Equity Index Linked Securities
Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Minimum Return and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index due August 3, 2028
         Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index (the “Index”)
         Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than, equal to or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the Index from the starting level to the ending level. The maturity payment amount will reflect the following terms:
        If the level of the Index increases or remains unchanged, you will receive the face amount plus a positive return equal to the greater of (i) a contingent minimum return of at least 55% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount and (ii) 100% of the percentage increase in the level of the Index from the starting level to the ending level
         If the level of the Index decreases but the decrease is not more than 25%, you will receive the face amount
        If the level of the Index decreases by more than 25%, you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index from the starting level to the ending level, and you will lose more than 25% and possibly all of the face amount of your securities
         Investors may lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the face amount
         All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Bank”)
         No periodic interest payments or dividends
         No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity
The estimated value of the securities at the time the terms of your securities are set on the pricing date is expected to be between $900.00 and $935.00 per security, as discussed further under “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating to the Estimated Value of the Securities and Any Secondary Market” beginning on page P-9 and “Estimated Value of the Securities” herein. The estimated value is expected to be less than the original offering price of the securities.
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” beginning on page P-8 herein and “Risk Factors” beginning on page PS-6 of the accompanying product supplement and on page 1 of the accompanying prospectus.
The securities are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Bank, and, accordingly, all payments are subject to credit risk. The securities are not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation pursuant to the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (the “CDIC Act”) or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency of Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission or other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this pricing supplement or the accompanying product supplement and prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Agents may receive a commission of up to $38.70 (3.87%) per security and may use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers in connection with the distribution of the securities, or will offer the securities directly to investors. The Agents may resell the securities to other securities dealers at the original offering price less a concession not in excess of $30.00 (3.00%) per security. Such securities dealers may include Wells Fargo Advisors (“WFA”, the trade name of the retail brokerage business of Wells Fargo Clearing Services, LLC and Wells Fargo Advisors Financial Network, LLC), an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo Securities”). The other dealers may forgo, in their sole discretion, some or all of their selling concessions. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities may pay $1.20 (0.12%) per security of the agent discount to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA. The Bank will reimburse TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TDS”) for certain expenses in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the securities, and the Bank will pay TDS a fee in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the securities.

U.S. Tax Treatment:
 
By purchasing the securities, you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to treat the securities, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as prepaid derivative contracts that are “open transactions” with respect to the Index. Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat the securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product supplement. An investment in the securities 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 securities.
 
Canadian Tax
Treatment:
 
Please see the discussion in the product supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences,” which applies to the securities.
 
Agents:

The Agents may receive a commission of up to $38.70 (3.87%) per security and may use a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers in connection with the distribution of the securities, or will offer the securities directly to investors. The Agents may resell the securities to other securities dealers at the original offering price less a concession not in excess of $30.00 (3.00%) per security. Such securities dealers may include WFA. In addition to the selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities may pay $1.20 (0.12%) per security of the agent discount to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA.
In addition, in respect of certain securities sold in this offering, we may pay a fee of up to $1.00 per security to selected securities dealers in consideration for marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other securities dealers.
The price at which you purchase the securities includes costs that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to incur and profits that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the securities, as set forth above. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for the securities. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your securities on the pricing date. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices” in this pricing supplement.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Minimum Return and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index due August 3, 2028
Estimated Value of the Securities
The final terms for the securities will be determined on the date the securities are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date, as indicated under “Terms of the Securities” herein, based on prevailing market conditions on the pricing date, and will be communicated to investors in the final pricing supplement.
The economic terms of the securities are based on our internal funding rate (which is our internal borrowing rate based on variables such as market benchmarks and our appetite for borrowing), and several factors, including any sales commissions expected to be paid to TDS or another affiliate of ours, any selling concessions, discounts, commissions or fees expected to be allowed or paid to non-affiliated intermediaries, the estimated profit that we or any of our affiliates expect to earn in connection with structuring the securities, estimated costs which we may incur in connection with the securities and an estimate of the difference between the amounts we pay to an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities and the amounts that an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities pays to us in connection with hedging your securities as described further under “Terms of the Securities—Agents” herein and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating To Hedging Activities And Conflicts Of Interest” in the accompanying product supplement. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected to have an adverse effect on the economic terms of the securities.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value range for the securities. The estimated value range was determined by reference to our internal pricing models which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), price-sensitivity analysis, time to maturity of the securities, and our internal funding rate. For more information about the estimated value, see “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market” herein. Because our internal funding rate generally represents a discount from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities rather than the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market is expected, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, to increase the estimated value of the securities. For more information see the discussion under “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market — The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.”
Our estimated value on the pricing date is not a prediction of the price at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agents may buy or sell the securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agents or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately five months after the issue date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the securities. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the securities. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the issue date of the securities based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Minimum Return and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index due August 3, 2028
Investor Considerations
The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:
seek a contingent minimum return at maturity of at least 55% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the face amount if the ending level is greater than or equal to the starting level;
seek the possibility of a return at maturity greater than the contingent minimum return if the percentage increase in the level of the Index from the starting level to the ending level is greater than the contingent minimum return;
desire repayment of the face amount at maturity so long as the ending level is not less than the starting level by more than 25%;
are willing to accept the risk that, if the ending level is less than the starting level by more than 25%, they will be fully exposed to the decrease in the level of the Index from the starting level, and will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the face amount per security at maturity;
understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of the Index;
are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the securities included in the Index; and
are willing to hold the securities until maturity.
The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:
seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;
are unwilling to accept the risk that the ending level of the Index may decrease from the starting level by more than 25%;
seek a greater contingent minimum return at maturity than the minimum provided by the terms of the securities;
seek full return of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;
are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price and that may be as low as the lower estimated value set forth on the cover page;
seek current income;
are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Index;
seek exposure to the Index but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the maturity payment amount for the securities;
are unwilling to accept the credit risk of the Bank; or
prefer the lower risk of conventional fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

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

Selected Risk Considerations
The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.
Risks Relating To The Securities Generally
If The Ending Level Is Less Than The Threshold Level, You Will Lose More Than 25%, And Possibly All, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.
We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the stated maturity date. The maturity payment amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the ending level of the Index relative to the starting level and the other terms of the securities. Because the level of the Index will be subject to market fluctuations, the maturity payment amount may be more or less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount of your securities.
If the ending level is less than the threshold level, the maturity payment amount will be less than the face amount and you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Index from the starting level. The threshold level is 75% of the starting level. For example, if the Index has declined by 25.1% from the starting level to the ending level, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside protection feature and you will lose 25.1% of the face amount per security. As a result, you will not receive any contingent downside protection if the ending level of the Index declines below the threshold level and you will lose more than 25%, and possibly all, of the face amount per security at maturity. This is the case even if the level of the Index is greater than or equal to the starting level or the threshold level at certain times during the term of the securities.
You Will Receive The Contingent Minimum Return Only If The Ending Level Is Greater Than Or Equal To The Starting Level.
You will receive the contingent minimum return only if the ending level is greater than or equal to the starting level. If the ending level is less than the starting level, then you will not receive the contingent minimum return.
No Periodic Interest Will Be Paid On The Securities.
No periodic payments of interest will be made on the securities. However, if the agreed-upon tax treatment is successfully challenged by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), you may be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the securities. You should review the section of this pricing supplement entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”.
The Return On Your Securities May Change Significantly Despite Only A Small Change In The Level Of The Index.
If the ending level is less than the threshold level, you will receive less than the face amount of your securities and you will lose at least 25% and possibly all of the face amount per security. This means that while a decrease in the ending level to the threshold level will not result in a loss of principal on the securities, a decrease in the ending level to less than the threshold level will result in a loss of a significant portion of the face amount of the securities despite only a small change in the level of the Index. Similarly, if the ending level is equal to the starting level, you will receive the face amount of your securities plus a return equal to the contingent minimum return, whereas any decrease in the level of the Index below the starting level, but not below the threshold level, will result in receiving only the face amount of your securities. In that scenario, you will not receive a positive return on your securities.
Risks Relating To An Investment In the Bank’s Debt Securities, Including The Securities
Investors Are Subject To The Bank’s Credit Risk, And The Bank’s Credit Ratings And Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect The Market Value Of The Securities.
Although the return on the securities will be based on the performance of the Index, the payment of any amount due on the securities is subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The securities are the Bank’s senior unsecured debt obligations. Investors are dependent on the Bank’s ability to pay all amounts due on the securities on the stated maturity date and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of the Bank and to changes in the market’s view of the Bank’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in the Bank’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking the Bank’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities. If the Bank becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Minimum Return and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index due August 3, 2028
Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Expected To Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is expected to be less than the original offering price of your securities. The difference between the original offering price of your securities and the estimated value of the securities reflects costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities. Because hedging our obligations entails risks and may be influenced by market forces beyond our control, this hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than expected, or a loss.
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Based On Our Internal Funding Rate.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is determined by reference to our internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the securities generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, our view of the funding value of the securities as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the securities in comparison to those costs for our conventional, fixed-rate debt, as well as estimated financing costs of any hedge positions, taking into account regulatory and internal requirements. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate we would pay for our conventional, fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, we would expect the economic terms of the securities to be more favorable to you. Additionally, assuming all other economic terms are held constant, the use of an internal funding rate for the securities is expected to increase the estimated value of the securities at any time.
The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Based On Our Internal Pricing Models, Which May Prove To Be Inaccurate And May Be Different From The Pricing Models Of Other Financial Institutions.
The estimated value of your securities on the pricing date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables, such as our internal funding rate on the pricing date, and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis and may or may not materialize. Further, our pricing models may be different from other financial institutions’ pricing models and the methodologies used by us to estimate the value of the securities may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of the securities in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your securities may be materially less than the estimated value of the securities determined by reference to our internal pricing models. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Not A Prediction Of The Prices At Which You May Sell Your Securities In The Secondary Market, If Any, And Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely Be Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities And May Be Less Than The Estimated Value Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of the securities is not a prediction of the prices at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions (if they are willing to purchase, which they are not obligated to do). The price at which you may be able to sell your securities in the secondary market at any time, if any, may be based on pricing models that differ from our pricing models and will be influenced by many factors that cannot be predicted, such as market conditions and any bid and ask spread for similar sized trades, and may be substantially less than our estimated value of the securities. Further, as secondary market prices of your securities take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market and do not take into account our various costs and expected profits associated with selling and structuring the securities, as well as hedging our obligations under the securities, secondary market prices of your securities will likely be less than the original offering price of your securities. As a result, the price at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the securities from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be less than the price you paid for your securities, and any sale prior to the stated maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.
The Temporary Price At Which We May Initially Buy The Securities In The Secondary Market May Not Be Indicative Of Future Prices Of Your Securities.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market (if the Agents make a market in the securities, which they are not obligated to do) may exceed the estimated value of the securities on the pricing date, as well as the secondary market value of the securities, for a temporary period after the pricing date of the securities, as discussed further under “Estimated Value of the Securities”. The price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your securities.

The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses And Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely To Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.
Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the securities will likely be less than the original offering price. The original offering price includes, and any price quoted to you is likely to exclude, the underwriting discount paid in connection with the initial distribution, offering expenses as well as the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a

P-9

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Minimum Return and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index due August 3, 2028
discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction. In addition, because an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities is to conduct hedging activities for us in connection with the securities, that affiliate may profit in connection with such hedging activities and such profit, if any, will be in addition to the compensation that the dealer receives for the sale of the securities to you. You should be aware that the potential to earn fees in connection with hedging activities may create a further incentive for the dealer to sell the securities to you in addition to the compensation they would receive for the sale of the securities.
There May Not Be An Active Trading Market For The Securities — Sales In The Secondary Market May Result In Significant Losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the securities. The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any electronic communications network. The Agents and their respective affiliates may make a market for the securities; however, they are not required to do so. The Agents and their respective affiliates may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a secondary market for the securities develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices for your securities in any secondary market could be substantial.
If you sell your securities before the stated maturity date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the principal amount irrespective of the level of the Index, and as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
If The Level Of The Index Changes, The Market Value Of Your Securities May Not Change In The Same Manner.
Your securities may trade quite differently from the performance of the Index. Changes in the level of the Index may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your securities. Even if the level of the Index increases above the starting level during the term of the securities, the market value of your securities may not increase by the same amount and could decline.
Risks Relating To The Index
The Index Is Comprised of Index Constituent Stocks that Are Traded in a Non-U.S. Currency But Are Not Adjusted to Reflect Their U.S. Dollar Value and, Therefore, the Return on Your Securities Will Not Be Adjusted for Changes in the Applicable Exchange Rate.
Because the Index constituent stocks are traded in a non-U.S. currency but are not adjusted to reflect their U.S. dollar value, the maturity payment amount will not be adjusted for changes in the non-U.S. currency/U.S. dollar exchange rate. The maturity payment amount will be based solely upon the overall change in the level of the Index over the term of your securities from the pricing date to the calculation day. Changes in the applicable exchange rate, however, may reflect changes in the economy of the countries in which the Index constituent stocks are listed that, in turn, may adversely affect the level of the Index and therefore the market value of, and return on, the securities.
The Securities Are Subject to Risks Associated with Non-U.S. Securities Markets.
The value of your securities is linked to the Index and the Index constituent stocks, which are traded in one or more non-U.S. securities markets. Investments linked to the value of non-U.S. equity securities involve particular risks. Any non-U.S. securities market may be less liquid, more volatile and affected by global or domestic market developments in a different way than are the U.S. securities market or other non-U.S. securities markets. Both government intervention in a non-U.S. securities market, either directly or indirectly, and cross-shareholdings in non-U.S. companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in that market. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies than about those U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC. Further, non-U.S. companies are likely subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
The prices of securities in a non-U.S. country are subject to political, economic, financial and social factors that are unique to such non-U.S. country's geographical region. These factors include: recent changes, or the possibility of future changes, in the applicable non-U.S. government's economic and fiscal policies; the possible implementation of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other laws or restrictions applicable to non-U.S. companies or investments in non-U.S. equity securities; fluctuations, or the possibility of fluctuations, in currency exchange rates; and the possibility of outbreaks of hostility, political instability, natural disaster or adverse public health developments. The United Kingdom ceased to be a member of the European Union on January 31, 2020 (an event commonly referred to as “Brexit”). The effect of Brexit remains uncertain, and, among other things, Brexit has contributed, and may continue to contribute, to volatility in the prices of securities of companies located in Europe (or elsewhere) and currency exchange rates, including the valuation of the euro and British pound in particular. Any one of these factors, or the combination of more than one of these or other factors, could negatively affect such non-U.S. securities market and the prices of securities therein. Further, geographical regions may react to global factors in different ways, which may cause the prices of securities in a non-U.S. securities market to fluctuate in a way that differs from those of securities in the U.S. securities market or other non-U.S. securities markets. Non-U.S. economies may also differ from the U.S. economy in important respects, including growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency, which may have a negative effect on non-U.S. securities prices.
The Index Reflects Price Return Only And Not Total Return.
The return on your securities is based on the performance of the Index, which reflects the changes in the market prices of the index constituent stocks. It is not, however, linked to a “total return” index or strategy, which, in addition to reflecting those price returns, would
P-10

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Minimum Return and Contingent Downside

also reflect dividends paid on the index constituent stocks. The return on your securities will not include such a total return feature or dividend component.

The Maturity Payment Amount Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Index And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.


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


Historical Levels Of The Index Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Index During The Term Of The Securities.

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

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

Risks Relating To Canadian And U.S. Federal Income Taxation
The Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.
Significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities are uncertain. You should read carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” herein and in the product supplement. You should consult your tax advisors as to the tax consequences of your investment in the securities. An investment in the securities 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 securities.
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the securities, please see the discussion in the product 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 securities in the secondary market, you should consult your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the securities and receiving the payments that might be due under the securities.

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Minimum Return and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index due August 3, 2028
Hypothetical Examples
Example 1. Maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return that is equal to the contingent minimum return, which is greater than the index return:
   
 EURO STOXX 50®
Index
 
Hypothetical starting level:
100.00
 
Hypothetical ending level:
110.00
 
Hypothetical threshold level:
75.00
 
Hypothetical index return
(ending level – starting level)/starting level:
10.00%
Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than or equal to the hypothetical starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the greater of:
(i) contingent minimum return of $550.00; and
(ii) $1,000 × index return × upside participation rate
$1,000 × 10.00% × 100.00%
= $100.00
Accordingly, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,550.00 per security.
Example 2. Maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return equal to the index return, which is greater than the contingent minimum return:
   
 EURO STOXX 50®
Index
 
Hypothetical starting level:
100.00
 
Hypothetical ending level:
175.00
 
Hypothetical threshold level:
75.00
 
Hypothetical index return
(ending level – starting level)/starting level:
75.00%
Because the hypothetical ending level is greater than or equal to the hypothetical starting level, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus a positive return equal to the greater of:
(i) contingent minimum return of $550.00; and
(ii) $1,000 × index return × upside participation rate
$1,000 × 75.00% × 100.00%
= $750.00
Accordingly, on the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,750.00 per security.

Example 3. The ending level is less than the starting level but is greater than the threshold level, and the maturity payment amount is equal to the face amount:
   
 EURO STOXX 50®
Index
 
Hypothetical starting level:
100.00
 
Hypothetical ending level:
90.00
 
Hypothetical threshold level:
75.00
 
Hypothetical index return
(ending level – starting level)/starting level:
-10.00%
Because the hypothetical ending level is less than the hypothetical starting level, but not by more than 25%, you would not lose any of the face amount of your securities and would not receive a positive return on your securities.
On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,000.00 per security.
Example 4. The ending level is less than the threshold level, and the maturity payment amount is less than the face amount:
   
 EURO STOXX 50®
Index
 
Hypothetical starting level:
100.00
 
Hypothetical ending level:
50.00
 
Hypothetical threshold level:
75.00
 
Hypothetical index return
(ending level – starting level)/starting level:
-50.00%
Because the hypothetical ending level is less than the hypothetical starting level by more than 25%, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to:
$1,000 + ($1,000 × index return)
$1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%)
= $500.00
On the stated maturity date, you would receive $500.00 per security.

You are urged to make your own investigation into the Index.
The EURO STOXX 50® Index
The EURO STOXX 50® Index (or the “SX5E”) is a free-float market capitalization-weighted index of 50 European blue-chip stocks. The 50 stocks included in the SX5E trade in euros, and are allocated based on their country of incorporation, primary listing and largest trading volume, to one of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain, which we refer to collectively as the Eurozone. Companies allocated to a Eurozone country but not traded in Euros are not eligible for inclusion in the SX5E. The SX5E was created by and is sponsored and maintained by STOXX Limited. Publication of the SX5E began on February 26, 1998, based on an initial index value of 1,000 at December 31, 1991. The level of the SX5E is disseminated on the STOXX Limited website. STOXX Limited is under no obligation to continue to publish the SX5E and may discontinue publication of it at any time. Additional information regarding the SX5E (including the top constituents and weights, sector weights and country weights) may be obtained from the STOXX Limited website: stoxx.com. We are not incorporating by reference the website or any material it includes in this pricing supplement.
SX5E Composition
The SX5E is composed of 50 Reference Asset Constituents chosen by STOXX Limited from the 20 EURO STOXX Supersector indices, which represent the Eurozone portion of the STOXX Europe 600 Supersector indices. The 20 supersector indices from which stocks are selected for the SX5E are Automobiles & Parts, Banks, Basic Resources, Chemicals, Construction & Materials, Consumer Products & Services, Financial Services, Food, Beverages and Tobacco, Health Care, Industrial Goods & Services, Insurance, Media, Energy, Personal Care, Drug & Grocery Stores, Real Estate, Retailers, Technology, Telecommunications, Travel & Leisure and Utilities, although stocks from each of these supersectors are not necessarily included at a given time.
Component Selection
The composition of the SX5E is reviewed by STOXX Limited annually in September. Within each of the 20 EURO STOXX Supersector indices, the respective Reference Asset Constituents are ranked by free-float market capitalization. The largest stocks are added to the selection list until the coverage is close to, but still less than, 60% of the free-float market capitalization of the corresponding EURO STOXX Total Market Index Supersector Index. If the next highest-ranked stock brings the coverage closer to 60% in absolute terms, then it is also added to the selection list. All remaining stocks that are current SX5E components are then added to the selection list. The stocks on the selection list are then ranked by free-float market capitalization. The 40 largest stocks on the selection list are chosen as Reference Asset Constituents. The remaining 10 stocks are then selected from the largest current stocks ranked between 41 and 60. If the number of Reference Asset Constituents is still below 50, then the largest remaining stocks on the selection list are added until the SX5E contains 50 stocks. In exceptional cases, the STOXX Limited Management Board may make additions and deletions to the selection list.
Ongoing Maintenance of Reference Asset Constituents
The Reference Asset Constituents of the SX5E are monitored on an ongoing monthly basis for deletion and quarterly basis for addition. Changes to the composition of the SX5E due to corporate actions (including mergers and takeovers, spin—offs, sector changes and bankruptcy) are announced immediately, implemented two trading days later and become effective on the next trading day after implementation.
The Reference Asset Constituents of the SX5E are subject to a “fast exit” rule. A Reference Asset Constituent is deleted if it ranks 75 or below on the monthly selection list and it ranked 75 or below on the selection list of the previous month. Additionally, any Reference Asset Constituents that are not traded for 10 trading days, are suspended from trading for 10 consecutive days or more and have not announced a resumption trading date, are officially delisted or are the subject of ongoing bankruptcy proceedings will be deleted from the SX5E. The highest-ranked non-constituent will replace the exiting Reference Asset Constituent. The SX5E is also subject to a “fast entry” rule. All stocks on the latest selection lists and initial public offering (IPO) stocks are reviewed for a fast-track addition on a quarterly basis. A stock is added if it qualifies for the latest blue-chip selection list generated at the end of February, May, August or November and if it ranks within the lower buffer (between 1 and 25) on the selection list. If added, the stock replaces the smallest Reference Asset Constituent.
A deleted stock is replaced immediately to maintain the fixed number of stocks. The replacement is based on the latest monthly selection list. In the case of a merger or takeover where a Reference Asset Constituent is involved, the original Reference Asset Constituent is replaced by the new Reference Asset Constituent. Generally, non-surviving stock(s) are deleted at the last traded price of the security. If any non-surviving stock is not trading anymore (delisted or suspended before its deletion), a new artificial price based on the

P-16

Market Linked Securities—Upside Participation with Contingent Minimum Return and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index due August 3, 2028
acquisition/merger terms is calculated and the company is kept/deleted with this price instead of the last traded one. For the calculation of the artificial price only ordinary cash and stock terms will be used. Other instruments such as contingent value rights will not be considered. In the case of a spin-off, if the original stock was a Reference Asset Constituent, then each spin-off stock qualifies for addition if it lies within the upper buffer (between 1 and 40) on the latest selection list. The largest qualifying spin-off stock replaces the original Reference Asset Constituent, while the next qualifying spin-off stock replaces the lowest ranked Reference Asset Constituent and likewise for other qualifying spin-off stocks.
The free float factors and outstanding number of shares for each Reference Asset Constituent that STOXX Limited uses to calculate the SX5E, as described below, are reviewed, calculated and implemented on a quarterly basis and are fixed until the next quarterly review. Certain extraordinary adjustments to the free float factors and/or the number of outstanding shares are implemented and made effective more quickly. The timing depends on the magnitude of the change. Each component’s weight is capped at 10% of the SX5E’s total free float market capitalization. The free float factor reduces the Reference Asset Constituent’s number of shares to the actual amount available on the market. All holdings that are larger than five percent of the total outstanding number of shares and held on a long-term basis are excluded from the index calculation (including, but not limited to, stock owned by the company itself, stock owned by governments, stock owned by certain individuals or families, and restricted shares).
Index Calculation
STOXX Limited calculates the SX5E using the “Laspeyres formula,” which measures the aggregate price changes in the Reference Asset Constituents against a fixed base quantity weight. The discussion below describes the “price return” calculation of the SX5E. The formula for calculating the SX5E value can be expressed as follows:
SX5E
=
Free Float Market Capitalization of the SX5E

   
 Divisor
 
The “free float market capitalization of the SX5E” is equal to the sum of the product of the price, the number of shares, the free float factor and the weighting cap factor for each Reference Asset Constituent as of the time the SX5E is being calculated. The Reference Asset Constituents trade in Euros and thus, no currency conversion is required. Where any Reference Asset Constituent price is unavailable on any trading day, STOXX Limited will generally use the last reported price for such Reference Asset Constituent.
In case the investability and tradability of the index and index based products is affected by an upcoming market or company event that is considered significant or “extreme” by the STOXX Management Board, the following actions or a combination of the following actions are taken. For all such changes a minimum notification period of two full trading days will be observed. The action scope may include but is not limited to:

application of expert judgment for Reference Asset Constituent pricing data,

adjustment of operational procedures,

postponement of index adjustments,

adjustment of selection lists,

change of weights of Reference Asset Constituents by adjusting the number of shares, free-float factors or weighting cap-factors, or

adjustment of index compositions.
EURO STOXX 50® Divisor
The SX5E is calculated using a divisor that helps to maintain the continuity of the index’s value so that corporate actions do not artificially increase or decrease the level of the SX5E.
The divisor is calculated by starting with the previous divisor in effect for the SX5E (which we call the “original divisor value”) and multiplying it by a fraction, the numerator of which is the previous free float market capitalization of the SX5E, plus or minus the difference between the closing market capitalization of the SX5E and the adjusted closing market capitalization of the SX5E, and the denominator of which is the previous free float market capitalization of the SX5E. The adjusted free float market capitalization is calculated for stocks of companies that have experienced a corporate action of the type described below as of the time the new divisor value is being calculated using the free float market capitalization calculated with adjusted closing prices, the new number of shares, and the new free float factor minus the free float market capitalization calculated with that stock’s original closing price, number of shares, and free float factor, in each case as used in calculating the original divisor value. Errors in divisor calculation are corrected on an intraday basis if discovered on the same day the new divisor is effective. If the error is discovered later, the error is corrected on an intraday basis if feasible and only if the error is considered significant by the STOXX Limited Management Board.

Divisor Adjustments
STOXX Limited adjusts the divisor for the SX5E to maintain the continuity of the SX5E values across changes due to corporate actions. Changes in weights due to corporate actions are distributed proportionally across all Reference Asset Constituents and equal an investment into the portfolio. The following is a summary of the adjustments to any Reference Asset Constituent made for corporate actions and the effect of such adjustments on the divisor, where shareholders of the Reference Asset Constituent will receive “B” new shares for every “A” share held (where applicable) and assuming that the version of the index to which your notes are linked is the price return version. All adjusted prices consider withholding taxes based on the new shares being distributed, using “B * (1 – withholding tax where applicable)”.
(1) Special cash dividend:
Adjusted price = closing price – dividend announced by the company * (1 - withholding tax if applicable)
Divisor: decreases
(2) Split and reverse split:
Adjusted price = closing price * A / B
New number of shares = old number of shares * B / A
Divisor: no change
(3) Rights offering:
Adjusted price = (closing price * A + subscription price * B) / (A + B)
New number of shares = old number of shares * (A + B) / A
Divisor: increases
If the subscription price is not available or if the subscription price is equal to or greater than the closing price on the day before the effective date, then no adjustment is made.
If the subscription price is available as a price range and not as a fixed price, the price and share adjustment is performed only if both lower and upper range are in the money. The average value between lower and upper range will be used as a subscription price.
Extremely dilutive rights issues having a share ratio larger or equal to 2000% (B/A>20) are treated as follows:
STOXX Limited will announce the deletion of the company from the index following the standard rules for index
replacements if sufficient notice of two trading days before the ex-date can be given.
The company may enter the SX5E again at the next periodic index review, but only after the new rights issue shares have been listed.
Extremely dilutive rights issues for which two trading days’ notice before the ex-date cannot be given, and all highly dilutive rights issues having a share ratio larger or equal to 200% (B/A>2) are treated as follows:

The rights issue shares are included into the index with a theoretical price on the ex-date;

The rights issue shares must be listed on an eligible stock exchange and tradable starting on the ex-date, otherwise, only a price adjustment is made and the rights are not included;

The rights issue shares will have the same parameters as the parent company;

The rights issue shares will be removed at the close of the day they start to trade with traded price being available; and

The number of shares and weighting factors will be increased after the new rights issue shares have been listed.
(4) Stock dividend:
Adjusted price = closing price * A / (A + B)
New number of shares = old number of shares * (A + B) / A
Divisor: no change
(5) Stock dividend from treasury stock if treated as extraordinary dividend:
Adjusted close = close – close * B / (A + B)
Divisor: decreases
(6) Stock dividend (from redeemable shares) if treated as extraordinary dividend.
Stock dividends from redeemable shares will be adjusted as cash dividends. In such a case redeemable shares are considered as:

Divisor: decreases
(9) Repurchase of shares / self-tender:
Adjusted price = [(price before tender * old number of shares) – (tender price * number of tendered shares)] / (old number of shares – number of tendered shares)
New number of shares = old number of shares – number of tendered shares
Divisor: decreases
(10) Spinoff:
Adjusted price = (closing price * A – price of spin–off shares * B) / A

(11) Combination stock distribution (dividend or split) and rights offering:
For this corporate action, the following additional assumptions apply:
Shareholders receive B new shares from the distribution and C new shares from the rights offering for every A share held; and
If A is not equal to one, all the following “new number of shares” formulae need to be divided by A.
If rights are applicable after stock distribution (one action applicable to another):
Adjusted price = [closing price * A + subscription price * C * (1 + B / A)] / [(A + B) * (1 + C / A)]
New number of shares = old number of shares * [(A + B) * (1 + C / A)] / A
Divisor: increases
If stock distribution is applicable after rights (one action applicable to another):
Adjusted price = (closing price * A + subscription price * C) / [(A + C) * (1 + B / A)]
New number of shares = old number of shares * [(A + C) * (1 + B / A)]

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
You should carefully review the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. The following discussion, when read in combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.
Due to the absence of statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the securities, no assurance can be given that the IRS or a court will agree with the tax treatment described herein. Pursuant to the terms of the securities, the Bank and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize the securities as prepaid derivative contracts that are “open transactions” with respect to the Index. If the securities are so treated, upon the taxable disposition of your securities, you generally should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such taxable disposition and your tax basis in the securities. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year (otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss). The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.
Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat your securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – Alternative Treatments” in the product supplement.
The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”, such as the securities, and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.
An investment in the securities is not appropriate for non-U.S. holders because such an investment may result in significant adverse tax consequences. In particular, persons having withholding responsibility in respect of the securities may withhold on any coupon paid to you, generally at a rate of 30%, and to the extent that we have (or an affiliate of ours has) withholding responsibility in respect of the securities, we intend to so withhold. This discussion does not otherwise address the tax consequences to non-U.S. holders of the ownership or disposition of the securities.
