The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $14,141,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to NVIDIA common stock under its Senior Note Program, Series A.

The notes may auto-call on any determination date if NVDA closes at or above the $183.16 call threshold (100% of the initial share price). If held to maturity on October 13, 2028 and NVDA is below the threshold, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with the decline and can be zero.

The securities are principal at risk, unsecured, subject to BNS credit risk, include a “memory” coupon feature, and will not be listed.

The Bank of Nova Scotia launched a preliminary 424(b)(2) pricing supplement for Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Basket‑Linked Notes due November 27, 2026. The notes are tied to an equally weighted basket of six stocks: Amazon, Coinbase, CrowdStrike, CoreWeave, IonQ, and NVIDIA. They pay no interest and all payments depend on the Bank’s credit.
At maturity, holders receive leveraged upside at a 200.00% participation rate, capped at $1,237.50 per $1,000 in principal. A 15.00% downside buffer protects principal only if the basket decline is within that threshold; below it, losses match the basket’s drop beyond the buffer, up to an 85.00% maximum loss. The initial basket level is set to 100; performance is measured from the expected trade date of October 22, 2025 to the expected valuation date of November 23, 2026.
The initial estimated value is expected between $900.00 and $930.00 per $1,000, reflecting selling and structuring costs. Underwriting commissions are listed as up to 1.93%, with proceeds to the issuer of at least 98.07%. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated, not listed, and not insured by CDIC or FDIC.
Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) priced an SEC-registered primary offering of 4,290,520 Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities linked to the S&P 500 Index at $10 per unit.

These unsecured senior notes pay no periodic interest and are subject to BNS credit risk.
The notes may be automatically called if the Index on an Observation Date is at or above the Starting Value of 6,735.11. If called, the per‑unit payment is $10.88 on the first Observation Date, $11.76 on the second, or $12.64 on the final Observation Date. If not called, the term runs to October 27, 2028, with 1‑to‑1 downside exposure below the Threshold Value, which equals the Starting Value.
The initial estimated value is $9.68 per unit, below the $10 public offering price, reflecting BNS’s internal funding rate, underwriting discount, and hedging costs. The notes are not insured by the FDIC or CDIC and will not be listed; secondary market liquidity is expected to be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $4,888,250 of Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, due October 15, 2030.
The Notes pay no coupons and may be automatically called on quarterly observation dates (callable after 12 months) if the index closing level is at or above the call threshold, set at the initial level of 2,394.595. If called, investors receive the principal plus a call return based on an 8.85% per annum call return rate. If not called, repayment of principal at maturity occurs only if the final index level is at or above the downside threshold of 1,795.946 (75.00% of the initial level); otherwise, the payoff declines one-for-one with the index loss, which can result in a total loss.
The offering is priced at $10 per Note (minimum 100 Notes). The initial estimated value is $9.60 per $10 Note. Underwriting discount is $0.25 per Note, with proceeds to the issuer of $9.75 per Note ($4,766,043.75 total). The Notes will not be listed and are subject to the credit of BNS.

The Notes auto-call if Dell’s closing level on any observation date is at or above the initial level of $150.57, returning principal plus the coupon and any unpaid “memory” coupons.
