The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable trigger notes linked to the worst performer of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, maturing in March 2028. The notes pay no interest and will be automatically called in 2027 if both indices are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus a call premium expected to be at least 10.75%.
If not called, holders get 250% of the positive return of the weaker index if both finish above their initial levels. If any index finishes between 75% and 100% of its initial level, only principal is returned. If any index ends below 75% of its initial level, losses match the percentage decline of the worst index, up to a total loss. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, below issue price, and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked, senior unsecured notes that pay a contingent quarterly coupon of at least 8.00% per annum, but only when the lowest of the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average closes at or above 75% of its starting level on each calculation day.
The notes are auto-callable quarterly from August 2026 through November 2029 if the lowest-performing index is at or above its starting level, in which case investors receive the $1,000 face amount plus a final coupon. If the notes are not called and, on the final calculation day in February 2030, the lowest-performing index is below 75% of its starting level, investors lose more than 25% and up to all of principal.
The preliminary estimated value is between 91.683% and 94.683% of the $1,000 price, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits, and the notes are designed to be held to maturity with no stock upside or dividends, full index downside below the threshold, complex tax treatment and exposure to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, with a term of about 22 to 25 months and no interest payments. At maturity, investors receive $1,000 per note plus 160% of any index gain, but returns are capped at an expected $1,186.72 to $1,219.52 per $1,000.
If the S&P 500® falls by up to 12.50%, investors receive their principal back. If it falls by more than 12.50%, principal is reduced at about 1.1429% for every additional 1% decline, potentially resulting in a total loss. The initial estimated value is expected between $958.80 and $988.80 per $1,000, reflecting fees and the bank’s internal funding rate. The notes are unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not listed on an exchange, and subject to the bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $16,985,000 of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and EURO STOXX 50 Index. The notes pay a 7.50% per annum contingent coupon only if both indices stay at or above 75% of their initial levels on quarterly observation dates.
The notes may be automatically called after 12 months if both indices are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus the due coupon. If not called and any index finishes below its 75% downside threshold at maturity in 2036, investors lose principal in line with the worst index, up to a total loss. The notes are unsecured BNS debt, not listed, with an initial estimated value of $9.066 per $10 note and a $1,000 minimum investment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured, auto-callable equity-linked securities tied to the common stock of Oklo Inc., maturing in February 2027. Each note has a $1,000 face amount and is designed to pay high contingent coupons rather than fixed interest.
Investors may receive monthly coupons at a rate of at least 29.25% per annum, but only when Oklo’s stock closes on the calculation day at or above the coupon threshold, set at 50% of the starting price. Missed coupons have a “memory” feature and can be paid later if the stock recovers above the threshold. From August 2026 through January 2027, the notes can be automatically called at par plus any due coupons if Oklo’s stock closes at or above the starting price.
If the notes are not called, principal is protected only if the final stock price is at or above the same 50% downside threshold. If the final price is below that level, repayment is reduced in line with Oklo’s decline, and investors can lose more than half, up to all, of principal. The bank’s estimated value per $1,000 security would be between $918.16 and $948.16, reflecting dealer compensation and hedging costs, and the notes are not listed and carry the issuer’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index. Each Note has a $10 principal amount and a term of approximately five years.
The Notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon at an annual rate between 7.80% and 8.30% only if both indices are at or above 70% of their initial levels on the relevant observation date. The Notes may be automatically called after 12 months if both indices are at or above their initial levels, in which case investors receive $10 plus the coupon and the Notes terminate.
If not called, and at maturity both indices are at or above their 70% downside thresholds, investors receive the $10 principal. If any index is below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced in line with the loss of the worst-performing index, up to a total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $9.01 and $9.31 per $10 Note, the Notes will not be listed, and all payments depend on BNS credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes tied to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and no periodic interest payments or dividends.
The notes are auto-callable after about one year. If NVIDIA’s stock closing price on the call date is at or above the starting price, investors receive $1,000 plus a call premium of at least 21.45%, and the notes terminate early. After an automatic call, investors do not participate in any further stock gains.
If not called, the maturity payment in 2029 depends on NVIDIA’s final stock price. Above the starting price, investors receive $1,000 plus 150% of the stock’s percentage gain. Between 60% and 100% of the starting price, they receive only the $1,000 face amount. Below 60% of the starting price, repayment falls one-for-one with the stock decline, so investors can lose more than 40% and up to all principal.
The securities will not be listed on any exchange and are designed to be held to maturity or automatic call. All payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The bank estimates the initial value at 93.146%–96.146% of the $1,000 offering price, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes due March 2, 2028, whose payoff depends on the least performing of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF and the EURO STOXX 50 Index.
The notes pay no interest. At maturity, if both reference assets finish above their initial levels, investors receive principal plus a leveraged gain based on a participation rate expected to be at least 153%. If any asset finishes below its initial level but at or above 90% of it, investors receive only principal. If any asset finishes below 90% of its initial level, principal is reduced one-for-one beyond the 10% buffer, with losses up to 90% of principal possible. Initial estimated value is between $925 and $965 per $1,000, below issue price, and upfront structuring and distribution fees, including up to 0.80% in dealer compensation, are embedded. Repayment depends on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia, and the notes will not be listed or provide dividends or voting rights.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $14,058,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to Oracle Corporation common stock, maturing on March 4, 2027. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $11.25 per $1,000 (1.125%, up to 13.50% per year) when Oracle’s closing price on an observation date is at or above 56.00% of the $174.90 initial price.
Starting July 2026, the notes are automatically called if Oracle’s price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 plus the applicable coupon. If not called, principal is fully repaid only if the final Oracle price on March 1, 2027 is at or above the 56.00% trigger. Below that level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with Oracle’s decline, down to total loss of principal, and no final coupon is paid. The initial estimated value is $958.24 per $1,000, below the issue price, and payments depend entirely on the credit of Bank of Nova Scotia; the notes will not be listed and may have limited liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes linked to the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), maturing on February 2, 2029. The notes are expected to price on January 30, 2026 and settle on February 4, 2026.
Holders may receive a contingent coupon of at least 7.00% per annum, paid quarterly, but only if XLE’s closing value on each observation date is at or above 70% of the initial value. If XLE is at or above the initial value on any observation date, the notes are automatically called at par plus the applicable contingent coupon.
If the notes are not called and XLE’s final value is below the 70% barrier, repayment of principal is reduced one-for-one with the decline in XLE, and up to 100% of principal may be lost. The initial estimated value is expected between $938.64 and $968.64 per $1,000 principal amount, below the issue price, and the notes will not be listed, limiting liquidity.
