The Bank of Nova Scotia priced a market‑linked senior note offering. The securities are auto‑callable, equity‑linked notes with a $1,000 face amount linked to the lowest performing common stock of Apollo Global Management, Blackstone and KKR. If called approximately one year after issuance, holders receive the face amount plus a 50.00% call premium. If not called, the maturity payment depends solely on the lowest performing underlying stock: a 300% upside participation applies to any positive return, the face amount is returned if the ending price is ≥60% of the starting price, and holders suffer full downside 40% and possibly all) if the lowest performing stock closes below its 60% threshold. The Bank’s estimated value on the pricing date was $914.79 per security. The securities pay no periodic interest, are unsecured senior obligations of the Bank, are subject to the Bank’s credit risk, are not deposit insured, and include distribution fees and hedging costs reflected in the offering price.
