The Preliminary Pricing Supplement describes a new structured note issuance by Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) under its Senior Note Program, Series A. The Autocallable Trigger Notes are three-year, U.S.-dollar denominated, unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) and the Russell 2000 Index (RTY). Key commercial terms are expected to be set on the trade date of 31 Jul 2025, with settlement on 5 Aug 2025 (T+3) and maturity on 5 Aug 2027.
- Automatic call: If on the single call observation date (31 Jul 2026) the closing level of each index is ≥ its initial level, the notes are redeemed early at principal + a ≥13.15 % call premium.
- Upside at maturity: If not called and the final level of both indices exceeds the initial level, investors receive 250 % participation on the least-performing index.
- Principal protection: None. If the least-performing index closes <75 % of its initial level on the valuation date (2 Aug 2027), investors lose 1 % of principal for every 1 % decline, up to 100 % loss.
- Trigger level: 75 % of each index’s initial level.
- Initial estimated value: BNS expects $900–$940 per $1,000 note, reflecting dealer fees (up to 0.80 %), hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate; this is below the 100 % issue price.
- Liquidity & listing: The notes will not be listed. Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC may act as market-makers but are not obligated to do so.
- Credit considerations: Payments rely solely on BNS’s credit; the securities are not CDIC or FDIC insured and rank pari passu with other senior unsecured debt.
For BNS, the transaction represents routine structured-note funding with limited balance-sheet impact; for investors, it offers a short-dated, equity-linked payoff profile combining a capped autocall yield, leveraged upside and significant downside risk should either equity benchmark fall ≥25 % over the term.
