Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and
Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest Performing of the common stock of
Amazon.com, Inc., the common stock of The Walt Disney Company and the common stock of
Netflix, Inc. due October 22, 2026
|
|
|
■ Linked to the lowest performing of the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., the common stock of The Walt Disney Company and the common stock of
Netflix, Inc. (each referred to as an “Underlying Stock”)
■ Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at stated maturity and are subject to potential
automatic call prior to stated maturity upon the terms described below. Whether the securities pay a contingent coupon, whether the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity and, if they are not automatically called,
whether you receive the face amount of your securities at stated maturity will depend, in each case, on the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Underlying
Stock on any calculation day is the Underlying Stock that has the lowest stock closing price on that calculation day as a percentage of its starting price
■ Contingent Coupon. The securities will pay a contingent coupon on a quarterly basis until the earlier of stated maturity or automatic call if, and only if, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the calculation day for that quarter is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price. However, if the stock closing
price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on a calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon for the relevant quarter. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing
Underlying Stock is less than its coupon threshold price on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupons throughout the entire term of the securities. The coupon threshold price for each Underlying Stock is equal to
60% of its starting price. The contingent coupon rate is 17.25% per annum
■ Automatic Call. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on any of the quarterly calculation days from April 2024 to July
2026, inclusive, is greater than or equal to its starting price, the securities will be automatically called for the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment
■ Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the face amount at stated
maturity if, and only if, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to its downside threshold price. If the stock closing
price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, you will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities. The downside threshold price for each Underlying Stock is equal to 60% of its starting price
■ If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will have full downside exposure to the lowest performing Underlying Stock from its starting price if its stock
closing price on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, but you will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock and will not receive any dividends on any Underlying Stock
■ Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Underlying Stock that is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each
calculation day. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if any Underlying Stock performs poorly,
even if the other Underlying Stocks perform favorably
■ All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of The Toronto-Dominion Bank (the “Bank”)
■ No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

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 with respect to the Market Measures with associated contingent coupons. Pursuant to this approach, any Contingent Coupon 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, 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.

Treatment:

Agents:

TD Securities (USA) LLC. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.
The Agents will receive a commission of $23.25 (2.325%) per security and will use all of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers in connection with the
distribution of the securities. The Agents may resell the securities to other securities dealers at the original offering price less a concession of $17.50 (1.75%) per security. Such securities dealers may include WFA. In addition to the
selling concession allowed to WFA, Wells Fargo Securities will pay $0.75 (0.075%) per security of the agent discount to WFA as a distribution expense fee for each security sold by WFA.
In addition, in respect of certain securities sold in this offering, we will pay a fee of up to $2.00 per security to selected securities dealers in consideration for
marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other securities dealers.
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.

Estimated Value of the Securities
|
The final terms for the securities were determined on the pricing date, as indicated under “Terms of the Securities” herein, based on prevailing market conditions on the pricing
date, and are set forth in this 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 had an adverse effect on the economic terms of the securities.
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, we have provided the estimated value for the securities. The estimated value 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 of the securities is not a prediction of the price at which the securities may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agents may
buy or sell the securities in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agents or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the securities in the secondary market but it is not obligated to do so.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the pricing date, the price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the securities in the secondary market, if any,
may exceed our estimated value on the pricing date for a temporary period expected to be approximately three months after the issue date because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a portion of the estimated cost of
hedging our obligations under the securities and other costs in connection with the securities which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the securities. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement
period on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the securities and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the securities. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way may not
be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the issue date of the securities based on changes in market conditions and other
factors that cannot be predicted.
We urge you to read the “Selected Risk Considerations” in this pricing supplement.

Investor Considerations
|
The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:
| ■ |
seek an investment with contingent coupon payments at a rate of 17.25% per annum until the earlier of stated maturity or automatic call, if, and only if, the stock closing price of the lowest
performing Underlying Stock on the applicable calculation day is greater than or equal to 60% of its starting price;
|
| ■ |
understand that if the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day has declined by more than 40% from its starting price, they will be fully exposed to the decline in the lowest performing Underlying
Stock from its starting price and will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the face amount at stated maturity;
|
| ■ |
are willing to accept the risk that they may receive few or no contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities;
|
| ■ |
understand that the securities may be automatically called prior to stated maturity and that the term of the securities may be as short as approximately six months;
|
| ■ |
understand that the return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Underlying Stock that is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each calculation day and that they will not benefit in any way from the
performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks;
|
| ■ |
understand that the securities are riskier than alternative investments linked to only one of the Underlying Stocks or linked to a basket composed of each Underlying Stock;
|
| ■ |
understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Underlying Stock;
|
| ■ |
are willing to forgo participation in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock and dividends on any Underlying Stock; 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;
|
| ■ |
require full payment of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;
|
| ■ |
seek a security with a fixed term;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to accept the risk that the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day may decline by more than 40% from its starting price;
|
| ■ |
seek certainty of current income over the term of the securities;
|
| ■ |
seek exposure to the upside performance of any or each Underlying Stock;
|
| ■ |
seek exposure to a basket composed of each Underlying Stock or a similar investment in which the overall return is based on a blend of the performances of the Underlying Stocks, rather than solely on the lowest performing Underlying Stock;
|
| ■ |
are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Underlying Stocks;
|
| ■ |
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 Underlying Stocks, please see the sections titled “The common stock of Amazon.com, Inc.,” “The common stock of The Walt Disney Company” and “The common stock of Netflix, Inc.” below.

|
Determining Payment On A Contingent Coupon Payment Date and at Maturity
|
If the securities have not been previously automatically called, on each contingent coupon payment date, you will either receive a contingent coupon payment or you will not receive
a contingent coupon payment, depending on the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the related calculation day.
Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day. The lowest performing Underlying Stock on
any calculation day is the Underlying Stock with the lowest performance factor on that calculation day. The performance factor of an Underlying Stock on a calculation day is its stock closing price on that calculation day as a percentage of its
starting price (i.e., its stock closing price on that calculation day divided by its starting price).
Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon is paid on the applicable contingent coupon payment date based on the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock
on the relevant calculation day, as follows:

|
If the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date, then at maturity you will receive (in addition to the final contingent coupon payment, if any) a cash payment
per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:
Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day. The lowest performing Underlying Stock on the
final calculation day is the Underlying Stock with the lowest performance factor on the final calculation day. The performance factor of an Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is its ending price as a percentage of its starting price (i.e.,
its ending price divided by its starting price).
Step 2: Calculate the maturity payment amount based on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock, as follows:

Hypothetical Payout Profile
|
The following profile illustrates the potential maturity payment amount on the securities (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any) for a range of hypothetical performances of the lowest
performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day from its starting price to its ending price, assuming the securities have not been automatically called prior to the stated maturity date. As this profile illustrates, in no event will you have
a positive rate of return based solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. This graph has been prepared
for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day and whether you hold your securities to stated maturity. The performance of the better
performing Underlying Stocks is not relevant to your return on the securities.

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 Securities Are Not Automatically Called Prior To Stated Maturity, You May Lose Some Or All Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Stated Maturity.
We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities at stated maturity. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive a maturity payment amount that will
be equal to or less than the face amount, depending on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
If the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, the maturity payment amount will be reduced by an amount equal to
the decline in the price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock from its starting price (expressed as a percentage of its starting price). The downside threshold price for each Underlying Stock is 60% of its starting price. For example, if the
securities are not automatically called and the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day has declined by 40.1% from its starting price to its ending price, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside protection
feature and you will lose 40.1% of the face amount. As a result, you will not receive any protection if the price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day declines significantly and you may lose some, and possibly all,
of the face amount at stated maturity, even if the price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock is greater than or equal to its starting price or its downside threshold price at certain times during the term of the securities.
Even if the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than its downside threshold price, the maturity payment amount will not exceed the face
amount, and your yield on the securities, taking into account any contingent coupon payments you may have received during the term of the securities, may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security
of the Bank or another issuer with a similar credit rating.
The Securities Do Not Provide For Fixed Payments Of Interest And You May Receive No Coupon Payments On One Or More Contingent Coupon Payment Dates, Or Even Throughout The Entire Term
Of The Securities.
On each contingent coupon payment date you will receive a contingent coupon payment if, and only if, the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying
Stock on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price. The coupon threshold price for each Underlying Stock is 60% of its starting price. If the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on
any calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date, and if the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock is less than its
coupon threshold price on each calculation day over the term of the securities, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments over the entire term of the securities.
The Securities Are Subject To The Full Risks Of Each Underlying Stock And Will Be Negatively Affected If Any Underlying Stock Performs Poorly, Even If The Other Underlying Stocks
Perform Favorably.
You are subject to the full risks of each Underlying Stock. If any Underlying Stock performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if the other Underlying Stocks perform favorably. The
securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Underlying Stocks, where the better performance of some Underlying Stocks could offset the poor performance of others. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever Underlying Stock is
the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each calculation day. As a result, the securities are riskier than an alternative investment linked to only one of the Underlying Stocks or linked to a basket composed of each Underlying Stock. You should not
invest in the securities unless you understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Underlying Stock.
Your Return On The Securities Will Depend Solely On The Performance Of The Underlying Stock That Is The Lowest Performing Underlying Stock On Each Calculation Day, And You Will Not
Benefit In Any Way From The Performance Of The Better Performing Underlying Stocks.
Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the Underlying Stock that is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on each calculation day. Although it is necessary for each
Underlying Stock to close above its respective coupon threshold price on the relevant calculation day in order for you to receive a contingent coupon payment and above its respective downside threshold price on the final calculation day for you to
receive the face amount of your securities at maturity, you will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks. The securities may underperform an alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the
Underlying Stocks, since in such case the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks would be blended with the performance of the lowest performing Underlying Stock, resulting in a better return than the return of the lowest performing
Underlying Stock alone.

|
You Will Be Subject To Risks Resulting From The Relationship Among The Underlying Stocks.
It is preferable from your perspective for the Underlying Stocks to be correlated with each other so that their prices will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by
similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Underlying Stocks will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Underlying Stocks, the more likely it is that any one of the Underlying Stocks will be
performing poorly at any time over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the Underlying Stocks to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks is not
relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship among the Underlying Stocks will be over the term of the securities. To the extent the Underlying Stocks operate in different industries or sectors of the
market, such industries and sectors may not perform similarly over the term of the securities.
You May Be Fully Exposed To The Decline In The Lowest Performing Underlying Stock On The Final Calculation Day From Its Starting Price, But Will Not Participate In Any Positive
Performance Of Any Underlying Stock.
Even though you will be fully exposed to a decline in the price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day if its ending price is below its downside threshold price, you
will not participate in any increase in the price of any Underlying Stock over the term of the securities. Your maximum possible return on the securities will be limited to the sum of the contingent coupon payments you receive, if any. Consequently,
your return on the securities may be significantly less than the return you could achieve on an alternative investment that provides for participation in an increase in the price of any or each Underlying Stock.
Higher Contingent Coupon Rates Are Associated With Greater Risk.
The securities offer contingent coupon payments at a higher rate, if paid, than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities of the same maturity. These higher potential contingent
coupon payments are associated with greater levels of expected risk as of the pricing date as compared to conventional debt securities, including the risk that you may not receive a contingent coupon payment on one or more, or any, contingent coupon
payment dates and the risk that you may lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity. The volatility of the Underlying Stocks and the correlation among the Underlying Stocks are important factors affecting this risk.
Volatility is a measurement of the size and frequency of daily fluctuations in the price of an Underlying Stock, typically observed over a specified period of time. Volatility can be measured in a variety of ways, including on a historical basis or
on an expected basis as implied by option prices in the market. Correlation is a measurement of the extent to which the prices of the Underlying Stocks tend to fluctuate at the same time, in the same direction and in similar magnitudes. Greater
expected volatility of the Underlying Stocks or lower expected correlation among the Underlying Stocks as of the pricing date may result in a higher contingent coupon rate, but it also represents a greater expected likelihood as of the pricing date
that the stock closing price of at least one Underlying Stock will be less than its coupon threshold price on one or more calculation days, such that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of the
securities, and that the stock closing price of at least one Underlying Stock will be less than its downside threshold price on the final calculation day such that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity.
In general, the higher the contingent coupon rate is relative to the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities, the greater the expected risk that you will not receive one or more, or any, contingent coupon payments during the term of
the securities and that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the face amount at maturity.
You Will Be Subject To Reinvestment Risk.
If your securities are automatically called, the term of the securities may be reduced to as short as approximately six months. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds
from an investment in the securities at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event the securities are automatically called prior to maturity.
Each Calculation Day (Including The Final Calculation Day) And The Related Call Settlement Date (Including The Stated Maturity Date) Is Subject To Market
Disruption Events And Postponements.
Each calculation day (including the final calculation day), and therefore the potential call settlement date and/or contingent coupon payment date (including the maturity date), is subject to
postponement in the case of a market disruption event or a non-trading day as described herein and in the accompanying product supplement.
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 lowest performing Underlying Stock, 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 each contingent coupon payment date, as well as the call settlement date or stated maturity
date and, therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of the Bank and to changes in the market’s view of the Bank’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in the Bank’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking
the Bank’s credit risk is likely to adversely affect the market value of the securities. If the Bank becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the securities.

Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market
The Estimated Value Of Your Securities Is Less Than The Original Offering Price Of Your Securities.
The estimated value of your securities is 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 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 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 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.

common stock of The Walt Disney Company and the common stock of Netflix, Inc. due October 22, 2026
|
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 price of the Underlying Stocks, and as a
result, you may suffer substantial losses.
If The Price Of Any Underlying Stocks Change, The Market Value Of Your Securities May Not Change In The Same Manner.
Your securities may trade quite differently from the performance of any of the Underlying Stocks. Changes in the price of any Underlying Stocks generally or the lowest performing Underlying Stock
specifically may not result in a comparable change in the market value of your securities. Even if the price of each Underlying Stock increases above its starting price 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 Underlying Stocks
Any Payments On The Securities And Whether The Securities Are Automatically Called Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Underlying Stocks 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 Underlying Stocks. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in any of the Underlying
Stocks. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the Underlying Stocks 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 any Underlying Stock. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the Underlying Stocks would have.
|
| • |
Historical Prices Of The Underlying Stocks Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Underlying Stocks During The Term Of The Securities.
|
| • |
The Securities May Become Linked To The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than An Original Underlying Stock Issuer.
|
| • |
We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Cannot Control Actions By An Underlying Stock Issuer.
|
| • |
We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Underlying Stock Issuer And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.

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.
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.

Hypothetical Returns
|
If the securities are automatically called:
If the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the face amount of your securities plus a final contingent coupon payment on the call settlement date. In the
event the securities are automatically called, your total return on the securities will equal any contingent coupon payments received prior to the call settlement date and the contingent coupon payment received on the call settlement date.
If the securities are not automatically called:
If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the following table illustrates, for a range of hypothetical performance factors of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on
the final calculation day, the hypothetical maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity per security (excluding the final contingent coupon payment, if any). The performance factor of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final
calculation day is its ending price expressed as a percentage of its starting price (i.e., its ending price divided by its starting price).

The above figures do not take into account contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities. As evidenced above, in no event will you have a positive rate of return based
solely on the maturity payment amount received at maturity; any positive return will be based solely on the contingent coupon payments, if any, received during the term of the securities.
The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, the actual amount you
will receive at stated maturity will depend on the actual ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day. The performance of the better performing Underlying Stocks is not relevant to your return on the
securities.

Hypothetical Contingent Coupon Payments
|
Set forth below are examples that illustrate how to determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called, if applicable, on a contingent
coupon payment date prior to the stated maturity date. The examples do not reflect any specific contingent coupon payment date. The following examples assume that the securities are subject to automatic call on the applicable calculation day. The
securities will not be subject to automatic call until the second calculation day, which is approximately sixth months after the issue date. The following examples reflect the contingent coupon rate of 17.25% per annum and assume the hypothetical
starting price, coupon threshold price and stock closing prices for each Underlying Stock indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting price or coupon threshold price. The
hypothetical starting price of $100.00 for each Underlying Stock has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting price for any Underlying Stock. The actual starting price and coupon threshold price for each
Underlying Stock are set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Underlying Stocks, see the historical information provided herein. These examples are for purposes of illustration
only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1. The stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon threshold price and less than its
starting price. As a result, investors receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day.
In this example, the common stock of Netflix, Inc. has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant
calculation day.
Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent
coupon payment date.
Since the hypothetical stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its coupon
threshold price, but less than its starting price, you would receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities would not be automatically called. The contingent coupon payment would be equal to
$43.13 per security, determined as follows: (i) $1,000 multiplied by 17.25% per annum divided by (ii) 4, rounded to the nearest cent.
Example 2. The stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price. As a result,
investors do not receive a contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date and the securities are not automatically called.

Underlying Stocks on the relevant calculation day are greater than their starting prices. As this example illustrates, whether you receive a contingent coupon
payment and whether the securities are automatically called on a contingent coupon payment date will depend solely on the stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day. The performance of the better
performing Underlying Stocks is not relevant to your return on the securities.
Example 3. The stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its starting price. As a result, the
securities are automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date for the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment.

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day.
In this example, the common stock of The Walt Disney Company has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation
day.
Step 2: Determine whether a contingent coupon payment will be paid and whether the securities will be automatically called on the applicable contingent coupon payment date.
Since the hypothetical stock closing price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day is greater than or equal to its starting price, the securities
would be automatically called and you would receive the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment on the applicable contingent coupon payment date, which is also referred to as the call settlement date. On the call settlement date, you would
receive $1,043.13 per security.
You will not receive any further payments after the call settlement date.

Hypothetical Payment at Stated Maturity
|
Set forth below are examples of calculations of the maturity payment amount payable at stated maturity, assuming that the securities have not been automatically called prior to stated maturity and
assuming the hypothetical starting price, coupon threshold price, downside threshold price and ending prices for each Underlying Stock indicated in the examples. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual
starting price, coupon threshold price or downside threshold price. The hypothetical starting price of $100.00 for each Underlying Stock has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting price for any
Underlying Stock. The actual starting price, coupon threshold price and downside threshold price for each Underlying Stock are set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For historical data regarding the actual closing prices of the Underlying
Stocks, see the historical information provided herein. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis.
Example 1. The ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than its starting price, the maturity payment amount is equal to the
face amount of your securities at maturity and you receive a final contingent coupon payment:

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
In this example, the common stock of Netflix, Inc. has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than its hypothetical downside threshold price, the maturity
payment amount would equal the face amount. Although the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is significantly greater than its hypothetical starting price in this scenario, the maturity
payment amount will not exceed the face amount.
In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security. In addition, because
the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than its coupon threshold price, you would receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date.

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
In this example, the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting price, but not by more than 40%, you
would receive the face amount of your securities at maturity.
In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $1,000 per security. In addition, because the hypothetical ending
price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than its coupon threshold price, you would receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date.
Example 3. The ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price and its coupon threshold price, the
maturity payment amount is less than the face amount of your securities at maturity and you do not receive a final contingent coupon payment:

Step 1: Determine which Underlying Stock is the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
In this example, the common stock of The Walt Disney Company has the lowest performance factor and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Step 2: Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.
Since the hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its hypothetical starting price by more than 40%, you would
lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive the maturity payment amount equal to $450.00 per security, calculated as follows:
= $1,000 × performance factor of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day
= $1,000 × 45.00%
= $450.00
In addition to any contingent coupon payments received during the term of the securities, on the stated maturity date you would receive $450.00 per security. Because the
hypothetical ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its coupon threshold price, you would not receive a final contingent coupon payment on the stated maturity date.
These examples illustrate that you will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlying Stock, but will be fully exposed to a decrease in the lowest performing Underlying Stock if the ending
price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than its downside threshold price, even if the ending prices of the other Underlying Stocks have appreciated or have not declined below their respective downside
threshold price.
To the extent that the starting price, coupon threshold price, downside threshold price and ending price of the lowest performing Underlying Stock differ from the values assumed above, the results
indicated above would be different.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
|
You should carefully review the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. The following discussion, when read in
combination with that section, constitutes the full opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, LLP, regarding the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of the securities.
Due to the absence of statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities
with terms that are substantially the same as the securities, no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a court will agree with the tax treatment described herein. Pursuant to the terms of the securities, the Bank and you
agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize the securities as prepaid derivative contracts that are “open transactions” with respect to the
Underlying Stocks with associated contingent coupon payments. If the securities are so treated, any contingent coupon payment paid on the securities 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, and upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your securities, you generally should recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on such
taxable disposition (adjusted for amounts or proceeds attributable to any accrued and unpaid contingent coupon payments, which would be treated as ordinary income) and your tax basis in the securities. Such gain or loss should be long-term capital
gain or loss if you have held your securities for more than one year (otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss).
Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be
reasonable to treat your securities in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the securities, it is possible that your securities could alternatively be treated for tax
purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the securities could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above, as
described further under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences – Alternative Treatments” in the product supplement.
The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts”, such as the
securities, and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. In addition, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative
contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect. You
should consult your tax adviser regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative tax treatments of the securities and potential changes in applicable law.
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.

Validity of the Securities
|
In the opinion of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, as special products counsel to TD, when the securities offered by this pricing supplement have been executed and
issued by TD and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the indenture and delivered, paid for and sold as contemplated herein, the securities will be valid and binding obligations of TD, enforceable against TD in accordance with their terms,
subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium, receivership or other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement
is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as this opinion involves matters governed by Canadian law, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver &
Jacobson LLP has assumed, without independent inquiry or investigation, the validity of the matters opined on by McCarthy Tétrault LLP, Canadian legal counsel for TD, in its opinion expressed below. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary
assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and, with respect to the securities, authentication of the securities and the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the opinion
of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP dated March 4, 2022 filed as an exhibit to the current report on Form 6-K on March 4, 2022.
In the opinion of McCarthy Tétrault LLP, the issue and sale of the securities has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of TD, and when this pricing supplement has been
attached to, and duly notated on, the master note that represents the securities, the securities will have been validly executed and issued and, to the extent validity of the securities is a matter governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, or
the laws of Canada applicable therein, will be valid obligations of TD, subject to the following limitations: (i) the enforceability of the indenture is subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, winding up, moratorium and other
similar laws of general application limiting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (ii) the enforceability of the indenture is subject to general equitable principles, including the fact that the availability of equitable remedies, such as
injunctive relief and specific performance, is in the discretion of a court; (iii) courts in Canada are precluded from giving a judgment in any currency other than the lawful money of Canada; and (iv) the enforceability of the Indenture will be
subject to the limitations contained in the Limitations Act, 2002 (Ontario), and such counsel expresses no opinion as to whether a court may find any provision of the Indenture to be unenforceable as an attempt to vary or exclude a limitation period
under that Act. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable thereto. In addition, this opinion is subject to: (i) the assumption that the senior indenture
has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of, the trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms; and (ii) customary assumptions about the genuineness of
signatures and certain factual matters all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated February 4, 2022, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.2 to the registration statement on Form F-3 filed by TD on February 4, 2022.
