The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $27,635,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, maturing December 20, 2027. These unsecured notes pay no interest and their value at maturity depends on how the S&P 500 performs between December 16, 2025 and December 16, 2027.
If the index rises, holders receive 150% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,217.50 per $1,000 note (a 21.75% maximum return). If the index is flat or down by up to 10%, investors receive back only the $1,000 principal per note. If the index falls more than 10%, losses accelerate: investors lose about 1.1111% of principal for each 1% decline beyond that buffer and can lose all of their investment.
The notes are not insured, are not listed on any exchange, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value is $977.37 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.

The notes are automatically called if, on any call observation date from June through December 2026, Meta’s price is at or above the initial price. In that case, investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and the notes terminate early. If the notes are not called and the final price on January 19, 2027 is at least 68.00% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon.
If the final price is below 68.00% of the initial price, investors receive Meta shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price (or cash if less than one share), whose value on the final valuation date will be less than 68.00% of principal, meaning a substantial or total loss is possible. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured, will not be listed on an exchange, and have an initial estimated value of $973.43 per $1,000, lower than the issue price.
