The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,468,000 of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. The Notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon at an annual rate of 11.25% only if Broadcom’s share price on each observation date is at or above the coupon barrier of $179.97, which is 50% of the initial level of $359.93. If the stock is at or above the initial level on any observation date, the Notes are automatically called and investors receive $10 per Note plus the applicable coupon.
If the Notes are not called and Broadcom’s final share price on the December 14, 2026 valuation date is at or above the $179.97 downside threshold, investors receive their $10 principal back at maturity. If the final level is below the downside threshold, the maturity payment is reduced one-for-one with Broadcom’s percentage decline, and investors can lose their entire investment. The Notes are unsecured obligations of BNS, will not be listed on any exchange, and the initial estimated value of $9.77 per $10 Note is below the $10 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $1,290,000 of Buffered Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities with Memory Coupon and Downside Leverage linked to Micron Technology common stock, maturing on December 17, 2029. The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $34.375 per $1,000 (13.75% per annum) for any determination date when Micron’s closing price is at or above the downside threshold of $120.57, equal to 50% of the $241.14 initial share price, with missed coupons potentially paid later under a memory feature.
The securities are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons if Micron closes at or above $241.14 on any non-final determination date. If held to maturity and the final share price is below $120.57, investors receive a cash value that causes a 2.00% loss for every 1% drop below the threshold, up to a complete loss of principal. Payments depend on BNS’s credit, the securities are not insured or principal-protected, and they will not be listed on any exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $500,000 of digital notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc., maturing on January 13, 2027. These senior unsecured notes pay no interest and all returns come at maturity.
For each $1,000 note, if Broadcom’s final stock price on the January 11, 2027 valuation date is at least 85.00% of the $406.29 initial price, holders receive a fixed $1,267.50, a capped gain of 26.75%. If the final price is more than 15.00% below the initial price, repayment drops below principal, with losses of about 1.1765% for every additional 1% decline, up to a total loss.
The initial estimated value is $982.35 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting the bank’s internal funding rate, hedging costs and a 1.09% selling concession. The notes are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, will not be listed on an exchange, and their value and any payment depend on Broadcom’s share performance and the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to an unequally weighted basket of five equity indices: EURO STOXX 50 (40%), Nikkei 225 (25%), FTSE 100 (17.5%), Swiss Market Index (10%) and S&P/ASX 200 (7.5%). Each Security has a $10 principal amount and a term of about five years, maturing on or about December 31, 2030.
The notes may be automatically called on January 4, 2027 if the basket level is at or above the autocall barrier, set at 100% of the initial basket level. In that case, investors receive the call price of $11.40 per Security, reflecting a 14.00% call return, and the investment ends early.
If not called, the maturity payout depends on the basket’s performance. With a positive basket return, the payoff is boosted by upside gearing in a range of 1.40–1.59. If the basket is flat or down but above the downside threshold of 75% of the initial basket level, principal is repaid. If the basket finishes below that threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the basket loss, up to a total loss of principal. The Securities pay no interest, offer no dividends, may have limited liquidity, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness.

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.
