The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior note ETF-linked securities (face amount $1,000 per security) that are auto-callable with a contingent monthly coupon and contingent downside principal-at-risk.
The contingent coupon rate will be set on the pricing date and will be at least 9.50% per annum. The securities are linked to the lowest performing of four Select Sector SPDR ETFs (Energy, Financials, Technology, Health Care). They may be automatically called if the lowest performing Fund closes at or above its starting price on any monthly calculation day from September 2026 through November 2030. If not called, principal at maturity depends on the lowest performing Fund's ending price versus a downside threshold equal to 50% of its starting price; a final shortfall can exceed 50% of face amount. All payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk.

All payments depend on BNS creditworthiness.
