The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $250,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes linked to the common stock of Arista Networks, Inc. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $41 per $1,000 note (16.40% per annum) on scheduled dates only if Arista’s share price is at or above a barrier of $81.80, equal to 60% of the $136.34 initial value. The notes can be automatically called on observation dates if the stock closes at or above the initial value, returning principal plus the applicable coupon and ending the investment early.
If the notes are not called and the final stock value is at or above the $81.80 barrier, investors receive only their $1,000 principal per note (plus any final coupon). If the final value is below the barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the stock’s decline from the initial value, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, are not insured, and will not be listed, so secondary market liquidity may be limited. The bank’s initial estimated value was $961.20 per $1,000, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing three tranches of senior medium-term notes: $300,000,000 floating rate notes due 2030, $1,350,000,000 4.247% fixed-to-floating notes due 2030, and $1,100,000,000 4.813% fixed-to-floating notes due 2034. All are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the bank and are issued at 100% of principal.
The floating portions pay interest at Compounded SOFR plus 0.73% for the 2030 notes and plus 1.045% for the 2034 notes, with quarterly payments, while the fixed periods pay semi-annual coupons at the stated fixed rates. The bank may redeem each series before maturity through make-whole and par call provisions at defined dates.
The notes are issued in minimum denominations of $2,000, will settle through DTC (including Euroclear and Clearstream), will not be listed on any securities exchange, and are subject to Canadian bail-in powers, meaning they can be converted into bank common shares or varied or extinguished under the CDIC Act. The notes are not insured by Canadian or U.S. deposit insurance agencies.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $500,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes with Memory Coupon due January 27, 2027, linked to the common stock of Cipher Mining Inc. (CIFR). Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and pays a contingent coupon of $85.00 per Note (34.00% per annum) only if CIFR’s closing value on specified observation dates is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier of $8.86, equal to 50.00% of the Initial Value of $17.72. Missed coupons become “memory” coupons and may be paid later if conditions are met.
The Notes are autocallable: if CIFR’s closing value on a call observation date is at or above the Initial Value, investors receive $1,000 per Note plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons, and the Notes terminate early. If not called and CIFR’s final value on the valuation date is at or above the Barrier Value of $8.86, investors receive full principal plus any due coupons. If the final value is below the Barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with CIFR’s decline from the Initial Value, with losses up to 100% of principal possible.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value on the trade date is $903.55 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting funding and hedging costs. Liquidity is expected to be limited and depends on market-making by an affiliate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffered Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, maturing in March 2027.

If at maturity NVIDIA’s final price is below 75.00% of the initial price, repayment of principal is reduced: investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% decline beyond the 25.00% buffer, up to a maximum loss of 75.00%.

The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, not listed on any exchange, and their estimated initial value is $970.50 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting selling costs and hedging. Investors forgo NVIDIA dividends and rely entirely on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness.

If the index falls more than 15% below its initial level, repayment drops according to a buffer rate of approximately 117.65%, so losses accelerate and can reach 100% of principal.
