The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Digital Trigger Notes linked to the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, maturing in March 2029. The notes pay no interest and may be automatically called in February 2027 if both indices are at or above their initial levels.
If called, investors receive $1,000 plus a call premium of at least 7.60% per $1,000. If not called, maturity payoff depends on the worst-performing index. If both final levels are at or above initial, the payout is the greater of $1,400 or $1,000 plus the least-performing index return.
If any index finishes below its initial level but at least 85% of it, investors receive only the $1,000 principal. If any index ends below 85% of its initial level, repayment falls one-for-one with the worst index decline, down to a total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, reflecting underwriting commissions and structuring fees.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the Class A common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc., maturing March 8, 2027. Each $1,000 note pays a monthly contingent coupon of $8.875 (0.8875%, up to 10.65% per year) if Meta’s closing price on the observation date is at least 68.00% of the initial price. The notes are automatically called if, on specified call observation dates from August 2026 to February 2027, Meta closes at or above the initial price, triggering repayment of $1,000 plus the coupon for that month.
If the notes are not called and Meta’s final price on the March 3, 2027 valuation date is at least 68.00% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon. If the final price is below 68.00%, investors receive Meta shares worth less than 68% of principal and no coupon, meaning a loss of all or a substantial portion of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $955 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the notes will not be listed, with secondary pricing affected by fees, hedging and the issuer’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $4,619,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, maturing on July 27, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, pays no interest and is an unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of the bank.
At maturity, if the index is above the initial level of 6,915.61, investors receive principal plus 150% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,153.75 per $1,000 (a 15.375% maximum return). If the index is flat or down by up to 10%, investors receive back their $1,000.
If the index is down more than 10%, principal is reduced: investors lose about 1.1111% of principal for every 1% decline beyond the 10% buffer, and can lose up to all of their investment. The notes will not be listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value is $974.77 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, hedging and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $15,045,000 of unsecured digital notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, maturing July 27, 2027. Each $1,000 note pays no interest and its value at maturity depends on the index level on July 23, 2027 versus the initial level of 6,915.61 set on January 23, 2026. If the final index level is at least 85% of the initial level, holders receive a fixed maximum payment of $1,099.20 per $1,000 note, capping total return at 9.92%. If the final level falls more than 15% below the initial level, principal loss accelerates at about 1.1765% for every additional 1% decline, up to a total loss of principal. The notes are not insured, are not listed on an exchange, and any payment depends on Scotiabank’s credit. The initial estimated value is $981.03 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting fees, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes that are auto-callable and tied to the lowest performing of Broadcom, Alphabet Class C and Netflix stock. Each $1,000 note can be automatically called after about one year if the lowest performing stock is at or above its starting price, paying back $1,000 plus a call premium of at least 37.50%. If not called, at maturity investors receive either 300% of any gain in the lowest stock, a positive return equal to its loss (capped at 50%) if it falls but stays above 50% of its start, or full downside exposure if it drops below 50%, which can mean losing most or all of principal. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are not listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on the credit of The Bank of Nova Scotia, with an estimated value between 91.842% and 94.842% of the $1,000 price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured digital notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing in March 2028. The notes pay no interest and are designed to return either a capped gain or only principal at maturity.
If on the valuation date both indices are at or above their initial levels, holders receive a fixed "threshold settlement amount," expected to be at least $1,112.50 per $1,000 of principal, regardless of how far the indices have risen. If either index finishes below its initial level, the payment is limited to the $1,000 principal, so any upside is forgone and the real value may be eroded by inflation.
The initial estimated value is expected to be $925–$965 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting structuring fees, dealer compensation and hedging costs, which may pressure secondary market prices. The notes will not be listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering capped buffered index-linked notes tied to the least performing of the Russell 2000® and S&P 500® indexes, maturing around August 31, 2027. The notes pay no interest and repay at maturity based on index performance from an expected February 26, 2026 trade date to an expected August 26, 2027 valuation date.
Investors receive 120% of the gain of the worst-performing index, but only up to a maximum payment of about $1,197.50 per $1,000, capping upside at roughly 19.75%. If the worst index finishes between 90% and 100% of its starting level, investors get 120% of the absolute loss as a positive return. Below 90% of its initial level, principal loss matches the decline beyond that 10% buffer, up to a 90% loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, below issue price, reflecting internal funding and fees. Underwriting and related selling costs can total up to about 2.10% of principal. The notes are unsecured senior obligations of Scotiabank, not listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on the bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $19,730,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due January 26, 2029, linked to GE Vernova Inc. common stock. These senior unsecured notes can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $33.20 per $1,000 (equivalent to 13.28% per annum) on each determination date when GE Vernova’s share price is at or above the downside threshold of $328.89, which is 50.00% of the $657.78 initial share price. A “memory” feature allows previously skipped coupons to be paid later if the threshold is met.
The notes are automatically called if the stock closes at or above the call threshold of $657.78 on any non-final determination date, returning the $1,000 principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the notes are not called and the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with the stock’s decline, and the maturity payment can be less than 50.00% of principal and as low as zero. Investors do not receive dividends or any upside beyond coupons, the estimated value at pricing is $975.10 per $1,000, and all payments are subject to BNS credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes tied to the common stock of Oracle Corporation, maturing on February 16, 2029. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and pays a contingent quarterly coupon only if Oracle’s stock closes at or above 50% of the starting price on the relevant calculation day. The contingent coupon rate will be set on the pricing date and will be at least 12.00% per annum, with a memory feature that can catch up previously missed coupons when conditions are later met.
The notes are auto-callable quarterly from August 2026 to November 2028 if Oracle’s stock closes at or above the starting price, in which case holders receive the face amount plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the notes are not called and Oracle’s final price is below 50% of the starting price, holders lose more than half, and possibly all, of principal; upside is capped at par, with no participation in stock gains or dividends. The securities are not listed, are subject to the Bank’s credit risk, and have an estimated value between $917.78 and $947.78 per $1,000 at pricing.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to Alphabet Inc. Class C shares. The notes run to an expected maturity of March 8, 2027, with monthly observation dates starting in March 2026.
Investors may receive a contingent coupon of $9.167 per $1,000 (0.9167% monthly, about 11.00% per year) on each coupon date, but only if Alphabet’s share price is at least 70% of the initial price on the related observation date. Beginning in August 2026, the notes are automatically called if Alphabet closes at or above the initial price on a call observation date, returning principal plus that month’s coupon.
If the notes are not called and the final price is at least 70% of the initial price, investors get back principal plus the last coupon. If the final price is below 70%, holders receive Alphabet shares (or cash) worth less than 70% of principal, resulting in a substantial or total loss. The notes are not principal protected, are not listed, and carry both market risk on Alphabet and credit risk of Scotiabank. The initial estimated value is expected to be $925–$955 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, funding and hedging costs.
