The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $549,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due February 9, 2029, linked to Tesla, Inc. stock. These senior unsecured notes pay a contingent coupon of $34.375 per $1,000 (13.75% per year) only when Tesla’s closing price on specified observation dates is at or above $205.56, which is 50% of the $411.11 initial value.
The notes can be automatically called on quarterly dates if Tesla closes at or above the initial value, returning $1,000 per note plus the applicable coupon and ending the investment. If the notes are not called and Tesla’s final value is at or above the $205.56 barrier, investors receive their $1,000 principal per note, plus any due coupon. If the final value is below the barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with Tesla’s decline from the initial value, and investors can lose their entire principal.
The notes are unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange. The bank’s initial estimated value is $962.47 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting internal funding, structuring and hedging costs, and potential dealer compensation.

The notes are automatically called, returning principal plus the coupon, if Apple closes at or above the initial value on any call observation date.
If the notes are not called and Apple’s final value is at or above the barrier, investors receive only principal plus any due coupon; there is no upside participation in stock gains. If the final value is below the barrier, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% stock decline from the initial value, up to a total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is $967.30 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting hedging and distribution costs.
