The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Series A senior unsecured market-linked securities, each with a $1,000 face amount, linked to the lowest performing of the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF, the S&P 500 Index and the State Street Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF, maturing on July 27, 2029. The notes pay quarterly contingent coupons at a rate set on pricing, but at least 10.80% per annum, only when the lowest performing underlying on each calculation day is at or above 65% of its starting value.
From January 2027 through April 2029, the notes are automatically called if on a quarterly calculation day the lowest underlying is at or above its starting value, returning the face amount plus a final coupon. If not called, principal is fully returned at maturity only if the lowest underlying on the final calculation day is at or above its 65% downside threshold; otherwise investors lose more than 35% and up to all principal. The original offering price is $1,000 per security, including an agent discount of $23.25, with issuer proceeds of $976.75. The Bank’s estimated value is $914.24–$944.24 per security. All payments are subject to Bank of Nova Scotia credit risk, with no CDIC or FDIC insurance, limited expected liquidity and complex Canadian and U.S. tax considerations.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured, unsubordinated Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the Class A common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc., issued under its Senior Note Program, Series A, in $1,000 denominations and maturing on September 1, 2027 unless called earlier.
Investors may receive a $9.542 monthly contingent coupon per $1,000 (0.9542% monthly, about 11.45% per annum) only when Meta’s closing price on an observation date is at least 59.00% of the initial price. From January through July 2027, the notes are automatically called if Meta closes at or above the initial price on a call observation date, paying $1,000 plus the applicable coupon.
If the notes are not called and Meta’s final price is at least 59.00% of the initial price, holders receive $1,000 plus the final coupon. If the final price is below 59.00%, investors receive a share delivery amount of Meta stock (or cash equivalent) worth less than 59% of principal and no coupon, implying a substantial or total loss. The notes are not CDIC or FDIC insured, will not be listed, have an initial estimated value of $925–$955 per $1,000, and all payments depend on Bank of Nova Scotia’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsubordinated, unsecured Autocallable Barrier Review Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 Index and S&P 500 Index, maturing July 29, 2030, under its Senior Note Program. Each note has $1,000 principal with an original issue price of 100%.
On each annual observation date, if both indices close at or above their initial values, the notes are automatically called for a fixed cash payment based on an 11.30% per-term Call Return Rate; scheduled call payments per $1,000 are $1,113 in 2027, $1,226 in 2028, $1,339 in 2029, and $1,452 on the 2030 maturity date.
If the notes are not called and each final index level is at least 70.00% of its initial value, holders receive $1,000 principal; otherwise repayment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the return of the worst-performing index, allowing up to 100% loss of principal. The notes pay no periodic interest, are not CDIC or FDIC insured, will not be listed, and all payments depend on the bank’s credit. Initial estimated value is between $927.06 and $957.06 per $1,000, below the issue price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $7,765,000 of Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index under its Senior Note Program, Series A. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, is issued at 100% of principal in U.S. dollars, pays no interest, and matures on September 20, 2028.
Payment at maturity depends on S&P 500 performance from the initial level of 7,515.34 on July 13, 2026 to the valuation date on September 18, 2028. If the final level is at least 85.00% of the initial level, investors receive a fixed $1,192 per $1,000 (a 19.2% maximum return). If the index falls more than 15%, losses accelerate at approximately 1.1765% for every additional 1% decline, and investors can lose up to their entire principal.
All payments are subject to the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia; the notes are unsubordinated, unsecured obligations and are not insured by the CDIC or FDIC. The initial estimated value is $990.80 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs, which may create an immediate secondary-market discount. The notes will not be listed, and any secondary liquidity would be at the discretion of an affiliated dealer.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Trigger Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature, linked to the worst performer of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, each with a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000.00 per security and a maturity date on or about August 5, 2032.
The notes pay no coupons or dividends. Instead, they auto-call on scheduled determination dates if both indices are at or above their initial values, for fixed early redemption payments that step up over time and correspond to a 9.60% per annum return (for example, $1,096.00 on the first call date up to $1,552.00 on the last). If held to maturity and still not called, investors receive a fixed maturity redemption payment of $1,576.00 (also 9.60% per annum) if both final index values are at or above initial levels, par if any index is below initial but both remain at or above an 80.00% trigger level, and otherwise $1,000 × (1 + underlying return of the worst-performing index), which can be as low as zero.
Principal is fully at risk; a drop in either index below its trigger level at final valuation produces 1:1 downside to the worst index, up to a total loss of investment. The securities are not listed, may have limited secondary liquidity, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $922.80 and $952.80 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs and BNS’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,432,000 principal amount of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffered Notes due July 17, 2031, linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index and Russell 2000 Index.
The Notes pay a quarterly 9.65% per annum contingent coupon ($24.125 per $1,000) only when both indices are at or above 75% of their Initial Values on observation dates. They are automatically called, returning principal plus coupon, if both indices meet declining call thresholds from 100% to 85% of Initial Value.
If not called, repayment depends on the worst-performing index: full principal is returned if it finishes at or above 75% of Initial Value; below that level, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% additional decline, up to a 75% loss. The unsecured Notes carry Bank credit risk, are not insured or exchange-listed, and had an initial estimated value of $971.83 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $43,890,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to NVIDIA common stock under its Senior Note Program, Series A.
Each $1,000 security can pay a $25.875 quarterly coupon (10.35% per year) for any determination date when NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above the downside threshold of $105.48, which is 50.00% of the initial share price of $210.96. Missed coupons may be paid later if a subsequent determination date meets the threshold under the memory coupon feature. The notes auto-call at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons if NVIDIA is at or above the 100.00% call threshold on a non-final determination date, before maturity on July 13, 2029.
Principal is fully at risk: if the final share price is below the downside threshold, you are exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to NVIDIA’s decline and the payment can be less than 50.00% of principal or zero. The securities are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, not listed on any exchange, with an estimated initial value of $968.50 per $1,000 security, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $8,663,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 13, 2029, linked to Palo Alto Networks, Inc. common stock. Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $37.75 (15.10% per annum) if on the determination date the stock closes at or above the downside threshold price of $162.955, 50.00% of the initial share price of $325.91. Missed coupons may be paid later under a memory feature.
If on any non-final determination date the stock closes at or above the call threshold price of $325.91, the security is automatically redeemed for principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons, and no further payments are made. If not called and the final share price is at or above the downside threshold, investors receive principal plus the final coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment equals principal multiplied by the share performance factor, resulting in less than 50.00% of principal and possibly zero, with no coupons.
The securities are senior unsecured debt of BNS, not insured by CDIC or FDIC and not bail-inable. All payments depend on BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is $958.05 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the securities will not be listed, so secondary-market liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $30,780,000 of senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the worst performer of Amazon.com, Alphabet Inc. Class A and Microsoft Corporation. Each $1,000 note has a 6‑month initial non-call period and may pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $40.90 (16.36% per annum) when, on a determination date, all three stocks are at or above 60.00% of their initial prices, with missed coupons potentially paid later under a “memory” feature.
From the second through the penultimate determination dates, if all stocks are at or above 100.00% of their initial prices, the notes auto-call for $1,000 plus due and unpaid coupons, and no further payments are made. If held to July 13, 2028 and any final stock price is below its 60.00% downside threshold, holders receive principal plus the return of the worst-performing stock, so the cash payment will be less than 60.00% of principal and could be zero. The securities are not listed, have an initial estimated value of $964.18 per $1,000 versus the $1,000 issue price, include per-note fees, and all payments are subject to BNS credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $9,999,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 13, 2029 linked to Affirm Holdings, Inc. common stock. Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $52.50 (21.00% per annum) when the stock closes at or above the $41.71 downside threshold, equal to 50.00% of the $83.42 initial share price.
If on any non-final determination date the stock closes at or above the $83.42 call threshold, equal to 100.00% of the initial price, the security is automatically redeemed at par plus due coupons. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with the stock decline and may be less than 50% of principal or zero. Investors receive no upside beyond coupons, face limited liquidity and tax uncertainty, and bear full credit risk of BNS, whose estimated value of the notes on the pricing date is $973.10 per $1,000, below the issue price.
