The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $11,328,700 of Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to an equally weighted basket of 34 large-cap equities such as Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Amazon, maturing on November 29, 2030.
Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000. The notes do not pay interest. If on the December 2, 2026 observation date the basket level is at or above the autocall barrier of 100% of the initial basket level, the notes are automatically called and pay a fixed 12.00% call return ($11.20 per Security), with no further payments.
If not called, at maturity investors receive: geared upside of 1.50x any positive basket return; a full principal return if the final basket level is at or above the 75.00% downside threshold; or a loss matching the basket’s negative return if the final level is below the threshold, up to a 100% loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is $9.67 per $10 Security, below the issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs. The notes are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, are not bail-inable, will not be listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $23,129,220 of Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on November 27, 2030. Each Security has a $10 principal amount and does not pay interest.
The notes may be automatically called on December 2, 2026 if the index is at or above the initial level of 2,465.979. In that case, holders receive the call price of $11.20 per Security, reflecting a 12.00% call return, and the investment ends.
If not called, at maturity investors receive $10 plus any positive index return multiplied by 1.45. If the final index level is at or above the 75.00% downside threshold of 1,849.484 and the return is zero or negative, principal is repaid. If the final level is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the index loss, and the entire principal can be lost.
The Securities are subject to BNS credit risk, will not be listed on an exchange, and may have limited liquidity. The initial estimated value is $9.67 per $10 Security, below the issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs. Underwriting discounts total $578,230.50, with net proceeds to BNS of $22,550,989.50.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,107,000 of Capped Barrier Return Enhanced Notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on December 31, 2026. Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and provides 200% participation in any positive index performance, capped at a 16.60% maximum return, so the most an investor can receive at maturity is $1,166 per $1,000 Note.
If the final index level is at or below the initial level but at or above the barrier of 2,096.082 (85% of the initial value of 2,465.979), investors receive back their principal. If the final level falls below the barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with index losses and investors can lose up to 100% of principal.
The Notes pay no interest or coupons, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Bank, and are not insured by CDIC or FDIC. They will not be listed on any exchange. The initial estimated value is $974.26 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting structuring, hedging and distribution costs, including a 2.00% underwriting commission.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the TOPIX index, in a $6,742,760 offering at $10 per Security. The notes run for about five years and may be automatically called after roughly one year if TOPIX on the observation date is at or above the initial level of 3,290.89, paying a call price of $11.50 per Security based on a 15.00% call return rate.
If not called and TOPIX finishes above its initial level, investors receive the principal plus the index gain multiplied by 2.25x upside gearing. If TOPIX is flat or down but at or above the downside threshold of 2,468.17 (75.00% of the initial level), principal is repaid. If TOPIX ends below that threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the index loss, up to a total loss of principal.
The Securities pay no interest, do not provide dividends, are not listed, and have limited expected liquidity. They are senior unsecured debt of BNS, not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The initial estimated value is $9.45 per $10 Security, below the issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities, senior unsecured notes linked to Eli Lilly common stock, maturing on or about December 8, 2028. Each $1,000 security can pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $27.125, equivalent to 10.85% per annum, for any determination date when Eli Lilly’s closing price is at least 65% of the initial share price.
If on any non-final observation date Eli Lilly closes at or above 100% of the initial share price, the notes are automatically called and pay back the $1,000 principal plus that period’s coupon, with no further payments. If held to maturity and the final share price is below 65% of the initial share price, repayment of principal is reduced 1-to-1 with the stock’s decline and may be zero, so investors can lose their entire investment.
Holders forgo dividends and any upside beyond received coupons, face full credit risk of BNS, and the securities will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $935.06 and $965.06 per $1,000 note, less than the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering principal-at-risk, senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), maturing on or about December 8, 2028.
Investors may receive a contingent quarterly coupon of $34.30 per $1,000 note (equivalent to 13.72% per annum) for each determination date on which Broadcom’s closing price is at least 50% of the initial share price, supported by a “memory” feature that can pay previously missed coupons when the condition is later met. The notes are automatically called if, on any non-final determination date, Broadcom’s price is at least 100% of the initial share price, returning principal plus the due coupon and any unpaid coupons.
If the notes are not called and Broadcom’s final share price is below 50% of the initial share price, repayment at maturity is reduced 1-for-1 with Broadcom’s decline and can fall below 50% of principal, down to zero. Investors do not participate in any stock upside, forgo dividends, face limited liquidity, and are fully exposed to BNS credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to range from $934.31 to $964.31 per $1,000 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $7,628,000 of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index, maturing on November 27, 2030. The notes pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 8.03% (about $0.2008 per $10 note per period) only when on an observation date each index is at or above its coupon barrier, set at 70% of its initial level.
The notes may be automatically called quarterly after six months if both indices are at or above their initial levels, in which case investors receive principal plus the applicable coupon and the investment ends. If not called and, at maturity, both indices are at or above their downside thresholds (60% of initial levels), principal is repaid; otherwise, principal is reduced in line with the loss of the worst-performing index, up to a total loss. The initial estimated value is $9.52 per $10 note, the notes are unsecured, not listed, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured Capped Buffer GEARS notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, with a total offering of $4,332,230. Each Security has a $10 principal amount, a term of about two years, and provides 2.0x geared upside to positive index returns, capped at a maximum gain of 18.55% (maximum payment of $11.855 per Security).
The notes offer a 10% downside buffer: if the index decline at maturity is within 10%, investors receive full principal; below the downside threshold at 90% of the initial level, losses match further index declines and investors can lose almost all of their investment. The Securities pay no interest, are subject to BNS credit risk, are not insured or bail-inable, and may have limited or no secondary market. The initial estimated value is $9.72 per $10, less than the issue price due to fees, funding and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Dual Directional Capped Buffered Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, issued at 100% of a $1,000 principal amount per note and sold in minimum investments of $10,000. The notes provide upside exposure to the index if its final level is at or above the initial level, with a maximum upside return of at least 20.90%. If the index declines but remains at or above 85.00% of the initial level, investors receive a positive return equal to the absolute decline. Below the 15% buffer, losses are magnified: holders lose about 1.1765% of principal for every 1% additional drop and can lose the entire investment.
The notes pay no interest, all payments are made at maturity in cash, and they are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations subject to the credit risk of the Bank. They will not be listed on any exchange, and liquidity may be limited. Underwriting commissions are 1.50%, so proceeds to the Bank are 98.50% of principal, and the initial estimated value is expected between $946.77 and $976.77 per $1,000 note, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $10,402,600 of Capped Buffer GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the S&P 500® Index and maturing on November 30, 2027. Each Security has a $10 principal amount and offers 2x leveraged exposure to any positive index return, but gains are capped at a 22.50% maximum gain, or $12.25 per Security.
If the index return is zero or negative but the final level stays at or above the downside threshold of 6,089.29 (90% of the 6,765.88 initial level), investors receive only their $10 principal. If the index ends below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced based on losses beyond the 10% buffer, and investors can lose almost all of their investment. The notes pay no interest, are not insured or bail-inable, will not be listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness.
