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.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Buffered Digital Basket-Linked Notes that pay no interest and mature in about 22–25 months. The notes are linked to a weighted equity index basket spanning the EURO STOXX 50®, TOPIX, FTSE® 100, Swiss Market Index and S&P/ASX 200.
At maturity, investors receive at least their $1,000 principal only if the basket decline does not exceed 10%. If the basket ends at or above its initial level, the payout is the greater of a threshold settlement amount, expected between $1,123.10 and $1,144.50 per $1,000, and full participation in the basket’s price gain.
If the basket falls more than 10%, losses accelerate at about 1.1111% for each additional 1% decline, up to a complete loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $941.11 and $971.11 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate. The notes are not insured, will not be listed on an exchange and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured “Market Linked Securities” that are auto-callable and linked to the lowest performer among Amazon, Microsoft and Netflix stock. Investors may receive a quarterly contingent coupon of at least 18.40% per annum if the lowest stock stays at or above 75% of its starting price on each calculation day.
The notes can be automatically called from August 2026 to November 2028 if the lowest stock is at or above its starting price, returning principal plus due coupons. If held to maturity and the lowest stock finishes below 75% of its starting price, investors lose more than 25%, up to all principal, and never participate in stock upside or dividends. The bank’s estimated value is between 90.411% and 93.411% of the $1,000 offering price, reflecting dealer discounts and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering three-year Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $33.70 (13.48% per annum) if Broadcom’s closing price on the determination date is at least 50% of the initial share price.
If on any non-final determination date Broadcom closes at or above 100% of the initial share price, the notes are automatically redeemed at $1,000 plus the due coupon (including any unpaid past coupons via a “memory” feature). If the final share price is below the 50% downside threshold and no auto-call has occurred, investors lose principal on a 1‑for‑1 basis with Broadcom’s decline and may lose their entire investment.
The securities are senior unsecured debt of BNS, not listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. Investors forgo Broadcom dividends, have no upside participation in the stock, and face limited liquidity and complex tax treatment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities maturing around February 23, 2029, linked to Tesla, Inc. common stock. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays a $32.50 quarterly contingent coupon (13.00% per annum) when Tesla’s closing price is at or above 50.00% of the initial share price.
The notes are automatically called at par plus the applicable coupon (including any “memory” coupons) if Tesla’s price on a determination date before maturity is at or above 100.00% of the initial price. If held to maturity and Tesla’s final price is below 50.00% of the initial price, investors lose principal 1-to-1 and may lose their entire investment. The notes are not listed, have an estimated initial value of $936.52–$966.52 per $1,000, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of MongoDB, Inc. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000.
Investors may receive a contingent quarterly coupon of $43.75 per security (equivalent to 17.50% per annum) on any determination date when the MongoDB share price is at or above 50% of the initial share price. Missed coupons can be paid later under a memory feature if the threshold is later met.
If on any non-final determination date MongoDB’s share price is at or above 100% of the initial price, the notes are automatically called and pay principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons, with no further payments.
At maturity, if the final share price is at or above 50% of the initial price, investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If it is below 50%, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with the stock decline, and the payment can be far below principal or zero, meaning investors can lose their entire investment.
All payments depend on BNS’s credit. The securities are not secured, not insured, not bail‑inable, and will not be listed. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $930.54 and $960.54 per $1,000, less than the issue price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $617,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on November 12, 2027. The notes offer 150% upside participation in index gains, capped at a maximum payment of $1,200 per $1,000 of principal.
If the index falls by up to 11% from the initial level of 2,670.338, investors receive full principal at maturity. Losses begin below this buffer, with 1% loss for each 1% drop beyond 11%, up to an 89% maximum loss. The notes pay no interest, are unsecured obligations subject to Scotiabank’s credit risk, and had an initial estimated value of $964.17 per $1,000, below the issue price. Underwriting commissions are 2.20%, leaving $603,426 in proceeds to the Bank.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,865,000 of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to Amazon.com, Inc. common stock, maturing February 12, 2027. The notes pay a 10.25% per annum contingent coupon only when Amazon’s closing price is at or above a coupon barrier set at $136.71, equal to 65% of the $210.32 initial level.
The notes may be automatically called quarterly if Amazon’s closing level on an observation date is at or above the initial level, in which case investors receive principal plus the applicable contingent coupon and the notes terminate early. If the notes are not called and Amazon’s final level on the valuation date is at or above the $136.71 downside threshold, investors receive full principal at maturity.
If the notes are not called and Amazon’s final level is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with Amazon’s percentage decline, and investors can lose all of their investment. The notes are unsecured obligations of BNS, are not insured, have limited or no secondary market liquidity, and their payments depend entirely on BNS’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured, equity‑linked notes tied to the worst performer of Datadog, Dell Technologies and Intel, maturing on February 16, 2029. Each $1,000 note pays a contingent monthly coupon at a rate of at least 21.75% per annum only when the lowest stock closes at or above 50% of its starting price on the monthly calculation day, with a memory feature that can pay previously missed coupons.
The notes are auto‑callable from August 2026 through January 2029 if the worst-performing stock is at or above its starting price, returning face value plus the due and unpaid coupons. If not called and the worst stock finishes below 50% of its starting price at final observation, investors are fully exposed to that decline and can lose more than half, up to all, of principal; upside in the stocks is not shared.
The securities are unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, carry no deposit insurance, are not listed on an exchange, and include selling discounts of $23.25 per $1,000. The bank’s estimated value is $884.15–$914.15 per $1,000, reflecting embedded costs and hedging profits.

The notes may be automatically called in about one year if the lowest-performing stock is at or above its starting price, paying back $1,000 plus a call premium of at least 45%. If not called, and at maturity the lowest-performing stock is above its starting price, investors receive 300% of its price gain.
If at maturity the lowest-performing stock has fallen but remains at or above 50% of its starting price, investors receive a positive “absolute value” return capped at 50%.

The notes are not listed, are intended to be held to maturity or call, and all payments depend on the credit of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
