The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $2,602,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due January 19, 2029, linked to the common stock of Uber Technologies, Inc. Each $1,000 Note can pay a Contingent Coupon of $25.00 (10.00% per annum) on scheduled dates if Uber’s closing price is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value of $50.91, which is 60.00% of the Initial Value of $84.85.
The Notes are automatically called if Uber’s price on a Call Observation Date is at or above the Initial Value, paying back principal plus the relevant coupon. If the Notes are not called and Uber’s Final Value on January 16, 2029 is at or above the $50.91 Barrier Value, investors receive full principal. If the Final Value is below the Barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with Uber’s decline from the Initial Value, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured by the CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is $966.73 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting internal funding and structuring costs, and secondary market liquidity may be limited.
