The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities® linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index® (NDX). Each note has a $10 principal and may run up to approximately six years unless automatically redeemed. An automatic call occurs if the index’s closing level on any of the six scheduled annual Observation Dates is at or above the Call Level (100% of the Starting Value). In that event, investors receive a fixed Call Amount that increases yearly, beginning at $10.75-$10.85 in year one and reaching $14.50-$15.10 in year six (ranges to be finalized on the pricing date).
If the notes are not called, investors are fully exposed to downside: at maturity they incur a 1-for-1 loss on any decline in NDX below the Starting Value, risking full principal. The securities pay no periodic interest, are not exchange-listed, and their market value before maturity may be below both the public offering price and the issuer’s initial estimated value. All payments depend on the creditworthiness of BNS; a BNS default could result in total loss. Key risks highlighted include capped upside, lack of principal protection, secondary-market and liquidity risk, potential undervaluation at issuance, and exposure to non-U.S. equity performance. Full terms, tax considerations, and risk factors are provided in the SEC-filed preliminary offering documents (CIK 9631).
