The Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) has offered Autocallable Contingent Interest Barrier Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index®, the S&P 500® Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index. The Notes will pay a Contingent Interest Payment at a rate of 9.65% per annum only if the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Contingent Interest Barrier Value (70.00% of its Initial Value) on the related Contingent Interest Observation Date. If the Closing Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Contingent Interest Barrier Value on a Contingent Interest Observation Date, no Contingent Interest Payment will accrue or be payable. The Notes will be automatically called if the Closing Value of each Reference Asset is greater than or equal to its Call Threshold Value (100.00% of its Initial Value) on any Call Observation Date. If the Notes are automatically called, TD will pay a cash payment per Note equal to the Principal Amount plus any Contingent Interest Payment otherwise due. If the Notes are not automatically called, the amount paid at maturity, in addition to any Contingent Interest Payment otherwise due, will depend on the Final Value of each Reference Asset relative to its Barrier Value (65.00% of its Initial Value). Specifically, if the Final Value of any Reference Asset is less than its Barrier Value, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount for each 1% that the Final Value of the Least Performing Reference Asset is less than its Initial Value, and may lose the entire Principal Amount.

- The amounts payable on the Notes are not linked to the value of the Least Performing Reference Asset at any time other than on the Contingent Interest Observation Dates and Call Observation Dates.
- The Contingent Interest Rate reflects the volatility of each Reference Asset and may not be sufficient to compensate for the risk of loss at maturity.

Conclusion:
Investment in the Notes involves significant risks, including the potential loss of the entire principal amount. The return on the Notes is contingent upon the performance of the least performing Reference Asset and is subject to various risks, including market risk, credit risk, and tax risk. Investors should carefully consider these risks and consult with their investment, legal, tax, and accounting advisors before investing in the Notes.
