be offset by even small decreases in more
heavily weighted basket components. Specifically, the performance of the SX5E will have a significantly larger impact on the return on the Trigger PLUS than the performance of any other basket component and the performance of the SMI and
AS51 will have a significantly smaller impact.
|
| ■ |
Correlation (or lack of correlation) of the basket components may adversely affect your return on the Trigger PLUS. “Correlation” is a measure of the degree to which the returns of a pair of assets
are similar to each other over a given period in terms of timing and direction. Movements in the values of the basket components may not correlate with each other. At a time when the value of a basket component increases in value, the value
of another basket component may not increase as much, or may even decline in value. Further, high correlation of movements in the values of the basket components could adversely affect your return on the Trigger PLUS during periods of
negative performance of the basket components. Changes in the correlation of the basket components may adversely affect the market value of, and return on, your Trigger PLUS.

An investment in the Trigger PLUS involves market risk associated with the basket components. The return on the Trigger PLUS, which may be negative, is linked to the performance of the basket and
indirectly linked to the value of the basket components and the basket component constituent stocks. The value of the basket can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the applicable basket component, its basket component
constituent stocks and their issuers (the “basket component constituent stock issuers”), such as stock or 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 market or commodity market volatility and values, interest rates and economic, political and other conditions. You, as an investor in the Trigger PLUS,
should make your own investigation into the basket components and the basket component constituent stocks.
|
| ■ |
There can be no assurance that the investment view implicit in the Trigger PLUS will be successful. It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the value of the basket components,
and therefore the basket, will rise or fall and there can be no assurance that the final basket value will be greater than or equal to the initial basket value. The value of the basket components will be influenced by complex and
interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect its basket component constituent stock issuers. You should be willing to accept the risks associated with the relevant markets tracked by the basket components in
general and each basket component constituent stock in particular, and the risk of losing a significant portion or all of your investment in the Trigger PLUS.
|
| ■ |
Changes affecting a basket component, including a change in law event, could have an adverse effect on the market value of, and any amount payable on, the Trigger PLUS. The policies of the index
sponsor of each basket component as specified under “Information About the Basket and Basket Components” (each, an “index sponsor”), concerning additions, deletions and substitutions of the basket component constituent stocks and the manner
in which the index sponsor takes account of certain changes affecting those basket component constituent stocks may adversely affect the value of the applicable basket component. The policies of an index sponsor with respect to the
calculation of a basket component could also adversely affect the value of such basket component. An index sponsor may discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of a basket component. Any such actions could have an adverse effect
on the market value of, and any amount payable on, the Trigger PLUS.
|
| ■ |
The basket components reflect price return, not total return. The return on the Trigger PLUS is based on the performance of the basket components, which reflects the changes in the market prices of
the basket component constituent stocks. It is not, however, linked to a “total return” index or strategy, which, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would also reflect any dividends paid on the basket component constituent
stocks. The return on the Trigger PLUS will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.
|
| ■ |
The Trigger PLUS will not be adjusted for changes in exchange rates related to the U.S. dollar. Although the basket components are comprised of basket component constituent stocks that are traded
in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Trigger PLUS are denominated in U.S. dollars. The calculation of the amount payable on the Trigger PLUS at maturity will not be adjusted for changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar
and any of the currencies in which such basket component constituent stocks are denominated. Changes in exchange rates, however, may reflect changes in various non-U.S. economies that in turn may affect the values of the applicable basket
components and, accordingly, the amount payable on the Trigger PLUS. You will not benefit from any appreciation of the currencies in which the applicable basket component constituent stocks are denominated relative to the U.S. dollar, which
you would have had you owned such stocks directly.

The Trigger PLUS are subject to non-U.S. securities market risk. The Trigger PLUS are subject to risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets because the SX5E, TPX, UKX, SMI and AS51 are
comprised of stocks that are traded in the Eurozone, Japan, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Australia, respectively. Investments linked to the value of non-U.S. equity securities involve particular risks. Any non-U.S. securities market
may be less liquid, more volatile and affected by global or domestic market developments in a different way than are the U.S. securities market or other non-U.S. securities markets. Both government intervention in a non-U.S. securities
market, either directly or indirectly, and cross-shareholdings in non-U.S. companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in that market. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies than about
U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC. Further, non-U.S. companies are likely subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S.
reporting companies. The prices of securities in a non-U.S. country are subject to political, economic, financial and social factors that are unique to such non-U.S. country's geographical region. These factors include: recent changes, or
the possibility of future changes, in the applicable non-U.S. government's economic and fiscal policies; the possible implementation of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to non-U.S. companies or
investments in non-U.S. equity securities; fluctuations, or the possibility of fluctuations, in currency exchange rates; and the possibility of outbreaks of hostility, political instability, natural disaster or adverse public health
developments. Any one of these factors, or the combination of more than one of these or other factors, could negatively affect such non-U.S. securities market and the prices of securities therein. Further, geographical regions may react to
global factors in different ways, which may cause the prices of securities in a non-U.S. securities market to fluctuate in a way that differs from those of securities in the U.S. securities market or other non-U.S. securities markets.
Non-U.S. economies may also differ from the U.S. economy in important respects, including growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency, which may have a positive or negative
effect on non-U.S. securities prices.

There is no affiliation between any index sponsor and TD, and TD is not responsible for any disclosure by any index sponsor. We or our affiliates may currently, or from time to time engage in
business with the index sponsors. However, we and our affiliates are not affiliated with any index sponsor and have no ability to control or predict its actions. You, as an investor in the Trigger PLUS, should conduct your own independent
investigation of each index sponsor and the basket components. The index sponsors are not involved in the Trigger PLUS offered hereby in any way and have no obligation of any sort with respect to your Trigger PLUS. The index sponsors have
no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking any actions that might affect the value of, and any amounts payable on, your Trigger PLUS.
|
| ■ |
Governmental regulatory actions, such as sanctions, could adversely affect your investment in the Trigger PLUS. Governmental regulatory actions, including,
without limitation, sanctions-related actions by the U.S. or a foreign government, could prohibit or otherwise restrict persons from holding the Trigger PLUS or the basket component constituent stocks of the basket, or engaging in
transactions therein, and any such action could adversely affect the value of the basket or the Trigger PLUS. These regulatory actions could result in restrictions on the Trigger PLUS and could result in the loss of a significant portion or
all of your investment in the Trigger PLUS, including if you are forced to divest the Trigger PLUS due to the government mandates, especially if such divestment must be made at a time when the value of the Trigger PLUS has declined.

The estimated value of your Trigger PLUS is expected to be less than the public offering price of your Trigger PLUS. The estimated value of your Trigger PLUS on the pricing date is expected to be
less than the public offering price of your Trigger PLUS. The difference between the public offering price of your Trigger PLUS and the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and
structuring the Trigger PLUS, as well as hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. 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 Trigger PLUS is based on our internal funding rate. The estimated value of your Trigger PLUS on the pricing date is determined by reference to our internal funding
rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt Trigger PLUS and the borrowing rate we would
pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt Trigger PLUS. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the Trigger PLUS as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of
the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt Trigger PLUS were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS to be more
favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the Trigger PLUS is expected to increase the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS at any time.
|

The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models when the terms of the Trigger PLUS are 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 Trigger PLUS may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Trigger PLUS in the secondary market. As a result, the
secondary market price of your Trigger PLUS may be materially less than the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your Trigger PLUS in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be
less than the public offering price of your Trigger PLUS and may be less than the estimated value of your Trigger PLUS. The estimated value of the Trigger PLUS is not a prediction of the prices at which the agent, other affiliates
of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger
PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS. Further, as secondary market prices of your Trigger PLUS take into account the levels at which our debt Trigger PLUS trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs and expected
profits associated with selling and structuring the Trigger PLUS, as well as hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS, secondary market prices of your Trigger PLUS will likely be less than the public offering price of your Trigger
PLUS. As a result, the price at which the agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Trigger PLUS from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your
Trigger PLUS, 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 Trigger PLUS in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Trigger PLUS. Assuming that all relevant factors
remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the agent may initially buy or sell the Trigger PLUS in the secondary market (if the agent makes a market in the Trigger PLUS, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed the
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the Trigger PLUS, for a temporary period after the original issue date of the Trigger PLUS, as discussed further under “Additional Information
About the Trigger PLUS — Additional information regarding the estimated value of the Trigger PLUS”. The price at which

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 Trigger PLUS will likely be less than the public offering price. The public offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, any underwriting
discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. 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 Trigger PLUS — sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. There may be little or no secondary market for the Trigger PLUS. The
Trigger PLUS will not be listed or displayed on any Trigger PLUS exchange or electronic communications network. The agent or another one of our affiliates may make a market for the Trigger PLUS; however, it is not required to do so and may
stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS in any secondary market could be substantial. If you sell your Trigger PLUS before the maturity date, you may have to do so at a substantial
discount from the public offering price irrespective of the value of the basket components, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
|
| ■ |
If the value of a basket component changes, the market value of your Trigger PLUS may not change in the same manner. Your Trigger PLUS may trade quite differently from the performance of the basket
components. Changes in the value of a basket component may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your Trigger PLUS. Even if the basket component closing value of a basket component increases to greater than its initial
basket component value during the term of the Trigger PLUS, the market value of your Trigger PLUS may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
|
| ■ |
Investors are subject to TD’s credit risk, and TD’s credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the Trigger PLUS. Although the return on the Trigger PLUS will be
based on the performance of the basket components, the payment of any amount due on the Trigger PLUS is subject to TD’s credit risk. The Trigger PLUS are TD’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to pay
all amounts due on the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the
terms of the Trigger PLUS.
|
| ■ |
There are potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent. The calculation agent will, among other things, determine the amount payable on the Trigger PLUS. We will serve as
the calculation agent and may appoint a different calculation agent after the original issue date without notice to you. The calculation agent will exercise its judgment when performing its functions and may have a conflict of interest if
it needs to make certain decisions. For example, the calculation agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting a basket component 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 Trigger PLUS, the calculation agent may have a conflict of interest if it needs to make a determination of this kind. For additional information on the calculation agent’s role, see “General Terms of the Notes —
Role of Calculation Agent” in the product supplement.

The valuation date, and therefore the maturity date, are subject to market disruption events and postponements. 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. For a description of 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 Trigger PLUS. We, the agent and/or our other affiliates may hedge our
obligations under the Trigger PLUS by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the value of a basket component or one or more basket component constituent stocks,
and we may adjust these hedges by, among other things, purchasing or selling at any time any of the foregoing assets. It is possible that we or one or more of our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities
while the market value of the Trigger PLUS declines. We 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 basket components
or one or more basket component constituent stocks.

Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Trigger PLUS are uncertain. The U.S. tax treatment of the Trigger PLUS is uncertain. Please read carefully the section 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 Trigger PLUS.

Additional information regarding the
estimated value of the Trigger PLUS:
|
The final terms for the Trigger PLUS will be determined on the date the Trigger PLUS are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, based
on prevailing market conditions, and will be communicated to investors in the final pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the Trigger PLUS and the estimated cost which we may
incur in hedging our obligations under the Trigger PLUS. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt Trigger PLUS trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal
funding rate for the Trigger PLUS rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt Trigger PLUS trade in the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the Trigger PLUS.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the Trigger PLUS. The estimated value range 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 Trigger PLUS and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “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 Trigger PLUS trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the Trigger PLUS rather

|
|
|
Trigger PLUS Based on the Value of an Unequally Weighted Basket Consisting of Five Indices due October 3, 2029

|
than the levels at which our benchmark debt Trigger PLUS trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase the estimated value of the
Trigger PLUS. For more information see the discussion under “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity — The estimated value of your Trigger PLUS is based on our internal funding rate”.
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price at which the Trigger PLUS may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the
agent may buy or sell the Trigger PLUS in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the agent or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS in the secondary market, if
any, may exceed our estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 6 weeks after the original 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 Trigger PLUS and other costs in connection with the Trigger PLUS which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Trigger PLUS. We made such discretionary election and
determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the Trigger PLUS and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Trigger PLUS. 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 original
issue date of the Trigger PLUS based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Risk Factors” in this pricing supplement for additional information.

Material U.S. federal income tax
consequences:
|
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Trigger PLUS are uncertain. There are no statutory provisions, regulations,
published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the Trigger PLUS. Some of these tax consequences are summarized
below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, in the accompanying product supplement 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 Trigger PLUS, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the Trigger PLUS, 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 Trigger PLUS as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the basket. If your Trigger PLUS are so treated, you should generally recognize
long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Trigger PLUS for more than one year (and, otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss) upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your Trigger PLUS, in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Trigger PLUS. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
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 Trigger PLUS in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Trigger PLUS, it is possible that your Trigger PLUS could
alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the Trigger PLUS could differ materially and
adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, in the accompanying product supplement.

Section 1297. We will not attempt to ascertain whether any basket component constituent stock issuer would be treated as a “passive foreign investment
company” (a “PFIC”) within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code. If any such entity were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply to U.S. holders upon the taxable disposition (including cash
settlement) of a security. U.S. holders should refer to information filed with the SEC or the equivalent governmental authority by such entities and consult their tax advisors regarding the possible consequences to them if any such entity
is or becomes a PFIC.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, TD intends to treat your Trigger PLUS for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and
under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement, unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
Notice 2008-2. In 2007, the IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the Trigger PLUS. According to Notice
2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS 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.
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 Trigger PLUS, 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. U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax
advisors as to the application of this legislation to their ownership of the Trigger PLUS.
Non-U.S. Holders. Subject to Section 871(m) of the Code, and “FATCA”, discussed below, if the Trigger PLUS are offered to non-U.S.
holders, you should generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments on your Trigger PLUS or to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on your Trigger
PLUS if you comply with certain certification and identification requirements as to your non-U.S. status (by providing us (and/or the applicable withholding agent) with a fully completed and duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8). Subject
to Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed below, gain realized from the taxable disposition of a Trigger PLUS generally should 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 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
|
|
|
|
Trigger PLUS Based on the Value of an Unequally Weighted Basket Consisting of Five Indices due October 3, 2029
Trigger Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM
Principal at Risk Securities
|
|
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 Trigger PLUS are not “delta-one” with respect to the basket components or any basket component constituent stocks, our special U.S. tax
counsel is of the opinion that the Trigger PLUS 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 on the date the terms of the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events
affecting the basket components, any basket component constituent stocks or your Trigger PLUS, and following such occurrence your Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of basket
components, any basket component constituent stocks or the Trigger PLUS. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the basket components, any basket component constituent stocks or the Trigger PLUS should consult
your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to your Trigger PLUS in the context of your other transactions.
Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the Trigger PLUS, 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 Trigger PLUS.
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, 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 tax advisors about the application of FATCA, in particular if they may be classified as financial institutions (or if they hold their Trigger PLUS through a
foreign entity) under the FATCA rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. The proceeds received from a taxable disposition of the Trigger PLUS 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.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders. The Trigger PLUS may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual
non-U.S. holder holds the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS at death.
Proposed Legislation. In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of
Trigger PLUS purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the Trigger PLUS despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the Trigger PLUS.
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 Trigger PLUS to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions.
It is not possible to predict whether any similar or identical bills will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Trigger
PLUS. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the possible changes in law and their possible impact on the tax treatment of your Trigger PLUS.
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 Trigger PLUS arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD and those of the
basket component constituent stock issuers).

promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Canadian Tax Act”) generally applicable to a holder who is an individual and who acquires beneficial ownership of a Trigger PLUS upon the initial issuance of the Trigger PLUS by TD pursuant to this
offering document or common shares of TD or any of its affiliates on a conversion of a Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS, (ii) is entitled to receive all payments (including any interest, principal and dividends, if applicable) made on the Trigger PLUS 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); (v) holds the Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS or property acquired on settlement of a Trigger PLUS 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. This summary takes into account 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 the Trigger PLUS and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or
anticipate any changes in law or CRA administrative policies, 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 Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Trigger
PLUS 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).
The Trigger PLUS
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 Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS, expressed in terms of an annual rate (determined in accordance with the Canadian Tax Act) on the amount for which the Trigger PLUS was issued, does not

exceed 4/3 of the interest stipulated to be payable on the Trigger PLUS, 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 Trigger PLUS 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.

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. If any other affiliate of TD participates in this offering, that affiliate will also have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning
of FINRA Rule 5121. In addition, TD will receive the net proceeds from the initial public offering of the Trigger PLUS, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the Trigger
PLUS will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, neither TDS nor any other affiliate of ours is permitted to sell the Trigger PLUS 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 in the initial sale of the Trigger PLUS. In addition, we, TDS, another of our affiliates or
third parties may use this pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the Trigger PLUS after their initial sale. If a purchaser buys the Trigger PLUS from us, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties, this pricing
supplement is being used in a market-making transaction unless we, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties informs such purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale.

The Trigger PLUS 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 “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the Trigger PLUS or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been

The Trigger PLUS 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 Trigger PLUS or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK
has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Trigger PLUS or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
