Investment Highlights
The TD GDXJ ETF-Linked Autocallable Coupon Notes, Series 984F (the “Notes”) provide investors with the opportunity to receive coupons and a payment at maturity linked to the price performance of an Underlying Interest described below.
| Issuer: | The Toronto-Dominion Bank |
|---|---|
| Issue Date: | October 14, 2021 |
| Maturity Date: | October 15, 2024 |
| Underlying Interest: | The Underlying Interest is comprised of the following component(s): |
| A unit of: | |
| VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF | |
| The Closing Levels reflect only the applicable price appreciation or depreciation of the Underlying Interest | |
| and do not reflect payment of dividends or distributions thereon. The yield of the Underlying Interest at | |
| August 31, 2021 was 1.98%, which would represent an aggregate yield of 5.94% over the maximum term | |
| of the Notes, assuming the dividends or distributions paid on the Underlying Interest remain constant and | |
| the dividends ordistributions arenotreinvested. | |
| Currency: | Canadian Dollars |
| Auto-Call Feature: | The Notes will be automatically called by the Bank if the Closing Level on a Valuation Date after the first |
| Valuation Date is greater than or equal to the Auto-Call Level. If the Notes are automatically called by the | |
| Bank, the Maturity Redemption Payment will be paid on the applicable Auto-Call Date, the Notes will be | |
| redeemed and Noteholders will not be entitled to receive any subsequent payments in respect of the | |
| Notes. | |
| The first Auto-Call Date is October 17, 2022. | |
| Auto-Call Dates: | October 17, 2022, April 14, 2023, October 16, 2023, April 15, 2024, and October 15, 2024 (which is also |
| the Maturity Date) | |
| Coupon Dates: | April 14, 2022, October 17, 2022, April 14, 2023, October 16, 2023, April 15, 2024, and October 15, 2024 |

A Coupon, if any, is payable only if the Underlying Interest Return on the applicable Valuation Date is greater than or equal to the Payment Threshold. If the Final Level is less than the Barrier Level and the Notes have not been automatically called by the Bank, an investor will receive less than the Principal Amount at maturity. The Notes are not principal protected and investors may lose substantially all of their investment in the Notes. The Notes are not designed to be alternatives to fixed income or money market instruments. See "SUITABILITY FOR INVESTMENT".

| Coupon: | Noteholders may receive a Coupon on each Coupon Date unless the Notes have been automatically called |
|---|---|
| by the Bank prior to the applicable Valuation Date. The Coupon for the relevant Coupon Date will be | |
| calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the applicable formula below: | |
| (i) if the applicable Underlying Interest Return is equal to or greater than the Payment Threshold: | |
| 𝐶𝐶𝐶= Principal Amount × Payment Rate; or | |
| (ii) if the applicable Underlying Interest Return is less than the Payment Threshold: |
|
| 𝐶𝐶𝐶= $0. | |
| Payment Threshold: | -20% |
| Payment Rate: | 5.25% |
| Assuming the Notes are not automatically called by the Bank and the applicable Underlying Interest Return | |
| is equal to or greater than the Payment Threshold on each Valuation Date in a given year, the effective | |
| annual Payment Rate would be 10.50% in such year. | |
| Maturity Redemption Payment: |
If the Notes are automatically called by the Bank, Noteholders will be paid the Maturity Redemption Payment on the applicable Auto-Call Date, in addition to any Coupon payable on that date. If the Notes are not automatically called by the Bank, Noteholders will be paid the Maturity Redemption Payment on the |
| Maturity Date, in addition to any Coupon payable on that date. A Noteholder may not elect to receive the | |
| Maturity Redemption Payment prior to the Maturity Date. The Maturity Redemption Payment will be | |
| calculated by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the applicable formula below: | |
| (i) if the Closing Level on a Valuation Date after the first Valuation Date is greater than or equal to |
|
| the Auto-Call Level, the Notes will be automatically called by the Bank and the Maturity | |
| Redemption Payment will equal: | |
| 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝑃𝐶𝑃𝐴 𝐶𝐶𝐴; |
|
| (ii) if the Notes have not been automatically called by the Bank and the Final Level is greater than or | |
| equal to the Barrier Level, the Maturity Redemption Payment will equal: | |
| 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝑃𝐶𝑃𝐴 𝐶𝐶𝐴; or |
|
| (iii) if the Notes have not been automatically called by the Bank and the Final Level is less than the | |
| Barrier Level, the Maturity Redemption Payment will equal the greater of: | |
| (𝑃) 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝑃𝐶𝑃𝐴 𝐶𝐶𝐴 × (1 + 𝑈𝐶𝑈𝑃𝑈𝑃𝐶𝑈 𝐼𝐶𝐴𝑈𝑃𝑈𝐼𝐴 𝑅𝑈𝐴𝐶𝑃𝐶); 𝑃𝐶𝑈 |
|
| (𝑏) $1 𝐶𝑈𝑃 𝑁𝐶𝐴𝑈. | |
| The Maturity Redemption Payment will be less than the Principal Amount if the Notes are not | |
| automatically called by the Bank and the Final Level is less than the Barrier Level. | |
| Auto-Call Level: | 110% of the Opening Level |
| Barrier Level: | 80% of the Opening Level |
| An investor's principal is protected at maturity unless the Final Level is less than 80% of the Opening Level. | |
| Fees and Expenses: | There is no selling agent’s commission payable in connection with a sale of the Notes. The fee of the |
| independent agent is included in the issue price of the Notes. There are no additional fees or expenses of | |
| the offering directly payable by Noteholders. | |
| Eligibility: | RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs, RDSPs, TFSAs, and DPSPs |
| Secondary Market: | The Notes will not be listed on any stock exchange. TDSI intends, in normal market conditions, to maintain |
| a secondary market for the Notes, but is under no obligation to do so and if it does do so, reserves the right | |
| not to do so in the future in its sole discretion, without providing notice to Noteholders. |
Sample Calculations
The examples set out below are included for illustrative purposes only. The levels used in the examples are not estimates or forecasts of the Closing Level on the relevant dates. Neither the Bank nor either of the Agents predicts or guarantees any gain or particular return on the Notes. The following examples assume an initial investment of $100,000.00 (1,000 Notes), that the Notes are held until maturity or redemption and that the Closing Levels follow the paths shown in the charts below:

Example #1: Closing Level on every Valuation Date after the first Valuation Date is less than the Auto-Call Level, the Underlying Interest Return on every Valuation Date is less than the Payment Threshold, and the Final Level is less than the Barrier Level.
==> picture [253 x 116] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [273 x 108] intentionally omitted <==
The Notes are not automatically called by the Bank because the Closing Level on every Valuation Date after the first Valuation Date is less than the Auto-Call Level. The Noteholder does not receive any Coupons because the Underlying Interest Return on every Valuation Date is less than the Payment Threshold. Since the Final Level is less than the Barrier Level, the Maturity Redemption Payment would equal:
𝑀𝑀𝑃𝑃𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈 𝑅𝑅𝑈 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐶 𝑃 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴= 𝑃 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴 𝐶 𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴× (1 + 𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝑈 𝑃 𝑈𝑈𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑈𝑈 𝐼𝐼𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈𝑃𝑃𝑈𝑈𝐼𝐼𝐴𝐴 𝑅𝑅𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶) = $100,000.00 × (1 −41.66087%) = $58,339.13
In this example, the Noteholder would receive the Maturity Redemption Payment of $58,339.13 on the Maturity Date, and the Notes yield an annualized compound rate of return of approximately -16.41%. In this example, the Noteholder would not receive any Coupons and the Maturity Redemption Payment would be less than the amount originally invested in the Notes.
Example #2: Closing Level on every Valuation Date after the first Valuation Date is less than the Auto-Call Level, the Underlying Interest Return on three of the Valuation Dates is greater than the Payment Threshold, and the Final Level is greater than the Barrier Level.
==> picture [253 x 117] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [273 x 108] intentionally omitted <==
The Notes are not automatically called by the Bank because the Closing Level on every Valuation Date after the first Valuation Date is less than the Auto-Call Level. The Noteholder receives a Coupon on three Coupon Dates because the Underlying Interest Return on the relevant Valuation Dates is greater than or equal to the Payment Threshold. No Coupons are paid in respect of the remaining Coupon Dates because the Underlying Interest Return is less than the Payment Threshold on the relevant Valuation Dates.
Coupons (Coupon Dates as per table above):
𝑃 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴 𝐶 𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴× 𝑃 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴 𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈= $100,000.00 × 5.25% = $5,250.00; or 𝑁𝑁𝐶𝐶 𝐶 𝐶 𝐶 𝑃𝑃𝐼𝐼 𝐶𝐶𝑃𝑃𝑈𝑈𝑃𝑃𝑏𝑏𝑃𝑃𝑈𝑈
Since the Notes are not automatically called by the Bank and the Final Level is greater than the Barrier Level, the Maturity Redemption Payment would equal the Principal Amount.
𝑀𝑀𝑃𝑃𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈 𝑅𝑅𝑈 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐶 𝑃 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴= 𝑃 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴 𝐶 𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴= $100,000.00
In this example, the Noteholder would receive Coupons totaling $15,750.00 and the Maturity Redemption Payment of $100,000.00 on the Maturity Date. The Notes in this example yield an annualized compound rate of return of approximately 5.15%, assuming that the Coupons paid are reinvested at such rate.

Example #3: Closing Level on the Valuation Date immediately preceding the first Auto-Call Date is greater than the Auto-Call Level.
==> picture [253 x 117] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [273 x 109] intentionally omitted <==
The Notes are automatically called by the Bank on the first Auto-Call Date, because the Closing Level on the Valuation Date immediately preceding the first Auto-Call Date is greater than the Auto-Call Level. The Noteholder receives a Coupon on the first two Coupon Dates because the Underlying Interest Return on the relevant Valuation Dates exceeds the Payment Threshold.
Coupons (Coupon Dates: as per table above):
𝑃 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴 𝐶 𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴× 𝑃 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴 𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈= $100,000.00 × 5.25% = $5,250.00
Since the Closing Level on the Valuation Date immediately preceding the first Auto-Call Date is greater than the Auto-Call Level, the Maturity Redemption Payment would be calculated as follows:
𝑀𝑀𝑃𝑃𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈 𝑅𝑅𝑈 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐶 𝑃 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴= 𝑃 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴 𝐶 𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴= $100,000.00
In this example, the Noteholder would receive Coupons totaling $10,500.00 and the Maturity Redemption Payment of $100,000.00 on the first Auto-Call Date. The Notes in this example yield an annualized compound rate of return of approximately 10.69%, assuming that the Coupons paid are reinvested at such rate.
Example #4: Closing Level on every Valuation Date after the first Valuation Date is less than the Auto-Call Level, the Underlying Interest Return on every Valuation Date is greater than the Payment Threshold, and the Final Level is greater than the Barrier Level.
==> picture [247 x 117] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [273 x 108] intentionally omitted <==
The Notes are not automatically called by the Bank because the Closing Level on every Valuation Date after the first Valuation Date is less than the Auto-Call Level. The Noteholder receives a Coupon on each Coupon Date because the Underlying Interest Return on every Valuation Date is greater than or equal to the Payment Threshold. The Final Level is greater than the Barrier Level.
Coupons (all Coupon Dates):
𝑃 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴 𝐶 𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴× 𝑃 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴 𝑅𝑅𝑃𝑃𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈= $100,000.00 × 5.25% = $5,250.00
Since the Notes are not automatically called by the Bank and the Final Level is greater than the Barrier Level, the Maturity Redemption Payment would equal the Principal Amount:
𝑀𝑀𝑃𝑃𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈 𝑅𝑅𝑈 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴𝑃𝑃𝐶 𝑃 𝑈𝑈𝐴𝐴𝑈𝑈𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴= 𝑃 𝑃𝑃𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐶𝐶𝑃 𝐴 𝐶 𝐶𝐶𝐴𝐴= $100,000.00
In this example, the Noteholder would receive Coupons totaling $31,500.00 and the Maturity Redemption Payment of $100,000.00 on the Maturity Date. The Notes in this example yield an annualized compound rate of return of approximately 10.75%, assuming that the Coupons paid are reinvested at such rate.

Suitability for Investment
The Notes differ from conventional debt and fixed income investments because they may not provide Noteholders with a return or a fixed payment stream, the Notes may be automatically called by the Bank (i.e., redeemed) prior to the Maturity Date as a result of the Auto-Call Feature, and the return, if any, is not determined prior to maturity or redemption. The Notes are not principal protected. Payments on the Notes depend on the Underlying Interest Return on each Valuation Date and, if the Notes are not automatically called by the Bank, whether the Final Level is less than the Barrier Level. The Notes may return substantially less than the amount originally invested by the Noteholder. Consequently, investors could lose substantially all of their investment in the Notes. A Coupon, if any, is payable on a given Coupon Date only if the Underlying Interest Return on the applicable Valuation Date is greater than or equal to the Payment Threshold. There can be no assurance that the Notes will generate any payments or a return (except for the minimum $1 repayment per Note). Accordingly, the Notes are only suitable for investors who do not require current income and who can withstand a total loss of their investment (except for the minimum $1 repayment per Note). The Notes are designed for investors with an investment horizon that extends to the Maturity Date, who are prepared to hold the Notes to maturity, who are prepared to assume the risk that the Notes will be automatically called by the Bank prior to the Maturity Date, and who are prepared to assume risks with respect to a return linked to the price performance of the Underlying Interest. An investment in the Notes is not suitable for an investor who may require an income stream or liquidity prior to the Maturity Date. See “RISK FACTORS – Suitability of the Notes for Investment”. Prospective purchasers should take into account additional risk factors associated with this offering of Notes. See “RISK FACTORS” in the Pricing Supplement and the Prospectus.
Tax Considerations
This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be relied upon as, legal or tax advice to any Noteholder, and it must be read in conjunction with, and is subject to the limitations and qualifications set out in, the Prospectus and the Pricing Supplement. Noteholders should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the income tax consequences of an investment in Notes, based on their particular circumstances. The full amount of each Coupon, if any, generally will be required to be included in the Noteholder’s income as interest in the taxation year of the Noteholder that includes the applicable Coupon Date, except to the extent that such amount was otherwise included in computing the Noteholder's income in the taxation year or a preceding taxation year. See "CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS" in the Pricing Supplement for further details.
The Notes will not constitute deposits that are insured under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act .
Market Disruption Events and Special Circumstances can affect the payment of Coupons and / or the Maturity Redemption Payment. Prospective purchasers should carefully consider all of the information set forth in the Prospectus and the Pricing Supplement and, in particular, should take into account the specific risk factors associated with the Notes set forth under “RISK FACTORS” in the Pricing Supplement and the Prospectus.
TDSI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank. Consequently, the Bank is a related and connected issuer of TDSI within the meaning of applicable securities legislation in connection with the offering of Notes.
There is no market through which the Notes may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Notes. This may affect the pricing of the Notes in any secondary market that may develop, the transparency and availability of their trading prices and liquidity. A Noteholder who sells a Note to TDSI prior to the Maturity Date will receive sale proceeds (which may be less than the Principal Amount of the Note and less than the Maturity Redemption Payment that would otherwise be payable if the Note were maturing at such time) equal to the bid price for the Note, provided by TDSI, if available, determined at the time of sale.
