Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation
to a Cap and Fixed Percentage Buffered Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due October 5, 2027
■        Linked to the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”)
■        Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the Index from its starting level to its ending level. The maturity payment amount will reflect the following terms:
■             If the level of the Index increases, you will receive the face amount plus a positive return equal to 200% of the percentage increase in the level of the Index from the starting level, subject to a maximum return at maturity of at least 17.30% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount. As a result of the maximum return, the maximum maturity payment amount will be at least $1,173.00
■             If the level of the Index decreases but the decrease is not more than the buffer amount of 10%, you will receive the face amount
■          If the level of the Index decreases by more than the buffer amount of 10%, you will receive less than the face amount and have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index in excess of the buffer amount
■        Investors may lose up to 90% of the face amount
■        All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Bank”)
■        No periodic interest payments or dividends
■        No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity
The estimated value of the securities at the time the terms of your securities are set on the pricing date is expected to be between $946.10 and $976.10 per security, as discussed further under “Selected Risk Considerations— Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market” beginning on page P-8 and “Estimated Value of the Securities” herein. The estimated value is expected to be less than the original offering price of the securities.
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page P-8 herein and “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-5 of the accompanying product supplement and on page 1 of the accompanying prospectus.
The securities are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Bank, and, accordingly, all payments are subject to credit risk. The securities are not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation pursuant to the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (the “CDIC Act”) or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction.
Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this pricing supplement or the accompanying product supplement, underlier supplement and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Such securities dealers may include Wells Fargo Advisors (“WFA”, the trade name of the retail brokerage business of Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, LLC), an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo Securities”). The other dealers may forgo, in their sole discretion, some or all of their selling concessions. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities will pay $0.75 (0.075%) per security of the agent discount to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA. The Bank will reimburse TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TDS”) for certain expenses in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the securities, and the Bank will pay TDS a fee in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the securities.

Calculation Agent:
The Bank
U.S. Tax Treatment:
 
By purchasing the securities, you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the securities, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as prepaid derivative contracts that are “open transactions” with respect to the Index. 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 the securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities 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 securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product supplement.
Canadian Tax
Treatment:
Please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences – Canadian Taxation” and in the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences”, which applies to the securities. We will not pay any additional amounts as a result of any withholding required by reason of the rules governing hybrid mismatch arrangements contained in section 18.4 of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined in the prospectus).
Agents:
TD Securities (USA) LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.
The Agents may receive a commission of up to $15.75 (1.575%) per security and may use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers in connection with the distribution of the securities, or will offer the securities directly to investors. The Agents may resell the securities to other securities dealers at the original offering price less a concession not in excess of $10.00 (1.00%) per security. Such securities dealers may include WFA. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities will pay $0.75 (0.075%) per security of the agent discount to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA.
In addition, in respect of certain securities sold in this offering, we may pay a fee of up to $2.00 per security to selected securities dealers in consideration for marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other securities dealers. We or one of our affiliates will also pay a fee to iCapital Markets LLC, who is acting as a dealer in connection with the distribution of the securities.
The price at which you purchase the securities includes costs that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to incur and profits that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the securities, as set forth above. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for the securities. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your securities on the pricing date. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices” in this pricing supplement.

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed
Percentage Buffered Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due October 5, 2027
Estimated Value of the Securities
The final terms for the securities will be determined on the date the securities are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, as indicated under “Terms of the Securities” herein, based on prevailing market conditions on the pricing date, and will be communicated to investors in the final pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the securities 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 securities, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the securities and an estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay to an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities and the amounts that an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities pays to us in connection with hedging your securities as described further under “Terms of the Securities—Agents” herein and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating To Hedging Activities And Conflicts Of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement. 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 securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the securities.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the securities. The estimated value range was determined by reference to our internal pricing models which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the securities and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market” herein. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase the estimated value of the securities. For more information see the discussion under “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.”
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agents may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agents or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the securities 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 Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately three months after the issue date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the securities. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the securities. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the issue date of the securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement.

Percentage Buffered Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due October 5, 2027
Investor Considerations
The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:
■
seek 200% leveraged exposure to the upside performance of the Index if the ending level is greater than the starting level, subject to the maximum return at maturity of at least 17.30% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount;
■
desire to limit downside exposure to the Index through the buffer amount;
■
are willing to accept the risk that, if the ending level is less than the starting level by more than the buffer amount, they will lose some, and possibly up to 90%, of the face amount;
■
understand and are willing to accept the downside risks of the Index;
■
are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the securities included in the Index; and
■
are willing to hold the securities until maturity.
The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:
■
seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;
■
are unwilling to accept the risk that the ending level of the Index may decrease from the starting level by more than the buffer amount;
■
seek uncapped exposure to the upside performance of the Index;
■
seek full return of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;
■
are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page;
■
seek current income;
■
are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Index;
■
seek exposure to the Index but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the maturity payment amount for the securities;
■
are unwilling to accept the credit risk of the Bank; or
■
prefer the lower risk of conventional fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the “Selected Risk Considerations” herein and the “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Index, please see the section titled “Information Regarding The Index” below.

Selected Risk Considerations
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.
Risks Relating To The Securities Generally
If The Ending Level Is Less Than The Threshold Level, You Will Lose Some, And Possibly Up To 90%, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.
We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the stated maturity date. The maturity payment amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the ending level of the Index relative to the starting level and the other terms of the securities. Because the level of the Index will be subject to market fluctuations, the maturity payment amount may be more or less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount of your securities.
If the ending level is less than the threshold level, the maturity payment amount will be less than the face amount and you will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index in excess of the buffer amount, resulting in a loss of 1% of the face amount for every 1% decline in the Index in excess of the buffer amount. The threshold level is 90% of the starting level. As a result, if the ending level is less than the threshold level, you will lose some, and possibly up to 90%, of the face amount per security at maturity. This is the case even if the level of the Index is greater than or equal to the starting level or the threshold level at certain times during the term of the securities.
Even if the ending level is greater than the starting level, the maturity payment amount may only be slightly greater than the face amount, and your yield on the securities may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of the Bank or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same stated maturity date.
No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.
No periodic payments of interest will be made on the securities.  However, if the agreed-upon tax treatment is successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), you may be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the securities.  You should review the section of this pricing supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”.
Your Return Will Be Limited To The Maximum Return And May Be Lower Than The Return On A Direct Investment In The Index.
The opportunity to participate in the possible increases in the level of the Index through an investment in the securities will be limited because any positive return on the securities will not exceed the maximum return. Therefore, your return on the securities may be lower than the return on a direct investment in the Index. Furthermore, the effect of the upside participation rate will be progressively reduced for all ending levels exceeding the ending level at which the maximum return is reached.
Risks Relating To An Investment In the Bank’s Debt Securities, Including The Securities
Investors Are Subject To The Bank’s Credit Risk, And The Bank’s Credit Ratings And Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of The Securities.
Although the return on the securities will be based on the performance of the Index, the payment of any amount due on the securities is subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The securities are the Bank’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities on the stated maturity date and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of the Bank and to changes in the market’s view of the Bank’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in the Bank’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking the Bank’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities. If the Bank becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.
Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Expected To Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is expected to be less than the original offering price of your securities. The difference between the original offering price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities. 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.

P-8
Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed
Percentage Buffered Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due October 5, 2027
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is determined by reference to our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities 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 securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities is expected to increase the estimated value of the securities at any time.
The Estimated Value Of The Securities 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 securities on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, 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 securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of the securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your securities may be materially less than the estimated value of the securities 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 Securities Is Not A Prediction Of The Prices At Which You May Sell Your Securities In The Secondary Market, If Any, And Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities And May Be Less Than The Estimated Value Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of the securities is not a prediction of the prices at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities 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 securities in the secondary market at any time, if any, may be based on pricing models that differ from our pricing models and 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 our estimated value of the securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities 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 securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of your securities will likely be less than the original offering price of your securities. As a result, the price at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the stated maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.
The Temporary Price At Which We May Initially Buy The Securities In The Secondary Market May Not Be Indicative Of Future Prices Of Your Securities.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if the Agents make a market in the securities, which they are not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the pricing date of the securities, as discussed further under “Estimated Value of the Securities”. The price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your securities.
The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.
Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the securities will likely be less than the original offering price. The original offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, the agent discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. 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. In addition, because an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities is to conduct hedging activities for us in connection with the securities, that affiliate may profit in connection with such hedging activities and such profit, if any, will be in addition to the compensation that the dealer receives for the sale of the securities to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn fees in connection with hedging activities may create a further incentive for the dealer to sell the securities to you in addition to the compensation they would receive for the sale of the securities.

Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed
Percentage Buffered Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due October 5, 2027
There May Not Be An Active Trading Market For The Securities — Sales In The Secondary Market May Result In Significant Losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any electronic communications network. The Agents and their respective affiliates may make a market for the securities; however, they are not required to do so. The Agents and their respective affiliates may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the securities 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 securities in any secondary market could be substantial.
If you sell your securities before the stated maturity date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the principal amount irrespective of the level of the Index, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
If The Level Of The Index Changes, The Market Value Of Your Securities May Not Change In The Same Manner.
Your securities may trade quite differently from the performance of the Index. Changes in the level of the Index may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your securities. Even if the level of the Index increases above the starting level during the term of the securities, the market value of your securities may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
Risks Relating To The Index
The Index Reflects Price Return Only And Not Total Return.
The return on your securities is based on the performance of the Index, which reflects the changes in the market prices of the index 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 dividends paid on the index constituent stocks. The return on your securities will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.
The Maturity Payment Amount Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Index And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.

 ●
Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Index. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the Index. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the securities included in the Index for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on those securities. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the securities included in the Index would have.

●
Historical Values Of A Market Measure Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of Such Market Measure During The Term Of The Securities.

●
Changes That Affect An Index May Adversely Affect The Value Of The Securities And Any Maturity Payment Amount.

●
We Cannot Control Actions By Any Of The Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included In Any Index.

●
We And Our Affiliates And The Agents And Their Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Index Sponsor (Except To The Extent Wells Fargo & Company (The Parent Company Of Wells Fargo Securities) Is Included In The S&P 500® Index) And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.
Risks Relating To Hedging Activities And Conflicts Of Interest

 ●
Trading And Business Activities By The Bank Or Its Affiliates May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of, And Any Amount Payable On, The Securities.

The index return is equal to the percentage change from the starting level to the ending level (i.e., the ending level minus starting level, divided by starting level).
(2)
The hypothetical pre-tax total rate of return is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the maturity payment amount per security to the face amount of $1,000.

Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due October 5, 2027
Hypothetical Examples
Example 1. Maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return that is less than the maximum return:
 
S&P 500® Index
Hypothetical starting level:
100.00
Hypothetical ending level:
105.00
Hypothetical threshold level:
90.00
Hypothetical index return
(ending level – starting level)/starting level:
5.00%
Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the hypothetical starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the lesser of:
(i)      $1,000 × index return × upside participation rate
$1,000 × 5.00% × 200.00%
= $100.00; and
(ii)      the maximum return of $173.00
On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,100.00 per security.
Example 2. Maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return equal to the maximum return:
 
S&P 500® Index
Hypothetical starting level:
100.00
Hypothetical ending level:
150.00
Hypothetical threshold level:
90.00
Hypothetical index return
(ending level – starting level)/starting level:
50.00%
Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than the hypothetical starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the lesser of:
(i)      $1,000 × index return × upside participation rate
$1,000 × 50.00% × 200.00%
= $2,000.00; and
(ii)      the maximum return of $173.00
On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,173.00 per security, which is the maximum maturity payment amount.
In addition to limiting your return on the securities, the maximum return limits the positive effect of the upside participation rate. If the ending level is greater than the starting level, you will participate in the performance of the Index at a rate of 200% up to a certain point. However, the effect of the upside participation rate will be progressively reduced for ending levels that are greater than 108.65% of the starting level (assuming a maximum return of 17.30% or $173.00 per security, the lowest possible maximum return that may be determined on the pricing date) since your return on the securities for any ending level greater than 108.65% of the starting level will be limited to the maximum return.

Example 3. Maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount:
 
S&P 500® Index
Hypothetical starting level:
100.00
Hypothetical ending level:
95.00
Hypothetical threshold level:
90.00
Hypothetical index return
(ending level – starting level)/starting level:
-5.00%
Because the hypothetical ending level is less than the hypothetical starting level, but not by more than the buffer amount, you would not lose any of the face amount of your securities.
On the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000.00 per security.
Example 4. Maturity payment amount is less than the face amount:
 
S&P 500® Index
Hypothetical starting level:
100.00
Hypothetical ending level:
50.00
Hypothetical threshold level:
90.00
Hypothetical index return
(ending level – starting level)/starting level:
-50.00%
Because the hypothetical ending level is less than the hypothetical starting level by more than 10%, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to:
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (index return + buffer amount)]
$1,000 + [$1,000 × (-50.00% + 10.00%)]
= $1,000 + [$1,000 × -40.00%]
= $600.00
On the stated maturity date you would receive $600.00 per security.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
You should carefully review the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.
Due to the absence of 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 securities, no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a court will agree with the tax treatment described herein. Pursuant to the terms of the securities, the Bank and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize the securities as prepaid derivative contracts that are “open transactions” with respect to the Index. If the securities are so treated, upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your securities, you generally should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such taxable disposition and your tax basis in the securities. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year (otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss).
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 securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities 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 securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – Alternative Treatments” in the product supplement.
The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”, such as the securities, and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.
Non-U.S. Holders. Subject to Section 871(m) of the Code and Section 897 of the Code (as discussed below) and FATCA (as discussed in the accompanying product supplement), a non-U.S. holder should generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments on the securities or to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on the securities if the non-U.S. holder complies with certain certification and identification requirements as to their non-U.S. status including providing us (and/or the applicable withholding agent) a properly executed and fully completed applicable IRS Form W-8. Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, discussed below, gain realized from the taxable disposition of a security generally should not be subject to U.S. tax unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the U.S., (ii) the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual and is 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) the non-U.S. holder has certain other present or former connections with the U.S.
Section 897. We will not attempt to ascertain whether the issuer of any index constituent stock 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 securities should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as defined in Section 897 of the Code. If any such entity and the securities 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 security upon a taxable disposition of the security to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis, and the gross proceeds from such a taxable disposition to a 15% withholding tax. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential treatment of any such entity as a USRPHC and the securities 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 the nature of the Index and our determination that the securities are not “delta-one” with respect to the Index, our special U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the securities 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. It is also possible that withholding tax or other tax under Section 871(m) of the Code could apply to the securities under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into certain other transactions in respect of the Index or the securities. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the Index or the securities, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of

P-17
Market Linked Securities—Leveraged Upside Participation to a Cap and Fixed
Percentage Buffered Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the S&P 500® Index due October 5, 2027
Section 871(m) of the Code to your securities in the context of your other transactions. Furthermore, the application of Section 871(m) of the Code will depend on our determinations on the date the terms of the securities are set. If withholding is required, we will not make payments of any additional amounts.
Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the securities, 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 securities.
