The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable contingent coupon notes linked to Alphabet Inc. Class A shares, maturing in March 2027. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $8.709 per $1,000 (0.8709%, about 10.45% per year) only if Alphabet’s closing price on each observation date is at least 69% of the initial price.
Starting in August 2026, the notes are automatically called if Alphabet’s price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 plus that month’s coupon. If not called and the final price is at least 69% of the initial price, holders get $1,000 plus the final coupon at maturity. If the final price is below 69% of the initial price, investors receive Alphabet shares worth less than 69% of principal, with no final coupon, and can lose most or all of their investment.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not listed on an exchange, and their value is affected by the bank’s credit, hedging, fees and secondary-market pricing. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $955 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of GE Vernova Inc., maturing on or about March 23, 2027. These unsecured senior notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $11.75 per $1,000 (1.175% per month, up to 14.10% per year) only when GE Vernova’s share price on an observation date is at or above 56% of the initial price.
The notes are automatically called if, on specified observation dates from August 2026 to February 2027, the share price is at or above the initial price, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and the note terminates. If the notes are not called, principal is fully repaid at maturity only if the final share price is at or above the 56% trigger level. If the final price is below 56% of the initial price, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline from the initial price, and investors can lose up to their entire investment.
The initial estimated value is expected to be between $925 and $955 per $1,000 principal, reflecting structuring and distribution costs and internal funding rates. Payments depend entirely on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia and are not insured by CDIC, FDIC, or any other deposit insurer. The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $24,000,000 of senior unsecured structured notes that pay a contingent monthly coupon of $16 per $1,000 (19.20% per annum) linked to the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT).
Coupons are paid only if IBIT’s closing price on a determination date is at least 80% of the initial share price of $47.49 (the downside threshold of $37.992), with a memory feature that can recapture missed coupons. If IBIT is at or above 100% of the initial price on any non-final determination date, the notes auto-call and return principal plus the due coupon(s). If held to maturity on February 5, 2027 and IBIT ends below the downside threshold, investors lose 1.25% of principal for each 1% IBIT falls below the threshold, up to a total loss of principal. The notes are not listed, have an estimated value of $978.53 per $1,000 at pricing, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Digital Notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. The notes run about 13 to 15 months, pay no interest, and all returns come at maturity based on Broadcom’s share performance.
For each $1,000 note, if the final Broadcom price is at least 80% of the initial price, investors receive a fixed maximum payment expected between $1,200 and $1,235.20, capping upside. If the final price falls more than 20% below the initial price, losses are magnified at 1.25% for every 1% drop beyond that level, up to a total loss of principal.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, are not insured, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is expected between $937.34 and $967.34 per $1,000, reflecting fees, hedging costs, and the bank’s internal funding rate, which can depress secondary-market prices.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $8,696,000 in Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the Class C common stock of Dell Technologies Inc., maturing March 5, 2027. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $11.084 per $1,000 (1.1084%) if Dell’s share price on an observation date is at least 58% of the $119.16 initial price.
The notes can be automatically called starting in August 2026 if Dell closes at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 plus the coupon.

All payments depend on Scotiabank’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,477,000 of digital notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on February 12, 2027. The notes pay no interest and all returns come from index performance.
If the index’s final level on February 10, 2027 is at least 90% of the initial level of 2,640.284, holders receive a fixed $1,102.50 per $1,000 principal, capping upside at 10.25%. If the final level falls more than 10% below the initial level, principal losses accelerate at about 1.1111% for every additional 1% index decline, up to a 100% loss.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by Canadian or U.S. deposit insurance. The original issue price is 100% of principal, including 0.89% in underwriting commissions, while the initial estimated value is $987.20 per $1,000, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Enhanced Participation Basket-Linked Notes tied to a weighted equity index basket across the Eurozone, Japan, the U.K., Switzerland and Australia. The notes pay no interest and are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the bank.
At maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus 200% of any positive basket return, capped by a maximum payment amount expected between $1,307.80 and $1,361.00 per $1,000 note. If the basket is flat, only principal is repaid. If the basket falls, losses match the negative basket return and can reach 100% of principal.
The initial basket level is set to 100, with weights of 38.00% EURO STOXX 50, 26.00% TOPIX, 17.00% FTSE 100, 11.00% Swiss Market Index and 8.00% S&P/ASX 200. The initial estimated value is expected between $941.93 and $971.93 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting fees, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate. The notes will not be listed, dividends on underlying stocks are forgone, and any payment depends on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to NVIDIA Corporation stock, maturing April 1, 2027. These notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $10.125 per $1,000 (1.0125% monthly, up to 12.15% per year) only if NVIDIA’s share price is at least 58% of the initial price on each observation date.
The notes can be automatically called starting in August 2026 if NVIDIA’s price is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 per note plus that month’s coupon. If they are not called and the final price is below 58% of the initial price, investors receive NVIDIA shares (or cash equivalent) worth less than 58% of principal, creating potential for substantial loss. Payments depend entirely on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness, and the initial estimated value of each $1,000 note is expected to be $925–$965, below issue price due to fees, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $21,993,800 of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 Index and EURO STOXX 50 Index, maturing on February 7, 2036. Each Note has a $10 principal amount and pays a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7.75% (about $0.1938 per quarter) only if on each observation date both indices close at or above their coupon barriers, set at 75% of their initial levels.
The Notes are automatically called on any quarterly observation date after 12 months if both indices are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus the applicable coupon, with no further payments. If the Notes are not called and, at maturity, both indices are at or above their downside thresholds (also 75% of initial levels), investors receive full principal. If any index finishes below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced in line with the decline of the worst-performing index, and investors can lose all of their principal.
The initial estimated value is $9.04 per $10 Note, below the issue price, reflecting structuring, hedging and distribution costs. The Notes are unsecured senior debt of Scotiabank, not insured by Canadian or U.S. deposit insurance, not bail-inable under the CDIC Act, will not be listed on any exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering preliminary Autocallable Fixed Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc., maturing in March 2027. The notes pay fixed coupons of $9.584 per $1,000 monthly (about 11.50% per annum), regardless of Broadcom’s share performance, until they are called or mature.
The notes may be automatically called on specified observation dates starting August 2026 if Broadcom’s closing price is at or above the initial price. In that case, investors receive $1,000 plus the coupon and no further payments.
If not called, the maturity payout depends on Broadcom’s final price. If it is at least 56% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 in cash plus the final coupon. If it is below 56%, investors receive shares of Broadcom (or cash equivalent) worth less than 56% of principal, meaning a substantial or total loss of principal is possible. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, with all payments subject to its credit risk.
The initial estimated value is expected to be between $925 and $955 per $1,000 principal, lower than the issue price due to internal funding rates, hedging costs, underwriting commissions and structuring fees. The notes will not be listed, and any secondary market, if available, may be limited and at prices below the issue price.
