The Debt Securities, Common Shares, Preferred Shares and Warrants (collectively, the "Securities") offered hereby may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be set forth in an accompanying shelf prospectus supplement (a "Prospectus Supplement"). All shelf information omitted from this short form base shelf prospectus (the "Prospectus") will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus. The Bank may sell up to U.S. $1,500,000,000 in aggregate initial offering price of Securities (or the U.S. dollar equivalent thereof if any of the Securities are denominated in a foreign currency or currency unit) in the United States during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments thereto, remains valid. All currency amounts in this Prospectus are stated in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

        The specific terms of the Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is being delivered will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and may include, where applicable: (i) in the case of Debt Securities, the specific designation, aggregate principal amount, the currency or the currency unit for which the Debt Securities may be purchased, maturity, interest provisions, authorized denominations, offering price, any terms for redemption at the option of the Bank or the holder, any exchange or conversion terms and any other specific terms; (ii) in the case of Common Shares, the number of shares and offering price; (iii) in the case of Preferred Shares, the designation of the particular series, aggregate principal amount, the number of shares offered, the issue price, the dividend rate, the dividend payment dates, any terms for redemption at the option of the Bank or the holder, any exchange or conversion terms and any other specific terms; and (iv) in the case of Warrants, the designation, number and terms of the Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, any procedures that will result in the adjustment of these numbers, the exercise price, dates and periods of exercise, the currency in which the Warrants are issued and any other specific terms.

        The outstanding Common Shares are currently listed on the Toronto, New York and Tokyo stock exchanges and the outstanding Preferred Shares Series M, N and O are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

        The Securities may be sold through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals, through agents designated by the Bank (such underwriters, dealers and agents are collectively referred to in this Prospectus as "Investment Dealers" and individually as an "Investment Dealer") or by the Bank directly pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions, from time to time. See "Plan of Distribution". Each Prospectus Supplement will identify each Investment Dealer engaged in connection with the offering and sale of those Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement relates, and will also set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities including the net proceeds to the Bank and, to the extent applicable, any fees payable to the Investment Dealers. The offerings are subject to approval of certain legal matters on behalf of the Bank by McCarthy Tétrault LLP and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP.

        Warrants will not be offered for sale to any member of the public in Canada unless the Prospectus Supplement describing the specific terms of the Warrants to be offered is first approved for filing by each of the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in Canada where the Warrants will be offered for sale.


        The Debt Securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Bank constituting subordinated indebtedness for the purposes of the Bank Act (Canada) (the "Bank Act") and will not constitute deposits that are insured under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada) or by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

        This offering is made by a foreign issuer that is permitted, under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included or incorporated herein have been prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles, and may be subject to Canadian auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

        Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully herein.

        The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Bank is organized under the laws of Canada, that most of its officers and directors, and some of the experts named in this Prospectus, may be residents of Canada and that most of the assets of the Bank and of such persons may be located outside the United States.

        Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved these Securities, or determined if this Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

        This Prospectus, including those documents incorporated by reference, may contain forward-looking statements. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbour" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding the Bank's objectives and targets, and strategies to achieve them, the outlook for the Bank's business lines, and the Bank's anticipated financial performance. The economic assumptions for each of our business segments are set out in the Bank's Annual Report. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "estimate", "plan", "may" and "could". By their very nature, these statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, general and specific, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause such differences include: the credit, market, liquidity, interest rate, operational, reputational, insurance, strategic, foreign exchange, regulatory, legal and other risks discussed in the management discussion and analysis section of the Bank's Annual Report and in other regulatory filings made in Canada and with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); general business and economic conditions in Canada, the United States and other countries in which the Bank conducts business, as well as the effect of changes in monetary policy in those jurisdictions and changes in the foreign exchange rates for the currencies of those jurisdictions; the degree of competition in the markets in which the Bank operates, both from established competitors and new entrants; legislative and regulatory developments; the accuracy and completeness of information the Bank receives on customers and counterparties; the development and introduction of new products and services in markets; developing new distribution channels and realizing increased revenue from these channels; the Bank's ability to execute its integration, growth and acquisition strategies, including those of its subsidiaries, particularly in the U.S.; changes in accounting policies and methods the Bank uses to report its financial condition, including uncertainties associated with critical accounting assumptions and estimates; the effect of applying future accounting changes; global capital market activity; the Bank's ability to attract and retain key executives; reliance on third parties to provide components of the Bank's business infrastructure; technological changes; change in tax laws; unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings; continued negative impact of the United States securities litigation environment; unexpected changes in consumer spending and saving habits; the possible impact on the Bank's businesses of international conflicts and terrorism; acts of God, such as earthquakes; the effects of disease or illness on local, national or international economies; the effects of disruptions to public infrastructure, such as transportation, communications, power or water supply; and management's ability to anticipate and manage the risks associated with these factors and execute the Bank's strategies. A substantial amount of the Bank's business involves making loans or otherwise committing resources to specific companies,

3


industries or countries. Unforeseen events affecting such borrowers, industries or countries could have a material adverse effect on the Bank's financial results, businesses, financial condition or liquidity. The preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible factors. Other factors could also adversely affect the Bank's results. For more information, see the Bank's Annual Report. All such factors should be considered carefully when making decisions with respect to the Bank, and undue reliance should not be placed on the Bank's forward-looking statements. The Bank does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on its behalf. See "Risk Factors".

THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK

General

        The Bank is a Canadian chartered bank subject to the provisions of the Bank Act and was formed on February 1, 1955 through the amalgamation of The Bank of Toronto (established in 1855) and The Dominion Bank (established in 1869). The Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively known as TD Bank Financial Group. TD Bank Financial Group serves more than 14 million customers in four key businesses operating in a number of locations in key financial centres around the globe: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking including TD Canada Trust; Wealth Management including TD Waterhouse and an investment in TD Ameritrade; Wholesale Banking, including TD Securities; and U.S. Personal and Commercial Banking through TD Banknorth. TD Bank Financial Group also ranks among the world's leading on-line financial services firms with more than 4.5 million on-line customers.

        The Bank's head office and registered office are located in the Toronto Dominion Bank Tower, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto, Ontario, M5K 1A2.

        The ownership by the Bank, either directly or through its subsidiaries, of the voting and non-voting securities of its principal subsidiaries is set out on pages 114 and 115 of the Annual Report. On November 20, 2006, the Bank announced its intention to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of TD Banknorth that it does not already own. The acquisition will be accounted for by the purchase method. The offer provides minority shareholders of TD Banknorth cash of U.S.$32.33 per TD Banknorth share. Total consideration will be approximately $3.6 billion (U.S.$3.2 billion). The offer is subject to approval by the regulators and the TD Banknorth shareholders, including an affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of the outstanding common shares not held by the Bank or its affiliates, and, if approved, is expected to close by April 30, 2007. Upon completion of the going-private transaction, TD Banknorth would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank.

        Additional information regarding the Bank is incorporated by reference into this Prospectus. See "Documents Incorporated by Reference".

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEBT SECURITIES

        The following is a summary of the material attributes and characteristics of the subordinated indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by the Debt Securities, which does not purport to be complete. Reference is made to the Trust Indenture referred to below for the full text of such attributes and characteristics. A copy of the Trust Indenture may be obtained on request from the Corporate Secretary of the Bank at the following address: Toronto Dominion Bank Tower, Toronto-Dominion Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5K 1A2 (telephone: (416) 308-6963) and is also available electronically at www.sedar.com.

        The Debt Securities will be issued as one or more series of debentures pursuant to the provisions of a trust indenture dated as of November 1, 2005 between the Bank and Computershare Trust Company of Canada as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented from time to time (including by supplemental indentures to be entered into with respect to each offering of Debt Securities) (collectively, the "Trust Indenture"). The aggregate principal amount of debentures (including the Debt Securities) that may be issued under the Trust Indenture is unlimited. In addition, the Bank may offer Debt Securities by way of another trust indenture, the terms of which would be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering of Debt Securities.

        The Debt Securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Bank, constituting subordinated indebtedness for the purposes of the Bank Act, ranking at least equally with other subordinated indebtedness of the Bank from time to time issued and outstanding. In the event of the insolvency or winding-up of the Bank, the indebtedness evidenced by debentures issued by the Bank, including the Debt Securities, will be subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the deposit liabilities of the Bank and all other liabilities of the Bank except liabilities which by their terms rank in right of payment equally with or subordinate to indebtedness evidenced by such debentures.

        The Debt Securities will not constitute deposits that are insured under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (Canada) or by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

        The specific variable terms of any offering of Debt Securities (including, where applicable and without limitation, the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities being offered, the currency or currency unit, the issue and delivery date, the maturity date, the issue price, the interest rate (either fixed or floating and, if floating, the manner of calculation thereof), the interest payment date(s), any redemption, conversion, exchange, sinking fund or repurchase provisions, the name of any Investment Dealer involved in the distribution of the Debt Securities, the compensation payable to any Investment Dealer, the method of distribution, the form (either global book-entry form or certificated form) and the proceeds to the Bank) will be set forth in the Prospectus Supplement that will accompany this Prospectus. The Bank reserves the right to set forth in a Prospectus Supplement specific variable terms of any offering of Debt Securities which are not within the options and parameters set forth in this Prospectus.

        The Trust Indenture provides that the Bank will not create, issue or incur any indebtedness subordinate in right of payment to the deposit liabilities of the Bank which, in the event of the insolvency or winding-up of the Bank, would rank prior in right of payment to the Debt Securities.

        The Trust Indenture provides that an event of default in respect of the Debt Securities will occur only if the Bank becomes insolvent or bankrupt or resolves to wind-up or liquidate or is ordered wound-up or liquidated. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee may, in its discretion and shall upon the request of holders of not less than one-quarter of the principal amount of a series of Debt Securities then outstanding

8

under the Trust Indenture, declare the principal of and interest on all outstanding Debt Securities of such series to be immediately due and payable. There will be no right of acceleration in the case of a default in the payment of interest or a default in the performance of any other covenant of the Bank in the Trust Indenture, although a legal action could be brought to enforce such covenant.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, each offering of Debt Securities will be issued in "book-entry only" form. See "Book-Entry Only Securities".

        The Trust Indenture and the rights of the holders of debentures issued pursuant to the Trust Indenture, including the Debt Securities, may in certain circumstances be modified, if authorized by extraordinary resolution. For that purpose, among others, the Trust Indenture contains provisions making extraordinary resolutions binding upon all holders of debentures. "Extraordinary resolution" is defined, in effect, as a resolution passed at a meeting of holders of the debentures by the favourable votes of the holders of not less than 662/3% of the principal amount of debentures voted on the resolution at such meeting at which a quorum, as specified in the Trust Indenture, is present, or as a resolution contained in one or more instruments in writing signed by the holders of not less than 662/3% of the principal amount of the then outstanding debentures. Provision is made in the Trust Indenture for additional approval by the same percentage of the holders of a series of debentures if the rights of the holders of such series are affected in a manner or to an extent substantially different from those of other series. The Bank may also offer Debt Securities by way of another trust indenture, the terms of which would be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering of Debt Securities.

        Rights of a holder of a Debt Security represented by a global certificate in book-entry form, including voting rights, must be exercised through a CDS Participant or DTC Participant (each as defined below) in accordance with the rules and procedures of CDS or DTC (each as defined below), as applicable. See "Book-Entry Only Securities".

        The Trust Indenture does not contain any restriction on the aggregate amount of subordinated indebtedness which may be issued thereunder.

        The Trust Indenture and the Debt Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein. The Bank may also offer Debt Securities by way of another trust indenture, the terms of which would be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering of Debt Securities.


DESCRIPTION OF COMMON SHARES

        The authorized common share capital of the Bank consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without nominal or par value, of which 717,416,225 were outstanding as at October 31, 2006. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to vote at all meetings of the shareholders of the Bank except meetings at which only holders of a specified class or series of shares are entitled to vote. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Bank, subject to the preference of the holders of the preferred shares (including the Preferred Shares) of the Bank. After payment to the holders of the preferred shares of the Bank of the amount or amounts to which they may be entitled, and after payment of all outstanding debts, the holders of Common Shares shall be entitled to receive the remaining property of the Bank upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up thereof.

9



DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED SHARES

        The following describes certain general terms and provisions of the Preferred Shares. The particular terms and provisions of a series of Preferred Shares offered by a Prospectus Supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply thereto, will be described in such Prospectus Supplement.

        The Preferred Shares may be issued from time to time, in one or more series, with such rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions as the Board of Directors of the Bank may determine. Currently, there are 14,000,000 Preferred Shares, Series M, 8,000,000 Preferred Shares, Series N and 17,000,000 Preferred Shares, Series O outstanding.

        The Preferred Shares rank prior to the Common Shares and to any other shares of the Bank ranking junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Bank. Each series of Preferred Shares ranks on a parity with every other series of Preferred Shares.

        Pursuant to the Bank Act, the Bank may not, without the approval of the holders of the Preferred Shares, create any class of shares ranking prior to or on a parity with the Preferred Shares.

        Approval of amendments to the provisions of the Preferred Shares as a class may be given in writing by the holders of all the outstanding Preferred Shares or by a resolution carried by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at a meeting at which the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Preferred Shares are present or represented by proxy or, if no quorum is present at such meeting, at an adjourned meeting at which the shareholders then present or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called.

        In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Bank, before any amounts shall be paid to or any assets distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or shares of any other class of the Bank ranking junior to the Preferred Shares, the holder of a Preferred Share of a series shall be entitled to receive to the extent provided for with respect to such Preferred Shares by the conditions attaching to such series: (i) an amount equal to the amount paid up thereon; (ii) such premium, if any, as has been provided for with respect to the Preferred Shares of such series; and (iii) all unpaid cumulative dividends, if any, on such Preferred Shares and, in the case of non-cumulative Preferred Shares, all declared and unpaid non-cumulative dividends. After payment to the holders of the Preferred Shares of the amounts so payable to them, they shall not be entitled to share in any further distribution of the property or assets of the Bank. Each series of Preferred Shares ranks on a parity with every other series of Preferred Shares.

        There are no voting rights attaching to the Preferred Shares except to the extent provided in any series or by the Bank Act.

        The Bank may not, without the prior approval of the holders of the Preferred Shares, create or issue (i) any shares ranking in priority to or on a parity with the Preferred Shares; or (ii) any additional series of Preferred Shares unless at the date of such creation or issuance all cumulative dividends and any declared and unpaid

10

non-cumulative dividends shall have been paid or set apart for payment in respect of each series of Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding.


DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

        The following describes certain general terms and provisions that will apply to the Warrants. The particular terms and provisions of Warrants offered by a Prospectus Supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below apply to such Warrants, will be described in such Prospectus Supplement.

        Warrants may be offered separately or together with Preferred Shares. Each series of Warrants will be issued under a separate indenture (each, a "Warrant Indenture") in each case between the Bank and a trustee determined by the Bank. The statements below relating to any Warrant Indenture and the Warrants to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof, are not complete and are subject to, and qualified by reference to all provisions of the applicable Warrant Indenture. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will include details of the Warrant Indenture with respect to the Warrants being offered. Reference is made to the applicable Prospectus Supplement which will accompany this Prospectus for the terms and other information with respect to the offering of Warrants being offered thereby.

        The particular terms and provisions of each issue of Warrants providing for the issuance of Preferred Shares on exercise of Warrants will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement and may include the designation, number and terms of the Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, any procedures that will result in the adjustment of these numbers, the exercise price, dates and periods of exercise, the currency in which the Warrants are issued and any other specific terms of the Warrants.


BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SECURITIES

        Securities issued in "book-entry only" form must be purchased, transferred or redeemed through participants ("CDS Participants") in the depository service of CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or a successor or its nominee (collectively, "CDS"), except that Securities issued in the United States generally must be purchased, transferred or redeemed through participants ("DTC Participants") in the depository service of The Depository Trust Company or a successor or its nominee (collectively, "DTC"), as described below. Each of the Investment Dealers named in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement offering securities in "book-entry only" form will be a CDS Participant. On the closing of a book-entry only offering, the Bank will cause a global certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of Securities subscribed for under such offering to be delivered to, and registered in the name of, CDS. Except as described below, no purchaser of Securities will be entitled to a certificate or other instrument from the Bank or CDS evidencing that purchaser's ownership thereof, and no purchaser will be shown on the records maintained by CDS except through a book-entry account of a CDS Participant acting on behalf of such purchaser. Each purchaser of Securities will receive a customer confirmation of purchase from the Investment Dealer from which the Securities are purchased in accordance with the practices and procedures of that Investment Dealer. The practices of Investment Dealers may vary, but generally customer confirmations are issued promptly after execution of a customer order. Reference in this Prospectus to a holder of Securities means, unless the context otherwise requires, the owner of the beneficial interest in the Securities.

        CDS will be responsible for establishing and maintaining book-entry accounts for CDS Participants having interests in the Securities. If (i) the book-entry only system ceases to exist, (ii) the Bank determines that CDS is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Securities and the Bank is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (iii) the Bank at its option elects, or is required by applicable law or the rules of any securities exchange, to withdraw the Securities from the book-entry only system, then physical certificates representing the Securities will be issued to holders thereof or their nominees.

11


        Transfers of ownership, conversions or redemptions of Securities will be effected only through records maintained by CDS for such Securities with respect to interests of CDS Participants and on the records of CDS Participants with respect to interests of persons other than CDS Participants. Holders of Securities who are not CDS Participants, but who desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of or other interests in the Securities, may do so only through CDS Participants. The ability of a holder to pledge Securities or otherwise take action with respect to such holder's interest in Securities (other than through a CDS Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.

        The Bank will make, or cause to be made, payments of principal, redemption price, if any, dividends and interest, as applicable, on Securities to CDS as the registered holder of the Securities and the Bank understands that the payment will be forwarded by CDS to CDS Participants in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of CDS. As long as CDS is the registered owner of the Securities, CDS will be considered the sole owner of the Securities for the purposes of receiving notices or payments on the Securities. As long as the Securities are held in the CDS book-entry only system, the responsibility and liability of the Bank in respect of the Securities is limited to making payments of principal, redemption price, if any, dividends and interest, as applicable, on the Securities to CDS, as registered holder of the Securities. The Bank expects that CDS, upon receipt of any payment in respect of Securities, will credit CDS Participants' accounts in amounts proportionate to their respective interests in the principal amount of such Securities as shown on the records of CDS in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of CDS. The Bank also expects that payments by CDS Participants to the owners of beneficial interests in Securities held through such CDS Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, and will be the responsibility of such CDS Participants. The rules governing CDS provide that it acts as the agent and depository for the CDS Participants. As a result, CDS Participants must look solely to CDS, and persons other than CDS Participants having an interest in Securities must look solely to CDS Participants, for payments or deliveries made by or on behalf of the Bank to CDS in respect of such Securities.

        Each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of CDS and, if such beneficial owner is not a CDS Participant, on the procedures of the CDS Participant through which such beneficial owner owns its interest, to exercise any rights with respect to the Securities. The Bank understands that under existing policies of CDS and industry practices, if the Bank requests any action of a beneficial owner or if a beneficial owner desires to give any notice or take any action which a registered holder is entitled to give or take with respect to the Securities, CDS would authorize the CDS Participant acting on behalf of the beneficial owner to give such notice or to take such action, in accordance with the procedures established by CDS or agreed to from time to time by the Bank, any Trustee and CDS. Any beneficial owner that is not a CDS Participant must rely on the contractual arrangement it has directly, or indirectly through its financial intermediary, with its CDS Participant to give such notice or take such action.

        None of the Bank, the Investment Dealers, the Trustee or any other trustee (in the case of Debt Securities) will assume liability or responsibility for (i) any aspect of the records relating to the beneficial ownership of the Securities held by CDS or the payments or deliveries relating thereto, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the Securities, or (iii) any advice or representation made by or with respect to CDS relating to the rules governing CDS or any action to be taken by CDS or at the direction of CDS Participants.

The Depository Trust Company

        On the closing of a book-entry only offering made in the United States, the Bank will cause a global certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of Securities subscribed for under such offering to be delivered to, and registered in the name of, DTC. Purchasers of such Securities may only hold interests in the global certificates through DTC if they are DTC Participants. Purchasers may also hold interests through a securities intermediary — banks, brokerage houses and other institutions that maintain securities accounts for customers — that has an account with DTC. DTC will maintain accounts showing the Security holdings of its DTC Participants, and these DTC Participants will in turn maintain accounts showing the Security holdings of

12


their customers. Some of these customers may themselves be intermediaries holding Securities for their customers. Thus, each beneficial owner of a book-entry Security will hold that Security indirectly through a hierarchy of intermediaries, with DTC at the "top" and the beneficial owner's own securities intermediary at the "bottom."

        The Securities of each beneficial owner of a book-entry Security will be evidenced solely by entries on the books of the beneficial owner's securities intermediary. The actual purchaser of the Securities will generally not be entitled to have the Securities represented by the global Securities registered in its name and will not be considered the owner. In most cases, a beneficial owner will also not be able to obtain a paper certificate evidencing the holder's ownership of Securities. The book-entry system for holding securities eliminates the need for physical movement of certificates and is the system through which most publicly-traded securities are held in the United States. However, the laws of some jurisdictions require some purchasers of securities to take physical delivery of their securities in definitive form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer book-entry interests in the Securities.

        A beneficial owner of book-entry Securities represented by a global security held by DTC will have its Securities exchanged for definitive (paper) Securities only if: (i) the book-entry only system ceases to exist in the United States, (ii) the Bank determines that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Securities and the Bank is unable to locate a qualified successor in the United States, or (iii) the Bank at its option elects, or is required by applicable law or the rules of the SEC, to withdraw the Securities from the book-entry only system in the United States.

        Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, any global Security that is exchangeable will be exchangeable in whole for definitive Securities in registered form, with the same terms and of an equal aggregate principal amount. Definitive Securities will be registered in the name or names of the person or persons specified by DTC in a written instruction to the registrar of the Securities. DTC may base its written instruction upon directions it receives from DTC Participants.

        In this Prospectus, for book-entry Securities held through DTC, references to actions taken by Security holders will mean actions taken by DTC upon instructions from DTC Participants, and references to payments and notices of redemption to Security holders will mean payments and notices of redemption to DTC as the registered holder of the Securities for distribution to DTC Participants in accordance with DTC's procedures.

        DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered under section 17A of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The rules applicable to DTC and the DTC Participants are on file with the SEC.

        The Bank will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the book-entry Securities held through DTC or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests held through DTC.


BANK ACT RESTRICTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON PAYMENT OF DIVIDENDS

        The Bank Act contains restrictions on the issue, transfer, acquisition, beneficial ownership and voting of all shares of a chartered bank. For example, no person shall be a major shareholder of a bank if the bank has equity of $5 billion or more (which would include the Bank). A person is a major shareholder of a bank where: (i) the aggregate of shares of any class of voting shares owned by that person, by entities controlled by that person and by any person associated or acting jointly or in concert with that person is more than 20% of that class of voting shares; or (ii) the aggregate of shares of any class of non-voting shares beneficially owned by that person, by entities controlled by that person and by any person associated or acting jointly or in concert with that person is more than 30% of that class of non-voting shares. No person shall have a significant interest in any class of shares of a bank, including the Bank, unless the person first receives the approval of the Minister of Finance (Canada). For purposes of the Bank Act, a person has a significant interest in a class of shares of a bank where the aggregate of any shares of the class beneficially owned by that person, by entities controlled by that person and by any person associated or acting jointly or in concert with that person exceeds 10% of all of the

13


outstanding shares of that class of shares of such bank. Purchasers of Securities (and CDS Participants) may be required to furnish declarations relating to ownership (and ownership by clients of such CDS Participants) in a form prescribed by the Bank.

        Under the Bank Act, the Bank cannot redeem or purchase any of its shares, including the Preferred Shares, unless the consent of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) (the "Superintendent") has been obtained. In addition, the Bank Act prohibits a payment to purchase or redeem any shares or the declaration of a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Bank is, or the payment would cause the Bank to be, in contravention of the capital adequacy and liquidity regulations of the Bank Act or directions of the Superintendent. The Superintendent administers a restriction under the Bank Act on the Bank's ability to pay dividends on the Common Shares or Preferred Shares which assesses the ongoing maintenance by the Bank of satisfactory regulatory capital and liquidity.

        The Bank is also restricted in the event that either TD Capital Trust or TD Capital Trust II (both subsidiaries of the Bank) fails to pay semi-annual distributions in full to holders of Capital Trust Securities or TD Capital Trust II Securities, respectively. In addition, the ability to pay dividends on the Common Shares without the approval of the holders of the outstanding Preferred Shares is restricted unless all dividends on the Preferred Shares have been declared and paid or set apart for payment.


EARNINGS COVERAGE

        The following earnings coverage ratios do not reflect the issuance of any Securities under this Prospectus.

        The Bank's interest requirements on all subordinated notes and debentures, and liabilities for preferred shares and capital trust securities after adjustment for new issues and retirement, amounted to $547 million for the 12 months ended October 31, 2006. The Bank reported a net income, before interest on subordinated debt and liabilities for preferred shares and capital trust securities and income taxes of $6,066 million for the 12 months ended October 31, 2006, which was 11.1 times the Bank's interest requirements. On an adjusted earnings basis, the Bank's net income before interest on subordinated debt and liabilities for preferred shares and capital trust securities and income taxes was $5,071 million, which was 9.3 times its interest requirements. The Bank's financial results are prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The Bank refers to results prepared in accordance with GAAP as "reported" results. The Bank also utilizes "adjusted" earnings to assess each of its businesses and to measure overall Bank performance. To arrive at adjusted earnings, the Bank removes "items of note", net of tax, from reported earnings. The items of note relate to items which management does not believe are indicative of underlying business performance. The items of note include the Bank's amortization of intangible assets which primarily relates to the TD Banknorth acquisition in March 2005, the acquisition of Hudson United Bancorp by TD Banknorth in 2006 and the Canada Trust acquisition in fiscal 2000. Previously, the Bank described adjusted earnings as earnings before the amortization of intangibles and items of note. The Bank believes that adjusted earnings provide the reader with a better understanding of how management views the Bank's performance. As explained, adjusted earnings are different from reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted earnings and related terms are not defined terms under GAAP, and therefore may not be comparable to similar terms used by other issuers. Please see page 13 of the Bank's Annual Report for a reconciliation between the Bank's adjusted earnings and its reported results.


PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        The Bank may sell Securities to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principal, and also may sell Securities to one or more purchasers directly or through agents. Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers.

        A Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of any offering of Securities, including the name or names of any Investment Dealers, the initial public offering price, the proceeds to the Bank, any underwriting discount or commission to be paid to any Investment Dealers and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid by any Investment Dealers to other investment dealers.

14


        The Securities may be sold directly by the Bank at such prices and upon such terms as agreed to by the Bank and the purchaser or through agents designated by the Bank from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of the Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by the Bank to such agent will be set forth, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, any agent is acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

        If underwriters are used in the sale, the Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase such Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the Securities offered by the Prospectus Supplement if any of such Securities are purchased.

        Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to Investment Dealers may be changed from time to time. The Bank may agree to pay the Investment Dealers a commission for various services relating to the issue and sale of any Securities offered hereby. Any such commission will be paid out of the general corporate funds of the Bank. Investment Dealers who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Bank to indemnification by the Bank against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such Investment Dealers may be required to make in respect thereof.

        In connection with any offering of the Securities (unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement), the Investment Dealers may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a higher level than that which might exist in the open market. These transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.

        This Prospectus and related Prospectus Supplement may be used by direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank in connection with offers and sales related to secondary market transactions in the Securities in the United States. Those subsidiaries may act as principal or agent in those transactions. Secondary market sales will be made at prices related to prevailing market prices at the time of sale.


RISK FACTORS

        Investment in the Securities is subject to various risks including those risks inherent in conducting the business of a diversified financial institution. Before deciding whether to invest in any Securities, investors should consider carefully the risks set out herein and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus (including subsequently filed documents incorporated by reference) and, if applicable, those described in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific offering of Securities. Prospective investors should consider the categories of risks identified and discussed in the Bank's Annual Information Form and Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Bank incorporated herein by reference including credit risk, market risk, operational risk, insurance risk, regulatory risk, legal risk, reputational risk and liquidity risk.


USE OF PROCEEDS

        Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds to the Bank from the sale of the Securities will be added to the general funds of the Bank and utilized for general banking purposes.


INTERESTS OF EXPERTS

        Ernst & Young LLP, Chartered Accountants, Toronto, Ontario, is the external auditor who prepared the Auditors' Report to Shareholders with respect to the consolidated balance sheet of the Bank as at October 31, 2006 and the consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended. Ernst & Young LLP is independent with respect to the Bank within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario, and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, United States. The consolidated financial statements for the years ended October 31, 2005 and 2004 were audited by Ernst & Young LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was

15


independent in accordance with the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario during the period they were auditors of the Bank up to and including the date of signing the audit opinion on November 22, 2005. Subsequent to this date PricewaterhouseCoopers was no longer the auditor of the Bank.

        Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, certain legal matters relating to the Securities offered by a Prospectus Supplement will be passed upon, on behalf of the Bank, by McCarthy Tétrault LLP and, with respect to Securities offered in the United States, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP. As at the date hereof, partners, counsel and associates of McCarthy Tétrault LLP and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, less than 1% of any issued and outstanding securities of the Bank or any associates or affiliates of the Bank.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED
TO OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Under the Bank Act, the Bank may not, by contract, resolution or by-law, limit the liability of its directors for breaches of their fiduciary duties. However, except in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Bank to procure a judgment in its favor, the Bank may indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or a person who acts or acted at the Bank's request as a director or officer of an entity of which the Bank is or was a shareholder or creditor, and his or her heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by him or her because of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the bank or the entity, if:

        These individuals are entitled to an indemnity from the Bank if the person was substantially successful on the merits of his or her defense of the action or proceeding and fulfilled the conditions set out in (1) and (2) above. The Bank may, with the approval of a court, also indemnify that person regarding an action by or on behalf of the Bank to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the company or entity, if he or she fulfills the conditions set out in (1) and (2) above.

        The Bank's by-laws provide that subject to the limitations contained in the Bank Act, but without limit to the right of the Bank to indemnify any person under the Bank Act or otherwise, the Bank will indemnify a director or officer or a former director or officer, or a person who acts or acted at the Bank's request as a director or officer of a body corporate of which the Bank is or was a shareholder or creditor, and such person's heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment reasonably incurred by such person in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which such person is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or officer of the Bank or such body corporate if: (i) such person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Bank; and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, such person had reasonable grounds for believing that such person's conduct was lawful. These indemnification provisions could be construed to permit or require indemnification for certain liabilities arising out of U.S. federal securities laws. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Bank pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Bank has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

        The Bank maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance policies providing for the insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the Bank and subsidiary companies against any liability incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such.
