The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Dual Directional Buffered PLUS, senior unsecured notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, with a stated principal amount of $1,000 per security and no coupons. The notes are scheduled to price on July 31, 2026 and mature on August 3, 2028.
At maturity, holders receive leveraged upside of 150.00% of index gains, capped at a maximum upside gain of 19.41%, for a maximum payment of $1,194.10 per note. If the index falls by up to the 10.00% buffer, investors earn an unleveraged positive return equal to the absolute decline. Losses beyond the buffer lead to 1:1 downside exposure, with a minimum payment of $100.00, so up to 90.00% of principal is at risk.
The notes will not be listed, pay no dividends or interest, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected between $932.35 and $962.35 per $1,000 issue price, reflecting structuring and distribution costs and the use of BNS’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $12,495,650 of Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the Nikkei 225 Index, due July 17, 2031. Each Security costs $10 and pays no interest, with a minimum investment of $1,000.
The notes may be automatically called on July 22, 2027 if the index closes at or above the initial level of 68,751.51, paying a call price of $12 per Security (20% return). If not called, maturity payoff depends on index performance: gains are multiplied by an upside gearing of 1.85, principal is repaid if the final level is at least the downside threshold of 51,563.63 (75% of initial), and losses below that level reduce principal 1:1, potentially to zero. All payments depend on BNS’s credit; the notes are not insured or bail-inable, have limited liquidity, and their initial estimated value is $9.607 per $10, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsubordinated, unsecured Autocallable Barrier Review Notes linked to the least performing of the Dow Jones Industrial Average®, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Equal Weight Index, maturing on August 4, 2031. Each Note has a $1,000 Principal Amount and an Original Issue Price of 100% of principal, with underwriting commissions of 2.00% and issuer proceeds of 98.00%.
The Notes automatically call if on any Observation Date each index is at least 95% of its Initial Value, paying a fixed Call Payment Amount based on a 9.50% per term Call Return Rate, increasing from $1,095.00 to $1,475.00 per $1,000. If not called, and each Final Value is at or above 75% of its Initial Value, investors receive principal back; if any index finishes below its 75% Barrier Value, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the negative return of the Least Performing Reference Asset, up to a 100% loss of principal. The Notes pay no coupons, are not CDIC or FDIC insured, are not bail-inable, will not be listed, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of the Bank. The initial estimated value is expected between $934.71 and $964.71 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index, with a principal amount of $10 per Note and a term of approximately two years to July 20, 2028. The notes may be automatically called quarterly after 12 months if the index closing level is at or above its initial level, in which case investors receive the principal plus a call return based on a rate between 11.00% and 11.10% per annum and no further payments.
If the notes are not called and the index level on the final valuation date is at or above the downside threshold of 75% of the initial level, investors receive only the principal back; if it is below this level, repayment is reduced in proportion to the index decline, up to a total loss of principal. All payments depend on BNS’s credit, the notes are not insured or bail-inable and will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited. The issue price is $10.00, including a $0.175 per-note underwriting discount, versus an initial estimated value of $9.46–$9.76, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Auto-Callable Trigger PLUS senior unsecured notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, issued under its Senior Note Program, Series A. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and an issue price of $1,000.
The notes pay no interest or dividends and are automatically redeemed if, on the determination date before maturity, the index closing value is at or above the initial index value, for an early redemption payment of $1,135.30 per security. If not called, at maturity investors receive: leveraged upside (125.00% of index gains) above the initial index value; return of principal if the index ends between the initial value and the 80.00% trigger level; or a loss matching the full negative index return below the trigger, up to a total loss of principal.
The notes mature on or about August 3, 2028, are not listed on any exchange, and have limited expected liquidity. Estimated value on the pricing date is $939.83–$969.83 per $1,000, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs. All payments are subject to the credit risk of BNS and the securities are not insured or bail-inable.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $555,000 in Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due July 5, 2029, linked to Apollo Global Management, Inc. common stock. Each $1,000 note pays a quarterly contingent coupon of $45 (18.00% per annum) only when Apollo’s closing price on an observation date is at or above the barrier.
The notes are automatically called at par plus coupon if Apollo’s price on any call date is at or above the Initial Value of $121.83. If not called, principal is repaid at maturity only if the final price is at or above the Barrier Value and Contingent Coupon Barrier Value of $91.37 (75.00% of initial). Otherwise, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in Apollo from the initial level, up to a total loss of principal.
The notes are unsubordinated, unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is $974.28 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting dealer compensation, internal funding and hedging costs, and potential conflicts of interest.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $5,526,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due July 5, 2029, linked to the American depositary receipts of Alibaba Group Holding Limited. These senior unsecured notes are subject to the credit risk of the Bank and are not insured by CDIC or FDIC.
The notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $46.25 per $1,000 (18.50% per annum) only if on each observation date the Alibaba ADR closing value is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value of $82.38, equal to 70.00% of the Initial Value of $117.69. If on any call observation date the ADR closes at or above the Initial Value, the notes are automatically called for $1,000 plus the coupon, and no further payments occur.
If the notes are not called, payment at maturity depends on the Final Value. If it is at or above the Barrier Value of $82.38, investors receive principal back (plus any due coupon). If it is below the Barrier Value, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the negative Reference Asset Return, leading to a potential 100% loss of principal. The notes are not listed, may have little or no secondary market, and the initial estimated value is $971.48 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price due to funding and structuring costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities, senior unsecured notes linked to the common stock of Robinhood Markets, Inc. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, an issue price of $1,000, a pricing date of July 24, 2026 and a scheduled maturity on July 27, 2029, subject to early redemption.
Investors may receive a contingent quarterly coupon of $58.10 per security (equivalent to 23.24% per annum) for any determination date on which Robinhood’s closing price is at least 50.00% of the initial share price (the downside threshold); missed coupons can be paid later under a memory feature. If on any non-final determination date the closing price is at least 100.00% of the initial share price (the call threshold), the notes are automatically redeemed for principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons.
If the notes are not called and the final share price is below the downside threshold, the payment at maturity equals the $1,000 principal multiplied by the share performance factor, so the amount will be less than 50.00% of principal and could be zero. Investors do not participate in any upside of the stock beyond coupons and face full principal-at-risk exposure, as well as the senior unsecured credit risk of BNS. The securities will not be listed, estimated initial value is $932.35–$962.35 per $1,000, and selling concessions and structuring fees total $22.50 per security.
The Bank of Nova Scotia plans to issue unsecured, unsubordinated Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes with Memory Coupon due July 20, 2028, in $1,000 denominations, linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. The notes are issued at 100% of principal, with underwriting discounts up to 1.75% and at least 98.25% of proceeds to the bank. The initial estimated value is $936.32–$966.32 per $1,000.
Investors may receive contingent coupons of at least $35.375 per note (at least 14.15% per annum) on specified observation dates only if Broadcom’s closing value is at or above a Contingent Coupon Barrier Value set at 50% of the initial value; missed coupons can accrue as “memory” coupons but are forfeited if the final value is below the barrier. The notes are automatically called if Broadcom’s value on a call observation date is at or above the initial value, returning principal plus due coupons.
If not called and Broadcom’s final value is at or above the 50% Barrier Value, investors receive principal back plus any due coupons; if below the barrier, they receive a “Physical Delivery Amount” of Broadcom shares equal to $1,000 divided by the initial value, creating one-for-one downside and potential 100% principal loss. The notes are not listed, provide no dividends or voting rights, and all payments depend on the credit of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Performance Leveraged Upside Securities (PLUS) under its Senior Note Program, Series A. Each note has a $1,000.00 stated principal amount, matures on August 11, 2027, and is linked to an equally weighted basket of ten U.S. and international equity names.
The PLUS pay no coupons and provide 150% leveraged upside on any positive basket return, capped at a maximum payment of $1,512.40 per PLUS (a 51.24% gain). If the basket declines, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% drop, with no downside protection and potential loss of all invested principal.
