The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $4,527,000 of Auto-Callable Trigger PLUS, principal-at-risk notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index®, maturing on January 4, 2029. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays no interest or dividends.
The notes can be automatically redeemed on January 12, 2027 for $1,096.90 per security if the index on the January 7, 2027 determination date is at or above the initial index value of 25,462.56. If not called, at maturity investors receive $1,000 plus 150% of any index gain. If the final index value is at or below the initial level but at or above the trigger level of 20,370.048 (80% of the initial value), they receive $1,000.
If the final index value falls below the trigger level, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% index decline and could lose their entire investment. The estimated value on the pricing date is $967.70 per $1,000, the notes will not be listed on any exchange, and all payments depend on the credit of BNS.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $32,652,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due January 5, 2029, linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc. The notes are principal-at-risk senior unsecured debt under BNS’ Senior Note Program, Series A.
Investors may receive a $45.00 contingent quarterly coupon per $1,000 note (equivalent to 18.00% per annum) for each determination date on which Tesla’s closing price is at least 60.00% of the initial share price of $454.43, a downside threshold of $272.658. If on any non-final determination date Tesla closes at or above 100.00% of the initial price, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons under the “memory” feature.
If the notes are not called and the final share price is at or above the downside threshold, investors receive principal plus the due coupon(s). If the final share price is below the downside threshold, the maturity payment equals the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor, and can be less than 60.00% of principal or zero, meaning a significant or total loss is possible. The notes are not listed, have limited liquidity, carry BNS credit risk, and have an estimated value on the pricing date of $974.40 per $1,000 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes tied to the common stock of Oklo Inc., with stated maturity on January 5, 2029. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and pays a 28.40% per annum contingent coupon, but only for quarters when Oklo’s stock closes at or above the coupon threshold, set at 50% of the $71.62 starting price (that is $35.81). Missed coupons can be paid later under the memory feature if the threshold is met on a future calculation day.
The notes are auto-callable quarterly from March 2026 through September 2028 if Oklo’s stock closes at or above the $71.62 starting price, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If not called, principal is protected only if the final stock price is at or above the downside threshold of $35.81; below that level, investors are fully exposed to the decline and can lose more than 50%, up to their entire principal. The Bank’s estimated value is $930.91 per $1,000 security, and total original offering proceeds are $6,272,688.50 before hedging profits.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes tied to the common stock of Tesla, Inc., maturing on December 30, 2026. Each security has a $1,000 face amount, pays a fixed coupon at 15.25% per annum in monthly installments, and may be automatically called if Tesla’s stock closes on any monthly calculation day from June to November 2026 at or above the starting price of $454.43. If called, investors receive the face amount plus the final coupon.
If the notes are not called, the maturity payout depends entirely on Tesla’s stock price on the final calculation day. Investors receive $1,000 per security only if the ending price is at or above the downside threshold of $272.658 (60% of the starting price). Below that level, repayment is reduced in proportion to the stock’s decline, so investors can lose more than 40%, up to all, of their principal. Investors do not participate in any stock upside and receive no dividends.
The original offering price is $1,000 per security, with an estimated value of about $978.66, reflecting selling commissions, structuring and hedging costs. The notes are not insured, are subject to the Bank’s credit risk, will not be listed on an exchange, and may have limited or no secondary market liquidity.

If not called, investors receive $1,000 at maturity only if the final stock price is at or above 50% of the starting price; otherwise they lose more than 50%, up to all, of principal. The total offering is $12,426,000, with proceeds to the Bank of about $12.14 million after selling discounts, and the Bank’s estimated value is $981.01 per $1,000.

If never called and the lowest index ends at or above 75% of its starting level at maturity, investors receive $1,000; if it finishes below 75%, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with index losses, so investors can lose more than 25%, up to their entire principal.
