The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering 3,308,511 units of Autocallable Leveraged Index Return Notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, each with a $10.00 principal amount, for a total public offering price of $33,067,756.00. Before expenses, proceeds to BNS are $32,423,407.80 after a $0.20 per-unit underwriting discount and a $0.05 per-unit hedging-related charge.
The notes have a term of about three years and may be automatically called after roughly one year at $11.00 per unit, delivering a 10.00% return if the index is at or above its starting level of 2,507.867 on the Observation Date. If not called, holders receive 201.00% leveraged upside on index gains at maturity, but take 1-to-1 losses on any decline, with up to 100.00% of principal at risk. The initial estimated value is $9.66 per unit, there are no periodic interest payments, liquidity is expected to be limited, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities® linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index®, with 1,476,473 notes at a principal amount of $10 per unit, for a total public offering price of $14,749,730. These senior unsecured notes may be automatically called on annual observation dates if the Index is at or above the starting level of 25,019.37, paying call amounts that rise from $10.77 on the first observation date up to $14.62 on the final one.
If the notes are not called, they mature in about six years. At maturity, investors receive full principal back if the Index has not fallen more than 15% from the starting value; below that threshold, losses match the Index decline beyond 15%, with up to 85% of principal at risk. The initial estimated value is $9.57 per unit, below the $10 public offering price, reflecting underwriting discounts of $0.20 per unit, a $0.05 hedging-related charge, and BNS’s internal funding rate. The notes pay no interest, are not listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $369,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, maturing on September 23, 2027. The notes provide 150% participation in any positive index return, capped at a maximum payment of $1,191 per $1,000 of principal, which corresponds to a cap at an index gain of about 12.7333%.
A 10% downside buffer protects principal only if the index decline from the initial level of 2,507.867 is not greater than 10%; below that, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% additional index loss, up to a 90% loss. The notes pay no interest, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Bank, and are not insured by Canadian or U.S. deposit insurers. The original issue price is 100% of principal, with underwriting commissions of 2.20%, and the initial estimated value is $959.38 per $1,000, reflecting internal funding and structuring costs that may reduce secondary market value.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $468,000 of Autocallable Digital Trigger Notes linked to the worst performer of the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, maturing December 21, 2028. The notes pay no interest and are senior unsecured obligations of the Bank.
The notes may be automatically called on December 18, 2026 if both indexes are at or above their initial levels of 2,507.867 (Russell 2000) and 6,774.76 (S&P 500). If called, investors receive $1,090 per $1,000 principal, reflecting a 9.00% call premium.
If not called, the maturity payoff depends on the worst-performing index. If both final levels are at or above their initial levels, investors receive at least $1,400 per $1,000, with additional upside if the worst index gain exceeds 40%. If any index finishes below its initial level but at or above 85% of it, investors receive only principal back. If any index ends below 85% of its initial level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss in the worst index, down to total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is $933.86 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, funding and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $170,000 in Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the shares of the VanEck Semiconductor ETF, maturing on March 23, 2027. These unsecured senior notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon of 2.5625% (up to 10.25% per annum) only if, on an observation date, the ETF’s closing price is at or above 70.00% of the initial price of $347.25.
The notes may be automatically called starting in June 2026 if the ETF closes at or above the initial price, in which case investors receive $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent coupon and no further payments. If the notes are not called and the final price is at least 70.00% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final contingent coupon.
If the final price is below 70.00% of the initial price, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the ETF’s decline, and investors can lose up to their entire principal and receive no coupon. The initial estimated value is $958.97 per $1,000 principal amount, below the 100% issue price, and the notes are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia with no listing on a securities exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Buffered Return Enhanced Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on December 30, 2027, with a minimum investment of $10,000. The notes pay no interest and all payments depend on the Bank’s credit.
The notes are automatically called on January 8, 2027 if the S&P 500 closing value is at or above its initial level, returning the $1,000 principal plus a $95 (9.50%) call premium per note. If they are not called and the index ends above its initial level at maturity, investors earn at least 139.11% of the index’s positive price return.
If at maturity the index is between 90% and 100% of its initial level, investors receive only their principal back. Below 90%, principal loss is magnified: about 1.1111% loss for each additional 1% drop, up to a total loss. The initial estimated value is expected between $951.72 and $981.72 per $1,000, reflecting structuring and hedging costs. The notes are not insured by CDIC or FDIC and will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited.

If both indexes finish above their initial levels, investors earn 120% of the gain of the weaker index, capped at a maximum payment of $1,182.50 per $1,000. If any index is down but not below 90% of its initial level, investors gain 120% of the absolute loss, turning moderate declines into positive returns. If any index falls below 90% of its initial level, principal is reduced one-for-one beyond that buffer, with up to a 90% loss of principal.
The notes are unsecured senior obligations subject to the Bank’s credit risk, are not insured, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is $952.55 per $1,000, below the issue price, and dealer commissions and hedging costs may depress secondary market prices and liquidity.

The initial estimated value is $952.77 per $1,000, below the issue price, and any payment depends on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $752,000 of Buffered Index-Linked Notes tied to the S&P 500 Index, maturing on March 23, 2027. The notes pay no interest and all return comes from the index performance between the December 18, 2025 trade date and the March 18, 2027 valuation date.
At maturity, investors get equity-like exposure with a 10% downside buffer and a capped upside. Gains match the index return but are limited to a maximum payment of $1,082.50 per $1,000 principal (108.25%). If the index falls up to 10%, investors gain the same amount in absolute terms. If it falls more than 10%, losses resume on a 1-for-1 basis beyond the buffer, up to a 90% loss of principal.

The initial estimated value is between $9.45 and $9.75 per $10 Note, the Notes are not listed, may have limited liquidity, pay no dividends from Microsoft, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of Bank of Nova Scotia.
