The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes linked to Tesla, Inc. common stock, maturing January 26, 2029. The Notes may be automatically called on quarterly observation dates if Tesla’s closing value is at or above the Initial Value, in which case investors receive $1,000 per Note plus any due Contingent Coupon and the Notes terminate early.
If not called, investors receive a Contingent Coupon of at least $36.75 per Note (at least 14.70% per annum) on each observation date only when Tesla’s closing value is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value, set at 50.00% of the Initial Value. If the Final Value on the January 23, 2029 Final Valuation Date is at or above the 50.00% Barrier Value, principal is returned; if it is below, repayment is reduced one-for-one with Tesla’s decline and up to 100% of principal can be lost.
The minimum investment is $1,000, and the initial estimated value is expected between $934.61 and $964.61 per $1,000 Principal Amount, below the 100% Original Issue Price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not listed on any exchange, do not pay guaranteed interest, and all payments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable contingent coupon trigger notes linked to Eli Lilly and Company common stock, maturing in March 2027. These unsecured notes can be automatically called starting in July 2026 through January 2027 if Eli Lilly’s stock on an observation date is at or above the initial price, in which case investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable coupon.
Investors are eligible for a monthly contingent coupon of $9.875 per $1,000 note (0.9875% monthly, up to 11.85% per annum) whenever the stock closes at or above 70.00% of the initial price on an observation date. If the notes are not called and the final stock price is below 70.00% of the initial price, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the stock decline, and investors can lose up to their entire principal and receive no coupon at maturity. The initial estimated value is expected to be $925.00–$955.00 per $1,000, and the notes are not listed and are subject to Bank of Nova Scotia credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $4,272,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the MSCI EAFE® Index, maturing on June 11, 2027. These notes pay no interest and your final payment depends entirely on index performance between January 13, 2026 and June 9, 2027.
If the index ends above the initial level of 2,972.93, you receive 160% of the index gain, but your total payoff is capped at $1,191.04 per $1,000 note. If the index is flat or down by up to 10%, you receive your $1,000 principal. Below a 10% decline, losses accelerate at about 1.1111% for every additional 1% drop, so you can lose all of your investment.
The notes are unsecured senior obligations of Scotiabank, are not insured, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is $999.70 per $1,000, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs, and liquidity may be limited, potentially leading to an immediate and persistent discount in secondary trading.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured “principal at risk” notes that pay a high contingent quarterly coupon linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc.. Investors can receive a coupon of $34.50 per $1,000 (equivalent to 13.80% per annum) for each quarter in which Tesla’s closing price is at or above 50% of the initial share price. A “memory” feature allows missed coupons to be paid later if the test is subsequently met.
Starting from the second determination date, the notes auto-call if Tesla’s price is at or above 100% of the initial share price, returning principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the notes are not called and Tesla’s final price is below the 50% downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1‑for‑1 with Tesla’s decline and can fall to zero, so investors may lose their entire investment. The notes are unsecured obligations of BNS, not listed on an exchange, and BNS estimates their initial value between $936.26 and $966.26 per $1,000 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering three Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked separately to GE Vernova, Alphabet Class A and Truist common stock, each maturing around January 19, 2029, with a principal amount of $10 per Note and a term of about three years.
Investors may receive quarterly contingent coupons only when the underlying stock closes at or above a preset coupon barrier, with indicative rates of 13.30% per annum for GE Vernova and 9.00% per annum for both Alphabet and Truist. The Notes can be called early after six months if the underlying is at or above its initial level, returning principal plus the applicable coupon. If the Notes are not called and the final stock level is at or above the downside threshold (50.00%–64.90% of the initial level, depending on the offering), principal is repaid; otherwise repayment is reduced in line with the stock’s percentage decline, and total loss is possible.
The initial estimated value per $10 Note is expected between $9.22 and $9.66, below the issue price, and the Notes will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited. All payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness and the tax treatment is complex and uncertain, with U.S. and non-U.S. holders urged to consult tax advisors.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $10,000,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffer Notes with Memory Coupon linked to the shares of the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, maturing January 20, 2027. Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and pays a contingent coupon of $10.10 per Observation Date only if the ETF’s closing value is at or above 95% of its initial level; missed coupons can be paid later if a future Observation Date meets that threshold.
The notes are automatically called, returning principal plus due coupons, if on any Observation Date before maturity the ETF closes at or above its initial value. If held to maturity and the final ETF level is at least 95% of the initial value, investors receive full principal back plus any due coupons; below that, repayment falls on a leveraged basis and up to 100% of principal can be lost. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, not insured, not listed on any exchange, and their initial estimated value is $993.92 per $1,000 versus $1,000 original issue price, with net proceeds of $9,990,000 after 0.10% fees.

The notes will not be listed and any payment depends on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
