The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,300,000 of Amazon.com, Inc. stock-linked Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities, $1,000 per note, that pay no interest and put principal at risk.
At maturity in February 2027, if Amazon’s final share price is at or above a trigger set at 90% of the $206.96 initial price ($186.264), investors receive $1,000 plus a fixed upside payment of $202.70 per note, a capped gain of 20.27% regardless of how high the stock trades. If the final share price is below the trigger, repayment is $1,000 plus the stock return, so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline from the initial price and can lose their entire investment.
The notes are senior unsecured debt of BNS, not insured or secured, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is $974.50 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the securities will not be listed, so secondary market liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc., with a principal amount of $1,000 per note and a scheduled maturity on February 23, 2029, unless called earlier.
The notes can be automatically called on quarterly observation dates if Tesla’s closing value is at or above the initial value, returning principal plus the applicable coupon. If not called, investors earn a contingent coupon of at least $35.875 per note (at least 14.35% per annum) only when Tesla’s closing value is at or above 50% of the initial value.
At maturity, if the notes are not called and Tesla is below the 50% barrier, repayment is reduced one‑for‑one with Tesla’s decline, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $936.86 and $966.86 per $1,000, reflecting structuring and hedging costs, and underwriting commissions are up to 2.00%. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, will not be listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,146,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the MSCI EAFE Index, maturing April 13, 2028. These unsecured notes pay no interest and their payoff depends entirely on index performance between February 10, 2026 and April 11, 2028.
If the index finishes above the initial level of 3,138.65, investors receive 160% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,272 per $1,000 of principal (a 27.2% maximum return). If the index is flat or down by up to 15%, investors receive back their $1,000 principal per note.
If the index falls by more than 15%, losses accelerate: investors lose about 1.1765% of principal for each 1% drop beyond the 15% buffer, and can lose their entire investment. The initial estimated value is $984.10 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the notes are not exchange-listed. Repayment depends on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes that pay contingent monthly coupons and can be auto-called early. The notes are linked to the lowest performing of Amazon, Broadcom, Alphabet Class A and NVIDIA, and mature in February 2029.
The contingent coupon rate will be at least 17.20% per annum, paid only when the lowest stock closes at or above 50% of its starting price, with a memory feature for unpaid coupons. From May 2026 to January 2029, if the lowest stock is at or above its starting price on a calculation day, the notes are automatically called at par plus due coupons.
If not called, principal is repaid at maturity only if the lowest stock on the final calculation day is at or above a downside threshold of 50% of its starting price; otherwise, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline, down to zero. The Bank’s estimated value is between 90.425% and 93.425% of the $1,000 offering price per note. The securities are unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, not insured by CDIC or FDIC, will not be listed on an exchange, and involve complex risk and tax considerations.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured Market Linked Securities tied to Intel Corporation common stock, offering $1,000 face amount per note with an estimated value of $961.13 (96.113%) per security. Total proceeds to the bank are $4,031,047.25 before hedging profits.
The notes pay a high contingent coupon of 19.90% per annum, but only if Intel’s stock is at or above 60% of the $48.29 starting price on quarterly calculation days; otherwise no coupon is paid. From May 2026 to November 2028, the notes are auto‑callable if Intel closes at or above 90% of the starting price, returning face value plus a final coupon. If not called and Intel is below 60% of the starting price at final observation in February 2029, investors lose more than 40% and up to all principal. The notes are unlisted, intended to be held to maturity, and expose investors to both Intel share performance and Scotiabank credit risk.
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 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.
