Summary
The Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities® Linked to a Basket of Three Financial Sector Stocks, due April 28, 2028 (the “notes”) are our senior
unsecured debt securities. The notes are not guaranteed or insured by the CDIC, the FDIC or any other governmental agency, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. The notes are not bail-inable debt
securities (as defined in the prospectus) under the CDIC Act. The notes will rank equally with all of our other senior unsecured debt. Any payments due on the notes, including any repayment of principal, will
be subject to the credit risk of TD. The notes will be automatically called at the applicable Call Amount if the Observation Level of the Market Measure, which is the basket of three financial sector stocks described below (the
“Basket”), on any Observation Date is equal to or greater than the Call Level. If the notes are not called, at maturity, if the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value, you will lose all or a portion of the principal amount of your
notes. Any payments on the notes will be calculated based on the $10 principal amount per unit and will depend on the performance of the Basket, subject to our credit risk. See “Terms of the Notes” below.
The Basket is comprised of the common stock of each of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley (collectively, the “Basket Stocks”). Each
Basket Stock was given an approximately equal weight on the pricing date as described under “The Basket” herein.
The economic terms of the notes (including the Call Premiums and Call Amounts) are based on our internal funding rate (which is our internal borrowing rate based on variables
such as market benchmarks and our appetite for borrowing) and several factors, including selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be paid in connection with the offering of the notes, the estimated profit that we expect
to earn in connection with structuring the notes, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the notes and the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements as discussed further below and under “Structuring the Notes” on
page TS-17.
On the cover page of this term sheet, we have provided the initial estimated value for the notes. The initial estimated value of your notes on the pricing date is less than
their public offering price. The initial estimated value was determined by reference to our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, typically including expected volatility of the Market Measure, interest rates
(forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the notes and our internal funding rate which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are
not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use
of an internal funding rate for the notes rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to have increased the initial estimated
value of the notes and to have had an adverse effect on the economic terms of the notes. For more information about the initial estimated value and the structuring of the notes, see the related discussion under “Risk Factors” and “Structuring
the Notes” herein.

Examples of Hypothetical Payments
The following examples are for purposes of illustration only. They are based on hypothetical values and show hypothetical
returns on the notes. They illustrate the calculation of the Call Amount or Redemption Amount, as applicable, based on the hypothetical terms set forth below. The actual amount you receive and the resulting
return will depend on the actual Observation Levels, and term of your investment.
The following examples do not take into account any tax consequences from investing in the notes. These examples are based on:
| (1) |
the Starting Value of 100.00;
|
| (2) |
the Threshold Value of 100.00;
|
| (3) |
the Call Level of 100.00;
|
| (4) |
an expected term of the notes of approximately three years, if the notes are not called on either of the first two Observation Dates;
|
| (5) |
a Call Premium of 15.70% of the principal amount if the notes are called on the first Observation Date, 31.40% if called on the second Observation Date and 47.10% if called on the final Observation Date; and
|
| (6) |
Observation Dates occurring approximately one, two and three years after the pricing date.
|
For recent hypothetical values of the Basket, see “The Basket” section below. For recent actual prices of the Basket Stocks, see “The Basket Stocks”
section below. In addition, all payments on the notes are subject to issuer credit risk. If TD, as issuer, becomes unable to meet its obligations as they become due, you could lose some or all of your investment.
Notes Are Called on an Observation Date
The notes will be called at $10.00 plus the applicable Call Premium if the Observation Level on one of the Observation Dates is equal to or greater than the Call Level.
Example 1 - The Observation Level on the first Observation Date is 150.00. Therefore, the notes will be called at $10.00 plus the Call Premium of $1.57 =
$11.57 per unit.
Example 2 - The Observation Level on the first Observation Date is below the Call Level, but the Observation Level on the second Observation Date is
105.00. Therefore, the notes will be called at $10.00 plus the Call Premium of $3.14 = $13.14 per unit.
Example 3 - The Observation Levels on the first two Observation Dates are below the Call Level, but the Observation Level on the third and final
Observation Date is 125.00. Therefore, the notes will be called at $10.00 plus the Call Premium of $4.71 = $14.71 per unit.
Notes Are Not Called on Any Observation Date
Example 4 - The notes are not called on any Observation Date and the Ending Value is less than the Threshold Value. The Redemption Amount will be less,
and possibly significantly less, than the principal amount. For example, if the Ending Value is 85.00, the Redemption Amount per unit will be:

Risk Factors
There are important differences between the notes and a conventional debt security. An investment in the notes involves significant risks, including those listed below. You
should carefully review the more detailed explanation of risks relating to the notes in the “Risk Factors” sections beginning on page PS-7 of product supplement STOCK STR-1 and page 1 of the prospectus. We also urge you to consult your
investment, legal, tax, accounting, and other advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the notes and the suitability of the notes in light of your particular circumstances.
Structure-Related Risks
| ■ |
If the notes are not automatically called, your investment will result in a loss; there is no guaranteed return of principal.
|
| ■ |
Your return on the notes may be less than the yield you could earn by owning a conventional fixed or floating rate debt security of comparable maturity.
|
| ■ |
Your investment return is limited to the return represented by the applicable Call Premium and may be less than a comparable investment directly in the Basket Stocks.
|
Market Measure-Related Risks
| ■ |
No Underlying Company will have any obligations relating to the notes and none of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates will perform any due diligence procedures with respect to any Underlying Company in
connection with this offering.
|
| ■ |
Changes in the prices of one or more of the Basket Stocks may be offset by changes in the prices of one or more of the other Basket Stocks.
|
| ■ |
You will have no rights of a holder of the Basket Stocks and you will not be entitled to receive any shares of the Basket Stocks or dividends or other distributions by any Underlying Company.
|
| ■ |
While we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates may from time to time own shares of the Underlying Companies, none of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates control any Underlying Company, and
have not verified any disclosure made by any Underlying Company.
|
| ■ |
Any Payment on the notes will not be adjusted for all corporate events that could affect a Basket Stock. See “Description of The Notes— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” beginning on page PS-24 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.
|
Valuation and Market-Related Risks
| ■ |
The initial estimated value of your notes on the pricing date is less than their public offering price. The difference between the public offering price of your notes and the initial estimated value of the notes reflects costs and
expected profits associated with selling and structuring the notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the notes (including, but not limited to, the hedging related charge, as further described under “Structuring the Notes” on
page TS-17). Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss and the amount of any such profit
or loss will not be known until the maturity date.
|
| ■ |
The initial estimated value of your notes is based on our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the initial estimated value of the notes generally represents a discount from the credit
spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the notes as
well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in comparison to those costs for our conventional fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions (including,
but not limited to, the hedging related charge, as further described under “Structuring the Notes” on page TS-17), taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our
conventional fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the notes to be more favorable to you. Additionally,
assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the notes is expected to have increased the initial estimated value of the notes and have had an adverse effect on the economic terms of the
notes.
|
| ■ |
The initial estimated value of the notes is based on our internal pricing models, which may prove to be inaccurate and may be different from the pricing models of other financial institutions, including BofAS and MLPF&S. The
initial estimated value of your notes when the terms of the notes were set on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, typically including the expected volatility of the
Market Measure, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the notes and our internal funding rate, and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not
evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models, including those of BofAS and MLPF&S, and the
methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of notes in any secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price
of your notes, if any, may be materially less than the initial estimated value of the notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change and
any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
|
|
Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities®
Linked to a Basket of Three Financial Sector Stocks, due April 28, 2028 |
| ■ |
The initial estimated value of your notes is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your notes in the secondary market, if any exists, and such secondary market prices, if any, will likely be less than the public
offering price of your notes, may be less than the initial estimated value of your notes and could result in a substantial loss to you. The initial estimated value of the notes will not be a prediction of the prices at which
MLPF&S, BofAS, or our or their respective affiliates or third parties may be willing to purchase the notes from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price
at which you may be able to sell your notes in the secondary market at any time, if any, will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and
may be substantially less than the initial estimated value of the notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your notes take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into
account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the notes, secondary market prices of your notes will likely be less than the public offering
price of your notes. As a result, the price at which MLPF&S, BofAS, or our or their respective affiliates or third parties may be willing to purchase the notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less
than the price you paid for your notes, and any sale prior to maturity could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
| ■ |
A trading market is not expected to develop for the notes. None of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their respective affiliates is obligated to make a market for, or to repurchase, the notes. There is no assurance that any party
will be willing to purchase your notes at any price in any secondary market.
|
Conflict-Related Risks
| ■ |
Our business, hedging and trading activities, and those of MLPF&S, BofAS and our and their respective affiliates (including trades in the Basket Stocks), and any hedging and trading activities we, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or
their respective affiliates engage in for our clients’ accounts, may affect the market value of, and return on, the notes and may create conflicts of interest with you.
|
| ■ |
There may be potential conflicts of interest involving the calculation agents, one of which is us and one of which is BofAS, as the determinations made by the calculation agents may be discretionary and could adversely affect any
payment on the notes.
|
General Credit-Related Risks
| ■ |
Payments on the notes are subject to our credit risk, and actual or perceived changes in our creditworthiness are expected to affect the value of the notes. If we become unable to meet our financial obligations as they become due,
you may lose some or all of your investment.
|
Tax-Related Risks
| ■ |
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes are uncertain and, because of this uncertainty, there is a risk that the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the notes could differ materially and adversely from the
treatment described below in “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”, as described further in product supplement STOCK STR-1 under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Alternative Treatments”. You
should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of an investment in the notes and the potential alternative treatments.
|
| ■ |
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the notes, please see the discussion herein under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as
that term is defined below under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences”) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the notes in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the
consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the notes and receiving the payments that might be due under the notes.

Additional Risk Factors
Additional Market Measure-Related Risks
The Basket Stocks are concentrated in one sector. All of the Basket Stocks are issued by companies in the financial sector. Although an investment in
the notes will not give holders any ownership or other direct interests in the Basket Stocks, the return on an investment in the notes will be subject to certain risks associated with a direct equity investment in companies in the financial
services sector. Accordingly, by investing in the notes, you will not benefit from the diversification which could result from an investment linked to companies that operate in multiple sectors.
Adverse conditions in the financial sector may reduce your return on the notes. All of the Basket Stocks are issued by companies whose primary lines
of business are directly associated with the financial services sector. The profitability of these companies is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly, particularly when market
interest rates change. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of these companies’ customers can negatively impact the sector. In addition, adverse international economic, business, or political developments, including with
respect to the insurance sector, or to real estate and loans secured by real estate, could have a major effect on the value of the Basket. As a result of these factors, the value of the notes may be subject to greater volatility and be more
adversely affected by economic, political, or regulatory events relating to the financial services sector.
Economic conditions have adversely impacted the stock prices of many companies in the financial services sector, and may do so during the term of the notes. In the past,
international economic conditions have resulted, and may continue to result, in significant losses among many companies that operate in the financial services sector. These conditions have also resulted, and may continue to result, in a high
degree of volatility in the stock prices of financial institutions, and substantial fluctuations in the profitability of these companies. Numerous financial services companies have experienced substantial decreases in the value of their
assets, taken action to raise capital (including the issuance of debt or equity securities), or even ceased operations. Further, companies in the financial services sector have been subject to unprecedented government actions and regulation,
which may limit the scope of their operations and, in turn, result in a decrease in value of these companies. Any of these factors may have an adverse impact on the performance of the Basket. As a result, the value of the Basket may be
adversely affected by economic, political, or regulatory events affecting the financial services sector or one of the sub-sectors of the financial services sector. This in turn could adversely impact the market value of the notes and decrease
the Redemption Amount.

The Basket
The Basket is designed to allow investors to participate in the percentage changes in the prices of the Basket Stocks from the Starting Value to the Ending Value of the Basket. The Basket
Stocks are described in the section “The Basket Stocks” below. Each Basket Stock was assigned an initial weight on the pricing date, as set forth in the table below.
For more information on the calculation of the value of the Basket, please see the section “Description of the Notes—Basket Market Measures” beginning on page PS-30 of product supplement STOCK

These were the Closing Market Prices of the Basket Stocks on the pricing date.

Each Component Ratio equals the Initial Component Weight of the relevant Basket Stock (as a percentage) multiplied by 100.00, and then divided by the Closing Market Price of that Basket Stock on the pricing date and rounded to
eight decimal places.

The calculation agents will calculate the value of the Basket on each Observation Date by summing the products of (a) the Closing Market Price for each Basket Stock on such day (multiplied by
its Price Multiplier on such day) and (b) the Component Ratio applicable to such Basket Stock. The Price Multiplier for each Basket Stock will initially be 1, and is subject to adjustment as described in
product supplement STOCK STR-1. If (i) a Market Disruption Event occurs as to any Basket Stock on a scheduled Observation Date or (ii) the scheduled Observation Date is determined by the calculation agents not to be a trading day for any
Basket Stock by reason of an extraordinary event, occurrence, declaration or otherwise, the Closing Market Price of that Basket Stock will be determined as more fully described in the section “Description of the Notes— Basket Market
Measures—Observation Level and Ending Value of the Basket” beginning on page PS-31 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.

Supplement to the Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)
Under our distribution agreement, we have appointed TDS, an affiliate of TD, and BofAS as agents for the sale of the notes. TDS will purchase the notes from us, and BofAS will purchase the
notes from TDS, each at the public offering price less the indicated underwriting discount indicated on the cover hereof MLPF&S will purchase the notes from BofAS for resale, and will receive a selling concession in connection with the
sale of the notes in an amount up to the full amount of the underwriting discount indicated on the cover of this term sheet. BofAS and MLPF&S will offer the notes at the public offering price set forth on the cover page hereof. We or one
of our affiliates will also pay a fee to LFT Securities, LLC for providing certain electronic platform services with respect to this offering, which will have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the notes. An affiliate of each of TD
and BofAS has an ownership interest in LFT Securities, LLC. TD will reimburse TDS for certain expenses in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the notes, and TD will pay TDS a fee in connection with its role in the offer and sale
of the notes.
We will deliver the notes against payment therefor in New York, New York on a date that is greater than one business day following the pricing date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes more than one
business day prior to the settlement date will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. In the original offering of the notes, the notes will be sold in minimum investment amounts of 100 units. If you place an order to
purchase the notes, you are consenting to MLPF&S and/or one of its affiliates acting as a principal in effecting the transaction for your account.
MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their affiliates may repurchase and resell the notes, with repurchases and resales being made at prices related to then-prevailing market prices or at negotiated
prices, and these prices will include MLPF&S’ and BofAS’ (or such other entity’s) trading commissions and mark-ups or mark-downs. MLPF&S and BofAS (or such other entity) may act as principal or agent in these market-making
transactions, but is not obligated to engage in any such transactions. At MLPF&S’ and BofAS’ discretion, MLPF&S and BofAS may offer to buy the notes in the secondary market at a price that may exceed TD’s initial estimated value of
the notes for a short, undetermined initial period after the issuance of the notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any price offered by us, MLPF&S, BofAS or our or their affiliates for the notes will be based on then-prevailing market
conditions and other considerations, including the performance of the Basket and the remaining term of the notes. However, none of us, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our or their respective affiliates is obligated to purchase your notes at any
price or at any time, and we cannot assure you that we, MLPF&S, BofAS or any of our or their respective affiliates will purchase your notes at a price that equals or exceeds the initial estimated value of the notes.
BofAS has informed us that, as of the date hereof, it expects that if you hold your notes in a BofAS account, the value of the notes shown on your account statement will be based on BofAS’
estimate of the value of the notes if BofAS or another of its affiliates were to make a market in the notes, which it is not obligated to do. That estimate will be based upon the price that BofAS may pay for the notes in light of
then-prevailing market conditions, and other considerations, as mentioned above, and will include transaction costs. At certain times, this price may be higher than or lower than our initial estimated value of the notes.
TDS is an affiliate of TD and, as such, has a “conflict of interest” in this offering within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. Additionally, TD
will receive the net proceeds from the initial public offering of the notes, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. Consequently, this offering of the notes will be conducted in compliance with
the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121 and TDS is not permitted to sell the notes to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.
The distribution of the Note Prospectus in connection with these offers or sales will be solely for the purpose of providing investors with the description of the terms of the notes that was
made available to investors in connection with their initial offering. Secondary market investors should not, and will not be authorized to, rely on the Note Prospectus for information regarding TD or for any purpose other than that described
in the immediately preceding sentence.

Structuring the Notes
The notes are our senior unsecured debt securities, Series E, the return on which is linked to the performance of the Basket. As is the case for all of our debt securities, including our
market-linked notes, the economic terms of the notes reflect our actual or perceived creditworthiness at the time of pricing. Our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate
debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional fixed-rate debt securities. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for
our conventional fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the notes to be more favorable to you. Therefore, due to these factors, the public offering price you pay to purchase the notes is greater than
the initial estimated value of the notes.
Payment on the notes, including the amount you receive at maturity or upon an automatic call, will be calculated based on the performance of the Basket and the $10 per unit principal amount. In
order to meet these payment obligations, at the time we issue the notes, we may choose to enter into certain hedging arrangements (which may include call options, put options or other derivatives) with BofAS, MLPF&S or one of their
affiliates. The terms of these hedging arrangements are determined by seeking bids from market participants, which may include MLPF&S, BofAS and one or more of our or their affiliates, and take into account a number of factors, including
our creditworthiness, interest rate movements, the volatility of the Basket Stocks, the tenor of the notes and the tenor of the hedging arrangements. The economic terms and initial estimated value of the notes depend, in part, on the terms of
these hedging arrangements.
BofAS has advised us that the hedging arrangements will include a hedging related charge of approximately $0.05 per unit, reflecting an estimated profit to be credited to BofAS from these
transactions. Since hedging entails risk and may be influenced by unpredictable market forces, additional profits and losses from these hedging arrangements may be realized by BofAS or any third party hedge providers.

Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences
The following section supersedes and replaces in its entirety the section of the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences” and the section “Tax Consequences — Canadian
Taxation” in the prospectus.
In the opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, special Canadian tax counsel to TD, the following is, as of the date hereof, a summary of certain Canadian federal income tax considerations
under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “Canadian Tax Act”) and Income Tax Regulations issued thereunder (the “Canadian Tax Regulations”) generally applicable to a holder who acquires beneficial
ownership of a note pursuant to this term sheet, and who, for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act and any applicable income tax convention, 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 TD and any Canadian resident (or deemed Canadian resident) to whom the holder disposes of the note, (ii) is entitled to receive all payments (including any
interest and principal) made on the note as beneficial owner, (iii) is not, and deals at arm’s length with each person who is, a “specified shareholder” of the issuer for purposes of the thin capitalization rules in the Canadian Tax Act, (iv)
is not an entity in respect of which TD is a “specified entity” for purposes of the rules regarding “hybrid mismatch arrangements” (both as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), (v) holds the note as capital property, (vi) does not use or hold
and is not deemed to use or hold the note in or in the course of carrying on a business in Canada and (vii) is not an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere (a “Non-resident Holder”).
This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and the Canadian Tax Regulations in force as of the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act
and the Canadian Tax Regulations publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices
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 notes and, except for
the Tax Proposals, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or CRA administrative policies or assessing practices, whether by way of legislative, governmental or judicial decision or action, nor does it take into account or
consider any other federal tax considerations or any provincial, territorial or non-Canadian 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.
This summary assumes that no amount paid or payable to a holder described herein 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.
The following is only a general summary of certain Canadian non-resident withholding and other tax provisions which may affect a Non-resident Holder of the notes described in
this term sheet. This summary is not, and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Non-resident Holder and no representation with respect to the income tax consequences to any particular
Non-resident Holder is made. Persons considering investing in notes should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of notes having regard to their own particular circumstances.
Based in part on the published administrative position of the CRA, any amount in excess of the principal amount of a note paid or credited or deemed for purposes of the Canadian Tax Act to be
paid or credited to a Non-resident Holder on the note should not be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding tax. Should payments with respect to the notes become subject to such withholding tax, TD will withhold tax at the applicable
statutory rate and will not make payments of any additional amounts.
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 a note.

Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the notes are uncertain. No statutory, regulatory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how
the notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” beginning on
page PS-36 of product supplement STOCK STR-1 and to discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final,
temporary and proposed U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect.
Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not addressed herein. No ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the notes, and
the following discussion is not binding on the IRS. Except as discussed under the heading “Non-U.S. Holders”, this discussion is applicable only to a U.S. holder that acquires notes upon initial issuance and holds its notes as a capital asset
for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the notes, TD and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative
determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize your notes as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Market Measure. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential
impact, of the above characterization. If your notes are so treated, upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of a note, you generally should recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount
realized on such taxable disposition and your tax basis in the note. Your tax basis in a note generally should equal your cost for the note. Such gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your notes for
more than one year (otherwise such gain or loss should be short-term capital gain or loss if held for one year or less). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
However, it is possible that the IRS could assert that your holding period in respect of your notes should end on the date on which the amount you are entitled to receive upon maturity or
automatic call of your notes is determined, even though you will not receive any amounts from TD in respect of your notes prior to the maturity or automatic call of your notes. In such case, you may be treated as having a holding period in
respect of your notes prior to the maturity or automatic call of your notes, and such holding period may be treated as less than one year even if you receive cash upon the maturity or automatic call of your notes at a time that is more than
one year after the beginning of your holding period.
Although uncertain, it is possible that the Call Premium, or proceeds received from the taxable disposition of your notes prior to the Call Settlement Date that could be attributed to the
expected Call Premium, could be treated as ordinary income. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this risk.
Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be
reasonable to treat your notes in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the notes, it is possible that your notes could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as
a single contingent payment debt instrument or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the notes could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described
further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Alternative Treatments” on page PS-38 of product supplement STOCK STR-1.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, TD intends to treat your notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and under “Material U.S.
Federal Income Tax Consequences” of the product supplement STOCK STR-1, 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 notes. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the
Treasury are actively considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the notes should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is
possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of the notes will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. The IRS and the Treasury are also considering other relevant issues,
including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether non-U.S. holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, and whether the special
“constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Code should be applied to such instruments. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above
considerations on their investments in the notes.
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income. U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or certain trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a
portion of their “net investment income,” or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust, which may include any income or gain realized with respect to the notes, to the extent of their net investment income or
undistributed net investment income (as the case may be) that, when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving
spouse), $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return or the dollar amount at which the highest tax bracket begins for an estate or trust. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the regular income tax.
U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.

Specified Foreign Financial Assets. Certain U.S. holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of an
applicable threshold may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to such assets with their tax returns, especially if such assets are held outside the custody of a U.S. financial institution. Significant penalties can apply if a U.S.
holder is required to disclose its notes and fails to do so.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. The proceeds received from a taxable disposition of the notes will be subject to information reporting
unless you are an “exempt recipient” and may also be subject to backup withholding at the rate specified in the Code if you fail to provide certain identifying information (such as an accurate taxpayer number, if you are a U.S. holder) or
meet certain other conditions.
Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is
furnished to the IRS.
Non-U.S. Holders. If you are a non-U.S. holder, subject to Section 871(m) of the Code and FATCA, discussed below, you should generally not be subject to
generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on your notes if you comply with certain certification and identification requirements as to your non-U.S. status, including providing us
(and/or the applicable withholding agent) a properly executed and fully completed applicable IRS Form W-8. Subject to Section 897 of the Code, and Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed herein, gain realized from the taxable disposition of a
note generally will not be subject to U.S. tax unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by you in the U.S., (ii) you are a non-resident alien individual and are present in the U.S. for 183 days or more
during the taxable year of such taxable disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied or (iii) you have certain other present or former connections with the U.S.
Section 897. We will not attempt to ascertain whether the issuer of any Basket Stock would be treated as a “United States real property holding
corporation” (a “USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code. We also have not attempted to determine whether the notes should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as defined in Section 897 of the Code.
If any such entity were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences might apply, to a U.S. holder in the case of a PFIC and to a non-U.S. holder in the case of a USRPHC, upon the taxable disposition of a note. Non-U.S.
holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential treatment of any such entity as a USRPHC and/or the notes as USRPI.
Section 871(m). A 30% withholding tax (which may be reduced by an applicable income tax treaty) is imposed under Section 871(m) of the Code on certain
“dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that references one or more dividend-paying U.S. equity securities or indices containing U.S. equity securities. The
withholding tax can apply even if the instrument does not provide for payments that reference dividends. Treasury regulations provide that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked
instruments that have a delta of one (“delta-one specified equity-linked instruments”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all other specified equity-linked instruments issued after 2017. However, the IRS
has issued guidance that states that the Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the effective dates of the Treasury regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid will not apply to specified equity-linked
instruments that are not delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and are issued before January 1, 2027.
Based on our determination that the notes are not “delta-one” with respect to the Market Measure or any stock included in the Market Measure, our special U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that
the notes should not be delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and thus should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination.
Furthermore, the application of Section 871(m) of the Code will depend on our determinations made when the terms of the notes are set. If withholding is required, we will not make payments of any additional amounts.
Nevertheless, after the date the terms are set, it is possible that your notes could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Market
Measure, any stock included in the Market Measure or your notes, and following such occurrence your notes could be treated as delta-one specified equity-linked instruments that are subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. It is also
possible that withholding tax or other tax under Section 871(m) of the Code could apply to the notes under these rules if a non-U.S. holder enters, or has entered, into certain other transactions in respect of the Market Measure, or any stock
included in the Market Measure or the notes. A non-U.S. holder that enters, or has entered, into other transactions in respect of the Market Measure or any stock included in the Market Measure or the notes should consult its tax advisor
regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to its notes in the context of its other transactions.
Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the notes, you are urged to consult your tax
advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an investment in the notes.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders. A note may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual non-U.S. holder holds the note
at the time of his or her death. The gross estate of a non-U.S. holder domiciled outside the U.S. includes only property situated in the U.S. Individual non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax
consequences of holding the notes at death.

FATCA. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) was enacted on March 18, 2010, and imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on “withholdable payments” (i.e., certain
U.S.-source payments, including interest (and original issue discount), dividends or other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits, and income, and on the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a type which can
produce U.S.-source interest or dividends) and “passthru payments” (i.e., certain payments attributable to withholdable payments) made to certain foreign financial institutions (and certain of their affiliates) unless the payee foreign
financial institution agrees (or is required), among other things, to disclose the identity of any U.S. individual with an account at the institution (or the relevant affiliate) and to annually report certain information about such account.
FATCA also requires withholding agents making withholdable payments to certain foreign entities that do not disclose the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of any substantial U.S. owners (or do not certify that they do not have
any substantial U.S. owners) to withhold tax at a rate of 30%. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.
Pursuant to final and temporary Treasury regulations and other IRS guidance, the withholding and reporting requirements under FATCA will generally apply to certain “withholdable payments”, will
not apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition and will apply to certain foreign passthru payments only to the extent that such payments are made after the date that is two years after final regulations defining the term “foreign
passthru payment” are published. If withholding is required, we (or the applicable paying agent) will not be required to pay additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign
entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.
Investors should consult their own advisors about the application of FATCA, in particular if they may be classified as financial institutions (or if they hold their notes
through a foreign entity) under the FATCA rules.
Proposed Legislation. In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of notes purchased after
the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the notes despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the notes.
Furthermore, in 2013 the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments. If it had been enacted, the effect of this
legislation generally would have been to require instruments such as the notes to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions.
It is impossible to predict what any such legislation or administrative or regulatory guidance might provide, and whether the effective date of any legislation or guidance will affect
securities that were issued before the date that such legislation or guidance is issued. You are urged to consult your tax advisor as to the possibility that any legislative or administrative action may adversely affect the tax treatment of
your notes.
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).

In the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, the issue and sale of the notes has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of TD, and when this term sheet has been attached

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
