[424B2] Bank of Nova Scotia Prospectus Supplement

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering US$740,000 of Autocallable Contingent Buffered Return Enhanced Notes linked to an equally weighted basket of seven U.S-listed equities. The unsecured senior notes settle on 7-Jul-2025, have a maximum tenor of roughly 24 months, and will not be listed on any exchange. Key commercial terms are as follows:

• Automatic call: If the Basket Closing Value on the 13-Jul-2026 Review Date is ≥100% of the Initial Basket Value (100), investors receive US$1,162.50 per US$1,000 note (principal plus a 16.25% Call Premium) and the trade terminates early.
• Upside at maturity (if not called): 125% participation in any positive basket return with no cap.
• Downside protection: 20% buffer; if final basket value falls below 80, principal loss is leveraged at 1.25× the decline beyond the buffer, exposing holders to up to a 100% loss.
• Underlying basket (equal 1/7 weights): CEG, META, MRVL, MSFT, NVDA, VRT, VST. Initial component prices were fixed on 30-Jun-2025.
• Credit & liquidity: Notes are unsubordinated but unsecured BNS obligations, not insured by CDIC/FDIC, and will trade only OTC at the discretion of Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. (SCUSA). No periodic coupons are paid.
• Pricing economics: Original issue price 100% of par; initial estimated value US$963.09 (≈96.3% of par) reflects selling costs, hedging and BNS’s internal funding rate. Underwriting/placement fee is 1.50% (forgone on fiduciary accounts).
• Risk disclosures: extensive market, credit, liquidity and tax risks highlighted; investors may lose full principal; secondary market likely to be thin.

Administrative details include CUSIP 06419DAA1, trade date 1-Jul-2025, maturity date 7-Jul-2027, and SCUSA/JPMS acting as agents. The product is intended for investors who understand structured notes, can bear full downside, and are comfortable with BNS credit exposure.

Positive

• 16.25% fixed call premium provides a known double-digit return if the basket is flat or higher at the one-year review.
• 125% upside participation after year one offers leveraged exposure should the basket rally and the note not be called.
• 20% downside buffer shields principal against moderate market declines before losses begin.
• Diversified seven-stock basket spanning large-cap tech (MSFT, NVDA), social media (META) and energy/utilities (CEG, VST) reduces single-name shock.

Negative

• Unsecured BNS credit risk: default would leave investors with little or no recovery.
• Potential 100% principal loss if the basket falls more than 20% at maturity.
• Liquidity constraints: notes are not exchange-listed; secondary market is discretionary and may feature wide spreads.
• Pricing premium: initial estimated value is only 96.3% of par, meaning investors pay an implicit 3.7% fee up-front.
• Reinvestment risk: automatic call after 12 months caps returns, forcing investors to deploy proceeds in a potentially lower-yield environment.

Insights

Structured Products Analyst

TL;DR Two-year autocall note offers 16.25% call premium and 125% upside, but credit and market risks could erase principal.

BNS’s design is standard for U.S. retail structured notes: a short tenor, single review date, 20% buffer and leveraged downside. The 16.25% call premium is moderately attractive relative to typical 12-15% levels for similar baskets, reflecting the high implied volatility of the seven growth-oriented components (notably NVDA, META, MRVL). Because the call threshold equals the initial basket level, investors face significant reinvestment risk—if markets rally early, the note terminates after one year, capping returns at 16.25%.

The 125% participation rate is appealing if the basket appreciates after avoiding an early call, yet actual realised upside will depend on the probability of not being called—historically low for tech-heavy baskets in bullish regimes. Importantly, the initial estimated value (96.3% of par) indicates a 3.7% pricing premium to investors. Secondary liquidity will rely solely on SCUSA; bid/ask spreads may widen notably in stress scenarios.

Credit & Risk Analyst

TL;DR Investors assume unsecured BNS credit risk and potentially 100% principal loss; issuance immaterial to BNS balance-sheet.

The notes rank pari passu with other senior BNS liabilities but are unsecured. While BNS carries a solid high-grade rating, any negative credit migration would directly impact note valuation. From an issuer perspective, US$0.74 million is de minimis versus BNS’s C$1 trillion asset base; hence, the transaction is not financially material to shareholders.

Structural risks include a discontinuous payoff around the 80% buffer and leverage factor of 1.25, heightening tail risk. Investors also face tax uncertainty (prepaid derivative treatment assumed) and FATCA/871(m) exposure. Overall, the product suits yield-seeking clients with a bullish to neutral 12-month equity view who can tolerate potential total loss.

Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the Notes or passed upon the accuracy or the adequacy of this pricing supplement, the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement or prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The Notes are not insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “CDIC”) pursuant to the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act (the “CDIC Act”) or the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) or any other government agency of Canada, the United States or any other jurisdiction.

Pricing Supplement dated July 1, 2025

Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. J.P. Morgan Securities LLC Placement Agent

The Notes offered hereunder are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Bank and are subject to investment risks including the credit risk of the Bank. As used in this pricing supplement, the “Bank,” “we,” “us” or “our” refers to The Bank of Nova Scotia. The Notes will not be listed on any U.S. securities exchange or automated quotation system.

The Notes are derivative products based on the price return of the Basket Components. All payments on the Notes will be made in cash. The Notes do not constitute a direct investment in the shares of the Basket Components. By acquiring the Notes, you will not have a direct economic or other interest in, claim or entitlement to, or any legal or beneficial ownership of the Basket Components, including without limitation, any voting rights or rights to receive any dividends or other distributions.

As described on the cover of this pricing supplement, JPMS and its affiliates have agreed to act as the placement agents for the Notes. Our affiliate, SCUSA, may use this pricing supplement in market-making transactions in the Notes after their initial sale. Unless we, SCUSA or another of our affiliates selling such Notes to you informs you otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this pricing supplement is being used in a market-making transaction. See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in this pricing supplement and “Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying product supplement.

Additional Information Regarding Estimated Value of the Notes

On the cover page of this pricing supplement, the Bank has provided the initial estimated value for the Notes. The initial estimated value was determined by reference to the Bank’s internal pricing models, which take into consideration certain factors, such as the Bank’s internal funding rate on the Trade Date and the Bank’s assumptions about market parameters. For more information about the initial estimated value, see “Additional Risks — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity” herein.

The economic terms of the Notes are based on the Bank’s internal funding rate, which is the rate the Bank would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of similar market-linked notes, the underwriting discount and the costs associated with selling and structuring the Notes, including the economic terms of certain related hedging arrangements. Due to these factors, the Original Issue Price you pay to purchase the Notes is greater than the initial estimated value of the Notes. The Bank’s internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate the Bank would pay when it issues conventional fixed rate debt securities as discussed further under “Additional Risks — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity — Neither the Bank’s nor SCUSA’s estimated value of the Notes at any time is determined by reference to credit spreads or the borrowing rate the Bank would pay for its conventional fixed-rate debt securities” herein. The Bank’s use of its internal funding rate reduces the economic terms of the Notes to you.

The value of your Notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted; however, assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Trade Date, the price at which SCUSA may initially buy or sell the Notes in the secondary market, if any, may exceed our estimated value on the Trade Date for a temporary period expected to be approximately 3 months after the Original 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 that 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, which may include the tenor of the Notes and/or any agreement we may have with the Agents. The amount of our estimated costs that 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 Original Issue Date based on changes in market conditions and other factors that cannot be predicted.

For additional information regarding the price at which SCUSA would buy or sell your Notes (if SCUSA makes a market, which it is not obligated to do), each based on SCUSA’s pricing models; see “Additional Risks — Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity — The price at which SCUSA would buy or sell your Notes (if SCUSA makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) will be based on SCUSA’s estimated value of your Notes”.

We urge you to read the “Additional Risks” beginning on page P-10 of this pricing supplement.

ADDITIONAL RISKS

An investment in the Notes involves significant risks. In addition to the following risks included in this pricing supplement, we urge you to read “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” beginning on page PS-6 of the accompanying product supplement and “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-2 of the accompanying prospectus supplement and page 8 of the accompanying prospectus.

You should understand the risks of investing in the Notes and carefully consider, with your advisors, the suitability of the Notes in light of your particular financial circumstances and the information set forth in this pricing supplement and in the accompanying product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus.

Risks Relating to Return Characteristics

No interest

The Notes will not bear interest and, accordingly, you will not receive any payments on the Notes other than pursuant to an automatic call or, if the Notes are not automatically called, the Payment at Maturity.

Your investment in the Notes may result in a substantial loss

If the Notes are not automatically called and the Final Basket Value is less than the Buffer Value, your investment will be exposed to a loss on a leveraged basis. Specifically, you will lose 1.25% of the Principal Amount of the Notes for each 1% that the Final Basket Value is less than the Initial Basket Value in excess of the Buffer Amount. You may lose up to 100% of your investment in the Notes.

If the Notes are not automatically called and the Final Basket Value is less than the Initial Basket Value, you will not receive a positive return on your Notes and may instead lose up to 100% of the Principal Amount of your Notes.

You may not receive a positive return on the Notes. The Notes will not be automatically called unless the Basket Closing Value on the Review Date is equal to or greater than the Call Value. If the Notes are not automatically called and the Final Basket Value is less than the Initial Basket Value, you will not receive a positive return on your Notes. To the contrary, you may lose some or all of your Principal Amount in such a circumstance, as described above.

The Notes may be automatically called prior to the Maturity Date and are subject to reinvestment risk

If your Notes are subject to an automatic call, no further payments will be owed to you under the Notes after the Call Payment Date. Because the Notes could be called on the Call Payment Date, the holding period could be limited. No additional payments will be made on the Notes after the Call Payment Date. If the Notes are automatically called, the amount that you receive on the Notes could be less than if the Notes had remained outstanding until maturity, and you may not be able to reinvest any amounts received on the Notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk. Furthermore, to the extent you are able to reinvest such proceeds in an investment with a comparable return for a similar level of risk, you may incur transaction costs built into the price of the new notes. The automatic call feature may also adversely impact your ability to sell the Notes and the price at which they may be sold in the secondary market, if any.

The amount payable on the Notes, if any, is not linked to the value of the Basket Components at any time other than the Review Date or the Final Valuation Date

Whether the Notes will be automatically called will be based only on the Basket Closing Value on the Review Date, which is determined by reference to the Closing Value of each Basket Component on the Review Date. The Notes may not be automatically called even if the value of a Basket Component before or after the Review Date is higher than its Closing Value on the Review Date. If the Notes are not automatically called, the Payment at Maturity will be based only on the Basket Closing Value on the Final Valuation Date, which is determined by reference to the Closing Value of each Basket Component on the Final Valuation Date. The Final Basket Value may be less than the Buffer Value (and, accordingly, the return on your Notes may be negative) even if the value of the Basket Components at any other time during the term of the Notes is equal to or greater than the Buffer Value.

The Call Premium and Buffer Value reflect, in part, the volatility of the Basket Components and greater volatility generally indicates an increased risk of loss at maturity

Volatility is a measure of the frequency and magnitude of the movements of the price of an asset (or value of an index). The terms of the Notes, including the Call Premium and Buffer Value, are based on a number of factors, including the expected volatility of the Basket Components. The Call Premium is higher than it otherwise would have been had the expected volatility of the Basket Components, calculated as of the time the terms of the Notes are set, been lower. As volatility of the Basket Components increase, there will typically be a greater likelihood that the Basket Closing Value on the Review Date will be less than the Call Value and that the Final Basket Value will be less than the Buffer Value and, as a consequence, indicates an increased risk of not receiving the Call Premium and an increased risk of loss, respectively. All things being equal, this greater expected volatility will generally be reflected in a higher Call Premium or lower Buffer Value, which may indicate an increased risk of loss.

P-10

In addition, while the Call Premium and the Buffer Value are set based on the expected volatility of the Basket Components at the time the terms of the Notes are determined, the actual volatility of the Basket Components over the term of the Notes may be significantly higher, and therefore you will face an even greater risk that you will not receive the Call Premium and/or that you will lose a significant portion or all of your principal at maturity.

The Notes differ from conventional debt instruments

The Notes are not conventional notes or debt instruments. The Notes do not provide you with interest payments as a conventional fixed-rate or floating-rate debt security with the same maturity would. The return that you will receive on the Notes 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, interest-bearing senior debt security of the Bank.

Holding the Notes is not the same as holding the Basket Components

Holding the Notes is not the same as holding the Basket Components. For example, as a holder of the Notes, you will not be entitled to the voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or other rights that holders of the Basket Components would enjoy.

Risks Relating to Characteristics of the Basket and the Basket Components

The Notes are subject to single stock risk associated with the Basket Components

The return on the Notes is directly linked to the performance of the Basket Components. The value of the Basket Components can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the issuer of the Basket Components (each, a “Basket Component Issuer”), as well as general market factors, such as general market volatility and levels, interest rates and economic, political and other conditions.

Correlation (or lack of correlation) among the Basket Components may adversely affect your return on the Notes

“Correlation” is a measure of the degree to which the returns of a pair of assets are similar to each other over a given period in terms of timing and direction. Movements in the levels of the Basket Components may not correlate with each other. At a time when the level of a Basket Component increases, the level of another Basket Component may not increase as much, or may even decline. Therefore, in calculating the Basket Closing Value on the Review Date or Final Valuation Date, as applicable, an increase in the level of one Basket Component may be moderated, wholly offset or reversed by a lesser increase, or by a decline, in the level of another Basket Component. Further, high correlation of movements in the levels of the Basket Components could adversely affect your return on the Notes during periods of negative performance of the Basket Components. Changes in the correlation of the Basket Components may adversely affect the market value of, and return on, your Notes.

Investors should investigate the Basket Components as if making a direct investment in the Basket Components

Investors should conduct their own diligence of the Basket Components as an investor would if it were making a direct investment in the Basket Components. Neither we nor any of our affiliates have participated in the preparation of any publicly available information or made any “due diligence” investigation or inquiry with respect to the Basket Components. Furthermore, we cannot give any assurance that all events occurring prior to the Original Issue Date have been properly disclosed. Subsequent disclosure of any such events or the disclosure or failure to disclose material future events concerning the Basket Components could affect any payment on the Notes. Investors should not conclude that the sale by the Bank of the Notes is any form of investment recommendation by the Bank or any of its affiliates to invest in securities linked to the performance of the Basket Components.

Past performance of the Basket Components should not be taken as an indication of the future performance of the Basket Components

The value of the Basket Components has fluctuated in the past and may in the future experience significant fluctuations. The historical performance of the Basket Components is not an indication of future performance. The performance of the Basket Components over the term of the Notes may bear no relation or resemblance to its historical performance.

There is limited trading history for the common stock of Constellation Energy Corporation

The common stock of Constellation Energy Corporation has a limited trading history on its current primary exchange and, therefore, an investment based on the performance of such stock may involve greater risks than an investment linked to the common stock of a company with a more established record of performance. While past performance of a Basket Component should not be considered indicative of future performance, a longer trading history for the common stock of Constellation Energy Corporation would provide you with more information on which to base an investment decision. For additional information about Constellation Energy Corporation, see “Information Regarding the Basket and the Basket Components” herein.

P-11

Risks Relating to Estimated Value and Liquidity

The Bank’s initial estimated value of the Notes at the time of pricing is lower than the Original Issue Price of the Notes

The Bank’s initial estimated value of the Notes is only an estimate. The Original Issue Price of the Notes exceeds the Bank’s initial estimated value. The difference between the Original Issue Price of the Notes and the Bank’s initial estimated value reflects costs associated with selling and structuring the Notes, as well as hedging its obligations under the Notes.

Neither the Bank’s nor SCUSA’s estimated value of the Notes at any time is determined by reference to credit spreads or the borrowing rate the Bank would pay for its conventional fixed-rate debt securities

The Bank’s initial estimated value of the Notes and SCUSA’s estimated value of the Notes at any time are determined by reference to the Bank’s internal funding rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the Notes generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for the Bank’s conventional fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate the Bank would pay for its conventional fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among other things, the Bank’s view of the funding value of the Notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the Notes in comparison to those costs for the Bank’s conventional fixed-rate debt. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for the Bank’s conventional fixed-rate debt securities, or the borrowing rate the Bank would pay for its conventional fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, the Bank would expect the economic terms of the Notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently, the use of an internal funding rate for the Notes increases the estimated value of the Notes at any time and has an adverse effect on the economic terms of the Notes.

The Bank’s initial estimated value of the Notes does not represent future values of the Notes and may differ from others’ (including SCUSA’s) estimates

The Bank’s initial estimated value of the Notes was determined by reference to its internal pricing models. These pricing models consider certain factors, such as the Bank’s internal funding rate on the Trade Date, the expected term of the Notes, market conditions and other relevant factors existing at that time, and the Bank’s assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. Different pricing models and assumptions (including the pricing models and assumptions used by SCUSA) could provide valuations for the Notes that are different, and perhaps materially lower, from the Bank’s initial estimated value. Therefore, the price at which SCUSA would buy or sell your Notes (if SCUSA makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) may be materially lower than the Bank’s initial estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.

The price at which SCUSA would buy or sell your Notes (if SCUSA makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) will be based on SCUSA’s estimated value of your Notes

SCUSA’s estimated value of the Notes is determined by reference to its pricing models and takes into account the Bank’s internal funding rate. Assuming that all relevant factors remain constant after the Trade Date, the price at which SCUSA would initially buy or sell your Notes in the secondary market (if SCUSA makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) may exceed SCUSA’s estimated value of your Notes as of the Trade Date. As agreed by SCUSA and the Agents, this excess is expected to decline to zero over the period specified under “Additional Information Regarding Estimated Value of the Notes” herein. Thereafter, if SCUSA buys or sells your Notes, it will do so at prices that reflect the estimated value determined by reference to SCUSA’s pricing models at that time. The price at which SCUSA will buy or sell your Notes at any time also will reflect its then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes. If SCUSA calculated its estimated value of your Notes by reference to the Bank’s credit spreads or the borrowing rate the Bank would pay for its conventional fixed-rate debt securities (as opposed to the Bank’s internal funding rate), the price at which SCUSA would buy or sell your Notes (if SCUSA makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) could be significantly lower.

SCUSA’s pricing models consider certain variables, including principally the Bank’s internal funding rate, interest rates (forecasted, current and historical rates), volatility, price-sensitivity analysis and the time to maturity of the Notes. These pricing models are proprietary and rely in part on certain assumptions about future events, which may prove to be incorrect. As a result, the actual value you would receive if you sold your Notes in the secondary market, if any, to others may differ, perhaps materially, from the estimated value of your Notes determined by reference to SCUSA’s models, taking into account the Bank’s internal funding rate, due to, among other things, any differences in pricing models or assumptions used by others. See “— The price at which the Notes may be sold prior to maturity will depend on a number of factors and may be substantially less than the amount for which they were originally purchased” herein.

In addition to the factors discussed above, the value and quoted price of your Notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted. If SCUSA makes a market in the Notes, the price quoted by SCUSA would reflect any changes in market conditions and other relevant factors, including any deterioration in the Bank’s creditworthiness or perceived creditworthiness. These changes may adversely affect the value of your Notes, including the price you may receive for your Notes in any market making transaction. To the extent that SCUSA makes a market in the Notes, the quoted price will reflect the estimated value determined by reference to SCUSA’s pricing models at that time, plus or minus SCUSA’s then current bid and ask spread for similar sized trades of structured notes (and subject to the declining excess amount described above).

P-12

Furthermore, if you sell your Notes, you will likely be charged a commission for secondary market transactions, or the price will likely reflect a dealer discount. This commission or discount will further reduce the proceeds you would receive for your Notes in a secondary market sale.

There is no assurance that SCUSA or any other party will be willing to purchase your Notes at any price and, in this regard, SCUSA is not obligated to make a market in the Notes. See “— The Notes lack liquidity” herein.

The price at which the Notes may be sold prior to maturity will depend on a number of factors and may be substantially less than the amount for which they were originally purchased

The price at which the Notes may be sold prior to maturity will depend on a number of factors. Some of these factors include, but are not limited to: (i) actual or anticipated changes in the value of the Basket Components over the full term of the Notes, (ii) volatility of the Basket Components and the market’s perception of future volatility of the Basket Components, (iii) the correlation among the Basket Components, (iv) changes in interest rates generally, (v) any actual or anticipated changes in our credit ratings or credit spreads and (vi) the time remaining to maturity. In particular, because the provisions of the Notes relating to the automatic call feature and the Payment at Maturity behave like options, the value of the Notes will vary in ways which are non-linear and may not be intuitive.

Depending on the actual or anticipated value of the Basket Components and other relevant factors, the market value of the Notes may decrease and you may receive substantially less than 100% of the issue price if you sell your Notes prior to maturity.

See “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes — Risks Relating to Liquidity — The Market Value of Your Notes May Be Influenced by Many Unpredictable Factors” in the accompanying product supplement.

The Notes lack liquidity

The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the Notes. SCUSA and any other affiliates of the Bank may, but are not obligated to, make a market in the Notes. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the Notes easily. Because we do not expect that other broker-dealers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which SCUSA is willing to purchase the Notes from you. If at any time SCUSA does not make a market in the Notes, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the Notes. Accordingly, you should be willing to hold your Notes to maturity.

Risks Relating to Hedging Activities and Conflicts of Interest

There are potential conflicts of interest between you and the Calculation Agent

Scotia Capital Inc., the Calculation Agent, is one of our affiliates. In performing its duties, the economic interests of the Calculation Agent are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. The Calculation Agent is under no obligation to consider your interests as a holder of the Notes in taking any actions that might affect the value of the Basket Components or the value of, and return on, the Notes.

Hedging activities by the Bank and SCUSA may negatively impact investors in the Notes and cause our respective interests and those of our clients and counterparties to be contrary to those of investors in the Notes

The Bank, SCUSA or one or more of our other affiliates has hedged or expects to hedge the obligations under the Notes by purchasing shares of the Basket Components, futures and/or other instruments linked to the Basket Components. The Bank, SCUSA or one or more of our other affiliates also expects to adjust the hedge by, among other things, purchasing or selling any of the foregoing, and perhaps other instruments linked to the Basket Components, at any time and from time to time, and to unwind the hedge by selling any of the foregoing on or before the Final Valuation Date.

The Bank, SCUSA or one or more of our other affiliates may also enter into, adjust and unwind hedging transactions relating to other basket- or index-linked notes whose returns are linked to changes in the price of the Basket Components. Any of these hedging activities may adversely affect the value of the Basket Components and, therefore, the market value of, and return on, the Notes.

P-13

The Bank, the Agents and/or our or their affiliates regularly provide services to, or otherwise have business relationships with, a broad client base, which may include the Basket Component Issuers and the market activities by the Bank, the Agents or our respective affiliates for our own account or for our clients could negatively impact investors in the Notes

We, the Agents and/or our or their respective affiliates regularly provide a wide range of financial services, including financial advisory, investment advisory and transactional services to a substantial and diversified client base. As such, we each may act as an investor, investment banker, research provider, investment manager, investment advisor, market maker, trader, prime broker or lender. In those and other capacities, we, the Agents and/or our other affiliates purchase, sell or hold a broad array of investments, actively trade securities (including the Notes or other securities that we have issued), the Basket Components, derivatives, loans, credit default swaps, indices, baskets and other financial instruments and products for our own accounts or for the accounts of our customers, and we will have other direct or indirect interests, in those securities and in other markets that may not be consistent with your interests and may adversely affect the value of the Basket Components and/or the value of the Notes. You should assume that we or they will, at present or in the future, provide such services or otherwise engage in transactions with, among others, us and the Basket Component Issuers, or transact in securities or instruments or with parties that are directly or indirectly related to these entities. These services could include making loans to or equity investments in those companies, providing financial advisory or other investment banking services, or issuing research reports. Any of these financial market activities may, individually or in the aggregate, have an adverse effect on the value of the Basket Components and the market for your Notes, and you should expect that our interests and those of the Agents and/or our other affiliates, clients or counterparties, will at times be adverse to those of investors in the Notes.

You should expect that we, the Agents and our respective affiliates, in providing these services, engaging in such transactions, or acting for our or their own respective accounts, may take actions that have direct or indirect effects on the Notes or other securities that we may issue, the Basket Components or other securities or instruments similar to or linked to the foregoing, and that such actions could be adverse to the interests of investors in the Notes. In addition, in connection with these activities, certain personnel within the Bank, the Agents and/or our or their respective affiliates may have access to confidential material non-public information about these parties that would not be disclosed to investors in the Notes.

We, the Agents and/or our or their respective affiliates regularly offer a wide array of securities, financial instruments and other products into the marketplace, including existing or new products that are similar to the Notes or other securities that we may issue, the Basket Components or other securities or instruments similar to or linked to the foregoing. Investors in the Notes should expect that the Bank, the Agents and/or our or their respective affiliates offer securities, financial instruments, and other products that may compete with the Notes for liquidity or otherwise.

Risks Relating to General Credit Characteristics

Your investment is subject to the credit risk of the Bank

The Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Bank, and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. As further described in the accompanying prospectus, prospectus supplement and product supplement, the Notes will rank on par with all of the other unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the Bank, except such obligations as may be preferred by operation of law. Any payment to be made on the Notes, including the payment upon an automatic call or at maturity, depends on the ability of the Bank to satisfy its obligations as they come due. As a result, the actual and perceived creditworthiness of the Bank may affect the market value of the Notes and, in the event the Bank were to default on its obligations, you may not receive the amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes. If you sell the Notes prior to maturity, you may receive substantially less than the Principal Amount of your Notes.

Risks Relating to Canadian and U.S. Federal Income Taxation

Uncertain tax treatment

Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. You should consult your tax advisor about your tax situation. See “Material Canadian Income Tax Consequences” and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this pricing supplement.

INFORMATION REGARDING THE BASKET AND THE BASKET COMPONENTS

All disclosures contained in this document regarding the Basket and Basket Components is derived from publicly available information. We have not conducted any independent review or due diligence of any publicly available information with respect to the Basket and Basket Components. You should make your own investigation into the Basket and Basket Components.

Included on the following pages is a brief description of the Basket and Basket Component Issuers. This information has been obtained from publicly available sources. Set forth below are graphs that illustrate the past performance for each of the Basket Components and a hypothetical Basket. We obtained the past performance information set forth below from Bloomberg Professional® service (“Bloomberg”) without independent verification.

The historical performance of a Basket Component should not be taken as an indication of its future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the performance of any Basket Component over the term of the Notes. We cannot give you assurance that the performance of any of the Basket Components will result in any positive return on your investment in the Notes. Past performance of a Basket Component is not indicative of its future performance.

Each Basket Component is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and/or the Investment Company Act of 1940, each as amended. Companies with securities registered with the SEC are required to file financial and other information specified by the SEC periodically. Information filed by each Basket Component issuer with the SEC can be reviewed electronically through a website maintained by the SEC. The address of the SEC’s website is sec.gov. Information filed with the SEC by each Basket Component Issuer can be located by reference to its SEC file number provided below

The Basket

Because the Basket is a newly created basket and its level was first calculated on the Strike Date, there is no actual historical information about the Basket Closing Values as of the date hereof. Therefore, the hypothetical Basket Closing Values of the Basket below are calculated based on publicly available information for each Basket Component as reported by Bloomberg without independent verification. We have not conducted any independent review or due diligence of publicly available information obtained from Bloomberg. The hypothetical Basket Closing Value has fluctuated in the past and may, in the future, experience significant fluctuations. The actual Initial Basket Value was set to 100.00 on the Strike Date. Any hypothetical historical upward or downward trend in the Basket Closing Value during any period shown below is not an indication that the Basket is more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time during the term of the Notes.

Hypothetical Historical Basket Closing Value

The graph below illustrates the hypothetical performance of the Basket from January 19, 2022 through July 1, 2025, based on the daily closing levels of the Basket Components, assuming the Basket Closing Value was 100 on January 19, 2022. Past hypothetical performance of the Basket is not indicative of the future performance of the Basket.

Material Canadian Income Tax Consequences

See “Supplemental Discussion of Canadian Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement. In addition to the assumptions, limitations and conditions described therein, such discussion assumes that no amount paid or payable to a Non-Resident Holder will be the deduction component of a “hybrid mismatch arrangement” under which the payment arises within the meaning of paragraph 18.4(3)(b) of the Act.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes are uncertain. There are no statutory provisions, regulations, published rulings or judicial decisions addressing the characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of securities with terms that are substantially the same as the Notes. No ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been sought as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of your investment in the Notes, and the following discussion is not binding on the IRS. Some of these tax consequences are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed discussion under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement and to discuss the tax consequences of your particular situation with your tax advisor. This discussion is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), final, temporary and proposed U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) regulations, rulings and decisions, in each case, as available and in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. Tax consequences under state, local and non-U.S. laws are not addressed herein.

U.S. Tax Treatment. Pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Bank and you agree, in the absence of a statutory or regulatory change or an administrative determination or judicial ruling to the contrary, to characterize the Notes as prepaid derivative contracts with respect to the Basket. If your Notes are so treated, you should generally recognize long-term capital gain or loss if you hold your Notes for more than one year (and, otherwise, short-term capital gain or loss) upon the taxable disposition (including cash settlement) of your Notes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount you receive at such time and the amount you paid for your Notes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Based on certain factual representations received from us, our special U.S. tax counsel, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to treat your Notes in the manner described above. However, because there is no authority that specifically addresses the tax treatment of the Notes, it is possible that your Notes could alternatively be treated for tax purposes as a single contingent payment debt instrument, or pursuant to some other characterization, such that the timing and character of your income from the Notes could differ materially and adversely from the treatment described above.

Except to the extent otherwise required by law, the Bank intends to treat your Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with the treatment described above and under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying product supplement unless and until such time as the IRS and the Treasury determine that some other treatment is more appropriate.

Notice 2008-2. In 2007, the IRS released a notice that may affect the taxation of holders of the Notes. According to Notice 2008-2, the IRS and the Treasury are considering whether a holder of an instrument such as the Notes should be required to accrue ordinary income on a current basis. It is not possible to determine what guidance they will ultimately issue, if any. It is possible, however, that under such guidance, holders of the Notes will ultimately be required to accrue income currently and this could be applied on a retroactive basis. According to the Notice, the IRS and the Treasury are also considering other relevant issues, including whether additional gain or loss from such instruments should be treated as ordinary or capital, whether non-U.S. holders of such instruments should be subject to withholding tax on any deemed income accruals, and whether the special “constructive ownership rules” of Section 1260 of the Code should be applied to such instruments. Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the significance, and the potential impact, of the above considerations.

Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income. U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or certain trusts are subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust, which may include any income or gain realized with respect to the Notes, to the extent of their net investment income or undistributed net investment income (as the case may be) that, when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return or the dollar amount at which the highest tax bracket begins for an estate or trust. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the regular income tax. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors as to the consequences of the 3.8% Medicare tax.

Specified Foreign Financial Assets. U.S. holders may be subject to reporting obligations with respect to their Notes if they do not hold their Notes in an account maintained by a financial institution and the aggregate value of their Notes and certain other “specified foreign financial assets” (applying certain attribution rules) exceeds an applicable threshold. Significant penalties can apply if a U.S. holder is required to disclose its Notes and fails to do so.

P-23

Non-U.S. Holders. If you are a non-U.S. holder, subject to Section 871(m) of the Code and FATCA, discussed below, you should generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments on your Notes or to generally applicable information reporting and backup withholding requirements with respect to payments on your Notes if you comply with certain certification and identification requirements as to your non-U.S. status including providing us (and/or the applicable withholding agent) a properly executed and fully completed applicable IRS Form W-8. Subject to Section 897 of the Code and Section 871(m) of the Code, as discussed below, gain realized from the taxable disposition of the Notes generally will not be subject to U.S. tax unless (i) such gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by you in the U.S., (ii) you are a non-resident alien individual and are present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year of such taxable disposition and certain other conditions are satisfied or (iii) you have certain other present or former connections with the U.S.

Section 897. We will not attempt to ascertain whether any Basket Component Issuer would be treated as a “United States real property holding corporation” (a “USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code. We also have not attempted to determine whether the Notes should be treated as “United States real property interests” (“USRPI”) as defined in Section 897 of the Code. If any such entity and/or the Notes were so treated, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could possibly apply, including subjecting any gain realized by a non-U.S. holder in respect of a Note upon a taxable disposition of the Note to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis, and the proceeds from such a taxable disposition to a 15% withholding tax. Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential treatment of any such entity as a USRPHC and/or the Notes as USRPI.

Section 871(m). A 30% withholding tax (which may be reduced by an applicable income tax treaty) is imposed under Section 871(m) of the Code on certain “dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to a non-U.S. holder with respect to a “specified equity-linked instrument” that references one or more dividend-paying U.S. equity securities or indices containing U.S. equity securities. The withholding tax can apply even if the instrument does not provide for payments that reference dividends. Treasury regulations provide that the withholding tax applies to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on specified equity-linked instruments that have a delta of one (“delta-one specified equity-linked instruments”) issued after 2016 and to all dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid on all other specified equity-linked instruments issued after 2017. However, the IRS has issued guidance that states that the Treasury and the IRS intend to amend the effective dates of the Treasury regulations to provide that withholding on dividend equivalents paid or deemed paid will not apply to specified equity-linked instruments that are not delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and are issued before January 1, 2027.

Based on our determination that the Notes are not “delta-one” with respect to the Basket or any Basket Component, our special U.S. tax counsel is of the opinion that the Notes should not be delta-one specified equity-linked instruments and thus should not be subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Furthermore, the application of Section 871(m) of the Code will depend on our determinations on the date the terms of the Notes are set. If withholding is required, we will not make payments of any additional amounts.

Nevertheless, after the date the terms of the Notes are set, it is possible that your Notes could be deemed to be reissued for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain events affecting the Basket or your Notes, and following such occurrence your Notes could be treated as delta-one specified equity-linked instruments that are subject to withholding on dividend equivalents. It is also possible that withholding tax or other tax under Section 871(m) of the Code could apply to the Notes under these rules if you enter, or have entered, into certain other transactions in respect of the Basket, the Basket Components or the Notes. If you enter, or have entered, into other transactions in respect of the Basket, the Basket Components or your Notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the application of Section 871(m) of the Code to your Notes in the context of your other transactions.

Because of the uncertainty regarding the application of the 30% withholding tax on dividend equivalents to the Notes, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) of the Code and the 30% withholding tax to an investment in the Notes.

FATCA. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) was enacted on March 18, 2010, and imposes a 30% U.S. withholding tax on “withholdable payments” (i.e., certain U.S.-source payments, including interest (and original issue discount), dividends, other fixed or determinable annual or periodical gain, profits and income, and the gross proceeds from a disposition of property of a type which can produce U.S.-source interest or dividends) and “passthru payments” (i.e., certain payments attributable to withholdable payments) made to certain foreign financial institutions (and certain of their affiliates) unless the payee foreign financial institution agrees (or is required), among other things, to disclose the identity of any U.S. individual with an account at the institution (or the relevant affiliate) and to annually report certain information about such account. FATCA also requires withholding agents making withholdable payments to certain foreign entities that do not disclose the name, address, and taxpayer identification number of any substantial U.S. owners (or do not certify that they do not have any substantial U.S. owners) to withhold tax at a rate of 30%. Under certain circumstances, a holder may be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes.

P-24

Pursuant to final and temporary Treasury regulations and other IRS guidance, the withholding and reporting requirements under FATCA will generally apply to certain “withholdable payments”, will not apply to gross proceeds on a sale or disposition and will apply to certain foreign passthru payments only to the extent that such payments are made after the date that is two years after final regulations defining the term “foreign passthru payment” are published. If withholding is required, we (or the applicable paying agent) will not be required to pay additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. Foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Investors should consult their tax advisors about the application of FATCA, in particular if they may be classified as financial institutions (or if they hold their Notes through a foreign entity) under the FATCA rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting. The proceeds received from a taxable disposition of the Notes will be subject to information reporting unless you are an “exempt recipient” and may also be subject to backup withholding at the rate specified in the Code if you fail to provide certain identifying information (such as an accurate taxpayer number, if you are a U.S. holder) or meet certain other conditions.

Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not additional taxes and may be refunded or credited against your U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax Treatment of Non-U.S. Holders. A Note may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax if an individual non-U.S. holder holds the Note at the time of his or her death. The gross estate of a non-U.S. holder domiciled outside the U.S. includes only property situated in the U.S. Individual non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of holding the Notes at death.

Proposed Legislation. In 2007, legislation was introduced in Congress that, if it had been enacted, would have required holders of Notes purchased after the bill was enacted to accrue interest income over the term of the Notes despite the fact that there will be no interest payments over the term of the Notes. Furthermore, in 2013, the House Ways and Means Committee released in draft form certain proposed legislation relating to financial instruments. If it had been enacted, the effect of this legislation generally would have been to require instruments such as the Notes to be marked to market on an annual basis with all gains and losses to be treated as ordinary, subject to certain exceptions.

It is impossible to predict whether any similar or identical bills will be enacted in the future, or whether any such bill would affect the tax treatment of your Notes. You are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the possible changes in law and their possible impact on the tax treatment of your Notes.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, as well as any tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership and disposition of the Notes arising under the laws of any state, local, non-U.S. or other taxing jurisdiction (including that of the Bank).

Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)

SCUSA, our affiliate, has agreed to purchase the Notes at the Original Issue Price and, as part of the distribution of the Notes, has agreed to sell the Notes to JPMS. JPMS and its affiliates have agreed to act as placement agents for the Notes. The placement agents will receive a fee per Note equal to the amount specified on the cover hereof, but will forgo fees for sales to fiduciary accounts. In accordance with the terms of a distributor accession letter, JPMS has been appointed as a distribution agent under the distribution agreement and may purchase Notes from the Bank or its affiliates. SCUSA and our other affiliates or agents may use the accompanying product supplement to which this pricing supplement relates in market-making transactions after the initial sale of the Notes. While SCUSA may make markets in the Notes, it is under no obligation to do so and may discontinue any market-making activities at any time without notice. Additionally, we or one of our affiliates will pay a fee to an unaffiliated broker-dealer for providing certain electronic platform services with respect to this offering. See the section titled “Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying product supplement.

The price at which you purchase the Notes includes costs that the Bank, SCUSA or one or more of our other affiliates expect to incur and profits that the Bank, SCUSA or one or more of our other affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the Notes, as set forth above. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for the Notes. As a result, subject to the temporary period discussed above under “Additional Information Regarding Estimated Value of the Notes”, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your Notes on the Original Issue Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any commissions or discounts paid to JPMS shall not be rebated if the Notes are automatically called.

Conflicts of Interest

SCUSA is an affiliate of the Bank and, as such, has a “conflict of interest” in this offering within the meaning of FINRA Rule 5121. In addition, the Bank will receive the gross proceeds from the initial public offering of the Notes, thus creating an additional conflict of interest within the meaning of Rule 5121. Consequently, the offering is being conducted in compliance with the provisions of Rule 5121. SCUSA is not permitted to sell Notes in this offering to an account over which it exercises discretionary authority without the prior specific written approval of the account holder.

The Agents and our and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Agents and our and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for the Bank, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Agents and our or their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Bank. The Agents and our and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. 

Prohibition of Sales to EEA Retail Investors

The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (“EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU, as amended (“MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, as amended. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014, as amended (the “PRIIPs Regulation”), for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

Prohibition of Sales to United Kingdom Retail Investors

The only categories of person in the United Kingdom to whom this document may be distributed are those persons who (i) have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within the definition of investment professionals (as defined in Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 (as amended, the “Financial Promotion Order”)), (ii) are persons falling within Article 49(2)(a) to (d) (“high net worth companies, unincorporated associations etc.”) of the Financial Promotion Order, or (iii) are persons to whom an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”)) in connection with the issue or sale of any securities may otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons in (i)-(iii) above together being referred to as “Relevant Persons”). This document is directed only at Relevant Persons and must not be acted on or relied on by persons who are not Relevant Persons. Any investment or investment activity to which

P-26

this document relates is available only to Relevant Persons and will be engaged in only with Relevant Persons. This document may only be provided to persons in the United Kingdom in circumstances where section 21(1) of FSMA does not apply to the Bank. The Notes are not being offered to “retail investors” within the meaning of the Packaged Retail and Insurance-based Investment Products Regulations 2017 and accordingly no Key Information Document has been produced under these regulations.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the Trustees’ authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and the genuineness of signatures and certain factual matters, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated October 9, 2024, which has been filed as Exhibit 5.2 to the Bank’s Form F-3 filed with the SEC on October 9, 2024.
