Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is marketing Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Arista Networks, Inc. (ANET). The $1,000-denominated senior unsecured notes run from the July 9 2025 issue date to the July 7 2028 maturity, unless called earlier.
Income mechanics: Each quarterly determination date, if ANET closes at or above the 50 % downside threshold, investors receive a $28.70 coupon (11.48% p.a.) plus any missed coupons via the “memory” feature. If on any determination date ANET closes at or above the 100 % call threshold, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any memory coupons.
Principal repayment: At maturity, if ANET’s final price is at least 50% of the initial price, holders receive par plus the last coupon and any unpaid memory coupons. If the final price is below 50%, repayment equals the share performance factor times par, exposing investors to losses of >50%—potentially down to zero.
Key structural details: • Minimum investment: $1,000. • Estimated issue value: $931.69 – $961.69 (93.17–96.17% of face), reflecting embedded fees including a $22.50 sales commission. • Notes are not exchange-listed; secondary liquidity depends on the distributor. • All payments are subject to BNS credit risk.
Risk highlights: Investors forgo any upside in ANET, may receive no coupons, face market value erosion prior to maturity, and shoulder credit, liquidity, tax and conflicts-of-interest risks. Reinvestment risk exists if the notes are called early.
