The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing Series A equity-linked senior notes—market-linked, auto-callable securities with a contingent 18.40% per annum coupon (with memory) linked to the lowest performing of Amazon, Microsoft and Netflix. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and an original offering price of $1,000; the total original offering shown is $1,195,000. Payments (quarterly contingent coupons, automatic call and maturity payment) depend solely on the lowest performing underlying on scheduled calculation days; downside protection applies only to declines up to 25% (threshold = 75% of starting prices). All payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk and the securities are designed to be held to maturity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., with $1,417,000 aggregate principal and a maturity date of March 24, 2027.

Notes are automatically called if the reference closes at or above the initial price on a call observation date (Aug 2026–Feb 2027). If not called and the final price is below 70.00% of the initial price, holders receive a share delivery amount (or cash for fractional shares), exposing principal to equity downside and the Bank’s credit risk.

Positive performance is paid at a 160.00% participation rate up to a capped maximum payment amount expected between $1,246.88 and $1,290.40 per $1,000. A buffer protects losses up to 15.00%; declines beyond that expose holders to amplified downside (buffer rate ~117.65%).
