The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering 994,359 Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities linked to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, at a public offering price of $10 per unit, for a total offering of $9,928,590.
The notes can be automatically called on scheduled observation dates if the Index is at or above the starting level of 5,891.95, paying fixed call amounts from $10.842 up to $15.052 per unit (call premiums up to 50.52%). If the notes are not called and the Index ends at or above the threshold value of 5,008.16 (85% of the starting level), investors receive their $10 principal.
If the notes are not called and the Index falls below the threshold, principal is exposed 1-to-1 to further declines, with up to 85% of principal at risk. The notes pay no periodic interest, have limited secondary market liquidity, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The initial estimated value is $9.56 per unit, below the $10 issue price, reflecting underwriting discounts and hedging-related charges.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,953,000 of Autocallable Trigger Notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index and Russell 2000 Index, maturing on February 3, 2028 unless called earlier.
The notes pay no interest. If on January 29, 2027 both indices are at or above their initial levels (25,884.29 for the Nasdaq-100 and 2,654.776 for the Russell 2000), the notes are automatically called and pay 110% of principal. If not called, at maturity investors get 250% of the gain of the worst-performing index if both finish above initial levels, full principal if both stay at or above 75% of initial, and lose 1% of principal for each 1% the worst index finishes below its initial level if any index ends under 75%, up to total loss.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Scotiabank, not insured by any deposit insurer. The initial estimated value is $941.18 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting funding, hedging, underwriting commissions of 2.55% and a structuring fee, and may lead to lower secondary market prices and limited liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked securities tied to the SPDR Gold Trust. Each note has a $1,000 face amount, pays no periodic interest and matures on February 1, 2030.
At maturity, holders receive $1,000 plus 100% of any positive GLD price change from the $495.90 starting price, capped at a 31.50% maximum return, for a maximum payment of $1,315 per note. If the fund ends at or below the starting price, the maturity payment is $1,000.
The notes are subject to the credit risk of the Bank, are not insured, and will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The original offering totals $1,865,000, with proceeds to the Bank of $1,793,663.75. The Bank’s estimated value is $940.71 per $1,000 note, reflecting selling costs and hedging. U.S. tax treatment is as contingent payment debt instruments, creating taxable original issue discount income over the life of the notes.

If the index falls more than 10% from the initial level, repayment declines at an accelerated buffer rate of about 111.11% of losses beyond that threshold, and investors can lose up to their entire principal. The initial estimated value is $984.65 per $1,000, below the issue price, and any payment depends on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.

The notes may be automatically called after about one, two, or three years if the index closes at or above the 2,654.776 starting level on an observation date.
If called, investors receive $11.195, $12.390, or $13.585 per unit, depending on which observation date triggers the call, and no further payments.

At maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus 120% of the least-performing index’s gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,192.50 per $1,000. A 10% downside buffer applies, but if the worst index falls more than 10%, principal losses match the excess decline, up to a 90% loss.
The initial estimated value is $955.14 per $1,000, below par, reflecting fees and hedging costs. Underwriting commissions are 2.10% of principal, with issuer proceeds of $1,795,486. The notes are not listed, provide no dividends, and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness.

Holders may receive contingent coupons of $25.625 per quarter per $1,000 note (2.5625% quarterly, up to 10.25% per annum) only if the ETF’s closing price on an observation date is at least 70.00% of the initial price of $417.52. The notes can be automatically called starting in July 2026 if the ETF closes at or above the initial price on a call observation date.
At maturity, if not called, principal is fully repaid only if the final price is at least 70.00% of the initial price; below that level, losses match the ETF’s negative performance and can reach 100% of principal, with no coupon. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not listed on any exchange, and their payments depend entirely on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
