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. If not called and the final price is below 68% of the initial price, investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% Salesforce has fallen, up to a total loss. 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.
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.
