The notes have a $1,000 principal amount per note, an expected maturity of June 24, 2027 and may be automatically called on monthly call observation dates from November 2026 through May 2027.
Holders may receive a contingent coupon of $11.00 per $1,000 (1.10% monthly; up to 13.20% per annum) on an observation date only if the closing price of Broadcom equals or exceeds 57.00% of the initial price. If not called and the final price is below 57.00% of the initial price, investors receive a share delivery amount (or cash for fractional shares) and may lose a substantial portion of principal.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Buffered Notes linked to the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF. The notes pay no interest, may be automatically called ~16–18 months after trade date, and mature ~29 months after trade date if not called. Key economic terms: a buffer of 20.00% (buffer rate 125.00%), a call premium expected between 14.36% and 16.85%, and a maximum payment amount expected between $1,287.20 and $1,337.00 per $1,000 principal. The issuer states the initial estimated value range is $922.65–$952.65 per $1,000; underwriting commissions equal 1.81% and proceeds to the Bank are 98.19% of original issue price. Payments at maturity are subject to the Bank’s credit risk and the notes do not provide dividend exposure, are not listed, and may result in loss of up to 100% of principal.
The Bank of Nova Scotia offers Leveraged Index Return Notes ("LIRNs") linked to one or more commodities, commodity futures or commodity indices. LIRNs are senior unsecured notes; payments (including principal) depend on the Bank's creditworthiness. Each issue will have a term sheet specifying the Market Measure, Participation Rate, Threshold Value, any Capped Value, automatic call terms, Observation Dates, and calculation mechanics. LIRNs typically have a principal amount of $10 per unit, provide leveraged upside at a Participation Rate (≥ 100%), may limit upside by a cap or automatic call, and expose holders to 1-to-1 downside below the Threshold Value. BofA Securities will act as agent and, unless otherwise stated, as calculation agent.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured "Trigger Autocallable GEARS" linked to an unequally weighted basket of the EURO STOXX 50 (50%), Russell 2000 (25%) and S&P 500 (25%). The notes have an autocall on the observation date if the basket closing level is ≥ the autocall barrier (100% of the initial basket level). If autocalled, investors receive the call price (principal plus the call return). If not autocalled, maturity payoff depends on the basket return and a downside threshold (75% of initial); negative returns below that threshold can cause losses up to the full principal. Key terms include an upside gearing of 1.50, a call return rate range of 12.50%–13.05%, $10 principal per Security and a minimum investment of $1,000. Payments depend on BNS creditworthiness. Trade date, observation date and maturity are set in the pricing supplement.

The notes pay no interest, are subject to the Bank’s credit risk and may be automatically called ~16–18 months after the trade date if the reference asset closes at or above 80% of the initial price, producing a call payment that includes a call premium (expected between 14.36% and 16.85%).
