The Bank of Nova Scotia is pricing senior, equity-linked notes with a face amount of $1,000 per security that are linked to the lowest performing common stock of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Micron Technology, Inc. and NVIDIA Corporation. The notes are auto-callable on scheduled call dates beginning in May 26, 2027 and mature on May 24, 2029 if not called. Each Underlying Stock has a call threshold equal to 95% of its starting price and a threshold equal to 50% of its starting price (the buffer). If not called, holders may receive an absolute value return up to 50% or suffer up to a 50% loss of face amount depending on the lowest performing Underlying Stock on the final calculation day.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to Meta Platforms, Inc. (META) with a $1,000 principal amount per note. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $8.417 per $1,000 (equal to 0.8417% monthly, or ~10.10% per annum) on any coupon payment date when the reference stock's closing price on the related observation date is at or above a 65.00% coupon barrier.
If a call observation date (November 2026–May 2027) has the closing price at or above the initial price, the notes will be automatically redeemed at $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called and the final price is below the 65.00% trigger, holders receive a share delivery amount (quotient of $1,000 divided by the initial price) and may lose a substantial portion of principal. The notes mature on or about July 2, 2027, are unsecured obligations of the Bank, and are subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The Bank’s initial estimated value range at pricing is $925.00 to $955.00 per $1,000 principal amount.

The notes provide 130.00% participation in positive index returns up to a capped maximum payment of $1,315.25 per $1,000. They offer a buffer that protects against declines up to 12.50%, but losses beyond that are amplified by a buffer rate of approximately 114.29%, potentially resulting in loss of principal.

The securities pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $37.20 (equivalent to 14.88% per annum) only if the closing price of the underlying shares on a determination date is >= the downside threshold (60.00% of the initial share price). The notes are auto-callable prior to maturity if the closing price on a determination date is >= the call threshold (100.00% of the initial share price). If at maturity the final share price is below the downside threshold, the cash payment equals the stated principal multiplied by the share performance factor and may be less than 60.00% of principal or zero.

At maturity the payout depends on the least performing underlying asset: if both underliers finish at or above their step barriers you receive $10 × (1 + the greater of the step return or the least performing underlying return); if any final level is below the downside threshold you may suffer a loss equal to the least performing underlying return. Payments (including any return of principal) are subject to BNS credit risk and the securities do not pay interest.
