The Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS) is offering $2.099 million principal amount of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Basket-Linked Notes due May 28, 2027. The senior unsecured notes are linked to a five-index, non-U.S. equity basket weighted 38% EURO STOXX 50, 26% TOPIX, 17% FTSE 100, 11% Swiss Market Index and 8% S&P/ASX 200. The trade date is June 27, 2025 (initial basket level set to 100) and the valuation date is May 26, 2027. No periodic interest is paid and the notes will not be listed.
Payout mechanics. At maturity investors receive:
- Principal + 250% of the positive basket return, capped at a maximum payment of $1,277.50 per $1,000 note (11.1% basket appreciation).
- Full principal if the basket declines ≤ 15% (buffer level 85).
- If the basket declines > 15%, repayment equals principal plus 117.65% × (basket return + 15%), leading to accelerated downside losses up to 100% of capital.
Pricing & valuation. The original issue price is 100% of principal; underwriting commission is waived. The issuer’s initial estimated value is $982.30, reflecting internal funding spreads and hedging costs—lower than the purchase price. Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. will act as calculation agent and may make a secondary market, but is not obliged to do so; bid/ask will embed its own model value and a declining premium that amortises to zero by Sept 27, 2025.
Risk highlights. The notes carry Bank of Nova Scotia credit risk, are not CDIC/FDIC-insured and include conflicts arising from hedging and market-making by affiliates. Liquidity may be limited, and investors forego dividends on the underlying stocks. Adverse FX moves, index methodology changes or market disruption events can further affect returns.
Use of proceeds. General corporate purposes; for the bank the issuance represents low-cost, zero-coupon term funding.
