The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $27,894,000 of senior unsecured digital notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on March 22, 2028. The notes pay no interest and all value comes from the index level on the valuation date of March 20, 2028.
For each $1,000 note, if the final index level is at least 85.00% of the initial level of 6,538.76, holders receive a fixed $1,202.50, capping upside even if the index rises more. If the index falls more than 15% from the initial level, repayment drops by about 1.1765% for every 1% decline beyond that, up to a total loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is $988.70 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs. The notes are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, will not be listed on an exchange, and secondary market liquidity, if any, would be provided mainly by an affiliate, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $12,000,000 of Buffered Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities, Series A, linked to the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (SPY) and maturing on November 25, 2026. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and can pay a contingent monthly coupon of $10.50, equivalent to 12.60% per annum, for any determination date on which SPY closes at or above 90% of the $662.63 initial share price (the $596.367 downside threshold).
If on a non-final determination date SPY closes at or above the 100% call threshold price of $662.63, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons under the memory feature. If held to maturity and SPY finishes below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced by about 1.1111% for every 1% SPY falls below that level, and principal can be fully lost.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, are not insured or bail-inable, will not be listed on any exchange, and had an estimated value on the pricing date of $996 per $1,000 issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs and BNS’ internal funding rate.

If the index is flat, the payout is $1,000. If the index is below the initial level, losses match the index decline point-for-point, down to a total loss of principal.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia and are not insured by CDIC or FDIC and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $954.32 and $984.32 per $1,000, below the 100% original issue price, reflecting selling commissions of $10.60 per $1,000 and hedging and structuring costs.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Dell Technologies Inc., maturing on June 2, 2027. These unsecured senior notes pay a contingent coupon only when Dell’s closing price on an observation date is at or above 50.00% of the initial price.

If the final price is below 50.00%, investors receive shares of Dell worth less than 50% of principal (or cash equivalent if under one share), resulting in a substantial or total loss.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured, unsubordinated structured notes linked to the price return of the Russell 2000® Index. The notes can be automatically called after about one year if the index closes at or above its initial level, in which case holders receive the $1,000 principal plus a fixed call premium of $120 (12%) and the notes terminate.

The notes pay no interest or dividends, do not provide ownership in index constituents, and will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The initial estimated value is expected to be $936.66–$966.66 per $1,000, reflecting fees, hedging costs and the issuer’s internal funding rate, and underwriting commissions may be up to 2.50%. All payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
