Capped Barrier Accelerator Euro Stoxx 50® Index-Linked Notes Due November 2, 2017

The Toronto-Dominion Bank

 
       


The Toronto-Dominion Bank ("TD" or “we”) is offering the Capped Barrier Accelerator Notes (the “Notes”) linked to the performance of the Euro Stoxx 50® Index (the “Reference Asset”) described below.

The Notes provide a 140% leveraged positive return if the level of the Reference Asset increases from the Initial Level to the Final Level, subject to the Maximum Redemption Amount. Investors will receive their Principal Amount at maturity if the Final Level is below the Initial Level by up to 20%. If the Final Level is below the Initial Level by more than 20%, investors will lose 1% of the principal amount of the Notes for each 1% decrease from the Initial Level to the Final Level, subject to the minimum payment at maturity of $1 per Note, and may lose substantially all of the principal amount of the Notes. Any payments on the Notes are subject to our credit risk.

The Notes are unsecured and are not savings accounts or insured deposits of a bank. The Notes are not insured or guaranteed by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or instrumentality of Canada or the United States.

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.

The Payment at Maturity will be greater than the Principal Amount only if the Percentage Change is greater than zero. The Notes
are not principal protected and investors may lose substantially all of their investment in the Notes.

The Notes have complex features and investing in the Notes involves a number of risks. See “Additional Risk Factors” on page P-5 of this 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”).

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined that this pricing supplement, the product prospectus supplement or the prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We will deliver the Notes in book-entry only form through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company on or about October 30, 2015, against payment in immediately available funds.

Our estimated value of the Notes on the Pricing Date, based on our internal pricing models, is expected to be between $957.50 and $987.50 per Note. The estimated value is expected to be less than the public offering price of the Notes. See “Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Notes” beginning on page 12 of this pricing supplement.

1 Certain dealers who purchase the Notes for sale to certain fee-based advisory accounts may forego 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 $970.00 (97.00%) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.

2 TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TDS”) will purchase the Notes from TD at the public offering price less an underwriting discount of up to $30.00 (3.00%) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes for distribution to other registered broker-dealers, or will offer the securities directly to investors. The underwriting discount represents the selling concessions for 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. TD will reimburse TDS for certain expenses in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes, and TD will pay TDS a fee in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes.

Maturity Date: November 2, 2017 (scheduled to be 3 trading days following the Valuation Date), subject to postponement for market and other disruptions, as described in the product prospectus supplement
Payment at Maturity:

If, on the Valuation Date, the Percentage Change is positive, then the investor will receive an amount per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes 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 Barrier Percentage (that is, the Percentage Change is between 0% and -20%), then the investor will receive only $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.

If, on the Valuation Date, the Percentage Change is negative by more than the Barrier Percentage (that is, the Percentage Change is between -20% and -100%), then the investor will receive less than $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, calculated using the following formula:

Principal Amount + (Principal Amount x Percentage Change)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Payment at Maturity will be subject to a minimum payment of $1 per Note.

If the Final Level is less than Barrier Level, the investor will receive less than the principal amount of the Notes at maturity and may lose substantially all of their investment.

 

TD SECURITIES (USA) LLCP-2
 

Percentage Change:

The Percentage Change, expressed as a percentage, is calculated using the following formula:

  Final Level - Initial Level
Initial Level
Initial Level: The closing level of the Reference Asset on the Pricing Date
Final Level: The closing level of the Reference Asset on the Valuation Date
Closing Level of the Reference Asset: The closing level of the Reference Asset will be the official closing level of the Reference Asset or any successor index (as defined in the accompanying product prospectus supplement) published by the Index Sponsor (as defined in the accompanying product prospectus supplement) on any Trading Day for the Reference Asset
Leverage Factor: 140%
Barrier Event: Applicable
Barrier Percentage: 20%, which is equal to the amount, expressed in percentage terms, by which the Barrier Level is below the Initial Level
Barrier Level: 80% of the Initial Level (to be determined on the Pricing Date)
Monitoring Period: Final Valuation Date Monitoring
Maximum Redemption Amount: $1,266.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (126.60% of the principal amount of the Notes).  As a result of the Maximum Redemption Amount, the maximum return at maturity of the Notes will be 26.60% of the principal amount of the Notes (assuming a public offering price of $1,000).
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 or Toronto.
U.S. Tax Treatment: By purchasing a Note, each holder agrees (in the absence of a change in law, an administrative determination or a judicial ruling to the contrary) to treat the Note as a pre-paid cash-settled derivative contract in respect of the Reference Asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Based on certain factual representations received from us, in the opinion of our special U.S. tax counsel, Morrison & Foerster LLP, it is reasonable to treat the Notes as pre-paid cash-settled derivative contracts in respect of the Reference Asset for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  However, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are uncertain and the Internal Revenue Service could assert that the Notes should be taxed in a manner that is different from that described in the preceding sentence.  Please see the discussion below under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” and the discussion in the product prospectus supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
Canadian Tax Treatment: Please see the discussion in the product prospectus supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences,” which applies to the Notes.
Calculation Agent: TD
Listing: The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange
Clearance and Settlement: DTC global (including through its indirect participants Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg as described under “Forms of the Debt Securities” and “Book-Entry Procedures and Settlement” in the prospectus).

The Pricing Date, the Issue Date, the Valuation Date and the Maturity Date are subject to change. These dates will be set forth in the final pricing supplement that will be made available in connection with sales of the Notes.

Additional Terms of Your Notes

You should read this pricing supplement together with the prospectus, as supplemented by the product prospectus supplement, relating to our Senior Debt Securities, 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 product prospectus supplement. In the event of any conflict, this pricing supplement will control. The Notes vary from the terms described in the product 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” on page P-5 of this pricing supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” beginning on page PS-4 of the product prospectus supplement and “Risk Factors” on page 1 of 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 before you invest 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):

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 product prospectus supplement and the prospectus.

You should carefully consider whether the Notes are suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them. Accordingly, prospective 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.

Principal at Risk.

Investors in the Notes could lose substantially all of their principal amount if there is a decline in the level of the Reference Asset. If the Final Level is less than the Initial Level by more than 20%, you will lose 1% of the principal amount of your Notes for each 1% that the Final Level is less than the Initial Level, subject to a minimum payment at maturity of $1 per Note.

The Notes Do Not Pay Interest and Your Return May Be Lower than the Return on a Conventional Debt Security of Comparable Maturity.

There will be no periodic interest payments on the Notes as there would be on a conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt security having the same maturity. The return that you will receive on the Notes, which could be negative, may be less than the return you could earn on other investments. Even if your return is positive, your return may be less than the return you would earn if you bought a conventional senior interest bearing debt security of TD.

Your Return Will Be Limited By The Maximum Redemption Amount And May Be Lower Than The Return On A Direct Investment In The Reference Asset.

The opportunity to participate in the possible increases in the level of the Reference Asset through an investment in the Notes will be limited because the Payment at Maturity will not exceed the Maximum Redemption Amount. Furthermore, the effect of the Leverage Factor will not be taken into account for any Final Level of the Reference Asset exceeding the level at which the Maximum Redemption Amount is reached.

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 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.

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 Notes will likely be lower 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 on any securities exchange. TDS and other affiliates of TD may make a market for the Notes; however, they are not required to do so. TDS 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.

You Will Not Have Any Rights to the Securities Included in the Reference Asset.

As a holder of the Notes, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive cash dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of securities included in the Reference Asset would have. The Final Level will not reflect any dividends paid on the securities included in the Reference Asset.

An Investment in the Notes Is Subject to Risks Associated with Non-U.S. Securities Markets.

The securities included in the Reference Asset have been issued by non-U.S. companies. An investment in securities linked to the value of non-U.S. equity securities involves particular risks. Non-U.S. securities markets may be more volatile than U.S. securities markets, and market developments may affect non-U.S. securities markets differently from the U.S. securities markets. Direct or indirect government intervention to stabilize these non-U.S. securities markets, as well as cross shareholdings among non-U.S. companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in those markets. Also, there is generally less publicly available information in the U.S. about non-U.S. companies than about those U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC, and non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, disclosure, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.

TD SECURITIES (USA) LLCP-5
 

Prices of securities in non-U.S. countries are subject to political, economic, financial and social factors that may be unique to the particular country. These factors, which could negatively affect the non-U.S. securities markets, include the possibility of recent or future changes in the economic and fiscal policies of non-U.S. governments, the possible imposition of, or changes in, currency exchange laws or other non-U.S. laws or restrictions applicable to non-U.S. companies or investments in non-U.S. equity securities, the possibility of fluctuations in the rate of exchange between currencies, the possibility of outbreaks of hostility and political instability and the possibility of natural disaster or adverse public health developments in the relevant region. Moreover, the economies of certain foreign countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in important respects, such as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, trade surpluses or deficits, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.

As a Holder of the Notes, You Will Not Have Direct Exposure to Fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar/Euro Exchange Rate Related to the Reference Asset.

The value of the Notes will not be adjusted for exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the euro, even though any currency fluctuations could affect the performance of the Reference Asset. Therefore, if the euro appreciates or depreciates relative to the U.S. dollar over the term of the Notes, you will not receive any additional payment or incur any reduction in any payment on the Notes.

The Estimated Value of Your Notes is Expected to be Lower Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes.

The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is expected to be lower, and may be significantly lower, than the public offering price of your Notes. The difference between the public offering price of your Notes and the estimated value of the Notes is expected as a result of certain factors, such as any sales commissions expected to be paid to the Agents or their affiliates, 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 Notes, the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes.

The Estimated Value of Your Notes Might be Lower if Such Estimated Value Were Based on the Levels at Which Our Debt Securities Trade in the Secondary Market.

The estimated value of your Notes on the Pricing Date is based on a number of variables, including our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. As a result of this difference, the estimated values referenced above might be lower if such estimated values were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.

The Estimated Value of the Notes 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 Notes on the Pricing Date is based on our internal pricing models, which take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize. These variables and assumptions are not evaluated or verified on an independent basis. 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 Notes may not be consistent with those of other financial institutions that may be purchasers or sellers of Notes in the secondary market. As a result, the secondary market price of your Notes may be materially different from the estimated value of the Notes determined by reference to our internal pricing models.

The Estimated Value of Your Notes Is Not a Prediction of the Prices at Which You May Sell Your Notes in the Secondary Market, if any, and Such Secondary Market Prices, If Any, Will Likely be Lower Than the Public Offering Price of Your Notes and Maybe Lower Than the Estimated Value of Your Notes.

The estimated value of the Notes will not be a prediction of the prices at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes 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 Notes in the secondary market at any time 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 Notes. Further, as secondary market prices of your Notes take into account the levels at which our debt securities trade in the secondary market, and do not take into account our various costs related to the Notes such as fees, commissions, discounts, and the costs of hedging our obligations under the Notes, secondary market prices of your Notes will likely be lower than the public offering price of your Notes. As a result, the price, at which the Agents, other affiliates of ours or third parties may be willing to purchase the Notes from you in secondary market transactions, if any, will likely be lower than the price you paid for your Notes, and any sale prior to the maturity date could result in a substantial loss to you.

The Temporary Price at Which We May Initially Buy The Notes in the Secondary Market 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 Agents may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market (if the Agents makes a market in the Notes, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed our estimated value of the Notes on the Pricing Date, as well as the secondary market value of the Notes, for a temporary period after the initial issue date of the Notes. The price at which the Agents may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market may not be indicative of future prices of your Notes.

Market Disruption Events and Adjustments.

The Maturity Date and the Valuation Date are subject to adjustment as described in the product prospectus supplement. For a description of what constitutes a market disruption event as well as the consequences of that market disruption event, see “General Terms of the Notes—Market Disruption Events” in the product prospectus supplement.

TD SECURITIES (USA) LLCP-6
 

Significant Aspects of the Tax Treatment of the Notes Is Uncertain.

The U.S. tax treatment of the Notes is uncertain. Please read carefully the section entitled “Tax Consequences — United States Taxation” in the prospectus and the section entitled “Supplemental Discussion of U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the product prospectus supplement. You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation.

For a more complete discussion of the Canadian federal income tax consequences of investing in the Notes, please see the discussion in the product prospectus supplement under “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences.” If you are not a Non-resident Holder (as that term is defined in the prospectus) 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.

Hypothetical Returns

The examples and graph set out below are included for illustration purposes only. The hypothetical Percentage Changes of the Reference Asset used to illustrate the calculation of the Payment at Maturity (rounded to two decimal places) are not estimates or forecasts of the Initial Level, the Final Level or the level of the Reference Asset on any trading day prior to the Maturity Date. All examples assume a Barrier Percentage of 20% (the Barrier Level is 80% of the Initial Level), the Leverage Factor of 140%, the Maximum Redemption Amount of $1,266.00, that a holder purchased Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $1,000 and that no market disruption event occurs on the Valuation Date.

 

Example 1— Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Percentage Change is positive.
  Percentage Change: 10%
  Payment at Maturity: $1,000 + ($1,000 x 10% x 140%) = $1,000 + $140 = $1,140.00
  On a $1,000 investment, a 10% Percentage Change results in a Payment at Maturity of $1,140.00, a 14.00% return on the Notes.

 

Example 2— Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Percentage Change is positive (and the Payment at Maturity is subject to the Maximum Redemption Amount).
  Percentage Change: 50%
  Payment at Maturity: $1,000 + ($1,000 x 50% x 140%) = $1,000 + $700 = $1,700.00 however, the Maximum Redemption is $1,266.00 and the Payment at Maturity would be $1,266.00.
 

On a $1,000 investment, a 50% Percentage Change results in a Payment at Maturity of $1,266.00, a 26.60% return on the Notes.

 

In addition to limiting your return on the Notes, the Maximum Redemption Amount limits the positive effect of the Leverage Factor. If the Final Level is greater than the Initial Level, you will participate in the performance of the Reference Asset at a rate of 140% up to a certain point. However, the effect of the Leverage Factor will be progressively reduced for any Final Level that is greater than 19% of the Initial Level (based on the Maximum Redemption Amount of 126.60% or $1,266.00 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes) since your return on the Notes for any Final Level greater than 19% of the Initial Level will be limited to the Maximum Redemption Amount.

 

Example 3— Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Percentage Change is negative (but not by more than the Barrier Percentage).
  Percentage Change: -8%
  Payment at Maturity: At maturity, if the Percentage Change is negative BUT not by more than the Barrier Percentage, then the Payment at Maturity will equal the principal amount.
  On a $1,000 investment, a -8% Percentage Change results in a Payment at Maturity of $1,000.00,
a 0% return on the Notes.

 

Example 4— Calculation of the Payment at Maturity where the Percentage Change is negative (by more than the Barrier Percentage).
  Percentage Change: -35%
  Payment at Maturity: $1,000 + ($1,000 x -35%) = $1,000 - $350 = $650.00
  On a $1,000 investment, a -35% Percentage Change results in a Payment at Maturity of $650.00, a
 -35% return on the Notes.

TD SECURITIES (USA) LLCP-8
 

The following table shows the return profile for the Notes at the Maturity Date, assuming that the investor purchased the Notes on the Issue Date and held the Notes until the Maturity Date. The returns illustrated in the following table are not estimates or forecasts of the Percentage Change or the return on the Notes. Neither TD nor either Agent is predicting or guaranteeing any gain or particular return on the Notes.

 

Hypothetical Percentage Change Hypothetical Payment at Maturity Hypothetical Return on Notes
100.00% $1,266.00 26.60%
75.00% $1,266.00 26.60%
50.00% $1,266.00 26.60%
40.00% $1,266.00 26.60%
30.00% $1,266.00 26.60%
20.00% $1,266.00 26.60%
19.00% $1,266.00 26.60%

Information Regarding the Reference Asset

The Reference Asset was created by STOXX, as a joint venture between Deutsche Börse AG and SIX Group AG. Publication of the Reference Asset began in February 1998, based on an initial index level of 1,000 at December 31, 1991.

Composition and Maintenance

The Reference Asset is composed of 50 component stocks of market sector leaders from within the 19 EURO STOXX® Supersector indices, which represent the Eurozone portion of the STOXX Europe 600® Supersector indices.

The composition of the Reference Asset is reviewed annually, based on the closing stock data on the last trading day in August. The component stocks are announced on the first trading day in September. Changes to the component stocks are implemented on the third Friday in September and are effective the following trading day. Changes in the composition of the Reference Asset are made to ensure that the Reference Asset includes the 50 market sector leaders from within the Reference Asset.

The free float factors for each component stock used to calculate the Reference Asset, as described below, are reviewed, calculated, and implemented on a quarterly basis and are fixed until the next quarterly review.

The Reference Asset is also reviewed on an ongoing basis. Corporate actions (including initial public offerings, mergers and takeovers, spin-offs, delistings, and bankruptcy) that affect the Reference Asset composition are immediately reviewed. Any changes are announced, implemented, and effective in line with the type of corporate action and the magnitude of the effect.

Calculation of the Index

The Reference Asset is calculated with the “Laspeyres formula,” which measures the aggregate price changes in the component stocks against a fixed base quantity weight. The formula for calculating the Reference Asset value can be expressed as follows:

The Reference Asset = Free float market capitalization of the index x 1,000
Adjusted base date market capitalization of the index

The “free float market capitalization of the index” is equal to the sum of the products of the closing price, market capitalization, and free float factor for each component stock as of the time the Reference Asset is being calculated.

The Reference Asset is also subject to a divisor, which is adjusted to maintain the continuity of the Reference Asset values across changes due to corporate actions, such as the deletion and addition of stocks, the substitution of stocks, stock dividends, and stock splits.

License Agreement

We have entered into a non-exclusive license agreement with STOXX providing for the license to us and certain of our affiliated or subsidiary companies, in exchange for a fee, of the right to use indices owned and published by STOXX (including the Reference Asset) in connection with certain securities, including the Notes offered hereby.

The license agreement between us and STOXX requires that the following language be stated in this document:

STOXX has no relationship to us, other than the licensing of the Reference Asset and the related trademarks for use in connection with the Notes. STOXX does not:

·sponsor, endorse, sell, or promote the Notes;
·recommend that any person invest in the Notes offered hereby or any other securities;
·have any responsibility or liability for or make any decisions about the timing, amount, or pricing of the Notes;
·have any responsibility or liability for the administration, management, or marketing of the Notes; or

The following disclosure supplements and to the extent inconsistent supersedes (and should be read in conjunction with) the discussion of U.S. federal income taxation in the prospectus under “Tax Consequences—United States Taxation—Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.”

The U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service have announced that withholding on foreign passthru payments will not be required with respect to payments made before the later of January 1, 2019, or the date of publication in the Federal Register of final regulations defining the term “foreign passthru payment.”

Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)

We have appointed TDS, an affiliate of TD, as the agent for the sale of the Notes. Pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, TDS will purchase the Notes from TD at the public offering price less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement for distribution to other registered broker-dealers, or will offer the Notes directly to investors. TDS or 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 forego 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 $970.00 (97.00%) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes. The underwriting discount represents the selling concessions for 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. TD will reimburse TDS for certain expenses in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes, and TD will pay TDS a fee in connection with its role in the offer and sale of the Notes.

We expect that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment for the Notes on or about October 30, 2015, which is the third (3rd) Business Day following the Pricing Date (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). See “Plan of Distribution” in the prospectus. For additional information as to the relationship between us and TDS, please see the section “Plan of Distribution—Conflicts of Interest” in the product prospectus supplement.

We may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, TDS or another of our affiliates may use this pricing supplement in a market-making transaction in the Notes after their initial sale. If a purchaser buys the Notes from us or TDS or another of our affiliates, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction unless we or TDS or another of our affiliates informs such purchaser otherwise in the confirmation of sale.

Additional Information Regarding Our Estimated Value of the Notes

The final terms for the Notes will be determined on the date the Notes are initially priced for sale to the public, which we refer to as the Pricing Date, based on prevailing market conditions on the Pricing Date, and will be communicated to investors in a final pricing supplement.

Our internal pricing models take into account a number of variables and are based on a number of subjective assumptions, which may or may not materialize, typically including volatility, interest rates, and our internal funding rates. Our internal funding rates (which are our internally published borrowing rates based on variables such as market benchmarks, our appetite for borrowing, and our existing obligations coming to maturity) may vary from the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market. Our estimated value on the Pricing Date is based on our internal funding rates. Our estimated value of the Notes might be lower if such valuation were based on the levels at which our benchmark debt securities trade in the secondary market.

Our estimated value of the Notes on the Pricing Date is expected to be less than the public offering price of the Notes. The difference between the public offering price of the Notes and our estimated value of the Notes is expected to result from 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 Notes, the estimated cost which we may incur in hedging our obligations under the Notes, and estimated development and other costs which we may incur in connection with the Notes.

Our estimated value on the Pricing Date is not a prediction of the price at which the Notes may trade in the secondary market, nor will it be the price at which the Agents may buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market. Subject to normal market and funding conditions, the Agents or another affiliate of ours intends to offer to purchase the Notes 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 Notes in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated value on the Pricing Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 9 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 Notes and other costs in connection with the Notes which we will no longer expect to incur over the term of the Notes. We made such discretionary election and determined this temporary reimbursement period 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 initial issue date of the Notes based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

We urge you to read the “Additional Risk Factors” beginning on page P-5 of this pricing supplement.
