The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured market-linked notes tied to Tesla, Inc. stock that pay a fixed 12.50% annual coupon and expose investors to contingent downside risk. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and an original offering price of $1,000.
The notes may be automatically called monthly from August 2026 to January 2027 if Tesla’s stock closes at or above the $417.44 starting price, returning face value plus the final coupon. If not called, investors receive $1,000 at maturity only if the final stock price is at or above the $250.464 downside threshold.
If the final Tesla price is below that downside threshold, the maturity payment is $1,000 multiplied by the stock’s performance factor, so losses can exceed 40% and reach 100% of principal. The Bank’s estimated value is $968.50 per security, and there is no stock upside or dividend participation.

The notes may be automatically called monthly from August 2026 to January 2029 if the lowest stock is at or above its starting price, returning face value plus due coupons.

The Bank’s estimated value is $944.92 per $1,000, the notes are not listed, and all payments are subject to Scotiabank’s credit risk.

These securities pay a contingent coupon of 29.25% per annum, but only if Oklo’s stock closes at or above 50% of the $65.69 starting price on each monthly calculation day, with a memory feature that can repay missed coupons later.
The notes are auto-callable monthly from August 2026 to January 2027 if Oklo’s share price is at or above the starting price, returning the $1,000 face amount plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the notes are not called and Oklo’s final price is at least 50% of the starting price, holders receive the $1,000 face amount at maturity; if it is below that level, repayment is reduced in line with the stock’s decline and can result in losing more than 50%, up to all, of principal.
The securities are offered at $1,000 per note, with an estimated value of $931.37 as of the pricing date and total offering size of $2,281,000. They are not listed on an exchange and all payments depend on the credit of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
