The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured digital notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with a term of about 13 to 15 months. The notes pay no interest and are not listed on any exchange.
At maturity, each $1,000 note pays a fixed maximum amount expected between $1,080.40 and $1,094.40 if the index final level is at least 90% of its initial level. If the index falls more than 10%, repayment is reduced at an accelerated rate of about 111.11% of the loss beyond that buffer, and you can lose up to your entire principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $940 and $970 per $1,000, reflecting dealer commissions of $9.80 per $1,000 and hedging costs. All payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering 134,530 Autocallable Bear Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index, at a $10 principal amount per unit, for a total public offering price of $1,345,300. Proceeds to BNS before expenses are $9.875 per unit, or $1,328,483.75, reflecting a $0.125 underwriting discount and a $0.05 hedging-related charge per unit.
The notes are senior unsecured debt of BNS with a term of about one year and one week, automatically callable if the Index on an observation date is less than or equal to the Starting Value of 25,518.35. If called, investors receive preset call amounts rising from $10.763 to $13.052 per unit. If the notes are not called and the Nasdaq-100 ends above the Starting Value, investors lose principal in proportion to the Index increase, with up to 100% of principal at risk. The notes pay no interest, do not offer dividends, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and have limited expected secondary market liquidity. All payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness, and the initial estimated value of $9.87 per unit is below the public offering price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., maturing in March 2027. The notes pay a contingent monthly coupon of at least $9.584 per $1,000 (at least 0.9584% per month, or at least about 11.50% per year) only when Amazon’s closing price on an observation date is at or above 71.00% of the initial price.
Starting in August 2026, the notes are automatically called if Amazon’s closing price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 per note plus the applicable coupon, with no further payments. If the notes are not called and Amazon’s final price is below 71.00% of the initial price, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline from the initial price, up to a total loss of principal, and receive no coupon.
The initial estimated value is expected to be $900–$930 per $1,000 note, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and structuring costs. Payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia, and the notes will not be listed on any exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured, unsubordinated autocallable contingent coupon notes linked to the common stock of JPMorgan Chase & Co. The notes have a principal amount of $1,000 per note, are expected to price on January 23, 2026, and mature on January 26, 2029, unless automatically called earlier.
Investors may receive quarterly contingent coupons of at least $20.75 per note (at least 8.30% per annum) if, on each observation date, the JPMorgan share price is at or above 70% of its initial value. The same 70% level serves as both the coupon barrier and principal protection barrier at maturity. If the notes are not called and the final share value is below this barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with JPMorgan’s decline and up to 100% of principal can be lost.
The notes do not provide any participation in JPMorgan share price gains or dividends. They will not be listed, and liquidity is expected to be limited. All payments depend entirely on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $936.70 and $966.70 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs.

The initial estimated value is expected to be $936.70–$966.70 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the Notes will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Contingent Buffer Digital Notes linked to the common stock of Constellation Energy Corporation, maturing on February 10, 2027. Each Note has a $10,000 principal amount and was struck when CEG closed at $289.06, with a buffer level at 80% of that price, or $231.25.
If CEG’s closing value on the Final Valuation Date is at or above the buffer, holders receive cash equal to principal plus a fixed 20.74% digital return, for a total of $12,074 per $10,000 Note, regardless of how much the stock has risen. If the final value is below the buffer, holders receive physical delivery of CEG shares instead of cash, based on a Physical Delivery Amount of 43.2432 shares per Note (rounded down to 43 shares plus cash for the fractional part), exposing them to further stock price moves and potential loss of up to their entire principal.
The Notes pay no interest, will not be listed on an exchange, and secondary liquidity may be limited. All payments are subject to the credit risk of Scotiabank, and the initial estimated value is disclosed as below the issue price due to structuring, hedging and distribution costs.
