The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes tied to the worst performer among Ares Management, KKR & Co., and Blue Owl Capital common stocks, maturing in January 2029. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and may pay a quarterly contingent coupon of at least 20.00% per annum, but only if the lowest-performing stock on each calculation day is at or above 60% of its starting price. Missed coupons can be paid later if conditions are met, but investors could receive no income over the entire term.
The notes are auto-callable quarterly from July 2026 to October 2028 if the lowest-performing stock is at or above its starting price, returning face amount plus due coupons. If not called, principal is protected only if the worst stock on the final calculation day stays at or above 60% of its starting price; otherwise, investors lose more than 40%, up to all principal. The Bank estimates the initial value at $937.90–$967.90 per $1,000, reflecting selling costs and hedging. The original price is $1,000, with an agent discount of $25.75 and proceeds of $974.25 to the Bank per security.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation. The Notes have a principal amount of $1,000 each, a scheduled maturity on January 4, 2029, and may be automatically called quarterly if NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above its initial value on any call observation date.
If not called, investors receive a contingent coupon of at least $36.00 per Note per year (≥14.40% p.a.) only when NVIDIA’s price is at or above 60% of the initial value on the relevant observation date; otherwise no coupon is paid. At maturity, if the final NVIDIA price is at or above 60% of the initial value, principal is repaid; if it is below this barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with NVIDIA’s decline 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 CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is expected between $936.52 and $966.52 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs.

If the final value is below the barrier, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% Datadog has fallen, up to a 100% loss of principal.

If they are not called and the final stock price is below 70% of the starting price, investors lose more than 30% of principal, up to a total loss. Investors do not participate in any stock upside or dividends.

If both indexes finish above their initial levels, investors receive principal plus 120% of the gain of the worst-performing index, capped at a maximum upside payment amount expected to be at least $1,192.50 per $1,000. If any index is at or below its start but both remain at or above 90.00% of initial (a 10% buffer), investors earn 120% of the absolute decline (for example, a -5.00% move in the worst index gives a +6.00% return). Below 90.00% of initial, losses match the decline beyond the 10.00% buffer, and investors can lose up to 90.00% of principal.
The notes pay no interest, do not provide dividends, are unsecured obligations of the Bank, and will not be listed on any exchange. The initial estimated value is expected to be $925.00–$965.00 per $1,000, less than the issue price, reflecting commissions, fees and hedging costs.
