The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $12,781,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due November 27, 2028, linked to the American depositary receipts of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSM).
Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $25.75 (10.30% per annum) for any determination date when the TSM ADR closing price is at or above the downside threshold price of $137.53, which is 50.00% of the $275.06 initial share price. If on any non-final determination date the closing price is at or above the $275.06 call threshold price (100.00% of the initial share price), the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus that quarter’s coupon.
At maturity, if the notes have not been called and the final share price is below the downside threshold, investors receive less than 50.00% of principal, down to zero, matching TSM’s decline on a 1-to-1 basis. Investors do not participate in any upside of TSM beyond coupons, forgo dividends, face limited liquidity, and are fully exposed to BNS’ senior unsecured credit risk, with an estimated value at pricing of $962.60 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $15,311,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, maturing on December 24, 2026. These unsecured senior notes can be automatically called starting in May 2026 if NVIDIA’s share price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price of $178.88, returning $1,000 per note plus the applicable contingent coupon.
A monthly contingent coupon of $9.875 per $1,000 (0.9875% monthly, up to 11.85% per year) is paid only when NVIDIA’s closing price on an observation date is at or above 59% of the initial price; otherwise no coupon is paid. If the notes are not called and the final price is at or above this 59% trigger, holders receive $1,000 in cash per note plus the final contingent coupon. If the final price is below the trigger, holders receive NVIDIA shares worth less than 59% of principal and no final coupon, meaning a loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment.
The notes are not listed on any exchange and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The original issue price is 100% of principal, while the bank’s initial estimated value is $965.15 per $1,000, reflecting embedded fees, commissions and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Buffered Index-Linked Notes tied to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on March 24, 2027. Each note has a principal amount of $1,000, pays no interest and is designed for investors willing to trade current income for equity-linked payoff at maturity.
At maturity, investors participate in S&P 500 price gains one-for-one up to a maximum upside payment amount expected to be at least $1,120 per $1,000. If the index is flat or down by up to 10%, the payoff is based on the absolute move, so a 5% decline would return 105% of principal. If the index falls by more than 10%, losses resume beyond a 10% buffer and investors can lose up to 90% of principal.
The notes are not insured by the CDIC or FDIC, will not be listed, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting structuring fees (including up to 0.50% to dealers) and hedging costs that may depress any secondary market price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Digital Trigger Notes linked to the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, maturing in December 2028. The notes pay no interest and are backed only by the bank’s credit. On the December 2026 call observation date, if both indices are at or above their initial levels, the notes are automatically redeemed for $1,000 plus at least a 9.00% call premium per $1,000.
If not called, the maturity payment depends on the worst-performing index. If both final index levels are at or above their initial levels, investors receive the greater of $1,400 per $1,000 or $1,000 plus leveraged upside to the weaker index. If any index finishes below its initial level but both stay at or above 85% of initial, only principal is returned. If either index ends below 85% of its initial level, repayment falls one-for-one with the loss in the weaker index, up to a total loss of principal. The bank’s initial estimated value is between $925 and $965 per $1,000, reflecting embedded costs, and the notes will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Market Linked Securities tied to the common stock of Oklo Inc. These $1,000 face amount notes pay a contingent monthly coupon at a rate of at least 36.15% per annum only if Oklo’s stock closes at or above a coupon threshold equal to 50% of the starting price on the relevant calculation day, with a memory feature that can repay previously missed coupons when the condition is later met.
From June 2026 to November 2026, if Oklo’s stock closes at or above the starting price on any monthly calculation day, the notes are automatically called for 100% of face value plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If not called, principal at maturity is fully protected only if the final stock price is at or above a downside threshold set at 50% of the starting price; below that level, repayment is reduced in proportion to the stock’s decline and can result in losing most or all of principal.
The notes do not participate in any upside of Oklo’s stock and pay no dividends. They are not listed on any exchange and all payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The Bank’s estimated value is between $894.73 and $924.73 per $1,000 note, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits. Agent discount is up to $15.75 per note, with proceeds to the Bank of $984.25 per note before hedging profits.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Market Linked Securities tied to the EURO STOXX 50® Index, with a face amount of $1,000 per security and total offering of $649,000. These notes mature on May 30, 2029 and pay no interest. At maturity, holders receive $1,000 plus 120.50% of any positive index return; if the index falls by up to the 25% buffer, investors get back the face amount.
If the index declines by more than 25%, investors have 1‑to‑1 downside exposure beyond the buffer and can lose up to 75% of principal. The starting index level is 5,528.67 and the threshold level is 75% of that. The Bank’s estimated value is $952.92 (95.292%) per $1,000 security, reflecting selling costs and hedging. The securities are not listed, carry the credit risk of Bank of Nova Scotia, and are not insured by Canadian or U.S. deposit insurance schemes.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Capped Trigger Participation Notes linked to the worst performer of the Russell 2000® and S&P 500® indices, maturing in December 2028. The notes pay no interest and all returns come at maturity based on index performance.
If both indices finish above their observation-period lows, you participate in the upside of the weaker index, capped by a maximum payment amount expected to be at least 142.50% of principal. If any index finishes below 80.00% of its initial level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss of the worst index, which can result in a full loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is expected between $925.00 and $965.00 per $1,000, reflecting fees, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate. The notes are not insured, will not be listed on an exchange, and their value is subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia and to market, liquidity and structural risks described in the risk sections.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Auto-Callable Trigger PLUS notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, each with a $1,000 stated principal amount and no interest or dividend payments. The notes may be automatically redeemed on December 17, 2026 for an early redemption payment of $1,096.70 per security if the S&P 500 closing value on the prior determination date is at or above the initial index value.
If not redeemed early and the final index value on December 6, 2027 is above the initial index value, holders receive $1,000 plus a 125% leveraged participation in the index gain. If the final index value is at or below the initial index value but at or above the 80% trigger level, investors receive only the $1,000 principal. If the final index value falls below the trigger, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline from the initial index value, and the payment can be zero.
The notes are subject to the credit risk of BNS, are not insured or bail-inable, and will not be listed on any exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The bank’s estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be $938.87–$968.87 per $1,000 note, reflecting embedded fees and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Index-Linked Notes tied to the S&P 500® Index, maturing in March 2027, that pay no interest and are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of the bank.
At maturity, each $1,000 note pays based on the index move from the December 2025 trade date to the March 2027 valuation date. If the index rises, you participate one-for-one in the price gain, but your total payment is capped at a maximum upside payment amount expected to be at least $1,082.50 per $1,000. If the index falls by up to 10%, you earn a positive return equal to the absolute loss (for example, a -5% index move produces a +5% return).
If the index declines more than 10%, you lose 1% of principal for each 1% drop beyond that buffer, up to a maximum loss of 90% of principal. The notes do not provide dividends or a total return on the S&P 500®, will not be listed on an exchange, and their value is affected by the bank’s credit. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $925 and $965 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, hedging and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $76,000 of Capped Buffered Return Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on November 27, 2030. These senior unsecured notes have a $1,000 denomination and were priced at 100% of principal, with underwriting commissions of 3.50% and net proceeds of $73,340 to the Bank. The initial estimated value is $935.65 per $1,000, below the issue price due to internal funding and structuring costs.
If the index finishes above the initial level of 6,705.12, investors receive the positive index return up to a 55.00% Maximum Return, for a maximum payment of $1,550 per $1,000 note. If the final value is between 85.00% and 100% of the initial level, investors get back $1,000. Below the 85.00% Buffer Value (5,699.35), principal is reduced 1% for each 1% further decline, with losses up to 85%. The notes pay no interest, are not insured, are not bail-inable, are subject to the Bank’s credit risk, and are not expected to have a liquid secondary market.
