The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering 839,142 units of autocallable notes with a $10 principal amount each, linked to the Global X Uranium ETF.
The notes can be automatically called on five annual observation dates if the ETF price is at or above the $49 starting value, paying call amounts from $11.461 per unit on the first date up to $17.305 on the final date, equal to call premiums of 14.61% to 73.05% over principal. If the notes are not called and the ETF ends at or above the $41.65 threshold (85% of the starting value), investors receive their $10 principal back; below that level, losses match the ETF decline beyond the 15% buffer, with up to 85% of principal at risk.
The notes pay no periodic interest, have limited secondary market liquidity, and all payments depend on BNS credit. The public offering price is $10 per unit, including a $0.20 underwriting discount and a $0.05 hedging-related charge, while the initial estimated value is $9.05 per unit, reflecting selling costs and the bank’s internal funding rate. The structure also embeds concentrated exposure to the uranium sector, foreign currency and emerging-market risks, and complex U.S. and Canadian tax treatment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing 2,936,764 senior unsecured Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities® linked to the S&P 500® Index, each with a $10 principal amount, for a total public offering price of $29,352,640.00. The notes can be automatically called on Observation Dates if the Index is at or above the Starting Value of 6,901.00, paying preset Call Amounts from $10.677 (a 6.77% Call Premium) up to $14.062 (a 40.62% Call Premium) per unit.
If the notes are not called, investors receive full principal at maturity only if the Index has not fallen more than 15.00% below the Starting Value; below this Threshold Value of 5,865.85, repayment is reduced 1-to-1, with up to 85.00% of principal at risk. The notes pay no periodic interest, do not provide dividends, are not listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The initial estimated value is $9.63 per unit, less than the $10.00 public offering price, reflecting BNS’s internal funding rate, a $0.20 per unit underwriting discount and a $0.05 per unit hedging-related charge.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering 5,810,752 Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities linked to the S&P 500 Index, at $10 principal amount per unit, maturing January 2, 2029.

If never called and the Ending Value is below the Threshold Value (equal to the Starting Value), repayment of principal is reduced 1-to-1 with the Index decline, up to a full loss of the $10 principal.
The notes pay no periodic interest, are unsecured senior obligations of BNS, and are not insured by the CDIC or FDIC. The initial estimated value is $9.69 per unit, below the $10 public offering price, reflecting BNS’s internal funding rate, a $0.20 underwriting discount and a $0.05 per-unit hedging-related charge, and secondary market liquidity is expected to be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the worst performer of the SPDR S&P Bank ETF (KBE) and the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), maturing around December 20, 2030.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $4.536 million of S&P 500®-linked Capped Trigger GEARS, senior unsecured notes that do not pay interest and expose holders to both equity and issuer credit risk.
