one business day (T+1), unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Buffered PLUS in the secondary market on any date prior to one business day before delivery of the Buffered PLUS will
be required, by virtue of the fact that the Buffered PLUS initially will settle in four business days (T+4), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement of the secondary market trade.

Payment at maturity per Buffered
PLUS:
|
◾ If the final basket value is greater than the initial basket value:
$1,000.00 + leveraged upside payment
In no event will the payment at maturity exceed the maximum payment at maturity.
◾ If the final basket value is less than or equal to the initial basket value, but not by more than the buffer amount:
$1,000.00
◾ If the final basket value is less than the initial basket value by more than the buffer amount
$1,000.00 + [$1,000.00 × (basket return + buffer amount)]
If the final basket value is less than the initial basket value by more than the buffer amount, you will lose 1% for every 1% that the final basket
value falls below the initial basket value in excess of the buffer amount and could lose up to 90% of your investment in the Buffered PLUS.

|
Final basket value:
|
The basket closing value on the valuation date.
|
||||||
|
Basket closing value:
|
The basket closing value on any day is the sum of the products of (i) the basket component closing value of each of the basket components and (ii) the applicable multiplier for such basket
component on such date.
|
||||||
|
Basket component closing value:
|
With respect to each basket component, as determined by the calculation agent and as described in the accompanying product supplement under “General Terms of the Notes — Determining the Level
of the Reference Asset — Closing Level”, and as may be adjusted as described in the accompanying product supplement under “General Terms of the Notes — Unavailability of the Level of, or Change in Law Event Affecting, the Reference Asset;
Modification to Method of Calculation”.
|
||||||
|
Multiplier:
|
As specified above under ‘Basket”, the multipliers were set on the pricing date based on each basket component’s respective initial basket component value so that each basket component
represents its applicable basket component weighting in the predetermined initial basket value. Each multiplier will remain constant for the term of the Buffered PLUS. See “Basket — Multiplier” above.

| ◾ |
As an alternative to direct exposure to the basket that enhances returns for a certain range of positive performance of the basket, subject to the maximum payment at maturity; however, by investing in the Buffered
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, and your return will not exceed the maximum
payment at maturity. You should carefully consider whether an investment that does not provide for any dividends, interest payments or exposure to the positive performance of the basket beyond a value that, when multiplied by the leverage
factor, exceeds the maximum gain is appropriate for you.
|
| ◾ |
To enhance returns and potentially outperform the basket in a moderately bullish scenario.
|
| ◾ |
To achieve similar levels of upside exposure to the basket as a hypothetical direct investment, subject to the maximum payment at maturity, while using fewer dollars by taking advantage of the leverage factor.
|
| ◾ |
To obtain a buffer against a specified percentage of negative performance of the value of the basket.

Leveraged Performance up to a Cap
|
The Buffered 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, within a certain range of positive performance.
|

|
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, subject to the maximum payment at maturity of $1,208.40 per Buffered PLUS (120.84% of the stated principal amount).
|
||
|
Par Scenario
|
If the final basket value is less than or equal to the initial basket value, but not by more than the buffer amount, at maturity you will receive the
stated principal amount.
|
||
|
Downside Scenario
|
If the final basket value is less than the initial basket value by more than the buffer amount, at maturity you will receive less than the stated principal
amount and you will lose 1% for every 1% that the final basket value has fallen below the initial basket value in excess of the buffer amount. For example, if the basket return is -40%, each Buffered PLUS will redeem for $700.00, or 70% of
the stated principal amount. The minimum payment at maturity on the Buffered PLUS is 10% of the stated principal amount and you could lose up to 90% of your investment in the Buffered PLUS.

Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM Principal at Risk Securities
|
| ◾ |
You may lose up to 90% of your investment in the Buffered PLUS. The Buffered PLUS differ from ordinary debt securities in that TD will not necessarily repay the stated principal amount of the
Buffered PLUS at maturity. If the final basket value is less than the initial basket value by more than the buffer amount, you will lose 1% of your principal for every 1% that the final basket value falls below the initial basket value in
excess of the buffer amount. You may lose up to 90% of your investment in the Buffered PLUS.
|
| ◾ |
The stated payout from the issuer applies only at maturity. You should be willing to hold your Buffered PLUS to maturity. The stated payout, including the benefit of the leverage factor, is
available only if you hold your Buffered PLUS to maturity. If you are able to sell your Buffered PLUS prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your investment in the Buffered PLUS even if
the then-current value of the basket is equal to or greater than the initial basket value.
|
| ◾ |
Your potential return on the Buffered PLUS is limited to the maximum gain. The return potential of the Buffered PLUS is limited to the maximum gain. Therefore, you will not benefit from any
positive basket return in excess of an amount that, when multiplied by the leverage factor, exceeds the maximum gain. Your return on the Buffered PLUS may be less than that of a hypothetical direct investment in the basket, basket
components or the basket component constituent stocks.
|
| ◾ |
You will not receive any interest payments. TD will not pay any interest with respect to the Buffered PLUS.
|
| ◾ |
The amount payable on the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS is not the same as owning the basket component constituent stocks. The return on your Buffered PLUS may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned the
basket component constituent stocks. For instance, you will not benefit from any positive basket return in excess of an amount that, when multiplied by the leverage factor, exceeds the maximum gain. Furthermore, you will not receive or be
entitled to receive any dividend payments or other distributions paid on the basket component constituent stocks, and any such dividends or distributions will not be factored into the calculation of the payment at maturity on your Buffered
PLUS. In addition, as an owner of the Buffered 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 level of one basket component may be offset by changes in the level of the other basket component. A change in the level of one basket component
may not correlate with changes in the level of the other basket component. The level of one basket components may increase while the level of the other basket component may not increase as much, or may even decrease. Therefore, in
determining the level of the basket as of any time, increases in the level of one basket component may be moderated, or wholly offset, by lesser increases or decreases in the level of the other basket components. Because the weightings of
the basket components are not equal, the performances of the S&P 500® Index will have a significantly larger impact on your return on the Buffered PLUS than the performance of the Russell 2000® Index.
|
| ◾ |
Correlation (or lack of correlation) of the basket components may adversely affect your return on the Buffered 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,

|
| ◾ |
An investment in the Buffered PLUS involves market risk associated with the basket components. The return on the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 basket return will be positive. 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 some or almost all of your investment in the Buffered PLUS.
|
| ◾ |
Changes affecting a basket component could have an adverse effect on the market value of, and any amount payable on, the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS.
|
| ◾ |
The basket components reflect price return, not total return. The return on the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.
|
| ◾ |
The Buffered PLUS are subject to small-capitalization stock risks. The Buffered PLUS are subject to small-capitalization stock risks because the Russell 2000® Index is comprised of
stocks issued by small-capitalization companies and, therefore, are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than
large-capitalization companies and therefore the Russell 2000® Index may be more volatile than an index of which a greater percentage of its basket component constituent stocks are issued by large-capitalization companies. Stock
prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded. In
addition, small-capitalization companies are typically less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Small-capitalization
companies are often given less analyst coverage and may be in early, and less predictable, periods of their corporate existences. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or
service markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.
|
| ◾ |
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 Buffered PLUS, should conduct your own independent
investigation of each index sponsor and the basket components. The index sponsors are not involved in the Buffered PLUS offered hereby in any way and have no obligation of any sort with respect to your Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS.

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

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

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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS — sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses. There may be little or no secondary market for the Buffered PLUS.
The Buffered PLUS will not be listed or displayed on any Buffered PLUS exchange or electronic communications network. The agent or another one of our affiliates may make a market for the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS in any secondary market could be substantial. If you sell your Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS may not change in the same manner. Your Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS, the market value of your Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS. Although the return on the Buffered PLUS will be
based on the performance of the basket components, the payment of any amount due on the Buffered PLUS is subject to TD’s credit risk. The Buffered PLUS are TD’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to
pay all amounts due on the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS. We, the agent and/or our other affiliates may hedge our
obligations under the Buffered 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

Additional information regarding the
estimated value of the Buffered PLUS:
|
The final terms for the Buffered PLUS were determined on the pricing date, based on prevailing market conditions, and are specified elsewhere in this pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the Buffered PLUS and the estimated cost which we
may incur in hedging our obligations under the Buffered PLUS. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt Buffered PLUS trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal
funding rate for the Buffered PLUS rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt Buffered PLUS trade in the secondary market is expected to have had an adverse effect on the economic terms of the Buffered PLUS.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value for the Buffered PLUS. The estimated value was determined by reference to our internal
pricing models which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates),
price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the Buffered PLUS rather than the levels at which our
benchmark debt Buffered PLUS trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase the estimated value of the Buffered PLUS. For more information see the

discussion under “Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity — The estimated value of your Buffered PLUS is based on our internal funding rate”.
Our estimated value of the Buffered PLUS is not a prediction of the price at which the Buffered PLUS may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the
agent may buy or sell the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS and other costs in connection with the Buffered PLUS which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the basket. If your Buffered PLUS are so treated, you should generally recognize
long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Buffered PLUS for more than one year (and, otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss) upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your Buffered PLUS, in an amount equal to the
difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Buffered PLUS, it is possible that your Buffered 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 Buffered 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.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, TD intends to treat your Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS. According to Notice
2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS.
Non-U.S. Holders. Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, and “FATCA”, each as discussed below, if the
Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS or to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements
with respect to payments on your Buffered 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 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed below, gain realized from the taxable disposition of a Buffered 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 897. We will not attempt to ascertain whether any basket component constituent stock 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 Buffered PLUS should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as
defined in Section 897 of the Code. If any such entity and/or the Buffered PLUS 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
Buffered PLUS upon a taxable disposition of the Buffered PLUS to 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 basket component constituent stock issuer as a USRPHC and/or the Buffered PLUS 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

|
|
$3,589,000 Buffered PLUS Based on the Value of an Unequally Weighted Basket Consisting of Two Indices due April 5, 2028

|
|
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 the nature of the basket components and our determination that the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS, and following such occurrence your Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect
of the underlying index, any index constituent stocks or the Buffered PLUS. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the basket components, any basket component constituent stocks or the Buffered PLUS should
consult your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to your Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered
PLUS through a foreign entity) under the FATCA rules.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. The proceeds received from a taxable disposition of the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual
non-U.S. holder holds the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS at death.
Proposed Legislation. In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of
Buffered PLUS purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the Buffered PLUS despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered
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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD).

Canadian taxation:
|
The following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations
promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Canadian Tax Act”) generally applicable to a holder who is an individual and who acquires beneficial ownership of a Buffered PLUS upon the initial issuance of the Buffered PLUS by TD pursuant to
this offering document or common shares of TD or any of its affiliates on a conversion of a Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS, (ii) is entitled to receive all payments (including any interest, principal and dividends, if applicable) made on the
Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS or property acquired on settlement of a Buffered 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, 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 Buffered PLUS and, except for the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law
or CRA administrative policies or assessing practices, whether by way of legislative,

governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or consider any other federal tax considerations or any provincial, territorial or foreign tax
considerations, which may differ materially from those discussed herein. While this summary assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, no assurance can be given that this will be the case, and no assurance can be
given that judicial, legislative or administrative changes will not modify or change the statements below.
The following is only a general summary of certain Canadian federal non-resident withholding and other tax provisions which may affect a Non-resident Holder
of the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of Buffered
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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS, expressed in terms of an annual rate (determined in accordance with the Canadian Tax Act) on the amount for which the Buffered PLUS was issued, does not exceed 4/3 of
the interest stipulated to be payable on the Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS by the Non-resident Holder.

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 Buffered PLUS, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the Buffered
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 Buffered 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 Buffered PLUS. In addition, we, TDS, another of our affiliates
or third parties may use this pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the Buffered PLUS after their initial sale. If a purchaser buys the Buffered 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.

Validity of the Buffered PLUS:
|
In the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, as special products counsel to TD, when the Buffered PLUS offered by this pricing supplement have been
executed and issued by TD and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture and delivered, paid for and sold as contemplated herein, the Buffered PLUS will be valid and binding obligations of TD, enforceable against TD in
accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and to general principles of
equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves matters governed by
Canadian law, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP has assumed, without independent inquiry or investigation, the validity of the matters opined on by McCarthy Tétrault LLP, Canadian legal counsel for TD, in its opinion
expressed below. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and, with respect to the Buffered PLUS, authentication of the Buffered PLUS and the
genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP filed as Exhibit 5.3 to the registration statement on Form F-3 filed by TD on December 20, 2024.
In the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, the issue and sale of the Buffered PLUS has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of TD, and when this
pricing supplement has been attached to, and duly notated on, the master note that represents the Buffered PLUS, the Buffered PLUS will have been validly executed and issued and, to the extent validity of the Buffered PLUS is a matter
governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, or the laws of Canada applicable therein, will be valid obligations of TD, subject to the following limitations: (i) the enforceability of the indenture is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, winding up, moratorium and other similar laws of general application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) the enforceability of the indenture is subject to general equitable principles,
including the fact that the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctive relief and specific performance, is in the discretion of a court; (iii) courts in Canada are precluded from giving a judgment in any currency other than the
lawful money of Canada; and (iv) the enforceability of the indenture will be subject to the limitations contained in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario), and such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether a court may find any provision of
the indenture to be unenforceable as an attempt to vary or exclude a limitation period under that Act. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada
applicable thereto. In addition, this opinion is subject to: (i) the assumption that the senior indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of, the trustee,
enforceable against the trustee in accordance with its terms; and (ii) customary assumptions about the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated December 20,2024, which has been
filed as Exhibit 5.2 to the registration statement on Form F-3 filed by TD on December 20, 2024.
