The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $11,167,000 of senior unsecured capped notes linked to the shares of the SPDR® Gold Trust, maturing on February 24, 2027. These notes provide exposure to the price return of gold via GLD without any interim interest payments.
At maturity, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the reference asset return, capped at a 13.66% maximum return, so the payment cannot exceed $1,136.60 per $1,000. If GLD finishes below its initial value of $455.46, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline, but not below $950 per note, limiting loss to 5% of principal.
The notes are subject to the Bank’s credit risk, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on any exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The initial estimated value was $988.42 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,065,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes linked to JPMorgan Chase & Co. common stock.

The notes may be automatically called on quarterly observation dates if the stock closes at or above the initial value of $322.40, returning $1,000 plus the coupon, with no further payments. If held to maturity on February 9, 2029 and not called, investors receive full principal only if the final stock price is at or above the 70% barrier of $225.68. Below this level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the stock decline, up to a total loss of principal.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by any government agency, and depend entirely on the bank’s credit. The initial estimated value is $964.63 per $1,000, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs; net proceeds to the issuer are $1,043,700 after $21,300 of underwriting commissions.

If the index ends between 80% and 100% of its initial level, investors earn the absolute value of the loss, up to $1,200 per note.

The initial estimated value is $979.36 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs. The notes are not listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments are subject to Scotiabank’s credit risk.
