The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $2,666,000 of Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes, due December 23, 2027, linked to the worst performer between the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF and the EURO STOXX 50 Index. The notes pay no interest and all return comes from the final cash payment at maturity.
For each $1,000 note, if both reference assets finish above their initial levels, investors receive $1,000 plus 158% of the gain of the worst-performing asset. If any asset is at or below its initial level but both are at least 90% of initial, investors receive only the $1,000 principal. If any asset finishes below 90% of its initial level, principal is reduced one-for-one beyond the 10% buffer, with up to 90% loss of principal possible. The notes are unsecured obligations of the bank, not listed on an exchange, and had an initial estimated value of $969.11 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, funding and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $7,475,000 of senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of GE Vernova Inc. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and an issue price of $1,000.
Investors may receive a contingent quarterly coupon of $43.125 per security (equivalent to 17.25% per annum) for any determination date on which GE Vernova’s closing price is at least 70% of the initial share price of $658.28. The notes are automatically called if the stock closes at or above the 100% call threshold of $658.28 on any non-final determination date, returning principal plus the due coupon(s).
If the notes are not called and the final share price is below 70% of the initial share price, repayment of principal is reduced 1-to-1 with the stock decline and can be zero, so investors can lose their entire investment. Payments depend on BNS’s credit, the securities are not listed, and the initial estimated value on the pricing date is $968.10 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $11,370,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 22, 2028, linked to the American depositary receipts of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and can pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $33.70 per security (equivalent to 13.48% per annum) for any determination date when the ADR’s closing price is at or above 70% of the initial share price of $288.95.
The notes may be automatically called on any determination date before maturity if the closing price is at or above 100% of the initial share price, returning principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons under the memory feature. If held to maturity and the final share price is at or above the 70% downside threshold of $202.265, investors receive principal plus due coupons; if it is below that level, repayment is reduced in line with the share performance and can be as low as zero.
The securities are senior unsecured debt of BNS, carry full principal-at-risk, do not pay dividends or participate in stock upside, and will not be listed on any exchange. The estimated value on the pricing date is $976.00 per $1,000, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $25,855,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 22, 2028, linked to the common stock of Netflix, Inc. These senior unsecured notes can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $32.10 per $1,000 (12.84% per annum) for each determination date on which Netflix’s closing price is at or above 65% of the $94.39 initial share price.
If on any non-final determination date Netflix’s price is at or above 100% of the initial share price, the notes are automatically redeemed at $1,000 plus the applicable coupon, and no further payments are made. If the notes are not called and the final share price is at or above 65% of the initial share price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon at maturity. If the final share price is below 65% of the initial level, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with the share decline, and the maturity payment can be far below principal, down to zero. Investors do not receive dividends or any upside participation in Netflix stock, and all payments are subject to BNS credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is $969.10 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting fees and funding costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $24,651,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 22, 2028, linked to Alphabet Inc. Class A common stock. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and may pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $25.60 per security, equivalent to 10.24% per annum, when Alphabet’s closing price on a determination date is at or above 60% of the initial share price of $307.16, a downside threshold of $184.296.
If on any non-final determination date Alphabet’s price is at or above the call threshold of 100% of the initial share price, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus that period’s coupon, and no further payments are made. If the notes are not called and the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment of principal is reduced 1‑for‑1 with Alphabet’s decline from the initial share price, and the payment at maturity can be substantially less than 60% of principal, down to zero. The securities are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, are not listed, and carried an estimated value on the pricing date of $968.50 per $1,000, below the issue price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $21,652,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 22, 2028 linked to the common stock of GE Vernova Inc. These senior unsecured notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $28.375 per $1,000 (equivalent to 11.35% per annum) for any determination date on which the GE Vernova closing price is at or above the downside threshold of $329.14, or 50% of the $658.28 initial share price, with a “memory” feature that can catch up missed coupons.
If on any non-final determination date the stock is at or above the call threshold of $658.28, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon (and any unpaid coupons). If held to maturity and the final share price is below the downside threshold, investors receive the stated principal multiplied by the share performance factor, exposing them 1-to-1 to GE Vernova’s decline and potentially losing their entire investment. Investors do not participate in any stock upside beyond coupons and forgo dividends.
All payments depend on BNS’s credit; the notes are not insured or secured. The issue price is $1,000 per note, while the estimated value on the pricing date is $957.60, and the securities are not expected to be listed, with any secondary liquidity dependent on the dealer.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $537,000 of Buffered Index‑Linked Notes tied to the S&P 500 Index, maturing March 24, 2027. The notes have a $1,000 denomination, no interest payments and are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Bank. At maturity, investors receive upside equal to the S&P 500 price return up to a maximum payment of $1,120 per $1,000, capping gains at 12%.
If the index is flat or down by up to 10%, the payoff equals the absolute index return, giving positive returns on modest declines. Below a 10% decline, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% drop beyond that buffer, with up to 90% of principal at risk. The notes do not pay dividends or include total return. The initial estimated value is $983.61 per $1,000, below the issue price, and underwriting commissions of 0.50% reduce net proceeds to $534,315.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $224,000 of Digital Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing December 23, 2027. These unsecured senior notes pay no interest and at maturity return either the principal or a capped digital payoff.
For each $1,000 note, investors receive $1,107.50 if on the valuation date both indices are at or above their initial levels of 2,529.425 (Russell 2000) and 6,834.50 (S&P 500). If either index finishes below its initial level, the payout is limited to $1,000, so upside is capped while downside is limited to loss of time value and credit risk. The notes will not be listed, the initial estimated value is $976.64 per $1,000, and investors are exposed to the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia and to limited liquidity and complex tax treatment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $7,151,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to NVIDIA Corporation common stock, maturing June 24, 2027. The notes are issued in $1,000 denominations at 100% of principal and pay a monthly contingent coupon of $9.209 per $1,000 (0.9209% per month, up to about 11.05% per year) only when NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above 53.00% of the initial price of $180.99 on an observation date.
Starting in June 2026, the notes are automatically called if NVIDIA closes at or above the $180.99 initial price on a call observation date, returning $1,000 plus the applicable coupon, with no further payments. If the notes are not called and the final price on June 21, 2027 is at least 53.00% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon.
If the final price is below 53.00% of the initial price, investors receive NVIDIA shares equal to $1,000 divided by $180.99 (or cash if less than one share), whose value will be under 53.00% of principal, meaning a substantial or total loss is possible. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured, not listed on any exchange, and had an initial estimated value of $972.48 per $1,000, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $57,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing September 23, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and pays no interest. At maturity, if the index is above the initial level of 2,529.425, holders earn 150% of the index gain, but the payout is capped at $1,222.50 per $1,000.
If the index is flat or down by up to 10%, investors receive their $1,000 principal. If it falls by more than 10%, principal is reduced dollar‑for‑dollar beyond that buffer, with up to 90% loss possible. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the Bank, are not insured by any deposit insurer, and will not be listed on an exchange.
The initial estimated value is $972.32 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and structuring costs. Underwriting commissions are 0.70%, so net proceeds to the Bank are $56,601 on the $57,000 aggregate principal amount.
