Investment Description

 

Linked to the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF due January 3, 2023

 

Unlike ordinary debt 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 Price to the Final Price.

 

The Payment at Maturity will reflect the following terms:

 

o  If the price of the Reference Asset increases:

 

You will receive the Principal Amount plus 130% to 140% (to be determined on the Pricing Date) leveraged participation in the positive return of the Reference Asset

 

o   If the price of the Reference Asset is flat or decreases but the decrease is not more than 30%:

 

You will be repaid the Principal Amount

 

o  If the price of the Reference Asset decreases by more than 30%:

 

You will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the price of the Reference Asset from the Initial Price, and you will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the Principal Amount.

 

Investors may lose a substantial portion, or all, of the Principal Amount

 

Any payments on the Securities are subject to TD’s credit risk

 

You will have no right to the stocks comprising the Reference Asset (the “Reference Asset Constituents”)

 

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 is expected to be between $910.00 and $940.00 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 P-24 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” beginning on page P-6 of the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” beginning on page PS-5 of the product prospectus supplement MLN-ES-ETF-1 dated July 8, 2016 (the “product prospectus supplement”) and “Risk Factors” on page 1 of the prospectus dated June 30, 2016 (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 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.

1 The “return” as used in this introductory term sheet is the number, expressed as a percentage, that results from comparing the difference between the Payment at Maturity per $1,000 Principal Amount and $1,000. 

2 This is the hypothetical Initial Price; the actual Initial Price will be set on the Pricing Date. 

3 This is the hypothetical Threshold Price; the actual Threshold Price will be set on the Pricing Date and will be equal to 70% of the Initial Price.

 

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual Payment at Maturity will depend on the actual Final Price and Leverage Factor.

 

* These calculations are hypothetical and should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the Reference Asset as measured from the actual Pricing Date. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Reference Asset will result in a positive Percentage Change, or any positive return on your initial investment.

How the Payment at Maturity is Calculated

 

The Payment at Maturity will be determined as follows:

 

If the Final Price is greater than the Initial Price (the Percentage Change is positive), then an investor will receive an amount per Security equal to:

 

Principal Amount + (Principal Amount x Percentage Change x Leverage Factor).

 

If the Final Price is equal to or less than the Initial Price, but greater than or equal to the Threshold Price (the Percentage Change is 0% or negative but not below -30%), then an investor will receive an amount per Security equal to:

 

Principal Amount.

 

If the Final Price is less than the Threshold Price (the Percentage Change is negative and below -30%), then the investor will receive less than the Principal Amount, if anything, per Security, calculated using the following formula:

 

Principal Amount + (Principal Amount x Percentage Change).

 

If the Final Price is less than the Threshold Price, the investor will have full exposure to the decrease in the price of the Reference Asset and will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of the Principal Amount. Specifically, investors will lose 1% of the Principal Amount for each 1% decrease from the Initial Price to the Final Price and may lose all of the Principal Amount.

 

Historical Performance of the Reference Asset

 

 

 

* The graph above sets forth the historical daily performance of the Reference Asset from January 2, 2008 through December 1, 2017. The graph is based upon actual daily historical closing prices of the Reference Asset.

 

We obtained the information regarding the historical performance of the Reference Asset used in calculating the graph above from Bloomberg® Professional Service (“Bloomberg”).

 

We have not conducted any independent review or due diligence of publicly available information obtained from Bloomberg. The historical performance of the Reference Asset should not be taken as an indication of its future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the Final Price of the Reference Asset. Additionally, the hypothetical examples above reflect the performance of the Reference Asset, and do not reflect or incorporate any terms of the Security. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of the Reference Asset will result in any positive return on your initial investment.

 

We have filed a registration statement (including a prospectus), a product prospectus supplement and a pricing supplement with the SEC for the offering to which this free writing prospectus relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents that we have filed with the SEC for more complete information about us and this offering.

Selected Risk Considerations

 

The risks set forth below are discussed in detail in the "Additional Risk Factors" section in the accompanying preliminary pricing supplement, the "Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes" section in the product prospectus supplement and the "Risk Factors" section in the prospectus. Please review those risk disclosures carefully.

 

Principal at Risk. If the Final Price is less than the Threshold Price, investors in the Securities will lose more than 30%, and possibly all, of their Principal Amount. Specifically, if the Final Price is less than the Threshold Price, you will lose 1% of the Principal Amount of your Securities for each 1% that the Final Price is less than the Initial Price and may lose all of the Principal Amount. For example, if the Reference Asset has declined by 30.1% from the Initial Price to the Final Price, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside feature and you will lose 30.1% of the Principal Amount per Security.

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

Investors Are Subject to TD’s Credit Risk, and TD’s 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.

There May Not Be an Active Trading Market for the Securities — Sales in the Secondary Market May Result in Significant Losses.

The Estimated Value of Your Securities Is Expected to Be Lower Than the Public Offering Price of Your Securities.
The Estimated Value of Your Securities Is Based on Our Internal Funding Rate.

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 May Be 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.
Changes that Affect the Target Index of the Reference Asset Will Affect the Market Value of the Securities and the Amount You Will Receive at Maturity.
The Reference Asset and the Target Index Are Different and the Performance of the Reference Asset May Not Correlate With That of the Target Index.

Adjustments to the Reference Asset Could Adversely Affect the Securities.
