The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $272,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes with Memory Coupon linked to the common stock of Adobe, Johnson & Johnson and Merck. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $8.10 per $1,000 note (9.72% per annum) on specified observation dates only if the closing value of each stock is at or above 50% of its initial level.
The notes may be automatically called if, on any call observation date, each stock is at or above its initial value, in which case holders receive $1,000 per note plus due and unpaid contingent coupons. If not called and the worst-performing stock finishes below 50% of its initial value at maturity, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in that stock, up to a total loss of principal. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Bank, not insured by any deposit insurance scheme and will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $493,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due December 29, 2028, linked to the common stock of Oracle Corporation. Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and was priced at 100% of principal, with proceeds to the bank of 98% after underwriting discounts.
The Notes can be automatically called on quarterly observation dates if Oracle’s closing price is at or above the Initial Value of $195.34, returning principal plus a contingent coupon. If not called, investors receive a 13.90% per annum contingent coupon (paid quarterly as $34.75 per Note) only when Oracle’s closing value is at or above the barrier of $97.67, equal to 50% of the Initial Value. At maturity, if the final value is below the barrier, the payoff is reduced one-for-one with Oracle’s decline, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal.
The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are subject to the bank’s credit risk, will not be listed on any exchange, and may have limited or no secondary market. The initial estimated value is $962.65 per $1,000, lower than the issue price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $550,000 of Capped Buffered Return Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, maturing on December 27, 2030. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligations of the Bank and all payments depend on its credit.
Each $1,000 note offers upside linked to the S&P 500 price return: if the index rises, investors receive the positive performance, capped at a Maximum Return of 56.00% (maximum payment of $1,560 per $1,000). A 15% buffer protects against moderate declines; if the index finishes at or above 85% of its initial level, investors receive back $1,000. Below that buffer, principal is reduced 1% for each additional 1% decline, with up to an 85% loss of principal.
The notes pay no interest, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on any exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The initial estimated value is $939.36 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting fees, hedging and the Bank’s internal funding rate. Underwriting commissions are 3.50% ($19,250), leaving proceeds to the Bank of $530,750.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured structured notes linked to the common stock of NIKE, Inc., maturing on December 31, 2026. These Buffered Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities pay a contingent monthly coupon of $12.80 per $1,000 (equivalent to 15.36% per annum) for each determination date on which NIKE’s closing price is at or above the downside threshold price of $48.739, equal to 85% of the initial share price of $57.34. Missed coupons may be paid later under a “memory” feature if the threshold is met on a subsequent date.
The notes are auto-callable: if NIKE’s closing price on any non-final determination date is at or above the call threshold price of $57.34, they are redeemed early at par plus the relevant coupon and any unpaid coupons. At maturity, if the notes have not been called and NIKE is at or above the downside threshold, investors receive par plus the final and any unpaid coupons. If NIKE finishes below the downside threshold, repayment is based on a leveraged downside formula, with investors losing about 1.1765% of principal for every 1% NIKE falls below the threshold, up to a total loss of principal.
The securities do not guarantee principal, provide no participation in stock upside, pay no dividends, will not be listed, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of BNS. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $964.02 and $994.02 per $1,000 note, below the issue price.
