The information in this pricing supplement is not complete and may be changed. This pricing supplement is not an offer to sell nor does it
seek an offer to buy these Notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD” or “we”) is offering the Autocallable Fixed Interest Barrier Notes (the “Notes”) linked to the least performing among the common
stock of Apple Inc., the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the class C capital stock of Alphabet Inc. and the common stock of QUALCOMM Incorporated (each, a “Reference Asset” and together, the “Reference Assets”).
The Notes will pay you an Interest Payment on each Interest Payment Date (including the Maturity Date) at a per annum rate of at least 9.10% (the “Interest Rate”, to
be determined on the Pricing Date), regardless of the performance of the Reference Assets, unless the Notes are subject to an automatic call. The Notes will be automatically called if, on any Call Observation Date, the Closing Value of each Reference
Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value, which is equal to 100.00% of its Initial Value. If the Notes are automatically called, on the first following Interest Payment Date (the “Call Payment Date”), we will pay a cash payment per
Note equal to the Principal Amount, plus the Interest Payment otherwise due. No further amounts will be owed under the Notes. If the Notes are not automatically called, the amount we pay at maturity, in addition to the Interest Payment otherwise due,
if anything, will depend on the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on its Final Valuation Date (each, its “Final Value”) relative to its Barrier Value, which is equal to 60.00% of its Initial Value. The payment at maturity will be calculated as
follows:
the sum of (1) $1,000 plus (2) the product of (i) $1,000 times (ii) the Least Performing Percentage Change
In this scenario, investors will suffer a loss on their initial investment that is proportionate to the Reference Asset with the lowest
percentage change from its Initial Value to its Final Value (the “Least Performing Reference Asset”) over the term of the Notes. Specifically, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least
Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the entire Principal Amount. Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk.
The Notes are unsecured and are not savings accounts or insured deposits of a bank. The Notes are not insured or guaranteed by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality of Canada or the United States. The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network.
The Notes have complex features and investing in the Notes involves a number of risks. See “Additional Risk Factors” beginning on page P-7 of this pricing
supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” beginning on page PS-6 of the product prospectus supplement MLN-ES-ETF-1 dated June 19, 2019 (the “product prospectus supplement”) and “Risk Factors” on page 1 of the prospectus dated June 18,
2019 (the “prospectus”).
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these Notes or determined that this
pricing supplement, the product prospectus supplement or the prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
We will deliver the Notes in book-entry only form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company on or about December 27, 2019 against payment in immediately available funds.
The estimated value of your Notes at the time the terms of your Notes are set on the Pricing Date is expected to be between $915.00 and $945.00 per Note, as discussed further under
“Additional Risk Factors—Estimated Value” beginning on page P-8 and “Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes” on page P-21 of this pricing supplement. The estimated value is expected to be less than the public offering price
of the Notes.
The public offering price, underwriting discount and proceeds to TD listed above relate to the Notes we issue initially. We may decide to sell additional Notes after the date of the final pricing
supplement, at public offering prices and with underwriting discounts and proceeds to TD that differ from the amounts set forth above. The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in the Notes will depend in part on the public offering
price you pay for such Notes.
Additional Risk Factors
The Notes involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the terms of the Notes. For additional information
as to these and other risks, please see “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the product prospectus supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus.
You should carefully consider whether the Notes are suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them. Accordingly, prospective investors should consult their investment, legal,
tax, accounting and other advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and the suitability of the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.
Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss.
The Notes do not guarantee the return of the Principal Amount and investors may lose up to their entire investment in the Notes. Specifically, if the Notes are not automatically called and the Final
Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the entire
Principal Amount.
The Potential Positive Return on the Notes Is Limited to the Interest Payments Paid on the Notes, Regardless of Any Appreciation in the Price of Any Reference Asset.
The potential positive return on the Notes is limited to the Interest Payments paid, meaning any positive return on the Notes will be composed solely by the sum of the Interest Payments paid over the
term of the Notes. Therefore, if the appreciation of any Reference Asset exceeds the sum of the Interest Payments actually paid on the Notes, the return on the Notes will be less than that on a direct investment in such Reference Asset or on a security
directly linked to the positive performance of such Reference Asset.
Your Return May Be Less than the Return on a Conventional Debt Security of Comparable Maturity.
The return that you will receive on your Notes, which could be negative, may be less than the return you could earn on other investments. Even if the Notes are not subject to an
automatic call and your return on the Notes is positive, your return may be less than the return you would earn if you bought a conventional, interest-bearing senior debt security of TD of comparable maturity or if you invested directly in any of the
Reference Assets. Your investment may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when you take into account factors that affect the time value of money.
The Notes May Be Automatically Called Prior to the Maturity Date And Are Subject to
Reinvestment Risk.
If your Notes are automatically called, no further payments will be owed to you under the Notes after the applicable Call Payment Date. Therefore, because the Notes could be called as early as the first
potential Call Payment Date, the holding period could be limited. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the Notes are
automatically called prior to the Maturity Date. Furthermore, to the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment with a comparable return for a similar level of risk, you may incur transaction costs such as dealer discounts and
hedging costs built into the price of the new notes.
Investors Are Exposed to the Market Risk of Each Reference Asset.
Your return on the Notes is not linked to a basket consisting of the Reference Assets. Rather, it will be contingent upon the performance of each Reference Asset. Unlike an instrument with a return
linked to a basket of indices, common stocks or other underlying securities, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all of the components of the basket, you will be exposed equally to the risks related to each Reference Asset on the Final
Valuation Date. Poor performance by any Reference Asset as of the Final Valuation Date will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by any positive performance of any other Reference Asset as of such date. For instance, you
will receive a negative return equal to the Least Performing Percentage Change if the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value on its Final Valuation Date, even if the Percentage Change of another Reference Asset is positive or
has not declined as much. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each Reference Asset.
Because the Notes are Linked to the Least Performing Reference Asset, You Are Exposed to a Greater Risk of Losing a Significant Portion or All of Your Initial Investment at Maturity than if the Notes Were
Linked to a Single Reference Asset or Fewer Reference Assets.
The risk that (i) the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value and (ii) that you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment in the Notes is greater if you
invest in the Notes than the risk of investing in substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of only one Reference Asset or fewer Reference Assets. With more Reference Assets, it is more likely that the Final Value of any
Reference Asset will be less than its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date than if the Notes were linked to a single Reference Asset or fewer Reference Assets.
In addition, the lower the correlation is between the performance of a pair of Reference Assets, the more likely it is that one of the Reference Assets will decline in value to a Final Value that is less
than its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date. Although the correlation of the Reference Assets’ performance may change over the term of the Notes, the economic terms of the Notes, including the Barrier Value and Interest Rate are determined, in
part, based on the correlation of the Reference Assets’ performance calculated using our internal models at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. All things being equal, a higher Interest Rate and lower Barrier Values are generally
associated with lower correlation of the Reference Assets. Therefore, if the performance of a pair of Reference Assets is not correlated to each other or is negatively correlated, the risk that the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less
than its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date is even greater despite a lower Barrier Value. Therefore, it is more likely that the Final Value of a Reference Asset will be less than its Barrier
Value and that you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment at maturity.
Investors Are Subject to TD’s Credit Risk, and TD’s Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect the Market Value of the Notes.
Although the return on the Notes will be based on the performance of the Least Performing Reference Asset, the payment of any amount due on the Notes is subject to TD’s credit risk. The Notes are TD’s
senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of TD and to changes in the market’s view of TD’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in
TD’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking TD’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Notes. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors
may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the Notes.
The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses and Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.
Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the Notes will likely be less than the public offering price. The public
offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, any underwriting discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes. In addition, any
such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction.
There May Not Be an Active Trading Market for the Notes — Sales in the Secondary Market May Result in Significant Losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes. The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network. The Agent may make a market for the
Notes; 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 Notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that
transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your Notes in any secondary market could be substantial.
If you sell your Notes before the Maturity Date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the public offering price irrespective of the value of the then-current least performing Reference
Asset, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
The Interest Rate Will Reflect, In Part, the Volatility of each Reference Asset and May Not Be Sufficient to Compensate You for the Risk of Loss at Maturity.
Generally, the higher the Reference Assets’ volatility, the more likely it is that the Closing Value of each Reference Asset could be less than its Barrier Value on the Final
Valuation Date. Volatility means the magnitude and frequency of changes in the values of the Reference Assets. This greater risk will generally be reflected in a higher Interest Rate for the Notes than the interest rate payable on our conventional debt
securities of comparable maturity. However, while the Interest Rate is set on the Pricing Date, the Reference Assets’ volatility can change significantly over the term of the Notes, and may increase. The value of any Reference Asset could fall sharply
during the term of the Notes, including on the Final Valuation Date, resulting in an increased risk of being exposed to the Least Performing Reference Asset on the Final Valuation Date and an increased risk of losing a significant portion or all of
your Principal Amount.
There Are Single Stock Risks Associated with each Reference Asset.
The value of each Reference Asset can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to such Reference Asset and its issuer (the “Reference Asset Issuer”, and together, the “Reference
Asset Issuers”), such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock and commodity
market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. You, as an investor in the Notes, should make your own investigation into the Reference Assets and Reference Asset Issuers for your Notes. For additional information,
see “Information Regarding the Reference Assets” in this pricing supplement and each Reference Asset Issuer’s SEC filings. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the Reference Asset
Issuers with the SEC.
Estimated Value
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Expected To Be Less Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes.
The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is expected to be less than the public offering price of your Notes. The difference between the public offering price of your
Notes and the estimated value of the Notes reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the Notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the Notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by
market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss.
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Based on Our Internal Funding Rate.
The estimated value of your Notes 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
Notes generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This
discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the Notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Notes
in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our
conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the Notes to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other
economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes is expected to increase the estimated value of the Notes at any time.
The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Based on Our Internal Pricing Models, Which May Prove to Be Inaccurate and May Be Different from the Pricing Models of Other
Financial Institutions.
The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is based on our internal pricing models when the terms of the Notes 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 Notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Notes in the secondary market. As a
result, the secondary market price of your Notes may be materially less than the estimated value of the Notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change,
and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Not a Prediction of the Prices at Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, If Any, and Such Secondary Market
Prices, If Any, Will Likely be Less Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes and May Be Less Than the Estimated Value of Your Notes.
The estimated value of the Notes will not be a prediction of the prices at which the Agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you
in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your Notes in the secondary market at any time, if any, will be influenced by many factors that cannot be
predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than the estimated value of the Notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your Notes take into account the levels at which our
debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the Notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the Notes, secondary market prices of your
Notes will likely be less than the public offering price of your Notes. As a result, the price at which the Agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will
likely be less than the price you paid for your Notes, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
The Temporary Price at Which the Agent May Initially Buy the Notes in the Secondary Market May Not Be Indicative of Future Prices of Your Notes.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Pricing Date, the price at which the Agent may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market (if the Agent makes
a market in the Notes, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of the Notes on the Pricing Date, as well as the secondary market value of the Notes, for a temporary period after the Issue Date of the Notes, as discussed further
under “Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes.” The price at which the Agent may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes.
If the Value of any Reference Asset Changes, the Market Value of Your Notes May Not Change in the Same Manner.
Your Notes may trade quite differently from the performance of any of the Reference Assets. Changes in the value of any Reference Asset may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your
Notes. Even if the value of each Reference Asset increases above its Initial Value during the life of the Notes, the market value of your Notes may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
There Are Potential Conflicts of Interest Between You and the Calculation Agent.
The Calculation Agent will, among other things, determine the amounts payable on the Notes. We will serve as the Calculation Agent and may appoint a different Calculation Agent after the Issue Date
without notice to you. The Calculation Agent will exercise its judgment when performing its functions. For example, the Calculation Agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting the Reference Asset has occurred, 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 amounts payable on the Notes, the Calculation Agent may have a conflict of interest if it needs to make a determination of this kind. For additional information on the Calculation Agent’s role, see “General Terms of the Notes— Role of Calculation
Agent” in the product prospectus supplement.
You Will Have No Rights to Receive Any Shares of Any Reference Asset and You Will Not Be Entitled to Any Dividends or Other Distributions by Any Reference Asset.
The Notes are our debt securities. They are not equity instruments, shares of stock, or securities of any other issuer. Investing in the Notes will not make you a holder of shares of any Reference Asset.
You will not have any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, any rights against any Reference Asset Issuer. As a result, the return on your Notes may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned shares
of any Reference Asset and received any dividends paid or other distributions made in connection with them. Your Notes will be paid in cash and you have no right to receive delivery of shares of any Reference Asset.
We Do Not Control any Reference Asset Issuer and Are Not Responsible for Any of their Disclosures.
Neither we nor any of our affiliates have the ability to control the actions of any Reference Asset Issuer and have not conducted any independent review or due diligence of any information related to any
Reference Asset or Reference Asset Issuer. We are not responsible for any Reference Asset Issuer’s public disclosure of information on itself or the applicable Reference Asset, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise. You should make your own
investigation into each of the Reference Asset Issuers.
You Will Have Limited Anti-Dilution Protection.
The Calculation Agent may adjust the Initial Value, and therefore the Barrier Value of a Reference Asset, for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, extraordinary dividends and other events
that affect such Reference Asset, but only in the situations we describe in “General Terms of the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the product prospectus supplement. The Calculation Agent will not be required to make an adjustment for every event
that may affect a Reference Asset. Those events or other actions by any Reference Asset Issuer or a third party may nevertheless adversely affect the price of a Reference Asset, and adversely affect the value of your Notes.
Any Call Observation Date or the Final Valuation Date and the Related Payment Dates are Subject to Market Disruption Events and Postponements.
Each Call Observation Date or the Final Valuation Date) and the related payment dates (including the Maturity Date) are subject to postponement due to the occurrence of one of 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 prospectus supplement and under “Summary—Call
Observation Dates” herein. A market disruption event for a particular Reference Asset will not constitute a market disruption event for any other Reference Asset.
Trading and Business Activities by TD or its Affiliates May Adversely Affect the Market Value of, and Any Amounts Payable on, the Notes.
We, the Agent and our other affiliates may hedge our obligations under the Notes by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or
related to changes in the price of a Reference Asset, and we may adjust these hedges by, among other things, purchasing or selling securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments at any time. 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 Notes 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 a Reference Asset.
These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders’ interest in the Notes and the interests we and our affiliates will have in our or their proprietary accounts, in
facilitating transactions, including options and other derivatives transactions, for our or their customers’ accounts and in accounts under our or their management. These trading activities could be adverse to the interests of the holders of the Notes.
We, the Agent and our affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with one or more Reference Asset Issuers, including making loans to or providing advisory
services to those companies. These services could include investment banking and merger and acquisition advisory services. These business activities may present a conflict between our, the Agent’s and our affiliates’ obligations, and your interests as
a holder of the Notes. Moreover, we, the Agent or our affiliates may have published, and in the future expect to publish, research reports with respect to a Reference Asset. This research is modified from time to time without notice and may express
opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Notes. Any of these activities by us or one or more of our affiliates or the Agents or their affiliates may affect the value of a Reference Asset and, therefore,
the market value of, and the amounts payable on, the Notes.
Significant Aspects of the Tax Treatment of the Notes Are Uncertain.
The U.S. tax treatment of the Notes is uncertain. Please read carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the product prospectus supplement, and the section entitled
“Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below. You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your investment in the Notes.
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the Notes, please see the discussion in the product prospectus supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian 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 advisor as to the consequences of
acquiring, holding and disposing of the Notes and receiving the payments that might be due under the Notes.
Hypothetical Returns
The examples set out below are included for illustration purposes only and are hypothetical examples only; amounts below may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The Closing Values and Percentage Changes of the Reference Assets used to illustrate the Payment at Maturity or upon an automatic call are not estimates or forecasts of the actual Initial Value, the Final Value or the value of any
Reference Asset on any Trading Day prior to the Maturity Date. All examples assume, for hypothetical Reference Asset A, Reference Asset B, Reference Asset C and Reference Asset D respectively; a hypothetical Initial Value of $300.00, $1,800.00,
$1,300.00 and $100.00; a hypothetical Call Threshold Value of $300.00, $1,800.00, $1,300.00 and $100.00 (each 100.00% of its hypothetical Initial Value); a hypothetical Barrier Value of $180.00, $1,080.00, $780.00 and $60.00 (each 60.00% of its
hypothetical Initial Value); a hypothetical Interest Payment of $7.583 per Note (reflecting a hypothetical Interest Rate of 9.10% per annum, which is the minimum specified on the cover hereof), that a holder purchased Notes with a Principal Amount of
$1,000 and that no Market Disruption Event occurs on any Call Observation Date or on the Final Valuation Date. The actual Interest Rate, Initial Values, Call Threshold Values and Barrier Values will be set forth on the cover page of the final pricing
supplement.
Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value on the first Call Observation Date, the Notes will be automatically called and, on the corresponding
Call Payment Date, we will pay you a cash payment equal to $1,007.583 per Note, reflecting the Principal Amount plus the Interest Payment. When added to the Interest Payments of $15.166 received in respect of the prior Interest Payment Dates, we will
have paid you a total of $1,022.749, a return of 2.2749% per Note. No further amounts will be owed under the Notes.
Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value on the fourth Call Observation Date, the Notes will be automatically called and, on the
corresponding Call Payment Date, we will pay you a cash payment equal to $1,007.583 per Note, reflecting the Principal Amount plus the Interest Payment. When added to the Interest Payments of $83.413 paid in respect of the prior Interest Payment Dates,
we will have paid you a total of $1,090.996 per Note, a return of 9.0996% per Note. No further amounts will be owed under the Notes.
Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on each Call Observation Date is less than its Call Threshold Value, we will pay the Interest Payment on each corresponding Interest Payment Date and the
Notes will not be subject to an automatic call. Because the Final Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date, on the Maturity Date we will pay you a cash
payment equal to $1,007.583 per Note, reflecting the Principal Amount plus the Interest Payment. When added to the Interest Payments of $265.405 paid in respect of the prior Interest Payment Dates, we will have paid you a total of $1,272.988
per Note, a return of 27.2988% per Note.
Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on each Call Observation Date is less than its Call Threshold Value, we will pay the Interest Payment on each corresponding Interest Payment Date and the Notes will not
be subject to an automatic call. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, we will pay you a cash payment equal to the Principal Amount plus the product of the Principal Amount and the Least
Performing Percentage Change in addition to the Interest Payment otherwise due on the Maturity Date, for a total of $307.583 per Note. When added to the Interest Payments of $265.405 paid in respect of the prior Interest Payment Dates, we will have
paid you a total of $572.988 per Note, a loss of 42.7012% per Note.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are uncertain. No statutory, regulatory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses the
characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the Notes. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion under “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the product prospectus supplement and to discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the 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.
This discussion, other than the section entitled “Non-U.S. Holders” below, applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder, as defined in the product prospectus supplement. Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not addressed herein. No
ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, TD and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative
determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize each Note as consisting of two components for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (1) a non-contingent debt instrument (the “Debt Component”); and (2) a put option contract in respect of
the Reference Assets (the “Put Option Component”). In accordance with this treatment, you agree to treat each Fixed Interest Payment as consisting of (1) interest on the Debt Component and (2) put option premium on the Put Option Component as follows:
We intend to treat the Debt Component as having a term greater than one year, so that interest payments in respect of the Debt Component would be includable in income by you in
accordance with your regular method of accounting for interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If, however, the Debt Component were treated as having a term of one year or less, amounts treated as interest on the Debt Component would be subject
to the general rules governing interest payments on short-term notes and would be required to be accrued by accrual-basis taxpayers (and cash-basis taxpayers who elect to accrue interest currently) on either the straight-line method, or, if elected,
the constant yield method, compounded daily. Cash-basis taxpayers who do not elect to accrue interest currently would include interest into income upon receipt of such interest.
Put option premium payments in respect of the Put Option Component would generally not be taxed until a sale, automatic call or maturity of the Notes. At maturity, such payments would be taxed as a
short-term capital gain.
If the Notes are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date, you generally should not recognize gain or loss with respect to the Debt Component, and you generally should recognize the total put
option premium received as short-term capital gain on the applicable Call Payment Date.
Upon a sale of the Notes for cash, you should allocate the cash received between the Debt Component and the Put Option Component on the basis of their respective values on the date of sale. You should
generally recognize gain or loss with respect to the Debt Component in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of the sale proceeds allocable to the Debt Component (less accrued and unpaid interest, which will be taxable as such) and your
adjusted tax basis in the Debt Component (which generally will equal your purchase price for the Note). This gain or loss should be capital gain or loss and should be long-term capital gain or loss if you are treated as having held the Debt Component
for more than one year at the time of sale. If the Put Option Component has a positive value on the date of sale, you should generally recognize short-term capital gain equal to the portion of the sale proceeds allocable to the Put Option Component
plus any previously received put option premium. If the Put Option Component has a negative value on the date of sale, you should generally be treated as having paid the buyer an amount equal to the negative value in order to assume your rights and
obligations under the Put Option Component. In that case, you should recognize a short-term capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the total put option premium previously received and the amount of the payment deemed made by
you with respect to the buyer’s assumption of the Put Option Component. The amount of the deemed payment will be added to the sale price allocated to the Debt Component in determining the gain or loss in respect of the Debt Component. The deductibility
of capital losses by U.S. holders is subject to limitations.
Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft 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, 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 herein.
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” in the product prospectus supplement, unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
Possible changes in law. 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 actively considering the appropriate tax treatment of holders of certain types of structured notes. Legislation has also been proposed in Congress that would require the holders of certain prepaid forward contracts
to accrue income during the term of the transaction. Additionally, in 2013, the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments that, if it had been enacted, would have required
instruments such as the Put Option Component of 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. It is not clear whether the Notice applies to instruments such as
the Notes. Furthermore, it is not possible to determine what guidance or legislation will ultimately result, if any, and whether such guidance or legislation will affect the tax treatment of the Notes.
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 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 income tax. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the
consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets. U.S. holders may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to their Notes if they do not hold their Notes in an
account maintained by a financial institution and the aggregate value of their Notes and certain other “specified foreign financial assets” (applying certain attribution rules) exceeds an applicable threshold. Significant penalties can apply if a U.S.
holder is required to disclose its Notes and fails to do so.
Non-U.S. Holders. If you are a non-U.S. holder, subject to Section 871(m) of the Code and FATCA, as discussed below, you should generally not be subject to
U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments on your Notes or to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on your Notes if you comply with certain certification and identification
requirements as to your non-U.S. status including providing us (and/or the applicable withholding agent) a properly executed and fully completed applicable IRS Form W-8. Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed
below, gain from the taxable disposition of the Notes 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 any Reference Asset Issuer 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
Reference Asset Issuer or the Notes were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could possibly apply, including subjecting any gain to a non- U.S. holder in respect of a Note upon a taxable disposition of the Note to the U.S.
federal income tax on a net basis, and the proceeds from such a taxable disposition to a 15% withholding tax. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential treatment of any such entity as a USRPHC 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 2018. 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, 2021.
Based on our determination that the Notes are not “delta-one” with respect to the Reference Assets, our 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 upon issuance of the Notes. If withholding is required, we will not make payments of any additional amounts.
Nevertheless, after issuance, it is possible that your Notes could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Reference Assets 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 you enter, or have entered, into certain other transactions in respect of the Reference Assets or the Notes. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the Reference
Assets or the Notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to your Notes in the context of your 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.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)
was enacted on March 18, 2010, and imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on “withholdable payments” (i.e., certain U.S.-source payments, including interest (and original issue discount), dividends, other fixed or determinable annual or periodical income,
and the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a type that can produce U.S.-source interest or dividends) and “passthru payments” (i.e., certain payments attributable to withholdable payments) made to certain foreign financial institutions
(and certain of their affiliates) unless the payee foreign financial institution agrees (or is required), among other things, to disclose the identity of any U.S. individual with an account at the institution (or the relevant affiliate) and to annually
report certain information about such account. FATCA also requires withholding agents making withholdable payments to certain foreign entities that do not disclose the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of any substantial U.S. owners (or
do not certify that they do not have any substantial U.S. owners) to withhold tax at a rate of 30%. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.
Pursuant to final and temporary Treasury regulations and other IRS guidance, the withholding and reporting requirements under FATCA will generally apply to certain “withholdable
payments”, will not apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition, and will apply to certain foreign passthru payments only to the extent that such payments are made after the date that is two years after final regulations defining the term “foreign
passthru payment” are published. If withholding is required, we (or the applicable paying agent) will not be required to pay additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities
located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.
Investors should consult their tax advisors about the application of FATCA, in particular if they may be classified as financial institutions (or if they hold their Notes through a foreign entity)
under the FATCA rules.
As discussed above, alternative characterizations of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes are possible. Should an alternative characterization of the Notes cause payments with respect to the
Notes to become subject to withholding tax, we (and/or the applicable withholding agent) will withhold tax at the applicable statutory rate and we will not make payments of any additional amounts.
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).
Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)
We have appointed TDS, an affiliate of TD, as the Agent for the sale of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, TDS will purchase the Notes from TD at the public offering price less
a concession not in excess of the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement for distribution to other registered broker-dealers. TDS or other registered broker-dealers will offer the Notes at the public offering price
set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement, provided that certain dealers who purchase the Notes for sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts may forgo some or all of their selling concessions, fees or commissions. The public offering
price for investors purchasing the Notes in these accounts may be as low as $967.50 (96.75%) per Note. The underwriting discount represents the selling concessions for other dealers in connection with the distribution of the Notes. The other dealers
may forgo, in their sole discretion, some or all of their selling concessions. 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.
Conflicts of Interest. TDS is an affiliate of TD and, as such, has a ‘‘conflict of interest’’ in this offering within the meaning of Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. In addition, TD will receive the net proceeds from the initial public offering of the Notes, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the
Notes will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, neither TDS nor any other affiliated agent of ours is permitted to sell the Notes in this offering to an account over which it exercises
discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.
We, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, we, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties may use this pricing
supplement in a market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. If a purchaser buys the Notes from us, TDS, another of our affiliates or 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.
Prohibition of Sales to European Economic Area Retail Investors
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“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 2002/92/EC, as
amended, 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 Directive 2003/71/EC, as amended. Consequently no key information document
required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or
otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes
The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the Pricing Date, based on prevailing market conditions on the
Pricing Date, and will be communicated to investors in a final pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the Notes are based on our internal funding rate (which is our internal borrowing rate based on variables such as market benchmarks and our appetite for borrowing), and several
factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to TDS or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or
any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Notes, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes and the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes. Because our internal
funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in
the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the Notes.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the Notes. 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 Notes, and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Additional Risk Factors” herein. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities
trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase
the estimated value of the Notes. For more information see the discussion under “Additional Risk Factors — The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Based on Our Internal Funding Rate.”
Our estimated value on the Pricing Date is not a prediction of the price at which the Notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agent may buy or sell the Notes in the
secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agent or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Pricing Date, the price at which the Agent may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated value
on the Pricing Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 3 months after the Issue Date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the
Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including
the tenor of the Notes and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we
may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the Issue Date of the Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Additional Risk Factors” herein.
