Investment description
| • | Linked to the Russell 2000® Index |
| • | Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Principal at Risk Securities (the “Securities”) do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the Securities provide for a payment at maturity that may be greater than, equal to or less than the principal amount of the Securities, depending on the performance of the Reference Asset from the Initial Level to the Final Level. |
The payment at maturity will reflect the following terms:
| o | If the level of the Reference Asset increases: |
You will receive the principal amount plus 150% participation in the upside performance of the Reference Asset, subject to the Maximum Redemption Amount of 125% to 130% (to be determined on the pricing date) of the principal amount of the Securities
| o | If the level of the Reference Asset decreases but the decrease is not more than 10%: |
You will be repaid the principal amount
| o | If the level of the Reference Asset decreases by more than 10%: |
You will receive less than the principal amount and will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Reference Asset in excess of 10%
| • | Investors may lose up to 90% of the principal amount |
| • | Any payments on the Securities are subject to our credit risk. The Securities are unsecured and are not savings accounts or insured deposits of a bank. |
| • | No periodic interest payments or dividends |
| • | No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity |
Our estimated value of the Securities on the Pricing Date, based on our internal pricing models, is expected to be between $953.50 and $979.00 per Security. The estimated value is expected to be less than the public offering price of the Securities. See “Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Securities” on page 13 of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement.
*To the extent that the issuer makes any change to the expected pricing date or expected issue date, the valuation date and maturity date may also be changed in the issuer’s discretion to ensure that the term of the Securities remains the same.
The Securities have complex features and investing in the Securities involves a number of risks. See “Additional Risk Factors” on page P-5 of the accompanying pricing supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” beginning on page PS-4 of the product prospectus supplement MLN-EI-1 dated August 31, 2015 (the “product prospectus supplement”) and “Risk Factors” on page 1 of the prospectus dated July 28, 2014 (the “prospectus”).
This introductory term sheet does not provide all of the information that an investor should consider prior to making an investment decision.
Investors should carefully review the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, product prospectus supplement and prospectus before making a decision to invest in the Securities. We urge you to consult your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors before you invest in the Securities. As used in this introductory term sheet, “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to The Toronto-Dominion Bank.

Hypothetical payout profile
The profile to the right is based on a hypothetical Maximum Redemption Amount of 127.50% or $1,275.00 per $1,000 principal amount (the midpoint of the specified range for the Maximum Redemption Amount), the Leverage Factor of 150% and a Buffer Level equal to 90% of the Initial Level.
This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on the actual Final Level, the actual Maximum Redemption Amount, and whether you hold your Securities to maturity.
*The graph to the right represents a hypothetical payout profile for the Securities. The dotted line represents the hypothetical percentage change of the Reference Asset and the solid line represents the hypothetical return on the Securities for a given percentage change in the Reference Asset.

How the payment at maturity is calculated
The payment at maturity will be determined as follows:
| • | If, on the Valuation Date, the Percentage Change is positive, then the investor will receive an amount per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities equal to the lesser of: |
| (i) | Principal Amount + (Principal Amount x Percentage Change x Leverage Factor); and |
| (ii) | the Maximum Redemption Amount. |
| • | If, on the Valuation Date, the Percentage Change is less than or equal to 0%, but not by more than the Buffer Percentage (that is, the Percentage Change is between zero and –10%), then the investor will receive only $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities. |
| • | If, on the Valuation Date, the Percentage Change is negative, by more than the Buffer Percentage (that is, the Percentage Change is between –10% and -100%), then the investor will receive less than $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities, calculated using the following formula: |
Principal Amount + [Principal Amount x (Percentage Change + Buffer Percentage)]
If the Final Level is less than Buffer Level, the investor will receive less, and possibly 90% less, than the principal amount of the Securities at maturity.

| • | Investors Are Subject to Our Credit Risk, and Our Credit Ratings and Credit Spreads May Adversely Affect the Market Value of the Securities. |
| • | The Agent Discount, Offering Expenses and Certain Hedging Costs Are Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices. |

| • | 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 Lower Than the Public Offering Price of Your Securities and Maybe Lower Than the Estimated Value of Your Securities. |
| • | 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. |
