The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured market-linked notes tied to the worst performer among Broadcom, Alphabet Class C and Netflix, maturing in February 2029. Each $1,000 note can be auto-called after about one year with a fixed 37.5% call premium if the lowest-performing stock is at or above its starting price.
If not called, maturity payments depend on the final price of the lowest-performing stock: 300% leveraged upside above its starting price; a capped positive “absolute value” return (up to 50%) if it is between 50% and 100% of the starting price; and full downside exposure below 50%, with losses greater than 50% of principal possible.
The notes pay no interest or dividends, are not listed on any exchange, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The estimated value is $928.30 per $1,000 note, below the $1,000 offering price, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $11,153,160 of Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing in February 2031.

If the notes are not called and the final index level is at or above the downside threshold of 1,985.023 (75% of the initial level), investors receive only their $10 principal per note.

The initial estimated value is $9.63 per $10 note, below the issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs.
