The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $813,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffered Notes linked to NVIDIA Corporation stock, maturing February 25, 2027. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $8.167 per $1,000 (0.8167% monthly, about 9.80% per year) on each monthly observation date only if NVIDIA’s closing price is at least 75% of the $178.07 initial price. Starting July 2026, the notes are automatically called if NVIDIA closes at or above the initial price on a call observation date, returning $1,000 plus the coupon and ending future payments.
If not called, holders receive at maturity $1,000 plus the final coupon if NVIDIA’s final price is at least 75% of the initial price. If the final price is below 75%, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline beyond the 25% buffer, up to a 75% loss of principal, and no final coupon is paid. 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.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured digital notes linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index, with a term expected to be about 22 to 25 months. The notes pay no interest and are not principal-protected.
At maturity, for each $1,000 note, if the index’s final level is at least 85.00% of its initial level, investors receive a fixed maximum payment, expected to be between $1,136.70 and $1,160.80. 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.
The initial estimated value is expected between $953.70 and $983.70 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs. The notes will not be listed, secondary liquidity will rely on Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. Investors also face equity market, Eurozone, currency, liquidity and tax risks.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $9,750,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, maturing February 25, 2027. Investors receive a monthly contingent coupon of $10.292 per $1,000 (1.0292%, about 12.35% per annum) only when NVIDIA’s closing price on an observation date is at least 59% of the $178.07 initial price.
Starting in July 2026, the notes are automatically called if NVIDIA closes at or above the initial price on a call observation date, paying $1,000 plus the applicable coupon. If not called and the final price is at least 59% of the initial price, investors get $1,000 plus the final coupon. If the final price is below 59%, holders receive NVIDIA shares (or cash for fractions) worth less than 59% of principal, resulting in a substantial or total loss.
The initial estimated value is $970.09 per $1,000, below the issue price due to commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs. The notes are not listed, may have limited liquidity, pay no dividends on NVIDIA, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.

If the final index level is at least 85.00% of the initial level of 5,892.08, holders receive a fixed $1,150.00 per $1,000 note, a 15% gain. If the final level is below 85.00%, repayment is reduced using a buffer rate of approximately 117.65%, so losses accelerate below the 15.00% threshold and can reach 100% of principal.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is $973.50 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs, and secondary market liquidity is expected to be limited.

From April 2026 to December 2028, the notes are auto‑callable at par plus coupons if the lowest stock is at or above its starting price.
If not called, principal is protected at maturity only if the lowest stock finishes at or above 60% of its starting price; otherwise repayment is $1,000 multiplied by that stock’s performance, so losses can exceed 40% and reach 100%. The notes do not participate in any stock upside or pay dividends, carry the credit risk of Scotiabank, have an estimated value of $929.79 per $1,000, and are not exchange‑listed.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering principal-at-risk Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD), maturing on or about February 2, 2029. Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $36.75, equivalent to 14.70% per annum, for any determination date on which AMD’s closing price is at least 50.00% of the initial share price. A “memory” feature allows previously missed coupons to be paid later if the threshold is met.
If on any non-final determination date AMD’s price is at least 100.00% of the initial share price, the note is automatically called and repays $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons; investors then receive no further payments. At maturity, if the note has not been called and AMD is at or above 50.00% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus due coupons. If AMD ends below 50.00%, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with AMD’s decline and can fall to zero, meaning loss of the entire investment.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Vertiv Holdings Co, maturing on or about February 2, 2029. Each security has a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000.
The notes can pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $41.275 per security (equivalent to 16.51% per annum) on any determination date when Vertiv’s closing price is at least 50% of the initial share price, with a “memory” feature that can make up missed coupons later if the condition is met. If on any non-final determination date the stock is at or above 100% of the initial share price, the notes are automatically called for $1,000 plus applicable coupons, ending all future payments.
At maturity, if the final share price is at least 50% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus any due coupons. If it is below 50%, the payoff is $1,000 multiplied by the share performance factor, so losses mirror Vertiv’s decline and can reach 100% of principal. The notes do not participate in any stock upside and pay no dividends. All payments depend on BNS’s credit, and the initial estimated value per $1,000 is expected to be between $932.09 and $962.09, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, with a term of about five years and quarterly observation dates after 12 months.

If the Notes are not called and the final index level is at or above 75% of the initial level, investors receive the $10 principal per Note at maturity.

Investors can receive contingent coupons of $85.00 per Note (equivalent to 34.00% per annum) on specified observation dates if Cipher Mining’s stock closes at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value of $8.86, which is 50.00% of the $17.72 Initial Value. Missed coupons are not lost if a later observation date meets the barrier, but no coupons are ever paid if the Final Value is below the barrier.
If the Notes are not automatically called and the Final Value is at or above the $8.86 Barrier Value, investors receive their $1,000 principal back plus any due coupons. If the Final Value is below the Barrier Value, repayment is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Reference Asset Return), creating one-for-one downside exposure and potential loss of up to 100% of principal.
