Autocallable Contingent Interest Barrier Notes Linked to the Least Performing of the Shares of the iShares® Russell 2000 ETF, the Shares of the Invesco QQQ TrustSM,
Series 1 and the Shares of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust Due on or about November 16, 2023

The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD” or “we”) is offering the Autocallable Contingent Interest Barrier Notes (the “Notes”) linked to the least performing of the shares
of the iShares® Russell 2000 ETF, the shares of the Invesco QQQ TrustSM, Series 1 and the shares of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (each, a “Reference Asset” and together, the “Reference Assets”).
The Notes will pay a Contingent Interest Payment on a Contingent Interest Payment Date (including the Maturity Date) at a per annum rate of 7.00% (the “Contingent
Interest Rate”) only if, on the related Contingent Interest Observation Date, the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Contingent Interest Barrier Value, which is equal to 65.00% of its Initial Value. The Notes will
be automatically called if, on any Call Observation Date, the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value, which is equal to 100.00% of its Initial Value. If the Notes are automatically called, on the
first following Contingent Interest Payment Date (the “Call Payment Date”), we will pay a cash payment per Note equal to the Principal Amount, plus any Contingent Interest Payment otherwise due. No further amounts will be owed under the Notes. If the
Notes are not automatically called, the amount we pay at maturity, in addition to any Contingent Interest Payment otherwise due, if anything, will depend on the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on its Final Valuation Date (each, its “Final
Value”) relative to its Barrier Value, which is equal to 65.00% of its Initial Value, calculated as follows:
|
• |
If the Final Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value:
|
the Principal Amount of $1,000
|
• |
If the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value:
|
the sum of (1) $1,000 plus (2) the product of (i) $1,000 times (ii) the Least Performing Percentage Change
In this scenario, investors will suffer a percentage loss on their initial investment that is equal to the percentage decline of the
Reference Asset with the lowest Percentage Change from its Initial Value to its Final Value (the “Least Performing Reference Asset”). Specifically, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the
Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the entire Principal Amount. Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk.
The Notes do not guarantee the payment of any Contingent Interest Payments or the return of the Principal Amount. Investors are exposed to the market
risk of each Reference Asset on each Contingent Interest Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date) and any decline in the value of one Reference Asset will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or potential increase
in the value of any other Reference Asset. If the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, investors may lose up to their entire investment in the Notes. Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit
risk.
|
The Notes are unsecured and are not savings accounts or insured deposits of a bank. The Notes are not insured or guaranteed by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality of Canada or the United States. The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network.
The Notes have complex features and investing in the Notes involves a number of risks. See “Additional Risk Factors” beginning on page P-8 of this pricing
supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” beginning on page PS-6 of the product prospectus supplement MLN-ES-ETF-1 dated November 6, 2020 (the “product prospectus supplement”) and “Risk Factors” on page 1 of the prospectus dated
June 18, 2019 (the “prospectus”).
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these Notes or determined that this
pricing supplement, the product prospectus supplement or the prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
We will deliver the Notes in book-entry only form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company on the Issue Date against payment in immediately available funds.
The estimated value of your Notes at the time the terms of your Notes are set on the Pricing Date is expected to be between $920.00 and $950.00 per Note, as discussed further under
“Additional Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity” beginning on page P-11 and “Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes” on page P-25 of this pricing supplement. The estimated value is expected to be
less than the public offering price of the Notes.

Issue Date:
|
November 18, 2020, which is three Business Days following the Pricing Date. Under Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), trades in the
secondary market generally are required to settle in two Business Days (“T+2”), 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 two
Business Days 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.
|
Final Valuation Date:
|
The final Contingent Interest Observation Date, as specified below under “Contingent Interest Observation Dates”.
|
Maturity Date:
|
November 16, 2023, subject to postponement as described below under “Contingent Interest Observation Dates” or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day.
|
Call Feature:
|
If the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on any Call Observation Date is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value, we will automatically call the Notes and, on the related Call
Payment Date, we will pay you a cash payment equal to the Principal Amount, plus any Contingent Interest Payment otherwise due. No further amounts will be owed to you under the Notes.
|
Call Threshold Value:
|
With respect to the IWM Fund, $[●] (100.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
With respect to the QQQ Trust, $[●] (100.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
With respect to the SPY Trust, $[●] (100.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
Each Call Threshold Value is determined by the Calculation Agent and is subject to adjustment as described under “General Terms of the Notes— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the product prospectus supplement.
|
Call Observation Dates:
|
Semi-annually, on the 13th calendar day of each May and November, commencing on May 13, 2021 and ending on May 13, 2023, or, if such day is not a Trading Day, the next following
Trading Day. If a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to a Reference Asset on any Call Observation Date, the Call Observation Date for the affected Reference Asset will be postponed until the next Trading Day on which
no market disruption event occurs or is continuing for that Reference Asset. In no event, however, will any Call Observation Date for any Reference Asset be postponed by more than eight Trading Days. If the determination of the Closing Value
of a Reference Asset for any Call Observation Date is postponed to the last possible day, but a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on that day, that day will nevertheless be the date on which the Closing Value of such Reference
Asset will be determined. In such an event, the Calculation Agent will estimate the Closing Value that would have prevailed in the absence of the market disruption event. For the avoidance of doubt, if on any Call Observation Date, no market
disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to a particular Reference Asset, the Call Observation Date for such Reference Asset will be made on the originally scheduled Observation Date irrespective of the occurrence of a market
disruption event with respect to another Reference Asset. If a Call Observation Date is postponed, the corresponding Call Payment Date will be postponed to maintain the same number of Business Days between such dates as existed prior to the
postponement(s).
|
Call Payment Date:
|
If the Notes are subject to an automatic call, the Call Payment Date will be the Contingent Interest Payment Date immediately following the relevant Call Observation Date, subject to
postponement as described above under “Call Observation Dates” if the related Call Observation Date is postponed or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day.
|
Contingent Interest
Payment:
|
If the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Contingent Interest Barrier Value on any Contingent Interest Observation Date, a Contingent Interest Payment will
be paid to you on the corresponding Contingent Interest Payment Date, in an amount equal to:
Principal Amount x Contingent Interest Rate x 1/2
If the Closing Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Contingent Interest Barrier Value on any Contingent Interest Observation Date, you will receive no Contingent Interest Payment on
the corresponding Contingent Interest Payment Date.
All amounts used in or resulting from any calculation relating to a Contingent Interest Payment will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest tenth of a cent.
Contingent Interest Payments on the Notes are not guaranteed. You will not receive a Contingent Interest Payment on a Contingent Interest Payment Date if the Closing Value
of any Reference Asset on the related Contingent Interest Observation Date is less than its Contingent Interest Barrier Value.
|
Contingent Interest Rate:
|
7.00% per annum
|
Contingent Interest
Barrier Value:
|
With respect to the IWM Fund, $[●] (65.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
With respect to the QQQ Trust, $[●] (65.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
With respect to the SPY Trust, $[●] (65.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
Each Contingent Interest Barrier Value is determined by the Calculation Agent and is subject to adjustment as described under “General Terms of the Notes— Anti-Dilution
Adjustments” in the product prospectus supplement.
|
Contingent Interest
Observation Dates:
|
Semi-annually, on the 13th calendar day of each May and November, commencing on May 13, 2021 and ending on November 13, 2023 (the “Final Valuation Date”), or if such day is not a
Trading Day, the next following Trading Day. If a market disruption event occurs or is continuing with respect to a Reference Asset on any Contingent Interest Observation Date for any Reference Asset, the Contingent Interest Observation Date
for the affected Reference Asset will be postponed until the next Trading Day on which no market disruption event occurs or is continuing for that Reference Asset. In no event, however, will any Contingent Interest Observation Date for any
Reference Asset be postponed by more than eight Trading Days. If the determination of the Closing Value of a Reference Asset for any Contingent Interest Observation Date is postponed to the last possible day, but a market disruption event
occurs or is continuing on that day, that day will nevertheless be the date on which the Closing Value of such Reference Asset will be determined. In such an event, the Calculation Agent will estimate the Closing Value that would have
prevailed in the absence of the market disruption event. For the avoidance of doubt, if on any Contingent Interest Observation Date, no market disruption event is occurring with respect to a particular Reference Asset, the Contingent Interest
Observation Date for such Reference Asset will be made on the originally scheduled Observation Date irrespective of the occurrence of a market disruption event with respect to another Reference Asset. If a Contingent Interest Observation Date
(or the Final Valuation Date) is postponed, the corresponding Contingent Interest Payment Date (or Maturity Date) will be postponed to maintain the same number of Business Days between such dates as existed prior to the postponement(s).
|
Contingent Interest
Payment Dates:
|
With respect to each Contingent Interest Observation Date, the third Business Day following the relevant Contingent Interest Observation Date, with the exception of the final Contingent
Interest Payment Date, which will be the Maturity Date, subject to postponement as described above under “— Contingent Interest Observation Dates” or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day.
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
If the Notes are not automatically called, on the Maturity Date, in addition to any Contingent Interest Payment otherwise due, we will pay a cash payment, if anything, per Note equal to:
If the Final Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value:
Principal Amount of $1,000.
If the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value:
$1,000 + $1,000 x Least Performing Percentage Change.
In this scenario, investors will suffer a percentage loss on their initial investment that is equal to the Least Performing Percentage Change.
Specifically, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the entire Principal Amount. Any payments on the
Notes are subject to our credit risk.
All amounts used in or resulting from any calculation relating to the Payment at Maturity will be rounded upward or downward, as appropriate, to the nearest cent.
|
Percentage Change:
|
For each Reference Asset, the Percentage Change is the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of the following formula:
Final Value – Initial Value
Initial Value
|
Initial Value:
|
With respect to the IWM Fund, $[●] (to be determined on the Pricing Date).
With respect to the QQQ Trust, $[●] (to be determined on the Pricing Date).
With respect to the SPY Trust, $[●] (to be determined on the Pricing Date).
The Initial Value of each Reference Asset equals its Closing Value on the Pricing Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent and subject to adjustment as described under “General Terms of the Notes—
Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the product prospectus supplement.
|
Closing Value:
|
For each Reference Asset, the Closing Value will be the closing sale price or last reported sale price (or, in the case of Nasdaq, the official closing price) for that Reference Asset on a per-share or other
unit basis, on any Trading Day for that Reference Asset or, if such Reference Asset is not quoted on any national securities exchange on that day, on any other market system or quotation system that is the primary market for the trading of
such Reference Asset.
|
Final Value:
|
For each Reference Asset, the Closing Value of such Reference Asset on its Final Valuation Date.
|
Barrier Value:
|
With respect to the IWM Fund, $[●] (65.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
With respect to the QQQ Trust, $[●] (65.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
With respect to the SPY Trust, $[●] (65.00% of its Initial Value, to be determined on the Pricing Date).
Each Barrier Value is determined by the Calculation Agent and is subject to adjustment as described under “General Terms of the Notes— Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the product prospectus supplement.
|
Least Performing

|
The Reference Asset with the lowest Percentage Change as compared to the Percentage Change of any other Reference Asset.
|

|
The Percentage Change of the Least Performing Reference Asset.
|
Monitoring Period:

Trading Day:
|
A day on which the principal trading market(s) for each Reference Asset is scheduled to be open for trading, as determined by the Calculation Agent.
|
Business Day:
|
Any day that is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law to close in New
York City.
|
U.S. Tax Treatment:
|
By purchasing the Notes, you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the Notes, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Reference Assets. Pursuant to this approach, it is likely that any Contingent Interest Payment that you receive should be included in ordinary income at the time
you receive the payment or when it accrues, depending on your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Cadwalader, Wickersham
& Taft LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat the 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, as a constructive ownership transaction under Section 1260 of the Code 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” herein and in the product prospectus supplement. An investment in the Notes is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders and we will not attempt to ascertain the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Notes.

Canadian Tax Treatment:

Please see the discussion in the product prospectus supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences,” which applies to the Notes.

Record Date:

Listing:

The Notes are not bail-inable debt securities (as defined in the prospectus) under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act.

The Pricing Date, the Issue Date, and all other dates listed above are subject to change. These dates will be set forth in the final pricing supplement that will be made available in connection with
sales of the Notes.
Additional Terms of Your Notes
You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus, as supplemented by the product prospectus supplement MLN-ES-ETF-1 (the “product prospectus supplement”), relating to our Senior
Debt Securities, Series E, of which these Notes are a part. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement will have the meanings given to them in the product prospectus supplement. In the event of any conflict the following
hierarchy will govern: first, this pricing supplement; second, the product prospectus supplement; and last, the prospectus. The Notes vary from the terms described in the product prospectus
supplement in several important ways. You should read this pricing supplement carefully.
This pricing supplement, together with the documents listed below, contains the terms of the Notes and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral statements as well as any other written materials
including preliminary or indicative pricing terms, correspondence, trade ideas, structures for implementation, sample structures, brochures or other educational materials of ours. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set
forth in “Additional Risk Factors” herein, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the product prospectus supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus, as the Notes involve risks not associated with conventional debt securities. We urge
you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors concerning an investment in the Notes. You may access these documents on the SEC website at www.sec.gov as follows (or if that address has changed, by reviewing our filings for
the relevant date on the SEC website):

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 0000947263. As used in this pricing supplement, the “Bank,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries.
We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the Notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, we will notify you and you will be asked to accept
such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
Additional Risk Factors
The Notes involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the terms of the Notes. For additional
information as to these and other risks, please see “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the product prospectus supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus.
Investors should consult their investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and the suitability of the Notes in light of their particular
circumstances.
Risks Relating to Return Characteristics
Your Investment in the Notes May Result in a Loss.
The Notes do not guarantee the return of the Principal Amount and investors may lose up to their entire investment in the Notes. Specifically, if the Notes are not automatically called and the Final
Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the entire
Principal Amount.
You Will Not Receive Any Contingent Interest Payment for Any Contingent Interest Payment Date If the Closing Value of Any Reference Asset on the Corresponding Contingent Interest
Observation Date Is Less Than its Contingent Interest Barrier Value.
You will not receive a Contingent Interest Payment on a Contingent Interest Payment Date if the Closing Value of any Reference Asset on the related Contingent Interest Observation Date is less than its
Contingent Interest Barrier Value. If the Closing Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Contingent Interest Barrier Value on each Contingent Interest Observation Date over the term of the Notes, you will not receive any Contingent Interest
Payments. This non-payment of any Contingent Interest Payment will coincide with a greater risk of principal loss on your Notes at maturity. Furthermore, if the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, you will lose a
significant portion or all of your initial investment in the Notes.
The Potential Positive Return on the Notes Is Limited to the Contingent Interest Payments Paid on the Notes, If Any, Regardless of Any Appreciation in the Price of Any Reference
Asset.
The potential positive return on the Notes is limited to any Contingent Interest Payments paid, meaning any positive return on the Notes will be composed solely by the sum of any Contingent Interest
Payments paid over the term of the Notes. Therefore, if the appreciation of any Reference Asset exceeds the sum of any Contingent Interest Payments actually paid on the Notes, the return on the Notes will be less than the return on a direct
investment in such Reference Asset or in a security directly linked to the positive performance of such Reference Asset or a hypothetical investment in the stocks and other assets comprising the Reference Asset (the “Reference Asset Constituents”).
Your Return May Be Less than the Return on a Conventional Debt Security of Comparable Maturity.
The return that you will receive on your Notes, which could be negative, may be less than the return you could earn on other investments. The Notes do not provide for fixed
interest payments and you may not receive any Contingent Interest Payments over the term of the Notes. Even if you do receive one or more Contingent Interest Payments and your return on the Notes is positive, your return may be less than the return
you would earn if you bought a conventional, interest-bearing senior debt security of TD of comparable maturity. Your investment may not reflect the full opportunity cost to you when you take into account factors that affect the time value of money.
The Notes May Be Automatically Called Prior to the Maturity Date And Are Subject to
Reinvestment Risk.
If your Notes are automatically called, no further payments will be owed to you under the Notes after the applicable Call Payment Date. Therefore, because the Notes could be called as early as the
first potential Call Payment Date, the holding period could be limited. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the Notes
are automatically called prior to the Maturity Date. Furthermore, to the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment with a comparable return for a similar level of risk, you may incur transaction costs such as dealer discounts and
hedging costs built into the price of the new notes.
The Amounts Payable on the Notes Are Not Linked to the Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset at Any Time Other Than on the Contingent Interest Observation Dates (Including
the Final Valuation Date) and Call Observation Dates.
Any payments on the Notes will be based on the Closing Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset only on the Contingent Interest Observation Dates (including the Final Valuation Date) and Call
Observation Dates. Even if the market value of the Least Performing Reference Asset appreciates prior to the relevant Contingent Interest Observation Date but then drops on that day to a Closing Value that is less than its Contingent Interest Barrier
Value, you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payment on the corresponding Contingent Interest Payment Date. Additionally, if the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, you will lose a significant portion or all of
your initial investment in the Notes. Similarly, the Payment at Maturity may be significantly less than it would have been had the Notes been linked to the Closing Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset on a date other than the Final Valuation
Date, and may be zero. Although the actual values of the Reference Assets at other times during the term of the Notes may be higher than the values on one or more Contingent Interest Observation Dates (including the Final Valuation Date) or Call
Observation Dates, any Contingent Interest Payments on the Notes and the Payment at Maturity will be based solely on the Closing
Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset on the applicable Contingent Interest Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date) and Call Observation Dates.
The Contingent Interest Rate Will Reflect, In Part, the Volatility of each Reference Asset and May Not Be Sufficient to Compensate You for the Risk of Loss at
Maturity.
Generally, the higher a Reference Asset’s volatility, the more likely it is that the Closing Value of that Reference Asset could be less than its Call Threshold Value
or Contingent Interest Barrier Value on a Call Observation Date or Contingent Interest Observation Date or its Barrier Value on its Final Valuation Date. Volatility means the magnitude and frequency of changes in the values of a Reference Asset.
This greater risk will generally be reflected in a higher Contingent Interest Rate for the Notes than the interest rate payable on our conventional debt securities of comparable maturity. However, while the Contingent Interest Rate is set on the
Pricing Date, a Reference Asset’s volatility can change significantly over the term of the Notes, and may increase. The value of any Reference Asset could fall sharply on the Contingent Interest Observation Dates, resulting in few or no Contingent
Interest Payments or on the Final Valuation Date, resulting in a significant or entire loss of principal.
You Will Have No Rights to Receive Any Shares of Any Reference Asset and You Will Not Be Entitled to Any Dividends or Other Distributions on Any Reference Asset.
The Notes are our debt securities. They are not equity instruments, shares of stock, or securities of any other issuer. Investing in the Notes will not make you a holder of shares of any Reference
Asset, and you will not have any voting rights, any rights to receive dividends or other distributions, any rights against any Investment Advisers, or any other rights with respect to any Reference Asset. As a result, the return on your Notes may not
reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned shares of any Reference Asset and received any dividends paid or other distributions made in connection with them. Your Notes will be paid in cash and you have no right to receive delivery of
shares of any Reference Asset.
Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Reference Assets
There Are Market Risks Associated with each Reference Asset.
The value of each Reference Asset can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to such Reference Asset, its investment adviser (each an “Investment Adviser”, and together, the “Investment
Advisers”), the Reference Asset Constituents and their issuers (the “Reference Asset Constituent Issuers”), such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and
decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock and commodity market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic and political conditions. In addition, recently, the coronavirus infection has caused
volatility in the global financial markets and a slowdown in the global economy. Coronavirus or any other communicable disease or infection may adversely affect the Reference Asset Constituents and Reference Asset Constituent Issuers and, therefore,
the Reference Assets. You, as an investor in the Notes, should make your own investigation into the Investment Advisers and the Reference Assets for your Notes. For additional information, see “Information Regarding the Reference Assets” in this
pricing supplement and each Investment Adviser’s SEC filings. We urge you to review financial and other information filed periodically by the Investment Advisers with the SEC.
Investors Are Exposed to the Market Risk of Each Reference Asset on Each Contingent Interest Observation Date (Including the Final Valuation Date).
Your return on the Notes is not linked to a basket consisting of the Reference Assets. Rather, it will be contingent upon the performance of each Reference Asset. Unlike an instrument with a return
linked to a basket of indices, common stocks or other underlying securities, in which risk is mitigated and diversified among all of the components of the basket, you will be exposed equally to the risks related to each Reference Asset on each
Contingent Interest Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date). Poor performance by any Reference Asset over the term of the Notes will negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a positive performance by any
other Reference Asset. For instance, you will receive a negative return equal to the Least Performing Percentage Change if the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value on its Final Valuation Date, even if the Percentage
Change of another Reference Asset is positive or has not declined as much. Accordingly, your investment is subject to the market risk of each Reference Asset.
Because the Notes are Linked to the Least Performing Reference Asset, You Are Exposed to a Greater Risk of no Contingent Interest Payments and Losing a Significant Portion or All of
Your Initial Investment at Maturity than if the Notes Were Linked to a Single Reference Asset or Fewer Reference Assets.
The risk that you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payments and lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment in the Notes is greater if you invest in the Notes than the risk of
investing in substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of only one Reference Asset or fewer Reference Assets. With more Reference Assets, it is more likely that the Closing Value of any Reference Asset will be less than its
Contingent Interest Barrier Value on any Contingent Interest Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date) and that the Final Value of any Reference Asset will be less than its Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date than if the Notes were
linked to a single Reference Asset or fewer Reference Assets.
In addition, the lower the correlation is between the performance of a pair of Reference Assets, the more likely it is that one of the Reference Assets will decline in value to a Closing Value or Final
Value, as applicable, that is less than its Contingent Interest Barrier Value or Barrier Value on any Call Observation Date or Contingent Interest Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date). Although the correlation of the Reference
Assets’ performance may change over the term of the Notes, the economic terms of the Notes, including the Contingent Interest Rate, Contingent Interest Barrier Value and Barrier Value are determined, in part, based on the
correlation of the Reference Assets’ performance calculated using our internal models at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. All things being equal, a higher Contingent Interest Rate
and lower Contingent Interest Barrier Values and Barrier Values are generally associated with lower correlation of the Reference Assets. Therefore, if the performance of a pair of Reference Assets is not correlated to each other or is negatively
correlated, the risk that you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payments or that the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value will occur is even greater despite a lower Barrier Value and Contingent Interest Barrier
Value. Therefore, it is more likely that you will not receive any Contingent Interest Payments and that you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment at maturity.
Changes that Affect the Target Index of a Reference Asset Will Affect the Market Value of the Notes and Any Amounts Payable on the Notes.
The Reference Assets are exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that seek to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of their
Target Index. The policies of the sponsors of the Target Indices (each an “Index Sponsor”, and together, the “Index Sponsors”) concerning the calculation of the Target Indices, additions, deletions or substitutions of the components of a Target Index
and the manner in which changes affecting those components, such as stock dividends, reorganizations or mergers, may be reflected in a Target Index and, therefore, could affect any amounts payable on the Notes and the market value of the Notes prior
to maturity. Any amounts payable on the Notes and their market value could also be affected if an Index Sponsor changes these policies, for example, by changing the manner in which it calculates a Target Index. Some of the risks that relate to a
Target Index of an ETF include those discussed in the product prospectus supplement, which you should review before investing in the Notes.
The Performance of a Reference Asset May Not Correlate With That of its Target Index.
The performance of a Reference Asset will not exactly replicate the performance of its Target Index because such Reference Asset will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the
calculation of the Target Index. It is also possible that a Reference Asset may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of its Target Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain
securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in such Reference Asset, differences in trading hours between such Reference Asset and its Target Index or due to other circumstances.
The Value of a Reference Asset May Not Completely Track its NAV.
The net asset value (“NAV”) of a Reference Asset may fluctuate with changes in the market value of its Reference Asset Constituents. The market values of the Reference Asset Constituents may fluctuate in accordance
with changes in NAV and supply and demand on the applicable stock exchange(s). Furthermore, the Reference Asset Constituents may be unavailable in the secondary market during periods of market volatility, which may make it difficult for market
participants to accurately calculate the intraday NAV per share of that Reference Asset and may adversely affect the liquidity and prices of that Reference Asset, perhaps significantly. For any of these reasons, the market value of a Reference Asset
may differ from its NAV per share and may trade at, above or below its NAV per share.
Adjustments to a Reference Asset Could Adversely Affect the Notes.
The Investment Advisers (as specified under “Information Regarding the Reference Assets”) are responsible for calculating and maintaining their Reference Asset. An Investment Adviser can add, delete
or substitute the Reference Asset Constituents for its Reference Asset. An Investment Adviser may make other methodological changes to its Reference Asset that could change the value of such Reference Asset at any time. If one or more of these events
occurs, the Closing Value of such Reference Asset may be adjusted to reflect such event or events, which could adversely affect whether and the extent to which any amounts may be payable on the Notes and/or the market value of the Notes.
There Are Liquidity and Management Risks Associated with an ETF and Each Reference Asset Utilizes a Passive Indexing
Investment Approach.
Although shares of each Reference Asset are listed for trading on a securities exchange and a number of similar products have been traded on various exchanges for varying periods of time, there is no assurance that an
active trading market will continue for such shares or that there will be liquidity in that trading market. Each Reference Asset is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the Investment Adviser’s investment strategy, the implementation of
which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. Additionally, none of the Reference Assets are managed according to traditional methods of “active” investment management, which involves the buying and selling of
securities based on economic, financial and market analysis and investment judgment. Instead, each Reference Asset, utilizing a “passive” or indexing investment approach, attempts to approximate the investment performance of its Target Index by
investing in Reference Asset Constituents that generally replicate its Target Index. Therefore, unless a specific stock is removed from a Target Index, that Reference Asset generally would not sell a stock because that stock’s issuer was in financial
trouble.
An Investment in the Notes is Subject to Small-Capitalization Risks
The Notes are linked to the IWM Fund and are subject to risks associated with small-capitalization companies. The IWM Fund invests in companies that may be considered
small-capitalization companies. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than mid- and large-capitalization companies and therefore the respective fund’s share price may be more volatile than
that of funds that invest a larger percentage of their assets in stocks issued by mid- and large-capitalization companies. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also more vulnerable than those of mid- and large-capitalization companies
to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded, making it difficult for the relevant fund to buy and sell them. In addition, small-capitalization companies are typically less
stable
financially than mid- and large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Small-capitalization
companies are often given less analyst coverage and may be in early, and less predictable, periods of their corporate existences. Such companies tend to have smaller revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their product or service
markets, fewer financial resources and less competitive strengths than mid- and large-capitalization companies and are more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products.
We Have No Affiliation with Any Index Sponsor or Any Investment Adviser and Will Not Be Responsible for Any Actions Taken by Any Index Sponsor or Any Investment Adviser.
The Index Sponsors and the Investment Advisers are not affiliates of ours and will not be involved in the offering of the Notes in any way. Consequently, we have no control over the actions of any Index Sponsor or any
Investment Adviser, including any actions of the type that would require the Calculation Agent to adjust any amounts payable on the Notes. The Index Sponsors and the Investment Advisers have no obligation of any sort with respect to the Notes. Thus,
the Index Sponsors and the Investment Advisers have no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including in taking any actions that might affect the value of the applicable Reference Asset or the Notes. None of our
proceeds from the issuance of the Notes will be delivered to the Index Sponsors or the Investment Advisers.
Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Expected To Be Less Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes.
The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is expected to be less than the public offering price of your Notes. The difference between the public offering price of your Notes and the
estimated value of the Notes reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the Notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the Notes. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market
forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss.
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Based on Our Internal Funding Rate.
The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is determined by reference to our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Notes
generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of
the funding value of the Notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Notes in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge
positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt
securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the Notes to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes is expected to increase the
estimated value of the Notes at any time.
The Estimated Value of the Notes Is Based on Our Internal Pricing Models, Which May Prove to Be Inaccurate and May Be Different from the Pricing Models of Other Financial
Institutions.
The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is based on our internal pricing models when the terms of the Notes are set, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal
funding rate on the Pricing Date, and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial
institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the Notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Notes in the secondary market. As a result, the
secondary market price of your Notes may be materially less than the estimated value of the Notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any
assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Not a Prediction of the Prices at Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, If Any, and Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will
Likely be Less Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes and May Be Less Than the Estimated Value of Your Notes.
The estimated value of the Notes is not a prediction of the prices at which the Agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market
transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your Notes in the secondary market at any time, if any, will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such
as market conditions, and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than the estimated value of the Notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your Notes take into account the levels at which our debt
securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the Notes, as well as hedging our obligations under the Notes, secondary market prices of your Notes
will likely be less than the public offering price of your Notes. As a result, the price at which the Agent, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely
be less than the price you paid for your Notes, and any sale prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
The Temporary Price at Which the Agent May Initially Buy the Notes in the Secondary Market May Not Be Indicative of Future Prices of Your Notes.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Pricing Date, the price at which the Agent may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market (if the Agent makes a market in the
Notes, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of
the Notes on the Pricing Date, as well as the secondary market value of the Notes, for a temporary period after the Issue Date of the Notes, as discussed further under “Additional Information Regarding
the Estimated Value of the Notes.” The price at which the Agent may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes.
The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses and Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.
Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the Notes will likely be less than the public offering price. The public
offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, any underwriting discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes. In addition, any
such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction.
There May Not Be an Active Trading Market for the Notes — Sales in the Secondary Market May Result in Significant Losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes. The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or electronic communications network. The Agent may make a market for the
Notes; however, it is not required to do so and may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the Notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that
transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your Notes in any secondary market could be substantial.
If you sell your Notes before the Maturity Date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the public offering price irrespective of the value of the then-current least performing Reference
Asset, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
If the Values of any Reference Asset Changes, the Market Value of Your Notes May Not Change in the Same Manner.
Your Notes may trade quite differently from the performance of any of the Reference Assets. Changes in the value of any Reference Asset may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your
Notes. Even if the Closing Value of each Reference Asset remains equal to or greater than its Barrier Value and Contingent Interest Barrier Value or increases to greater than its Initial Value during the term of the Notes, the market value of your
Notes may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
Risks Relating to Hedging Activities and Conflicts of Interest
There Are Potential Conflicts of Interest Between You and the Calculation Agent.
The Calculation Agent will, among other things, determine the amounts payable on the Notes. We will serve as the Calculation Agent and may appoint a different Calculation Agent after the Issue Date
without notice to you. The Calculation Agent will exercise its judgment when performing its functions. For example, the Calculation Agent may have to determine whether a market disruption event affecting a Reference Asset has occurred, which may, in
turn, depend on the Calculation Agent’s judgment as to whether the event has materially interfered with our ability or the ability of one of our affiliates to unwind our hedge positions. Because this determination by the Calculation Agent may affect
the amounts payable on the Notes, the Calculation Agent may have a conflict of interest if it needs to make a determination of this kind. For additional information on the Calculation Agent’s role, see “General Terms of the Notes — Role of
Calculation Agent” in the product prospectus supplement.
You Will Have Limited Anti-Dilution Protection.
The Calculation Agent may adjust the Initial Value, and therefore the Call Threshold Value, Contingent Interest Barrier Value and Barrier Value, of a Reference Asset for stock splits, reverse stock
splits, stock dividends, extraordinary dividends and other events that affect such Reference Asset, but only in the situations we describe in “General Terms of the Notes—Anti-Dilution Adjustments” in the product prospectus supplement. The Calculation
Agent will not be required to make an adjustment for every event that may affect a Reference Asset. Those events or other actions by any Investment Adviser or a third party may nevertheless adversely affect the value of a Reference Asset, and
adversely affect the value of your Notes.
The Contingent Interest Observation Dates (including the Final Valuation Date), Call Observation Dates and the Related Payment Dates are Subject to Market Disruption Events and
Postponements.
Each Contingent Interest Observation Date (including the Final Valuation Date), Call Observation Date and related payment date (including the Maturity Date) is subject to postponement due to the
occurrence of one of more market disruption events. For a description of what constitutes a market disruption event as well as the consequences of that market disruption event, see “General Terms of the Notes—Market Disruption Events” in the product
prospectus supplement and under “Summary—Call Observation Dates” and “—Contingent Interest Observation Dates” herein. A market disruption event for a particular Reference Asset will not constitute a market disruption event for any other Reference
Asset.
Trading and Business Activities by TD or its Affiliates May Adversely Affect the Market Value of, and Any Amounts Payable on, the Notes.
We, the Agent and our other affiliates may hedge our obligations under the Notes by purchasing securities, futures, options or other derivative instruments with returns linked or
related to changes in the price of a Reference Asset or one or more Reference Asset Constituents, and we may adjust these hedges by, among other things, purchasing or selling at any time any of the foregoing assets. It is possible that we or one or
more of our affiliates could receive substantial returns from these hedging activities while the market value of the Notes declines. We, or one or more of our affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative
instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the Reference Assets or one or more Reference Asset Constituents.
These trading activities may present a conflict between the holders’ interest in the Notes and the interests we and our affiliates will have in our or their
proprietary accounts, in facilitating transactions, including options and other derivatives transactions, for our or their customers’ accounts and in accounts under our or their management. These trading activities could be adverse to the interests
of the holders of the Notes.
We, the Agent and our affiliates may, at present or in the future, engage in business with one or more Reference Asset Constituent Issuers, including making loans to or providing advisory services
to those companies. These services could include investment banking and merger and acquisition advisory services. These business activities may present a conflict between our, the Agent’s and our affiliates’ obligations, and your interests as a
holder of the Notes. Moreover, we, the Agent or our affiliates may have published, and in the future expect to publish, research reports with respect to a Reference Asset or one or more Reference Asset Constituents. This research is modified from
time to time without notice and may express opinions or provide recommendations that are inconsistent with purchasing or holding the Notes. Any of these activities by us or one or more of our affiliates or the Agents or their affiliates may affect
the value of a Reference Asset or one or more Reference Asset Constituents and, therefore, the market value of the Notes, whether the Contingent Interest Payment is payable on any Contingent Interest Payment Date and the Payment at Maturity, if any.
Risks Relating to General Credit Characteristics
Investors Are Subject to TD’s Credit Risk, and TD’s Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect the Market Value of the Notes.
Although the return on the Notes will be based on the performance of the Least Performing Reference Asset, the payment of any amount due on the Notes is subject to TD’s credit risk. The Notes are TD’s
senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of TD and to changes in the market’s view of TD’s creditworthiness. Any decrease
in TD’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking TD’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the Notes. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due,
investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the Notes.
Risks Relating to Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Taxation
Significant Aspects of the Tax Treatment of the Notes Are Uncertain.
The U.S. tax treatment of the Notes is uncertain. Please read carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product prospectus supplement. You should
consult your tax advisor as to the tax consequences of your investment in the Notes.
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the Notes, please see the discussion in the product prospectus supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax
Consequences.” If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the Notes in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisor as to the consequences
of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Notes and receiving the payments that might be due under the Notes.
Hypothetical Returns
The examples set out below are included for
illustration purposes only and are hypothetical examples only; amounts below may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The Closing Values and Percentage Changes of the Reference Assets used to illustrate the calculation of whether a Contingent
Interest Payment is payable on a Contingent Interest Payment Date and the Payment at Maturity are not estimates or forecasts of the actual Initial Value, Closing Value or Final Value, or the value of any Reference Asset on any Trading Day prior to
the Maturity Date. All examples assume, for Reference Asset A, Reference Asset B and Reference Asset C, respectively, an Initial Value of $150.00, $250.00 and $300.00, a Call Threshold Value of $150.00, $250.00 and $300.00 (each 100.00% of its
Initial Value); a Contingent Interest Barrier Value of $97.50, $162.50 and $195.00 (each 65.00% of its Initial Value); a Barrier Value of $97.50, $162.50 and $195.00 (each 65.00% of its Initial Value); a Contingent Interest Payment of $35.00 per
Note (reflecting the Contingent Interest Rate of 7.00% per annum), that a holder purchased Notes with a Principal Amount of $1,000 and that no market disruption event occurs on any Call Observation Date or Contingent Interest Observation Date
(including the Final Valuation Date). The actual terms of the Notes will be set forth in the final pricing supplement.

Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value (and therefore also greater than its Contingent Interest Barrier Value) on the first Call
Observation Date, the Notes will be automatically called and, on the Call Payment Date, we will pay you a cash payment equal to $1,035.00 per Note, reflecting the Principal Amount plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment, for a return of 3.50%
per Note. No further amounts will be owed under the Notes.

Because the Closing Value of each Reference Asset on each Contingent Interest Observation Date prior to the Final Valuation Date is greater
than or equal to its Contingent Interest Barrier Value and less than its Call Threshold Value on each Call Observation Date, we will pay the Contingent Interest Payment on each corresponding Contingent Interest Payment Date and the Notes will not
be subject to an automatic call. Because the Final Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Barrier Value and its Contingent
Interest Barrier Value on the Final Valuation Date (which is also the final Contingent Interest Observation Date), on the Maturity Date, we will pay you a cash payment equal to
$1,035.00 per Note, reflecting the Principal Amount plus the applicable Contingent Interest Payment. When added to the Contingent Interest Payments of $175.00 paid in respect of the prior Contingent Interest Payment Dates, we will have paid
you a total of $1,210.00 per Note, a return of 21.00% per Note.

|
Because the Closing Value of at least one Reference Asset on each of the Contingent Interest Observation Dates prior to the Final Valuation Date is less than its Contingent
Interest Barrier Value (and therefore also less than its Call Threshold Value on each Call Observation Date), we will not pay the Contingent Interest Payment on any of the corresponding Contingent Interest Payment Dates and the Notes will not be
subject to an automatic call. Because the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value (and therefore also less than its Contingent Interest Barrier Value), on the Maturity Date, we will pay you a cash payment
that is less than the Principal Amount, if anything, equal to the sum of the Principal Amount plus the product of the Principal Amount and the Least Performing Percentage Change, for a total of $500.00 per Note, a loss of 50.00% per Note.
In this scenario, investors will suffer a percentage loss on their initial investment that is equal to the Least Performing Percentage Change. Specifically, investors will lose 1%
of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the entire Principal Amount. Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk.
Information Regarding the Reference Assets
We have derived all information contained in this document regarding the Reference Assets from publicly available information. We have not conducted any independent review or due
diligence of any publicly available information with respect to the Reference Assets. You should make your own investigation into each Reference Asset.
Included on the following pages is a brief description of each Reference Asset. This information has been obtained from publicly available sources. Set forth below is a graph that
provides the historical performance for each Reference Asset for the specified periods. We obtained the historical information set forth below from the Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”) without independent verification. The
Closing Values may be adjusted by Bloomberg for corporate actions such as stock splits, public offerings, mergers and acquisitions, spin-offs, delistings and bankruptcy. You should not take the historical performance of any Reference Asset as an
indication of its future performance. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of any Reference Asset will result in any positive return on your initial investment.
Each Reference Asset is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the Investment Company Act of 1940, each as amended, and/or the Exchange Act. Companies with securities registered with the SEC are
required to file financial and other information specified by the SEC periodically. Information filed by each Investment Adviser with the SEC can be reviewed electronically through a website maintained by the SEC. The address of the SEC’s website is
http://www.sec.gov. Information filed with the SEC by each Underlying Issuer can be located by reference to its SEC file number provided below. In addition, information filed with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the Public Reference Section of

The IWM Fund is one of the investment portfolios that constitute the iShares Trust. The IWM Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and
expenses of the Russell 2000 Index (the “Russell 2000”). The Russell 2000 measures the performance of the small-capitalization sector of the U.S. equity market and is provided by Russell Investment Group, an organization that is independent of the

The Russell 2000 is a float-adjusted capitalization-weighted index of equity securities issued by the approximately 2,000 smallest issuers in the Russell 3000 Index. The IWM Fund invests in a
representative sample of securities included in the Russell 2000 that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Russell 2000. The securities selected are expected to have, in the aggregate, investment characteristics (based on factors
such as market capitalization and industry weightings), fundamental characteristics (such as return variability and yield), and liquidity measures similar to those of the Russell 2000. Due to the use of representative sampling, the IWM Fund may or
may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Russell 2000.
As of September 30, 2020, ordinary operating expenses of the IWM Fund are expected to accrue at an annual rate of 0.19% of the IWM Fund’s average daily net asset value. Expenses of the IWM Fund reduce
the net asset value of the assets held by the IWM Fund and, therefore, reduce the value of the shares of the IWM Fund.
As of September 30, 2020, the IWM Fund held stocks of U.S. companies in the following industry sectors: Health Care (21.43%), Industrials (15.20%), Financials (14.74%), Consumer Discretionary (13.47%),
Information Technology (13.43%), Real Estate (6.62%), Materials (4.00%), Consumer Staples (3.43%), Utilities (3.24%), Communication (2.33%), Energy (1.92%) and Other (0.19%).

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are uncertain. No statutory, regulatory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses the
characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the Notes. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion under “Material
U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the product prospectus supplement and to discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the 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. This discussion applies to you only if you are a U.S. holder, as defined in the product prospectus supplement. An investment in the Notes is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders and we will not attempt to ascertain the tax consequences to
non-U.S. holders of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Notes. Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not addressed herein. No ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S.
federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS.
U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, TD and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination
or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the Notes as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Reference Assets. If your Notes are so treated, any Contingent Interest Payments paid on the Notes (including any Contingent Interest Payments
paid with respect to a Call Payment Date or on the Maturity Date) would be treated as ordinary income includable in income by you in accordance with your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Holders are urged to consult
their tax advisor concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above considerations.
Upon the taxable disposition of a Note, you generally should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such taxable disposition (adjusted for amounts or proceeds
attributable to any accrued and unpaid Contingent Interest Payments, which would be treated as ordinary income) and your tax basis in the Note. Your tax basis in a Note generally should equal your cost for the Note. Subject to the discussion below
regarding the constructive ownership rules of Section 1260 of the Code, 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. Although uncertain, it is possible that proceeds received from the sale or exchange of your Notes prior to a Contingent Interest Payment Date,
but that could be attributed to an expected Contingent Interest Payment, 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, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat
your Notes in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Notes, it is possible that your Notes could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment
debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization (including possible treatment as a “constructive ownership” transaction), 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” in the product prospectus supplement.
Section 1260. Because each Reference Asset would be treated as a “pass-thru entity” for purposes of Section 1260 of the Code, it is possible that an investment
in the Notes could be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction” within the meaning of Section 1260 of the Code. If the Notes were treated as a constructive ownership transaction certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply
(i.e., all or a portion of any long-term capital gain that you recognize upon the taxable disposition of your Notes could be recharacterized as ordinary income and you could be subject to an interest charge on deferred tax liability with respect to
such recharacterized gain). We urge you to read the discussion concerning the possible treatment of the Notes as a constructive ownership transaction under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – Section 1260” in the product prospectus
supplement.
Except to the extent otherwise required by law, TD intends to treat your Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and under “Material U.S. Federal
Income Tax Consequences” in the product prospectus supplement, unless and until such time as the Treasury and the IRS determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.
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 the holder of an instrument similar to 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, and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Code should be applied to such instruments. You are urged to consult your tax
advisor concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above considerations.
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income. U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or certain trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion
of their “net investment income” or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust, which may include any income or gain realized with respect to the Notes, to the extent of their net investment income or undistributed net
investment income (as the case may be) that when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an
unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return or the dollar amount at which the highest
tax bracket begins for an estate or trust. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the income tax. You should consult your tax advisor as to the consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets. U.S. holders may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to their Notes if they do not hold their Notes in an
account maintained by a financial institution and the aggregate value of their Notes and certain other “specified foreign financial assets” (applying certain attribution rules) exceeds an applicable threshold. Significant penalties can apply if a
U.S. holder is required to disclose its Notes and fails to do so.
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 may 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 whether any similar or identical bills will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Notes. You are urged to consult your
tax advisor regarding the possible changes in law and their possible impact on the tax treatment of your Notes.
You are urged to consult your tax advisor concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to an investment in the Notes, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase,
beneficial ownership and disposition of the Notes arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD).
Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)
We have appointed TDS, an affiliate of TD, as the Agent for the sale of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, TDS will purchase the Notes from TD at the public offering price
less an underwriting discount of up to the underwriting discount specified on the cover page hereof and may use all or a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other registered broker-dealers in connection with the distribution of
the Notes. The underwriting discount represents the selling concessions for other dealers in connection with the distribution of the Notes. The total “Underwriting Discount” and “Proceeds to TD” to be specified on the cover hereof will reflect the
aggregate of the underwriting discount at the time TD established any hedge positions on or prior to the Pricing Date, which may be variable and fluctuate depending on market conditions at such times. TD will reimburse TDS for certain expenses in
connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes, and TD will pay TDS a fee in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes.
Conflicts of Interest. TDS is an affiliate of TD and, as such, has a ‘‘conflict of interest’’ in this offering within the meaning of
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. If any other affiliate of TD, including but not limited to TD Ameritrade, Inc., participates in this offering, that affiliate will also have a “conflict of interest” within the
meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. In addition, TD will receive the net proceeds from the initial public offering of the Notes, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the Notes will be
conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, neither TDS nor any other affiliate of ours is permitted to sell the Notes in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary
authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.
We, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, we, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties may use this
pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. If a purchaser buys the Notes from us, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties, this pricing
supplement is being used in a market-making transaction unless we, TDS, another of our affiliates or third parties informs such purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale.
Prohibition of Sales to EEA and United Kingdom Retail Investors
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or
the United Kingdom. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of
Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended.
Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA or in the United Kingdom has
been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA or in the United Kingdom may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.
Additional Information Regarding the Estimated Value of the Notes
The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the Pricing Date, based on
prevailing market conditions, and will be communicated to investors in the final pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the Notes are based on our internal funding rate (which is our internal borrowing rate based on variables such as market benchmarks and our appetite for borrowing), and several
factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to TDS or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or
any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the Notes, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes and the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes. Because our internal
funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade
in the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the Notes.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the Notes. The estimated value range was determined by reference to our internal pricing models which take
into account a number of variables and are based on a number of assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of
the Notes, and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Additional Risk Factors” herein. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities
trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase
the estimated value of the Notes. For more information see the discussion under “Additional Risk Factors — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity — The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Based on Our Internal Funding Rate.”
Our estimated value on the Pricing Date is not a prediction of the price at which the Notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agent may buy or sell the Notes in
the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agent or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Notes in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Pricing Date, the price at which the Agent may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated
value on the Pricing Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 3 months after the Issue Date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations
under the Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of
factors, including the tenor of the Notes and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the
reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the Issue Date of the Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Additional Risk Factors” herein.
