The notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon of at least $25.625 per $1,000 (at least 2.5625% per quarter, up to at least 10.25% per annum) only when SMH’s closing price on an observation date is at or above 70% of its initial price.
The notes can be automatically called on observation dates from June to December 2026 if SMH is at or above its initial price, in which case investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable coupon and the notes terminate. If not called and the final price is at least 70% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus a final coupon; if the final price is below 70%, repayment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the reference asset return, causing a 1% loss for every 1% SMH falls from its initial level and up to a complete loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, the notes are not insured, will not be listed, and all payments depend on Bank of Nova Scotia’s credit.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities, senior unsecured notes linked to Eli Lilly common stock, maturing on or about December 8, 2028. Each $1,000 security can pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $27.125, equivalent to 10.85% per annum, for any determination date when Eli Lilly’s closing price is at least 65% of the initial share price.
If on any non-final observation date Eli Lilly closes at or above 100% of the initial share price, the notes are automatically called and pay back the $1,000 principal plus that period’s coupon, with no further payments. If held to maturity and the final share price is below 65% of the initial share price, repayment of principal is reduced 1-to-1 with the stock’s decline and may be zero, so investors can lose their entire investment.
Holders forgo dividends and any upside beyond received coupons, face full credit risk of BNS, and the securities will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $935.06 and $965.06 per $1,000 note, less than the issue price.

The notes are automatically called if, on any non-final determination date, Broadcom’s price is at least 100% of the initial share price, returning principal plus the due coupon and any unpaid coupons.
If the notes are not called and Broadcom’s final share price is below 50% of the initial share price, repayment at maturity is reduced 1-for-1 with Broadcom’s decline and can fall below 50% of principal, down to zero. Investors do not participate in any stock upside, forgo dividends, face limited liquidity, and are fully exposed to BNS credit risk.
