The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities with Memory Coupon and Downside Leverage linked to Alphabet Inc.’s Class A stock. These are senior unsecured notes with principal at risk and no guarantee of regular interest.
Investors may receive a contingent monthly coupon of $14.30 per $1,000 (17.16% per annum) for each determination date on which Alphabet’s closing price is at or above 85% of the initial share price of $310.96, a downside threshold of $264.316. Missed coupons can be paid later if the threshold is met, under the memory feature.
If on any non-final determination date the stock closes at or above 100% of the initial share price ($310.96), the notes are auto-called and redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. At maturity, if the final price is below the downside threshold, repayment is based on a leveraged downside: investors lose about 1.1765% of principal for every 1% the final share price is below the threshold, up to total loss. All payments depend on BNS’s credit and the notes will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Netflix, Inc., maturing around March 29, 2027, in $1,000 denominations.
The notes pay a contingent monthly coupon of $9.542 per $1,000 (0.9542% per month, up to about 11.45% per year) only when Netflix’s closing price on an observation date is at least 68% of the initial price. Coupons are skipped for any month where the stock is below that barrier.
Starting in August 2026 through February 2027, the notes are automatically called if Netflix’s price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price. In that case, investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and the notes terminate early.
If the notes are not called, then at maturity investors get $1,000 plus a final coupon only if Netflix’s final price is at least 68% of the initial price. If the final price is below 68%, investors receive a share delivery amount of Netflix stock equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price (with cash for any fraction), whose value on the final valuation date will be less than 68% of principal. This can result in losing a substantial portion or all of the invested amount.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not CDIC or FDIC insured, and all payments depend on the bank’s credit. They are not listed on any exchange, and secondary market liquidity may be limited. The bank’s initial estimated value is expected to be between $925 and $955 per $1,000, below the original issue price, reflecting commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Dual Directional Buffered PLUS, senior unsecured notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on or about March 3, 2028, with a stated principal amount of $1,000 per note and no periodic interest.
If the index rises, holders receive principal plus 150% of the index gain, capped at a maximum upside gain of 17.11%, or $1,171.10 per note. If the index is down by up to 10%, investors earn a matching positive return via an absolute-return feature, up to a 10.00% gain.
If the index falls more than the 10.00% buffer, repayment is reduced 1% for each additional 1% decline, with a minimum payment of $100, meaning up to 90.00% of principal can be lost. The notes pay no dividends, are not listed, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected between $937.39 and $967.39 per $1,000.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured senior Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes with Memory Coupon due February 15, 2029, linked to the least performing of Align Technology (ALGN), CarMax (KMX) and Progressive (PGR). The minimum investment is $1,000.
The notes pay a contingent coupon of at least $18.5417 per $1,000 (22.25% per annum) on scheduled dates only if each stock closes at or above 60% of its initial value; missed coupons accrue as “memory” but are forfeited if, on the final date, any stock is below its coupon barrier. The notes are automatically called if on certain observation dates all three stocks are at or above their initial values, returning principal plus due coupons.
If not called, at maturity investors receive full principal back only if the worst-performing stock is at or above 60% of its initial value; otherwise, repayment is reduced one-for-one with that stock’s loss, up to a 100% loss of principal. The initial estimated value is $923.19–$953.19 per $1,000, the notes will not be listed, and all payments are subject to Scotiabank’s credit risk and are not CDIC or FDIC insured.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the S&P 500® Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index, with a principal amount of $10 per Note and an expected 5‑year term.
Investors may receive quarterly contingent coupons at a per‑annum rate of 7.50% to 8.05% only if both indices are at or above 70% of their initial levels on each observation date. The Notes are automatically called, returning principal plus the applicable coupon, if both indices are at or above their initial levels on any quarterly observation date after six months.
If the Notes are not called and any index finishes below its downside threshold (70% of its initial level) at maturity, repayment is reduced one‑for‑one with the decline of the worst index, up to a total loss of principal. Payments depend on BNS’s credit, the Notes are not insured or exchange‑listed, and their initial estimated value of $9.14–$9.44 per $10 is below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $875,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffered Notes linked to NVIDIA Corporation common stock, maturing March 12, 2027. These unsecured senior notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $8.209 per $1,000 (0.8209%, about 9.85% per year) only when NVIDIA’s closing price on an observation date is at least 75% of the $190.04 initial price.
The notes can be automatically called on monthly call observation dates from August 2026 to February 2027 if NVIDIA closes at or above $190.04, returning $1,000 plus the applicable coupon. If not called and at maturity NVIDIA is at least 75% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon.
If at maturity NVIDIA’s price is below 75% of the initial level, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar beyond the 25% buffer, with up to 75% loss of principal and no coupon. The notes are not listed, carry The Bank of Nova Scotia’s credit risk, and had an initial estimated value of $974.13 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,169,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Salesforce, Inc., maturing March 12, 2027. These structured notes pay monthly contingent coupons of $10.167 per $1,000 (about 12.20% per year) only if Salesforce’s share price is at least 68% of the $194.03 initial price on each observation date.
The notes may be automatically called as early as August 2026 if Salesforce closes at or above the initial price, returning principal plus the applicable coupon.

All payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,000,000 of Digital Notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc., maturing on March 11, 2027. The notes pay no interest; your return depends entirely on Broadcom’s share price on the valuation date versus the initial price of $343.94.
If Broadcom’s final price is at least 80% of the initial price, you receive a fixed maximum payment of $1,235.50 per $1,000 note (a 23.55% gain). If the final price is more than 20% below the initial price, your downside is magnified: you lose 1.25% of principal for every 1% drop beyond that buffer, up to a 100% loss.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is $983.80 per $1,000 note, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate, so secondary market values may be lower than the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Enhanced Participation Basket-Linked Notes that pay no interest and return principal and any gain at maturity based on a weighted basket of five equity indexes in Europe, Japan, the U.K., Switzerland and Australia. The notes have a term of about 22 to 25 months and a participation rate between 113.00% and 133.00% on positive basket performance. A 10.00% downside buffer protects principal against moderate declines, but below 90.00% of the initial basket level losses accelerate at approximately 1.1111% for each 1% drop, so investors can lose up to 100% of principal. The notes are unsecured senior obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by any deposit insurer, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is between $936.03 and $966.03 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price due to fees, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
