The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $26,610,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due January 22, 2027, linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation. Each security has a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000.
Investors can receive a contingent quarterly coupon of $32.90 per security (13.16% per annum) for any determination date on which NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above the downside threshold of $111.738, equal to 60% of the initial share price of $186.23. If the stock closes at or above the call threshold of $186.23 on any non-final determination date, the notes are automatically redeemed at $1,000 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 of principal is reduced 1-to-1 with NVIDIA’s decline, and the maturity payment can be far less than 60% of principal and as low as zero. The securities do not participate in any stock upside, are not listed on any exchange, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of BNS. The initial estimated value on the pricing date is $977.70 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $50,105,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due January 19, 2029, linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000 and offers a contingent quarterly coupon of $27.75 (equivalent to 11.10% per annum) when the NVIDIA closing price on a determination date is at or above the downside threshold price of $93.115, which is 50% of the initial share price of $186.23.
If on any non-final determination date the NVIDIA price is at or above the call threshold price of $186.23, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons under the memory feature, and no further payments occur. At maturity, if the final share price is at or above the downside threshold, investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons; if it is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with NVIDIA’s decline, to less than 50% of principal and potentially zero. Investors do not participate in any upside of the stock, forgo dividends, face limited liquidity, and are fully exposed to the credit risk of BNS, with an estimated initial value of $969.80 per $1,000 below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $6,298,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, maturing on July 21, 2027. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $9.25 per $1,000 (0.925% monthly, up to 11.10% per year) on each monthly observation date only if NVIDIA’s closing price is at least 53.00% of the $186.23 initial price.
Beginning in July 2026, the notes are automatically called if NVIDIA’s price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 per note plus that period’s coupon. If the notes are not called and NVIDIA’s final price is at least 53.00% of the initial price, holders receive $1,000 per note plus the final coupon. If the final price is below 53.00%, holders receive a fixed share amount of NVIDIA (or cash equivalent) worth less than 53% of principal and no coupon, meaning substantial or total loss is possible.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on any exchange. The initial estimated value is $970.13 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting fees, structuring costs and hedging.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $8,823,000 of Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, maturing on May 10, 2028. The notes pay no interest and are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Bank.
For each $1,000 note, if the final S&P 500 level on May 8, 2028 is at least 85% of the initial level of 6,940.01, holders receive a fixed $1,184.40. If the index falls more than 15% from the initial level, repayment drops below principal, with losses of about 1.1765% for each 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, down to a possible total loss.
The notes reflect price return only, exclude dividends, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value is $990 per $1,000, below issue price, and secondary market liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the Class C common stock of Dell Technologies Inc., maturing in March 2027. Investors receive monthly contingent coupons of $11.084 per $1,000 (about 1.1084% per month, up to roughly 13.30% per year) only if Dell’s share price on each observation date is at or above 58.00% of the initial price.
The notes can be automatically called starting in August 2026 if Dell’s stock is at or above the initial price on a call observation date, returning principal plus that period’s coupon. If the notes are not called and Dell’s final price is below 58.00% of the initial price, investors receive Dell shares worth less than 58% of principal and no coupon, meaning they can lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. The initial estimated value is expected to be $900–$930 per $1,000, reflecting selling commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs. The notes are not insured, will not be listed on an exchange and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $7,155,000 of Trigger Jump Securities linked to Oracle Corporation common stock, maturing January 21, 2028. These senior unsecured notes pay no interest and do not guarantee a return of principal. Each $1,000 security pays back $1,000 plus a fixed upside payment of $713.20 (71.32%) if the final Oracle share price on the valuation date is at or above the initial share price of $191.09.
If the final share price is below $191.09 but at or above the trigger level of $171.981 (90% of the initial price), investors receive only the $1,000 principal. If the final price is below the trigger, repayment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the underlying return, so investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% Oracle falls below the initial price and can lose their entire investment.
The securities are subject to BNS credit risk, will not be listed on any exchange, have limited expected liquidity, and had an estimated value at pricing of $954.90 per $1,000, below the issue price due to sales commissions, structuring fees and funding costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on January 26, 2028. The Notes pay a contingent coupon at 9.00% per annum only when the index on a quarterly observation date is at or above the coupon barrier of 5,097.65, which is 75% of the initial level of 6,796.86. The Notes are automatically called early if on any observation date after six months the index is at or above the initial level, in which case investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and the product terminates.
If the Notes are not called and, at maturity, the index is at or above the downside threshold of 5,097.65, investors receive full principal back. If the final index level is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the index loss, and investors can lose their entire investment. Coupons are not guaranteed, the Notes will not be listed, their estimated initial value (about $9.588–$9.888 per $10) is below issue price, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of BNS.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $30,653,950 of Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on January 21, 2031.
Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with an initial index level of 2,677.738, an autocall barrier at 100% of that level and a downside threshold at 75% (2,008.304). If on the January 25, 2027 observation date the index closes at or above the barrier, the notes are automatically called and pay a fixed call price of $11.10 per $10, reflecting an 11.00% call return, and then terminate.
If not called, at maturity investors receive $10 plus any positive index return multiplied by 1.45 upside gearing. If the final index level is at or above the downside threshold with a zero or negative return, principal is repaid. If the final level is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the index loss, up to a complete loss of principal. The notes pay no interest, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, have limited liquidity, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The initial estimated value is $9.6678 per $10 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $4,660,000 of Tesla-linked Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities, part of its Senior Note Program, Series A. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and offers a contingent quarterly coupon of $34.50 per security (equivalent to 13.80% per annum) when Tesla’s closing price on a determination date is at or above the downside threshold of $218.75, which is 50.00% of the initial share price.
The notes can be automatically redeemed on quarterly dates after a 6‑month non-call period if Tesla closes at or above the call threshold price of $437.50 (100.00% of the initial share price). If held to the January 19, 2029 maturity and Tesla’s final share price is below the downside threshold, investors are exposed 1-to-1 to the stock’s decline from the initial share price and can lose a significant portion or all of their principal.
Investors do not participate in any upside of Tesla beyond the contingent coupons, forgo Tesla dividends, face credit risk of BNS, and may face limited liquidity because the securities will not be listed. BNS’ estimated value on the pricing date is $964.00 per $1,000 security, below the issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $8.2 million of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to Bank of America common stock. Each Note has a $10 principal amount and pays a 9.00% per annum contingent coupon (about $0.225 per quarter) only if BAC’s closing level on an observation date is at or above the coupon barrier of $37.24, which is 70.30% of the $52.97 initial level.
The Notes can be automatically called quarterly, starting about six months after issuance, if BAC closes at or above the initial level; in that case investors receive $10 plus the applicable coupon and the Note terminates. If not called and BAC is at or above the downside threshold of $37.24 at final valuation in January 2029, investors get back $10 per Note. If BAC finishes below the downside threshold, repayment is $10 × (1 + underlying return), exposing investors to the full downside and potentially a total loss.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and depend entirely on BNS’s credit. They will not be listed, may have limited liquidity, and have an initial estimated value of $9.65 per $10 issue price due to structuring, distribution, and hedging costs.
