The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $36,155,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 15, 2028, linked to the common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc. These senior unsecured notes can pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $45.10 per $1,000 (equivalent to 18.04% per annum) for any determination date when Palantir’s closing price is at least 50.00% of the initial share price of $183.57, i.e., at or above the downside threshold of $91.785, with missed coupons potentially paid later under a “memory” feature.
If on any non-final determination date the stock closes at or above the call threshold price of $183.57, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons, ending further payments. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, investors receive the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor, which can be less than 50% of principal and as low as zero, meaning investors may lose their entire investment. The securities are not principal-protected, do not participate in any stock upside beyond coupons, pay no dividends, will not be listed on an exchange, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of BNS. The initial estimated value on the pricing date is $965.11 per $1,000 note, lower than the issue price, reflecting structuring and distribution costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $25,652,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to Advanced Micro Devices common stock. These senior unsecured notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $35.25 per $1,000 (14.10% per annum) only when AMD’s closing price on a determination date is at or above the downside threshold of $105.39, which is 50.00% of the $210.78 initial share price. If AMD closes at or above the $210.78 call threshold on any non-final determination date, the notes are automatically redeemed for $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons under the memory feature.
If the notes are not called and AMD’s final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment of principal is reduced 1-to-1 with AMD’s decline from the initial price, and the maturity payment can be less than 50.00% of principal and may be zero. Investors do not participate in any upside of AMD beyond received coupons, the notes will not be listed, and all payments are subject to BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is $965.40 per $1,000 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $24.534 million of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 15, 2028, linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc.
The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $37.125 per $1,000 (14.85% per annum) for each determination date on which Tesla’s closing price is at or above the downside threshold of $229.48 (50.00% of the $458.96 initial share price). If on any non-final determination date Tesla closes at or above the call threshold of $458.96, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the current coupon and any unpaid “memory” coupons.
If the notes are not called and Tesla’s final share price is below the downside threshold, investors receive less than 50% of principal, on a 1-to-1 basis with the stock’s decline, and could lose their entire investment. Investors do not participate in any stock upside beyond coupons, forgo dividends, face credit risk of BNS, limited liquidity, and an initial estimated value of $967.98 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees and funding costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® Index, S&P 500® Index and EURO STOXX 50® Index, with a term of about 10 years and a minimum investment of 100 Notes at $10 per Note. Investors may receive quarterly contingent coupons at an annual rate of 7.50% to 7.70% only if, on each observation date, every index closes at or above 75% of its initial level, which is both the coupon barrier and downside threshold.
The Notes are automatically called if, on any quarterly observation date after 12 months, all three indices are at or above their initial levels, in which case investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and the Notes terminate early. If the Notes are not called and, at maturity, any index finishes below its downside threshold, the maturity payment is reduced one-for-one with the decline of the worst index, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, not insured or bail-inable, and their initial estimated value of $8.73–$9.03 per $10 is lower than the issue price, highlighting structural costs and potential secondary-market discounts.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $14,096,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due December 17, 2026, linked to Amazon.com, Inc. common stock. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and can pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $30.10 per security (equivalent to 12.04% per annum) if Amazon’s closing price on the relevant determination date is at or above the downside threshold of $158.333, which is 70% of the initial share price of $226.19. If on any non-final determination date the closing price is at or above the call threshold price of $226.19, the notes are automatically redeemed for $1,000 plus the coupon, and no further payments are made.
If the notes are not called and the final share price on the December 14, 2026 determination date is at or above the downside threshold, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, the maturity payment is $1,000 multiplied by the share performance factor, exposing investors 1-to-1 to the decline in Amazon’s price and potentially reducing the payment to zero. Investors do not receive dividends or participate in any upside beyond coupons and bear full issuer credit risk of BNS. The notes are not listed, have limited liquidity, and BNS’ estimated value on the pricing date is $978.40 per $1,000 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked securities tied to the worst performer among Broadcom, Alphabet Class A, NVIDIA and Shopify, maturing in December 2028. The notes pay a contingent coupon of 14.75% per annum, credited monthly only when the lowest-performing stock on each calculation day closes at or above 40% of its starting price, with a memory feature for previously missed coupons.
Beginning in June 2026, the notes are auto-callable monthly if the lowest-performing stock is at or above its starting price, returning the $1,000 face amount plus due coupons. If not called, principal is protected at maturity only if the lowest-performing stock ends at or above 40% of its starting price; otherwise, investors lose more than 60% and up to all of principal based on that stock’s decline. The estimated value is $944.99 per $1,000, the securities are not listed, and all payments depend on the credit of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering digital notes linked to the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF, maturing on February 3, 2028. These unsecured senior notes pay no interest; your result depends entirely on the ETF’s price on the February 1, 2028 valuation date versus the $87.34 initial price.
If the final price is at least 90.00% of the initial price, you receive a fixed maximum payment of $1,160.50 per $1,000 principal (a 16.05% total gain). If the ETF falls more than 10% below the initial price, your payoff drops linearly, with a buffer rate of about 111.11%, and you can lose up to your entire principal.
The notes’ initial estimated value is $944.46–$974.46 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting dealer compensation, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate. Underwriting commissions are 1.57%, proceeds to the bank are 98.43%, and the notes will not be listed on any exchange. All payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Auto-Callable Trigger PLUS, principal-at-risk notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index®, maturing on or about January 4, 2029. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and does not pay interest or dividends.
The notes are automatically redeemed if, on the determination date before the final one, the index closing value is at least the initial index value, paying an early redemption amount of $1,096.90 per security. If not called and the final index value is above the initial value, investors receive $1,000 plus 150.00% of the index’s positive return. If the final index value is at or below the initial value but at or above the trigger level of 80% of the initial value, repayment is $1,000.
If the final index value is below the trigger level, repayment is $1,000 plus the index return, so investors lose 1% for every 1% index decline and could lose their entire investment. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, are not listed, and have an estimated value on the pricing date between $934.14 and $964.14 per $1,000, reflecting embedded costs and hedging.

Investors may receive a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 7.50% to 7.70% (paid quarterly) only if on an observation date the closing level of each index is at or above its coupon barrier, set at 75% of its initial level. The notes are automatically called if all three indices are at or above their initial levels on an observation date, returning principal plus the applicable coupon.
If the notes are not called and at maturity any index finishes below its downside threshold (also 75% of initial), the redemption amount is reduced one-for-one with the worst index’s decline, and investors can lose up to their entire principal. The initial estimated value is expected to be $8.73–$9.03 per $10 note, below the $10 issue price, and the notes will not be listed, with any secondary liquidity dependent on the dealer. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk.

If the notes are not called and the final index level is at or above a downside threshold set at 75% of the initial level, investors receive only their $10 principal per note. If the final level is below this threshold, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the index decline, and investors can lose their entire investment. The notes pay no interest or dividends, have limited or no secondary market liquidity, an initial estimated value of $9.246–$9.546 per $10 note, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of BNS.
