The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc., maturing on February 9, 2029. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and an original issue price of 100%.
If on any quarterly observation date Tesla’s closing price is at or above the initial level, investors receive a contingent coupon of at least $34.375 per note (at least 13.75% per annum) and, if also at or above the initial level on a call date, the notes are automatically redeemed early at par plus that coupon. If the notes are not called and Tesla’s final price is at or above 50% of the initial level, investors receive principal back (plus any due coupon). If the final price is below this barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with Tesla’s decline, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal.
The notes are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia, will not be listed on an exchange, and are not insured by the CDIC or FDIC. The initial estimated value is expected to be $928.74–$958.74 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting fees, hedging and the Bank’s internal funding rate. Underwriting commissions are up to 2.00% of principal.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $3,170,000 of Contingent Buffer Digital Notes linked to the common stock of Constellation Energy Corporation. Each Note has a $10,000 Principal Amount and matures on February 10, 2027.
If the Constellation Energy stock closing value on the Final Valuation Date is at least 80.00% of the $289.06 Initial Value, investors receive $12,074.00 per $10,000 Note, reflecting a fixed Digital Return of 20.74%. If the Final Value is below the $231.25 Buffer Value, investors receive a Physical Delivery Amount of 43.2432 shares (plus cash in lieu of any fractional share) and can lose up to 100% of principal.
The Notes pay no interest, are unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Bank, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on any exchange. The Original Issue Price is 100% of principal, but the initial estimated value is $9,876.80 per $10,000, and underwriting commissions are 1.00% of the offering.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured autocallable notes linked to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) maturing February 1, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and pays a contingent coupon of $10.30 per Observation Date if SPY’s closing value is at or above 95% of its initial level of $692.73. Missed coupons accrue as “memory” and are paid on the next date that meets the barrier, but nothing is paid if the final level is below 95%.
The notes are automatically called, returning principal plus applicable coupons, if on any Observation Date before maturity SPY is at or above its initial level. If not called and SPY finishes below 95% of the initial level, investors lose about 1.0526% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 5% buffer and can lose their entire investment. The notes are not CDIC or FDIC insured, are not listed on an exchange, and investors face the credit risk of Scotiabank. Initial estimated value is between $965.51 and $995.51 per $1,000 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked, auto-callable senior notes tied to the ARK Innovation ETF. Each security has a $1,000 face amount, pays no interest and does not guarantee full principal repayment.
The notes can be automatically called on scheduled dates if the ETF’s closing price is at or above 80% of its starting level, paying back $1,000 plus a fixed call premium that steps up over time, based on a simple return of at least 8.60% per year, up to at least 25.80% by the final call date.
If the notes are never called and, on the final calculation day, the ETF has fallen more than the 20% buffer, investors take 1‑for‑1 losses beyond that buffer and may lose up to 80% of principal. The bank’s own estimated value is between 91.968% and 94.968% of the $1,000 price, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits. The securities are unsecured obligations exposed to BNS credit risk, pay no dividends, are not insured, and are not listed, so liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured structured notes called Buffered Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities with Memory Coupon and Downside Leverage, linked to shares of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust. Each security has a stated principal of $1,000 and matures on February 1, 2027, with principal fully at risk.
Investors can receive a contingent monthly coupon of $10.30 per security (equivalent to 12.36% per annum) for each determination date on which the SPY closing price is at or above the downside threshold price of $658.0935, which is 95% of the initial share price of $692.73. If on any non-final determination date the closing price is at or above the call threshold price of $692.73, the notes are automatically redeemed for $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid past coupons (memory feature).
If the notes are not called and the final SPY price is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced: holders receive a cash value that results in losing approximately 1.0526% of principal for every 1% that the final price falls below the threshold, up to a total loss. Payments depend on BNS’s credit, the notes are not listed, and their estimated value on pricing is expected to be below the $1,000 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured, unsubordinated Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due February 2, 2029, linked to the common stock of Netflix, Inc.
The notes pay a contingent coupon of at least $32.50 per $1,000 (at least 13.00% per annum) on scheduled observation dates only if Netflix’s closing value is at or above a barrier set at 70% of the initial value. The notes are automatically called, returning principal plus the coupon, if Netflix is at or above its initial value on any call observation date.
If the notes are not called and Netflix finishes below the 70% barrier at maturity, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline from the initial value, up to a 100% loss of principal. The original issue price is 100% of principal, with underwriting commissions up to 2.00%, and the initial estimated value is expected between $936.94 and $966.94 per $1,000. All payments depend on Scotiabank’s credit and the notes will not be listed on an exchange.

The notes pay a contingent coupon of at least $61.00 per $1,000 (at least 24.40% per annum) on scheduled dates only if Micron’s closing price is at or above a barrier set at 50% of its initial value; otherwise no coupon is paid.
The notes can be automatically called on any observation date if Micron’s closing value is at or above the initial value, returning the $1,000 principal plus the applicable coupon, with no further payments. If the notes are not called and Micron’s final value is at or above the 50% barrier, investors receive full principal back at maturity, plus any due coupon. If the final value is below the barrier, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline from the initial value, up to a total loss of principal.
The notes are unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, will not be listed on any exchange, and may have limited or no secondary market. The initial estimated value is expected to range from $931.73 to $961.73 per $1,000, reflecting structuring, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffer Notes with Memory Coupon linked to the common stock of KLA Corporation. Each $1,000 Note can be automatically called on quarterly Observation Dates if KLA’s closing value is at or above its initial level, returning principal plus any due contingent and unpaid coupons.
If not called, a contingent coupon of at least $44.625 per Note is paid on an Observation Date only when KLA closes at or above 75% of its initial value; missed coupons may be paid later if conditions are met. At maturity in February 2027, investors receive full principal only if KLA’s final value is at or above 75% of the initial level; below that buffer, losses accelerate at about 1.3333% of principal for each 1% drop beyond the 25% buffer, up to total loss. The Notes are not listed, pay only in cash, carry the credit risk of Scotiabank, and have an initial estimated value between $950.50 and $980.50 per $1,000, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $16,660,000 of Airbag Autocallable Yield Notes linked to Qualcomm common stock, maturing on January 28, 2027. Each $1,000 Note pays a fixed coupon at a 10.35% per annum rate, in monthly installments, as long as the Notes remain outstanding, regardless of the stock’s performance.
The Notes can be automatically called quarterly if Qualcomm’s share price is at or above the call threshold of $155.82, returning principal plus the coupon due on that date. If they are not called and the final stock price on the valuation date is at or above the conversion level of $132.45, investors receive their $1,000 principal back in cash at maturity. If the final price is below $132.45, investors receive about 7.55 Qualcomm shares per Note (plus cash for any fraction), which is expected to be worth less than $1,000 and could result in a total loss. All payments depend on BNS’s credit; there is no exchange listing and liquidity is expected to be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Market Linked Securities tied to the VanEck Gold Miners ETF and the iShares Silver Trust, maturing in March 2029. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and pays a quarterly contingent coupon only if the worst‑performing fund on that calculation day is at or above 70% of its starting price. The contingent coupon rate will be set on the pricing date at no less than 24.50% per annum.
The notes are auto‑callable quarterly from August 2026 to November 2028 if the worst‑performing fund is at or above its starting price, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon. If not called and, at final valuation, the worst fund is below 70% of its starting price, investors lose principal in full proportion to that decline and can lose all of their investment. Investors do not participate in any upside of the ETFs and receive no dividends. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk, and the issuer’s estimated value is initially between 91.249% and 94.249% of the $1,000 price.
