The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable GEARS notes linked to an unequally weighted basket of five major equity indices: EURO STOXX 50 (40%), Nikkei 225 (25%), FTSE 100 (17.50%), Swiss Market Index (10%) and S&P/ASX 200 (7.50%). Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000. The notes can be automatically called after about one year if the basket is at or above the initial basket level, paying a call price equal to principal plus a 13.00% call return. If not called, at maturity investors receive principal plus any positive basket return multiplied by upside gearing of 1.72–1.92, return of principal if the basket is at or above a 75.00% downside threshold, or a loss matching the negative basket return if the basket finishes below that threshold, up to total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected to be $9.25–$9.55 per $10, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Enhanced Participation Basket-Linked Notes tied to a weighted basket of five equity indices in Europe, Japan, the UK, Switzerland and Australia. The notes pay no interest and mature about 13–15 months after the trade date.
At maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus leveraged upside if the basket is above its initial level, with a participation rate between 130.00% and 153.00%. If the basket is flat, only principal is returned. If the basket falls, losses are 1% for every 1% decline, up to a total loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is expected between $940.00 and $970.00 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate. The notes are not listed, do not pay dividends, 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 worst-performing of Apple, Amazon.com, Goldman Sachs and NVIDIA through February 10, 2028. Each security has a $1,000 face amount.
The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon at a rate of at least 13.44% per annum only if the lowest-performing stock on each calculation day closes at or above 50% of its starting price. Missed coupons can be recovered later via a “memory” feature if the test is passed on a future date.
From August 2026 to January 2028, the notes are automatically called if the lowest-performing stock is at or above its starting price, returning face amount plus the current and any unpaid coupons. If not called, principal is protected at maturity only if the worst stock is at or above 50% of its starting price; otherwise investors are fully exposed to downside and can lose more than 50%, up to all, of principal.
The bank’s estimated value is $916.24–$946.24 per $1,000, reflecting embedded dealer spread and hedging costs. The securities carry Scotiabank credit risk, pay no dividends, will not be listed on an exchange, and may have limited or no secondary market liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $9,114,820 of senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (SPY) and the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLE), maturing on February 1, 2029.
The notes pay a contingent coupon at a 9.75% per annum rate (about $0.2438 per quarter per $10 note) only if, on each observation date, both ETFs close at or above their coupon barriers, set at 70% of initial levels ($485.83 for SPY and $35.36 for XLE). The notes are automatically called on quarterly dates after six months if both ETFs are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus the applicable coupon.
If not called, and on the final valuation date either ETF is below its downside threshold (also 70% of its initial level), repayment is reduced in line with the worst ETF’s percentage loss, and investors could lose their entire principal. Payments are subject to BNS credit risk, the notes will not be listed, and the initial estimated value is $9.52 per $10 note, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked, senior unsecured notes tied to the worst performer of four industrial stocks: Axon, Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Howmet Aerospace. The total original offering is $1,146,000, priced at $1,000 per security.
The notes pay a 17.25% per annum contingent coupon monthly only if the lowest-performing stock on each observation date stays at or above 50% of its starting price. From July 2026 to December 2028, the notes auto-call at par plus coupon if the lowest stock is at or above its starting price.
If not called, principal is protected only down to a 50% downside threshold; a lower final price for the worst stock causes losses greater than 50% and potentially a total loss of principal. The Bank’s estimated value is $898.49 per note, below the $1,000 issue price, reflecting dealer compensation and hedging costs, and the notes are not listed and carry full Bank of Nova Scotia credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS, which are senior unsecured notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, maturing on or about February 18, 2031. Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000.
The notes may be automatically called on February 22, 2027 if the index closes at or above its initial level, paying a call price of $11.10 per Security, reflecting an 11.00% call return, and then terminate with no further payments. If not called, at maturity investors receive upside exposure to the index, with positive returns multiplied by upside gearing between 1.41 and 1.61.
If the notes are not called and the final index level is at or above 75% of the initial level, principal is repaid. If the final level is below this downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the index loss, and investors can lose their entire principal. The notes pay no interest, are not insured, will not be listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness. The initial estimated value per $10 Security is expected to be between $9.34 and $9.64, lower than the issue price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $600,000 of Autocallable Contingent Buffered Return Enhanced Notes linked to an equally weighted basket of SPDR® Gold Trust and iShares® Silver Trust ETFs. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and all payments depend on the Bank’s credit.
The notes may be automatically called on February 10, 2027 if the basket is at or above 100.00% of its initial value, paying $1,280.50 per $1,000 note (a 28.05% call premium). If held to February 3, 2028 and the basket is above its initial value, investors receive 125.00% of the basket’s positive return.
A 15.00% downside buffer applies; below 85.00% of the initial basket value, principal loss increases at about 1.1765% for each additional 1% decline, up to total loss. The notes pay no interest, won’t be listed on an exchange, and the initial estimated value is $954.47 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price. Underwriting commissions are 1.50%, leaving $591,000 in proceeds to the Bank.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Microsoft Corporation, maturing on or about February 9, 2029. Investors receive a contingent quarterly coupon of $22.70 per $1,000 security (equivalent to 9.08% per annum) for each determination date when Microsoft’s closing price is at least 75% of the initial share price.
If on any non-final determination date Microsoft’s closing price is at least 100% of the initial share price, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable contingent coupon and any unpaid coupons under the memory feature. If the notes are outstanding to maturity and the final share price is at least 75% of the initial share price, investors receive principal plus the contingent coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the final share price is below 75% of the initial share price, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with Microsoft’s decline and can be zero, meaning investors may lose their entire investment.
The notes pay no regular interest, do not participate in any upside of Microsoft shares, and forgo dividends. They are subject to the full credit risk of BNS. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $940.38 and $970.38 per $1,000 security, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsubordinated, unsecured autocallable contingent coupon notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. The notes pay a contingent coupon of at least $31.875 per $1,000 (at least 12.75% per annum) on specified dates if Broadcom’s closing value is at or above a barrier.
The notes can be automatically called on quarterly observation dates if Broadcom’s price is at or above the initial value, returning the $1,000 principal plus due and unpaid coupons. If not called and Broadcom ends below a 50% barrier, holders receive Broadcom shares (or cash for fractions) worth less than principal and may lose up to 100% of their investment.
The initial estimated value is expected to be between $932.04 and $962.04 per $1,000, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs versus the 100% original issue price, including underwriting commissions of up to 1.75%. All payments are subject to Scotiabank’s credit risk, and the notes will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $15,491,270 of Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, with a term of about five years and a principal amount of $10 per Note. The Notes can be automatically called quarterly after 12 months if the index closes at or above the initial level of 2,653.546, paying the principal plus a call return based on an 8.65% per annum call return rate, up to 43.250% (a $14.3250 call price per Note) if held to the final date.
If the Notes are not called and the final index level is at or above the downside threshold of 1,990.160 (75% of the initial level), investors receive only their $10 principal back, with no gain. If the final level is below the downside threshold, repayment is $10 × (1 + underlying return), so losses mirror the index decline and can reach 100% of principal. The Notes pay no interest, do not participate in any upside beyond the call return, are unsecured obligations exposed to BNS credit risk, will not be listed, and have limited liquidity. The initial estimated value is $9.623 per $10 Note, below the issue price, and the tax treatment is complex and uncertain.
