DTC settlement day following the Pricing Date.
|
Maturity Date:
|
January 11, 2025, subject to
redemption by TD prior to the Maturity Date as set forth below under “Redemption”. If the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, the Payment at Maturity will be paid on the next Business Day.
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
If the Notes have not been redeemed by us, as described elsewhere in this pricing supplement, TD will pay you the Principal Amount of your Notes plus
any accrued and unpaid interest.
|
Interest Rate:
|
5.35% per annum, payable on each Interest Payment Date, in arrears from and including the Issue Date to but excluding the Maturity Date
|
Interest Payment Dates:
|
The 11th calendar day of each month, commencing on January 11, 2024 and ending on the Maturity Date or Optional Call Date (if applicable). If an Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, interest shall be
paid on the next Business Day, without adjustment for period end dates and no interest shall be paid in respect of the delay.
|
Day Count Fraction:
|
30/360
For the avoidance of doubt, each month is deemed to have 30 days and each year is deemed to have 360 days. Therefore, each interest period is deemed to
have 30 days and each year is deemed to have 360 days, resulting in equal interest payments.
|
Redemption:
|
The Notes are redeemable by TD, in whole, but not in part, on any Optional Call Date at 100% of their Principal Amount together with accrued and unpaid
interest (if any) from, and including, the previous Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the applicable Optional Call Date. TD will provide written notice to DTC at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Optional Call
Date. In the event TD gives notice to DTC of its intention to redeem the Notes, the decision to give such notice will be subject to the prior approval of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions if such redemption would lead to a breach
of TD’s Total Loss Absorbing Capacity requirements.
|
Optional Call Dates:
|
The 11th calendar day of each month,
commencing on September 11, 2024 and ending on the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date. If an Optional Call Date is not a Business Day, then the Notes will be redeemed on the next Business Day and no interest shall
be paid in respect of the delay.
|
Business Day:
|
Any day that is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized
or required by law to close in New York City.
|
U.S. Tax Treatment:
|
The Notes should be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as fixed rate debt instruments that are issued without original issue discount, as
discussed further herein under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”.
|
Canadian Tax Treatment:
|
Please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences—Canadian Taxation”, which applies to the Notes. In addition to the assumptions,
limitations and conditions described therein, such discussion assumes that no amount paid or payable to a Non-resident Holder in respect of the Notes will be the deduction component of a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” under which the payment
arises within the meaning of proposed paragraph 18.4(3)(b) of the Canadian Tax Act (as defined in the prospectus) contained in proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act released by the Minister of Finance (Canada) on April 29, 2022 (the
“Hybrid Mismatch Proposals”). Investors should note that the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals are in consultation form, are highly complex, and there remains significant uncertainty as to their interpretation and application. There can be no
assurance that the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals will be enacted in their current form, or at all. We will not pay any additional amounts as a result of any withholding required by reason of the Hybrid Mismatch Proposals.

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

Our Central Index Key, or CIK, on the SEC website is 0000947263. As used in this pricing supplement, the “Bank,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to The
Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries.
We reserve the right to change the terms of, or reject any offer to purchase, the Notes prior to their issuance. In the event of any changes to the terms of the Notes, we will
notify you and you will be asked to accept such changes in connection with your purchase. You may also choose to reject such changes, in which case we may reject your offer to purchase.
Additional Risk Factors
The Notes involve risks not associated with an investment in ordinary fixed rate notes. This section describes the most significant risks relating to the terms
of the Notes. For additional information as to these risks, please see the prospectus supplement and the prospectus.
Investors should consult their investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors as to the risks entailed by an investment in the Notes and the suitability
of the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.
Risks Relating to Structure and Credit Characteristics
Investors Are Subject to Our Credit Risk, and Our Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect the Market Value of the Notes.
Investors are dependent on TD’s ability to pay all amounts due on the Notes on an Optional Call Date, Interest Payment Date and the Maturity Date, and,
therefore, investors are subject to the credit risk of TD and to changes in the market’s view of TD’s creditworthiness. Any decrease in TD’s credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking TD’s credit risk is
likely to adversely affect the market value of the Notes. If TD becomes unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due, investors may not receive any amounts due under the terms of the Notes.
The Notes Are Subject to Early Redemption at TD's Option.
TD has the option to redeem the Notes on any Optional Call Date as set forth above. It is more likely that we will redeem the Notes prior to the Maturity Date
in the event that the interest payable on the Notes is greater than the interest that would be payable on our other instruments of a comparable maturity, terms and credit rating trading in the market. If the Notes are redeemed prior to the Maturity
Date, you may have to re-invest the proceeds in a lower rate environment.
An Investment in the Notes May Be More Risky Than an Investment in Notes With a Shorter Term.
The Notes will mature on the Maturity Date, subject to our right to redeem the Notes beginning on the first Optional Call Date. By purchasing Notes with a
longer term, you will bear greater exposure to fluctuations in interest rates than if you purchased a note with a shorter term. In particular, you may be negatively affected if interest rates begin to rise, because investors have neither the right
to redeem the Notes early nor the right to cause TD to redeem the Notes early and the Interest Rate on the Notes may be less than the interest you could earn on other investments with a similar level of risk available at such time. In addition, if
you tried to sell your Notes at such time, the value of your Notes in any secondary market transaction would also be adversely affected.
Risks Relating to Valuation and Liquidity
The Underwriting Discount, Offering Expenses and Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.
Assuming no changes in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which you may be able to sell the Notes will likely be less than
the public offering price. The public 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 Notes. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs, such as a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge
transaction.
There May Not Be an Active Trading Market for the Notes — Sales in the Secondary Market May Result in Significant Losses.
There may be little or no secondary market for the Notes. The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange or any electronic communications
network. TD Securities (USA) LLC and other affiliates of TD may make a market for the Notes; however, they are not required to do so. TD Securities (USA) LLC or any other affiliate of TD may stop any market-making activities at any time. Even if a
secondary market for the Notes develops, it may not provide significant liquidity or trade at prices advantageous to you. We expect that transaction costs in any secondary market would be high. As a result, the difference between bid and ask prices
for your Notes in any secondary market could be substantial. If you sell your Notes before the Maturity Date, you may have to do so at a substantial discount from the Issue Price and, as a result, you may suffer substantial losses.
The Temporary Price at Which the Underwriter May Initially Buy The Notes in the Secondary Market May Exceed Other Secondary Market Values
and, Depending on Your Broker, the Valuation Provided on Your Customer Account Statements May Not Be Indicative of Future Prices of Your Notes.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Pricing Date, the price at which the Underwriter may initially buy or sell the Notes in the
secondary market (if the Underwriter makes a market in the Notes, which it is not obligated to do) may, for a temporary period after the Pricing Date of the Notes, exceed the secondary market value of the Notes, as discussed further under
“Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest).” During this temporary period such prices may, depending on your broker, be greater than the valuation provided on your customer account statements; you should inquire with your broker as
to the valuation provided on your customer account statement. The price at which the Underwriter may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes.
Risks Relating to Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Taxation
Significant Aspects of the Tax Treatment of the Notes May Be Uncertain.
The U.S. tax treatment of the Notes may be uncertain. Please read carefully the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” below. You should consult your tax
advisors about your tax situation.
For a discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the Notes, please see the discussion in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences—Canadian Taxation”
and the further discussion herein under “Summary”. If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) for Canadian federal income tax purposes or if you acquire the Notes in the secondary market, you should consult
your tax advisors as to the consequences of acquiring, holding and disposing of the Notes and receiving the payments that might be due under the Notes.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences
General The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax
consequences to U.S. Holders of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of the Notes. This discussion replaces the federal income tax discussions in the prospectus supplement and prospectus. The discussion herein does not address the
consequences to taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a Note that is:
|
• |
an individual who is a citizen or a resident of the U.S., for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
|
|
• |
a corporation (or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the U.S. or any State thereof
(including the District of Columbia);
|
|
• |
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
|
|
• |
a trust if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration, and one or more U.S. persons, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, have the authority to
control all of its substantial decisions.
|
For purposes of this summary, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a Note that is:
|
• |
a nonresident alien individual for federal income tax purposes;
|
|
• |
a foreign corporation for federal income tax purposes; or
|
|
• |
an estate or trust whose income is not subject to federal income tax on a net income basis.
|
An individual may, subject to certain exceptions, be deemed to be a resident of the U.S. for U.S. federal income tax purposes by reason of being present in the
U.S. for 31 days or more in the calendar year and for an aggregate of 183 days or more during a three year period ending in the current calendar year (counting for such purposes all of the days present in the current year, one third of the days
present in the immediately preceding year, and one sixth of the days present in the second preceding year).
This summary is based on interpretations of the Code, regulations issued thereunder, and rulings and decisions currently in effect (or in some cases proposed),
all of which are subject to change. Any such change may be applied retroactively and may materially and adversely affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein. In addition, this summary addresses only holders that purchase Notes
at initial issuance, and own Notes as capital assets and not as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “synthetic security,” or a “conversion transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes or as part of some other integrated investment.
This summary does not discuss all of the tax consequences (such as any alternative minimum tax consequences) that may be relevant to particular investors or to
investors subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (such as banks, thrifts or other financial institutions; insurance companies; securities dealers or brokers, or traders in securities electing mark-to-market treatment;
regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts; small business investment companies; S corporations; partnerships; or investors that hold their Notes through a partnership or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes; holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar; certain former citizens or residents of the U.S.; retirement plans or other tax-exempt entities, or persons holding the Notes in tax-deferred or tax-advantaged accounts;
persons that purchase or sell the Notes as part of a wash sale for tax purposes; or “controlled foreign corporations” or “passive foreign investment companies” for U.S. federal income tax purposes). This summary also does not address the tax
consequences to shareholders, or other equity holders in, or beneficiaries of, a holder, or any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the Notes. Persons considering the purchase of Notes should
consult their tax advisors concerning the application of U.S. federal income tax laws to their particular situations as well as any consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of Notes arising under the laws of any state,
local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Treatment of the Notes
The Notes should be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes, with interest payments on the Notes taxable to a U.S. Holder as ordinary
interest income at the time it accrues or is received in accordance with the U.S. Holder’s normal method of accounting for tax purposes. By purchasing the Notes, you agree to treat the Notes consistent with our treatment for all U.S. federal income
tax purposes. We do not plan to request a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding the tax treatment of the Notes, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax
treatment described in this pricing supplement. We urge you to consult your tax advisors as to the tax consequences of your investment in the Notes.
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 the Notes should be treated in the manner described above. However, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes is uncertain.
Sale, Exchange, Early Redemption or Maturity of the Notes
Upon the disposition of a Note by sale, exchange, early redemption, maturity or other taxable disposition, a U.S. Holder should generally recognize taxable gain or loss equal to
the difference between (1) the amount realized on such taxable disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but untaxed interest) and (2) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a Note
generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s cost of the Note. Because the Note is held as a “capital asset”, as defined in Section 1221 of the Code, such gain or loss will generally constitute capital gain or loss. Capital gain of a non-corporate U.S.
Holder is generally taxed at preferential rates where the holder has a holding period of greater than one year. The deductibility of a capital loss realized on the taxable disposition of a Note is subject to limitations.
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income
U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or certain trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” or
“undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust, which may include any income or gain realized with respect to the Notes, to the extent of their net investment income or undistributed net investment income (as the case may
be) that, when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate
return or the dollar amount at which the highest tax bracket begins for an estate or trust. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the income tax. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of the
3.8% Medicare tax.
Specified Foreign Financial Assets
Certain U.S. Holders that own “specified foreign financial assets” in excess of an applicable threshold may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to
such assets with their tax returns, especially if such assets are held outside the custody of a U.S. financial institution. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of this reporting obligation to their ownership
of the Notes.
Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders
In general and subject to the discussion below, payments on the Notes to a Non-U.S. Holder and gain realized on the sale, exchange, early redemption, maturity
or other taxable disposition of the Notes by a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax, unless (1) such income is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by such Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S.,
(2) in the case of gain, such Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual who holds the Notes as a capital asset and is present in the U.S. for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the sale and certain other conditions are satisfied, (3)
such Non-U.S. Holder fails to provide the relevant correct, complete and executed IRS Form W-8 or (4) such Non-U.S. Holder has certain other present or former connections with the U.S.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Interest paid on, and the proceeds received from a sale, exchange, early redemption, maturity or other taxable disposition of Notes held by a U.S. Holder will
be subject to information reporting unless the U.S. Holder is an “exempt recipient” and may also be subject to backup withholding if the holder fails to provide certain identifying information (such as an accurate taxpayer number) or meet certain
other conditions. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.
Payments of principal and interest on, and proceeds from the taxable disposition of, Notes held by a Non-U.S. Holder to or through certain brokers may be
subject to a backup withholding tax on “reportable payments” unless, in general, such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain procedures or is an exempt recipient. Any such amounts so withheld from distributions on the Notes generally will be
refunded by the IRS or allowed as a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder’s federal income tax, provided such Non-U.S. Holder makes a timely filing of an appropriate tax return or refund claim. Reports will be made to the IRS and to holders that are
not excepted from the reporting requirements.
U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders
A Note may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual Non-U.S. Holder holds the Note at the time of his or her death. The gross estate of a Non-U.S.
Holder domiciled outside the U.S. includes only property situated in the U.S. Individual Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of holding the Notes at death.
Both U.S. and Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, as well as any
tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction (including that of TD).
Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)
We have appointed TD Securities (USA) LLC, an affiliate of TD, as the agent for the sale of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, TD
Securities (USA) LLC will purchase the Notes from TD at the public offering price less an underwriting discount of up to the Underwriting Discount set forth on the cover hereof for distribution to other registered broker-dealers. Such other
registered broker-dealers will offer the Notes at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement. Certain dealers who purchase the Notes for sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts may forgo some or all of
their selling concessions, fees or commissions. The public offering price for investors purchasing the Notes in these accounts may be as low as $990.00 (99.00%) per Note. TD Securities (USA) LLC will receive a commission of up to $12.00 (1.20%) per
Note and may use all or a portion of that commission to allow selling concessions to other dealers in connection with the distribution of the Notes. The other dealers may forgo, in their sole discretion, some or all of their selling concessions.
The total “Underwriting Discount” and “Proceeds to TD” to be specified on the cover hereof will reflect the aggregate of the Underwriting Discount per Note at the time TD established any hedge positions on or prior to the Pricing Date, which may be
variable and fluctuate depending on market conditions at such times.
Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Pricing Date, the price at which the Underwriter may initially buy or sell the Notes in the
secondary market, if any, may, for a temporary period expected to be approximately 13 months after the Issue Date, exceed the secondary market value of the Notes because, in our discretion, we may elect to effectively reimburse to investors a
portion of the estimated cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. This discretionary election and the temporary reimbursement
period are determined on the basis of a number of factors, including the tenor of the Notes and any agreement we may have with the distributors of the Notes. The amount of our estimated costs which we effectively reimburse to investors in this way
may not be allocated ratably throughout the reimbursement period, and we may discontinue such reimbursement at any time or revise the duration of the reimbursement period after the Issue Date of the Notes based on changes in market conditions and
other factors that cannot be predicted.
Conflicts of Interest. TD Securities (USA) LLC is an affiliate of TD and, as such,
has a “conflict of interest” in this offering within the meaning of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) Rule 5121. If any other affiliate of TD, including but not limited to TD Ameritrade, Inc., participates in this offering,
that affiliate will also have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. In addition, TD will receive the net proceeds from the initial public offering of the Notes, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the
meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. This offering of the Notes will be conducted in compliance with the provisions of FINRA Rule 5121. In accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, neither TDS nor any other affiliate of ours is permitted to sell the Notes in this
offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.
We may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, TD Securities (USA) LLC or another of our affiliates may use this pricing
supplement in a market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. Unless we or our agent informs the purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of
sale, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction.
Prohibition of Sales to EEA and United Kingdom Retail Investors
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor
in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); (ii) a customer
within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Directive 2003/71/EC, as
amended. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “EU PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been
prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the EU PRIIPs Regulation.
The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the United
Kingdom (the “UK”). For these purposes, a retail investor in the UK means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (8) of Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 2017/565 as it forms part of domestic law by virtue of the
European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, subject to amendments made by the Markets in Financial Instruments (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2018 (SI 2018/1403), as may be amended or superseded from time to time (the “EUWA”); (ii) a customer within
the meaning of the provisions of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (the “FSMA”) and any rules or regulations made under the FSMA to implement Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client, as
defined in point (8) of Article 2(1) of Regulation (EU) No 600/2014 as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Article 2 of the Prospectus Regulation as it forms part of domestic law
by virtue of the EUWA (“UK Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently, no key information document required by the PRIIPs Regulation as it forms part of UK domestic law by virtue of the EUWA (the “UK PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Notes
or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the UK has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under the UK PRIIPs Regulation.
