The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured market-linked notes tied to the common stock of Oracle Corporation, offering a contingent coupon rate of 12.50% per annum. Investors receive quarterly coupons only if Oracle’s stock closes at or above 50% of the $160.14 starting price on each calculation day.
The notes are auto-callable from August 2026 to November 2028 if Oracle’s stock closes at or above the starting price, repaying the $1,000 face amount plus the current and any previously unpaid coupons. If not called and Oracle finishes below 50% of the starting price at maturity in February 2029, investors lose more than 50%, up to all principal. The estimated value is $921.60 per $1,000 note, and the notes are not listed and carry BNS credit risk only.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $10,000,000 of Buffered Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities, senior unsecured notes linked to Alphabet Inc.’s Class A common stock. Each security has a $1,000 principal amount and can pay a contingent monthly coupon of $14.30 per security, equivalent to 17.16% per annum, but only when Alphabet’s closing price is at or above 85% of the initial share price of $310.96.
The notes may be automatically redeemed if Alphabet closes at or above 100% of the initial price on any non-final determination date, returning principal plus the due coupon (including any “memory” coupons). If held to maturity and Alphabet finishes below the 85% downside threshold of $264.316, investors lose about 1.1765% of principal for every 1% Alphabet is below the threshold, up to a total loss. The securities do not participate in stock upside, pay no dividends, are not listed, and all payments are subject to BNS credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $5,243,000 of autocallable digital buffer notes linked to the S&P 500 Index maturing in February 2028. These unsecured senior notes can be automatically called in 2027 if the index is at or above its initial level.
If called, investors receive the $1,000 principal per note plus an $84.80 (8.48%) call premium. If held to maturity and the index is at or above the initial level, the payoff adds the greater of a fixed 16.96% digital return or the index’s positive performance.
A 15% downside buffer applies: if the index finishes between 85% and 100% of its initial level, principal is returned; below 85%, losses accelerate at about 1.1765% of principal for each additional 1% decline, up to total loss. The notes pay no coupons, are not insured, carry Bank of Nova Scotia credit risk, and are expected to have limited secondary market liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffer GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing around February 29, 2028. Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000.
At maturity, if the index return is positive, investors receive upside at 2x the index gain, capped by a maximum gain of 16.70%–19.70% (maximum payment $11.67–$11.97). If the index is flat or down but above the 90% downside threshold, principal is repaid.
If the index falls below the downside threshold, losses exceed the 10% buffer and are one-for-one with further declines, so investors can lose almost all principal. The notes pay no interest, are subject to BNS credit risk, are not FDIC/CDIC insured, and are not expected to be listed, with limited liquidity. The initial estimated value is $9.329–$9.629 per $10 note, below the issue price due to structuring, hedging and distribution costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Basket‑Linked Notes under its Senior Note Program, Series A. These unsecured notes pay no interest and return depends on a weighted equity index basket: EURO STOXX 50 (40%), TOPIX (25%), FTSE 100 (17%), Swiss Market Index (11%) and S&P/ASX 200 (7%).
At maturity in about 19–22 months, holders receive: full principal plus 230.00% of any positive basket return, but only up to a maximum payment expected between $1,189.75 and $1,223.10 per $1,000; principal back if the basket decline is up to 15%; and amplified losses (buffer rate about 117.65%) beyond a 15% drop, with up to 100% principal loss possible. The initial estimated value is expected between $946.00 and $976.00 per $1,000, below issue price, and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,949,000 of Trigger Jump Securities linked to Amazon.com, Inc. stock, maturing on February 16, 2028. These senior unsecured notes pay no coupons and expose investors to both equity risk and BNS credit risk.
If Amazon’s final share price is at or above the initial share price of $204.08, each $1,000 note pays back principal plus a fixed upside payment of $436 (a 43.60% gain). If the final price is below $204.08 but at or above the trigger level of $183.672 (90% of the initial price), investors receive only the $1,000 principal.
If Amazon’s final price falls below the $183.672 trigger, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline from the initial price, and the maturity payment can drop to zero. The notes are not listed, have limited liquidity, and the estimated value at pricing is $960.40 per $1,000, reflecting embedded fees and hedging costs.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $723,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes with Memory Coupon due February 15, 2029, linked to the worst performer among Align Technology, CarMax and Progressive common stocks.
The notes pay a contingent coupon of $18.5417 per $1,000 (22.25% per annum) on scheduled observation dates only if each stock stays at or above 60% of its initial value; missed coupons accrue as “memory” but are lost if a coupon condition is never met or at final valuation if any stock is below its barrier. The notes may be automatically called if all three stocks are at or above their initial values on a call date, returning principal plus due coupons.
If not called and the worst-performing stock finishes below its 60% barrier, repayment of principal is reduced one-for-one with that stock’s loss and investors can lose up to 100% of their investment. The initial estimated value is $954.03 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, and all payments are subject to Scotiabank’s credit risk with no deposit insurance or stockholder rights.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the common stock of ServiceNow, Inc. The Notes pay a contingent coupon at a rate of 12.75% per annum (about $0.3188 per $10 Note quarterly) only when the stock closes on an observation date at or above the coupon barrier of $51.65, which is 50% of the initial level of $103.29.
The Notes can be automatically called on quarterly observation dates before maturity if ServiceNow’s share price is at or above the initial level, in which case holders receive $10 principal plus the applicable coupon and the Notes terminate early. If the Notes are not called and the final stock level on February 16, 2027 is at or above the downside threshold of $51.65, investors receive full principal back.
If the Notes are not called and the final level is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the stock’s percentage decline from the initial level, exposing investors to full downside market risk and potential total loss of principal. Payments also depend entirely on the creditworthiness of BNS. The initial estimated value per $10 Note is between $9.41 and $9.71, below the $10 issue price, and the Notes are not listed, so liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $10,719,000 of Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on June 14, 2028. The notes pay no interest and all value comes from how the index performs between the February 11, 2026 trade date and the June 12, 2028 valuation date.
For each $1,000 note, if the final S&P 500® level is at least 85.00% of the initial level of 6,941.47, investors receive a fixed maximum payment of $1,191.50. If the index falls more than 15.00%, repayment drops quickly: investors lose about 1.1765% of principal for every 1% decline below the 85.00% threshold, and can lose their entire investment.
The notes are unsecured senior obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia and are not insured by any government agency. The initial estimated value is $989.10 per $1,000 note, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs, and the notes will not be listed on any exchange, so liquidity will depend on dealer market-making.
