The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,000,000 of Jump Securities linked to the common stock of Northrop Grumman Corporation, maturing on January 8, 2027. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000, pays no interest and exposes investors to full downside in the underlying stock and to BNS credit risk.
If the final share price on the valuation date is at or above the initial share price of $577.37, investors receive $1,000 plus a fixed upside payment of $190 per security, capping the maximum positive return at 19%. If the final share price is below the initial share price, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 × underlying return, so investors lose 1% of principal for every 1% decline and can lose their entire investment. The notes are not listed, have limited liquidity, and had an estimated value at pricing of $979.70 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $5,657,000 of Auto-Callable Dual Directional Buffered PLUS linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing January 3, 2028. Each $1,000 security pays no interest and can be automatically redeemed early for $1,100 per note if the index on the determination date before maturity is at or above the initial level of 2,534.345. If held to maturity and the index is higher, investors receive principal plus 125% of the index’s gain. If the index is up to 10% lower, investors get a positive “dual directional” return matching the decline, capped at a 10% gain. Below the 10% buffer, losses increase 1% for each additional 1% index drop, with a minimum payment of $100, meaning up to 90% of principal can be lost. The notes are unsecured senior debt of BNS, not listed on any exchange, and had an estimated value on the pricing date of $971.50 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,000,000 in Buffered Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 31, 2029, linked to Vertiv Holdings Co common stock. These senior unsecured notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $28.10 per $1,000 security (equivalent to 11.24% per annum) only when Vertiv’s closing price on a determination date is at or above the downside threshold of 50% of the initial share price of $167.58.
If Vertiv’s price on any non-final determination date is at or above the call threshold of $167.58 (100% of the initial price), the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid prior coupons via a memory feature. If the notes are not called and the final share price is below the downside threshold, investors receive a cash amount that declines by 2.00% for every 1% Vertiv falls below the threshold, risking up to a 100% loss of principal.
The notes do not participate in any upside of Vertiv stock, pay no guaranteed income, are not listed on any exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The initial estimated value is $947.00 per $1,000 security, below the issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $28,870,000 of senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 29, 2028, linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation. Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $26.625 (equivalent to 10.65% per annum) if on the relevant determination date NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above the downside threshold of $95.265, which is 50.00% of the $190.53 initial share price. Missed coupons may be paid later under a memory feature if a future determination date meets the threshold.
The notes are automatically called if NVIDIA closes at or above the $190.53 call threshold on any non-final determination date, returning principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the securities are not called and the final share price is at or above the downside threshold, investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons at maturity. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment equals the $1,000 principal multiplied by the share performance factor, so the payoff can be less than 50.00% of principal and may be zero. Investors do not participate in any stock appreciation, forgo dividends, face limited liquidity, and are fully exposed to BNS credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is $965.19 per $1,000, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $11,127,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 29, 2028, linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000.
Investors may receive a contingent quarterly coupon of $38.80 per security (equivalent to 15.52% per annum) for any determination date on which Tesla’s closing price is at or above 50.00% of the initial share price of $475.19. Missed coupons can be paid later under a memory feature if the threshold is later met.
If Tesla’s price on any non-final determination date is at or above the call threshold price of $475.19, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. At maturity, if Tesla’s final price is below the 50.00% downside threshold, repayment is reduced in line with the decline and can be well below 50% of principal or zero, so investors can lose their entire investment.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, subject to its credit risk, are not insured or bail-inable, will not be listed on any exchange, and have an initial estimated value of $972.40 per $1,000, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $8,082,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 29, 2028, linked to the common stock of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. Each security has a $1,000 principal amount and can pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $26.25 (equivalent to 10.50% per annum) when the GS closing price on a determination date is at least 70.00% of the initial share price of $907.04, a downside threshold of $634.928.
If on any non-final determination date GS closes at or above the call threshold of 100.00% of the initial share price, the notes are automatically redeemed at $1,000 plus the coupon for that quarter, and no further payments are made. If held to maturity and GS finishes below the downside threshold, investors are exposed 1-to-1 to the decline in GS from the initial price, and may lose most or all principal.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, carry no dividend rights in GS and will not be listed on any exchange. The estimated value on the pricing date is $966.00 per $1,000 note, reflecting embedded fees including a total selling concession of $22.50 per note and hedging costs, and may be lower than the issue price in secondary trading.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Dual Directional Buffered PLUS, principal-at-risk notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index and maturing on or about February 3, 2028. Each Buffered PLUS has a stated principal amount of $1,000, pays no interest and is issued under BNS’ Senior Note Program, Series A.
At maturity, if the index is above its initial level, investors receive $1,000 plus 150.00% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,181.40 per note (a maximum upside gain of 18.14%). If the index is flat or down by up to 15.00%, investors receive $1,000 plus an unleveraged positive return equal to the absolute decline, up to a 15.00% gain. If the index falls by more than 15.00%, principal is reduced 1% for each additional 1% decline, with a minimum payment of $150.00, meaning up to 85.00% of principal can be lost. All payments depend on BNS’ credit, the notes will not be listed, liquidity may be limited, and the estimated value on the pricing date is expected between $936.71 and $966.71 per $1,000 before sales commissions and structuring fees totaling $25.00 per note.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked separately to the common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) and Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR), each in an aggregate amount of $1,100,000 and issued at $10 per Note. These senior unsecured notes pay a high contingent coupon only if the underlying stock on each monthly observation date is at or above a preset coupon barrier.
The AMD-linked Notes offer a 20.50% per annum contingent coupon with an initial level of $214.99 and both coupon barrier and downside threshold at $139.74, or 65% of the initial level. The Palantir-linked Notes offer a 20.25% per annum contingent coupon with an initial level of $188.71, a coupon barrier of $113.23 (60%) and a downside threshold of $103.79 (55%).
The Notes can be called early if the underlying closes at or above its initial level on an observation date, in which case holders receive principal plus that period’s coupon and the product terminates. If not called and the final stock level is below the downside threshold at maturity, repayment is reduced in line with the stock’s loss, and holders can lose some or all of their principal. All payments depend on BNS’s credit and the Notes are expected to have limited or no secondary market liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $16,974,650 of Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on December 31, 2030. Each Security has a $10 principal amount and pays no interest.
The notes may be automatically called on January 4, 2027 if the index closes at or above the initial level of 2,519.798, paying a call price of $11.20 per Security, a 12.00% return, after which no further payments are made. If not called, at maturity investors receive upside exposure to any positive index return multiplied by an upside gearing of 1.26, full principal back if the index is at or above the downside threshold of 1,889.849 (75% of the initial level), or a loss matching the index decline if the final level is below that threshold, up to a total loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is $9.62 per $10 Security, below the issue price, and the notes are not listed on any exchange. All payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia; a default could result in losing the entire investment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $30.6 million of Trigger Autocallable GEARS, a structured note linked to an unequally weighted basket of five equity indices: EURO STOXX 50 (40%), Nikkei 225 (25%), FTSE 100 (17.5%), Swiss Market Index (10%) and S&P/ASX 200 (7.5%). Each Security has a $10 principal amount and a term of about five years, unless called early.
The notes pay no interest. On the January 4 2027 observation date, if the basket level is at or above 100% of its initial level, the notes are automatically called and pay $11.40 per Security (a 14.00% call return), with no further payments. If not called, at maturity investors get enhanced upside equal to the basket gain multiplied by 1.42, or full principal back if the basket is flat or down but no lower than 75% of its initial level. If the final basket level is below 75%, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the basket loss, and investors can lose their entire investment.
The Securities are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, are not insured or bail-inable, will not be listed on an exchange, and their return depends on both basket performance and BNS’s credit. The initial estimated value is $9.565 per $10 note, with BNS receiving $9.75 per Security after a $0.25 underwriting discount.
