TD (TD) offers autocallable notes: AMD & CRWD links, high contingent coupons
The Toronto-Dominion Bank is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. and CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.. The Notes are senior, unsecured debt with a principal amount of $10 per Note and a term of approximately 18 months, maturing on September 30, 2027.
The Notes pay a contingent coupon only if the underlying closing level on an observation date is at or above a coupon barrier. Contingent coupon rates are 19.92% per annum for the AMD-linked Note and 19.58% per annum for the CRWD-linked Note. Each Note is subject to an automatic call if an observation-date closing level is at or above the call threshold (equal to 100% of the initial level). If not called, principal is repaid at maturity only if the final level is at or above the downside threshold; otherwise repayment is reduced proportionally and an investor can lose a substantial portion or all of principal.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- None.
Insights
High-yield contingent coupons come with full downside exposure to the underlying equities and issuer credit risk.
The Notes offer ~19.9% and ~19.6% per annum contingent coupon rates with monthly observation dates and an approximate 18-month term. The call threshold equals the initial level (100%), while downside thresholds are 50% for AMD and 60% for CRWD, exposing holders to direct market losses if final levels fall below those marks.
Cash-flow depends on both equity performance and TD's creditworthiness; estimated trade-date values are $9.45–$9.80 per Note versus an issue price of $10. Secondary market liquidity and pricing are model-dependent and may trade at substantial discounts.
Tax treatment is uncertain and differs for U.S. and non-U.S. holders; specialist advice is recommended.
The issuer and counsel propose treating the Notes as prepaid derivative contracts for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with contingent coupons taxed as ordinary income. The document warns the characterization is uncertain and the IRS guidance (including Notice 2008-2 and Section 871(m)) could alter timing or withholding treatment.
The pricing supplement also summarizes complex Canadian non-resident withholding rules and FATCA implications. Holders should consult tax advisors tailored to their residency and circumstances.

Investment Description
|
|
Features
|
|
❑
|
Potential for Periodic Contingent Coupons — TD will pay a contingent coupon on the related coupon payment date if the closing level of the
underlying asset is equal to or greater than the coupon barrier on an observation date (including the final valuation date). If, however, the closing level of the underlying asset is less than the coupon barrier on an observation date,
no contingent coupon will be paid for the related coupon payment date.
|
|
❑
|
Automatic Call Feature — TD will automatically call the Notes and pay you the principal amount of your Notes plus the contingent coupon otherwise
due on the related coupon payment date if the closing level of the underlying asset is equal to or greater than the call threshold level on any observation date prior to the final valuation date. If the Notes were previously subject to
an automatic call, no further payments will be owed to you under the Notes.
|
|
❑
|
Contingent Repayment of Principal Amount at Maturity with Potential for Full Downside Market Exposure — If the Notes are not subject to an automatic
call and the final level is equal to or greater than the downside threshold, at maturity, TD will pay you a cash payment per Note equal to the principal amount. If, however, the Notes are not subject to an automatic call and the final
level is less than the downside threshold, at maturity, TD will pay you a cash payment per Note that is less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss on your initial investment equal to the underlying
return and, in extreme situations, you could lose all of your initial investment. The contingent repayment of principal applies only if you hold the Notes to maturity. Any payment on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is
subject to the creditworthiness of TD.

We expect to deliver the Notes against payment on the third business day following the trade date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in one business day (T+1), unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the
Notes in the secondary market on any date prior to one business day before delivery of the Notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that each Note initially will settle in three business days (T+3), to specify alternative
settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement of the secondary market trade.

If the closing level of the underlying asset is equal to or greater than the coupon barrier on any observation date (including the final
valuation date), TD will pay you the contingent coupon applicable to that observation date on the relevant coupon payment date.
If the closing level of the underlying asset is less than the coupon barrier on any observation date (including the final valuation date),
the contingent coupon applicable to that observation date will not accrue or be payable and TD will not make any payment to you on the relevant coupon payment date.
The contingent coupon is a fixed amount based upon equal periodic installments at a per annum rate (the “contingent coupon rate”). The table below sets forth the
contingent coupon rate and contingent coupon for each Note that would be applicable to each observation date on which the above conditions are satisfied.

|

Subject to the market disruption event provisions set forth in the accompanying product supplement.
|
| (2) |
Two business day(s) following each observation date, except that the coupon payment date for the final valuation date is the maturity date. If you are able to sell the Notes in the secondary market on an
observation date, the purchaser of the Notes will be deemed to be the record holder on the applicable record date and therefore you will not be entitled to any payment attributable to that observation date.
|
|
Key Risks
|
| ♦ |
Risk of loss at maturity — The Notes differ from ordinary debt securities in that TD will not necessarily make periodic coupon payments or repay the full principal
amount of the Notes at maturity. If the Notes are not subject to an automatic call and the final level is less than the downside threshold, you will lose a percentage of your principal amount equal to the underlying return and in
extreme situations, you could lose all of your initial investment.
|
| ♦ |
The stated payout from the issuer applies only if you hold your Notes to maturity — You should be willing to hold your Notes to maturity. If you are able to sell your
Notes prior to an automatic call or maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a loss relative to your initial investment even if the level of the underlying asset at such time is equal to or greater than the
downside threshold. All payments on the Notes are subject to the creditworthiness of TD.
|
| ♦ |
You may not receive any contingent coupons with respect to your Notes — TD will not necessarily make periodic coupon payments on the Notes. If the closing level of the
underlying asset is less than the coupon barrier on an observation date, TD will not pay you the contingent coupon applicable to such observation date. If the closing level of the underlying asset is less than the coupon barrier on each
observation date, TD will not pay you any contingent coupons during the term of, and you will not receive a positive return on, your Notes. Generally, this non-payment of the contingent coupon coincides with a period of greater risk of
principal loss on your Notes.
|
| ♦ |
Your potential return on the Notes is limited to any contingent coupons, you will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying asset and you will not receive dividend
payments on the underlying asset or have the same rights as holders of the underlying asset — The return potential of the Notes is limited to the pre-specified contingent coupon rate, regardless of the appreciation of the
underlying asset. In addition, your return on the Notes will vary based on the number of observation dates, if any, on which the requirements of the contingent coupon have been met prior to maturity or an automatic call. Because the
Notes may be subject to an automatic call as early as the first potential call settlement date, the total return on the Notes could be less than if the Notes remained outstanding until maturity. Further, if the Notes are subject to an
automatic call, you will not receive any contingent coupons or any other payment in respect of any coupon payment date after the call settlement date, and your return on the Notes could be less than if the Notes remained outstanding
until maturity. As a result, the return on an investment in the Notes could be less than the return on a hypothetical investment in the underlying asset. In addition, as an owner of the Notes, you will not receive or be entitled to
receive any dividend payments or other distributions on the underlying asset during the term of the Notes, and any such dividends or distributions will not be factored into the calculation of any payments on your Notes. Similarly, you
will not have voting rights or any other rights of a holder of the underlying asset.
|
| ♦ |
A higher contingent coupon rate or lower downside threshold or coupon barrier may reflect greater expected volatility of the underlying asset, and greater expected volatility
generally indicates an increased risk of loss at maturity — The economic terms for the Notes, including the contingent coupon rate, coupon barrier and downside threshold, are based, in part, on the expected volatility of the
underlying asset at the time the terms of the Notes are set. “Volatility” refers to the frequency and magnitude of changes in the level of the underlying asset. The greater the expected volatility of the underlying asset as of the
strike date, the greater the expectation is as of that date that the closing level of the underlying asset could be less than the coupon barrier on the observation dates and that the final level could be less than the downside threshold
and, as a consequence, indicates an increased risk of not receiving a contingent coupon and an increased risk of loss, respectively. All things being equal, this greater expected volatility will generally be reflected in a higher
contingent coupon rate than the yield payable on our conventional debt securities with a similar maturity or on otherwise comparable securities, and/or a lower downside threshold and/or coupon barrier than those terms on otherwise
comparable securities. Therefore, a relatively higher contingent coupon rate may indicate an increased risk of loss. Further, a relatively lower downside threshold and/or coupon barrier may not necessarily indicate that the Notes have a
greater likelihood of a return of principal at maturity and/or paying contingent coupons. You should be willing to accept the downside market risk of the underlying asset and the potential to lose a significant portion or all of your
initial investment.
|
| ♦ |
Reinvestment risk — The Notes will be subject to an automatic call if the closing level of the underlying asset is equal to or greater than the call threshold level on
certain observation dates prior to the final valuation date, as set forth under “Observation Dates and Coupon Payment Dates“ herein. Because the Notes could be subject to an automatic call as early as the first potential call settlement
date, the term of your investment may be limited. In the event that the Notes are subject to an automatic call, there is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds at a comparable rate of return and/or with a
comparable contingent coupon rate for a similar level of risk. In addition, to the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment comparable to the Notes, you may incur transaction costs such as dealer discounts and
hedging costs built into the price of the new securities. Generally, however, the longer the Notes remain outstanding, the less likely it is that the Notes will be subject to an automatic call due to the decline in the level of the
underlying asset and the shorter time remaining for the level of the underlying asset to recover. Such periods generally coincide with a period of greater risk of principal loss on your Notes.
|
| ♦ |
Single equity risk — The return on the Notes, which may be negative, is directly linked to the performance of the underlying asset. The level of the underlying asset
can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the underlying asset and its issuer (the “underlying asset issuer”), such as stock or commodity price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory
developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock and commodity market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic, political and other conditions. You, as
an investor in the Notes, should conduct your own investigation into the underlying asset issuer and the underlying asset for your Notes. For additional information regarding the underlying asset and the underlying asset issuer, please
see “Information About the Underlying Asset” herein and the underlying asset issuer's SEC filings referred to in that section. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by
the underlying asset issuer with the SEC.
|
| ♦ |
There can be no assurance that the investment view implicit in the Notes will be successful — It is impossible to predict whether and the extent to which the level of
the underlying asset will rise or fall. There can be no assurance that the closing level of the underlying asset will be equal to or greater than the coupon barrier on each observation date or, if the Notes are not subject to an
automatic call, that the final level will be equal to or greater than the downside threshold. The level of the underlying asset will be influenced by complex and interrelated political, economic, financial and other factors that affect
the underlying asset issuer. You should be willing to accept the downside risks of owning equities in general and the underlying asset in particular, and the risk of losing a significant portion or all of your initial investment.
|
| ♦ |
There is no affiliation between the underlying asset issuer and us or the agents — TD, the agents and our or their respective affiliates are not affiliated with the
underlying asset issuer and may currently, or from time to time in the future engage in business with the underlying asset issuer. However, TD, the agents and our or their respective affiliates are not affiliated with the underlying
asset issuer and are not responsible for such underlying asset issuer’s public disclosure of information, whether contained in SEC filings or otherwise. You, as an investor in the Notes, should conduct your own investigation into the
underlying asset and the underlying asset issuer. The underlying asset issuer is not involved in the Notes offered hereby in any way and has no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including when taking
any corporate actions that might affect the market value of, and return on, your Notes.
|
| ♦ |
The estimated value of your Notes is expected to be less than the issue price of your Notes — The estimated value of your Notes on the trade date is expected to be less
than the issue price of your Notes. The difference between the issue price of your Notes and the estimated value of the Notes reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the Notes, as well as hedging our
obligations under the Notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss.
|
| ♦ |
The estimated value of your Notes is based on our internal funding rate — The estimated value of your Notes on the trade date is determined by reference to our internal
funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Notes generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we
would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the Notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of
the Notes in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the
credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the Notes to be more favorable
to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes is expected to increase the estimated value of the Notes at any time.
|
| ♦ |
The estimated value of the Notes is based on our internal pricing models, which may prove to be inaccurate and may be different from the pricing models of other financial
institutions — The estimated value of your Notes on the trade date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal funding rate on the trade date, and are based on a
number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the
methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the Notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Notes in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of
your Notes may be materially less than the estimated value of the Notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may
prove to be incorrect.
|
| ♦ |
The estimated value of your Notes is not a prediction of the prices at which you may sell your Notes in the secondary market, if any, and such secondary market prices, if any,
will likely be less than the issue price of your Notes and may be less than the estimated value of your Notes — The estimated value of the Notes is not a prediction of the prices at which TDS, other affiliates of ours or third
parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your Notes in the secondary market
at any time, if any, will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than the estimated value of the Notes.
Further, as secondary market prices of your Notes take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and
structuring the Notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the Notes, secondary market prices of your Notes will likely be less than the issue price of your Notes. As a result, the price at which TDS, other affiliates of ours or
third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your Notes, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss
to you.
|
| ♦ |
The temporary price at which TDS may initially buy the Notes in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes — Assuming that all relevant
factors remain constant after the trade date, the price at which TDS may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market (if TDS makes a market in the Notes, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of the
Notes on the trade date, as well as the secondary market value of the Notes, for a temporary period after the settlement date of the Notes, as discussed further under “Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes”
herein. The price at which TDS may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes.
|
| ♦ |
The underwriting discount, offering expenses and certain hedging costs are likely to adversely affect secondary market prices — Assuming no changes in market conditions
or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the Notes will likely be less than the issue price. The issue price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, any underwriting discount
paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction
costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction.
|
| ♦ |
There may not be an active trading market for the Notes — sales in the secondary market may result in significant losses — There may be little or no secondary market for
the Notes. The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network. TDS or another of our affiliates intends to make a market for the Notes; however, they are not required to do so and
may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the Notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary
market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your Notes in any secondary market could be substantial.
|
| ♦ |
If the value of the underlying asset changes, the market value of your Notes may not change in the same manner — Your Notes may trade quite differently from the
performance of the underlying asset. Changes in the value of the underlying asset may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your Notes. Even if the closing level of the underlying asset remains greater than or equal
to the downside threshold and coupon barrier or increases to greater than the call threshold level during the term of the Notes, the market value of your Notes may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
|
| ♦ |
Economic and market factors affecting the terms and market price of Notes prior to maturity — Because structured notes, including the Notes, can be thought of as having
a debt component and a derivative component, factors that influence the values of debt instruments and options and other derivatives will also affect the terms and features of the Notes at issuance and the market price of the Notes
prior to maturity. These factors include the level of the underlying asset; the volatility of the underlying asset; any expected dividends on the underlying asset; the time remaining to the maturity of the Notes; interest rates in the
markets; geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, force majeure and regulatory or judicial events; the creditworthiness of TD; the then current bid-ask spread for the Notes and the factors discussed under “—Risks
Relating to Hedging Activities and Conflicts of Interest — Potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent” below. These and other factors are unpredictable and interrelated and may offset or magnify each other.
|
| ♦ |
Potential conflicts of interest between you and the calculation agent — The calculation agent will, among other things, determine the amounts payable on the Notes. We
will serve as the calculation agent and may appoint a different calculation agent after the settlement date without notice to you. The calculation agent will exercise its judgment when performing its functions and may have a conflict of
interest if it needs to make certain decisions. For example, the calculation agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting the underlying asset has occurred, and make certain adjustments if certain events
occur, which may, in turn, depend on the calculation agent’s judgment as to whether the event has materially interfered with our ability or the ability of one of our affiliates to unwind our hedge positions. Because this determination
by the calculation agent may affect the amounts payable on the Notes, the calculation agent may have a conflict of interest if it needs to make a determination of this kind. For additional information on the calculation agent’s role,
see “General Terms of the Notes — Role of Calculation Agent” in the product supplement.
|
| ♦ |
Following certain events, the calculation agent can make adjustments to the underlying asset and the terms of the Notes that may adversely affect the market value of, and
return on, the Notes — Following certain events affecting the underlying asset, the calculation agent may make adjustments to the initial level, call threshold level, coupon barrier, downside threshold and/or final level, as
applicable, and any other term of the Notes and, in some instances, may replace such underlying asset. However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment in response to every event that could affect the underlying asset. If an
event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to make an adjustment, the market value of, and return on, the Notes may be materially and adversely affected. In addition, all determinations and calculations concerning any such
adjustments will be made by the calculation agent. You should be aware that the calculation agent may make any such adjustment, determination or calculation in a manner that differs from that discussed in the accompanying product
supplement or herein that it believes are appropriate to offset to the extent practical any change in your economic position as a holder of the Notes resulting solely from any such event to achieve an equitable result. Following certain
events relating to the underlying asset issuer, such as a reorganization event or a delisting or suspension of trading, the determination as to whether the contingent coupon is payable to you on any coupon payment date, whether the
Notes are subject to an automatic call or the amount you receive at maturity may be based on the equity security of a successor to such underlying asset issuer in combination with any cash or any other assets distributed to holders of
such underlying asset, if applicable, or on the common stock issued by another company. The occurrence of any such event and the consequent adjustments may materially and adversely affect the value of, and return on, the Notes. For more
information, see the sections “General Terms of the Notes — Delisting or Suspension of Trading in, or Change in Law Event Affecting, an Equity Security” and “— Anti-dilution Adjustments” in the product supplement.
|
| ♦ |
Trading and business activities by TD, the agents or our or their respective affiliates may adversely affect the market value of, and any amounts payable on, the Notes —
We, TDS and/or our other affiliates may hedge our obligations under the Notes by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the value of the underlying asset, and
we may adjust these hedges by, among other things, purchasing or selling at any time any of the foregoing assets. It is possible that we or one or more of our or their respective affiliates could receive substantial returns from these
hedging activities while the market value of the Notes declines. We, the agents or one or more of our or their respective affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns
linked or related to changes in the underlying asset.
|
| ♦ |
Credit risk of TD — Although the return on the Notes will be based on the performance of the underlying asset, the payment of any amount due on the Notes is subject to
TD’s credit risk. The Notes are TD’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of TD and to changes in the
market’s view of TD’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in TD’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking TD’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Notes. If TD becomes
unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the Notes and could lose all of their initial investment.
|
| ♦ |
Uncertain tax treatment — The U.S. tax treatment of the Notes is uncertain. Please read carefully the sections entitled “What Are the Tax Consequences of the Notes?”
herein and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the product supplement You should consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your investment in the Notes.
