The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering $14,831,000 of senior, unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due May 11, 2029, each with a $1,000 stated principal amount. The notes reference the common stocks of Apple, Amazon and Alphabet (Class A) and pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $37.50 (15.00% per annum) only if, on a determination date, the closing price of each underlying is at least 60.00% of its initial share price.
If the securities are not auto-redeemed and the final share price of the worst performing underlying is below its 60.00% downside threshold, maturity payment is reduced on a 1-to-1 basis by that underlying return and can be as low as $0. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk. The initial estimated value per security on the pricing date was $953.83, below the issue price of $1,000.00.

For each $1,000 principal amount the notes pay either a threshold settlement amount (expected between $1,174.30 and $1,205.00), the principal plus any positive basket return, the principal if the final basket level declines by no more than 10.00%, or a reduced cash amount if the decline exceeds 10.00% (losses scale at approximately 111.11% per 1% beyond the 10% buffer). The notes do not pay interest, are unsecured senior obligations of the Bank, are payable in U.S. dollars, and are subject to the Bank's credit risk and limited liquidity.

The securities have a $1,000 face amount and original offering price of $1,000 per security. If automatically called on the call date (approximately one year after issuance), holders will receive at least a 40.00% call premium (at least $400 per security). If not called, the maturity payment depends solely on the lowest performing Underlying Stock: a 400% upside participation rate applies to positive returns above the starting price; an absolute value return feature can produce up to 50.00% positive return if the lowest performer declines but remains ≥50% of its starting price; declines below 50% of starting price expose holders to full downside, potentially losing most or all of principal. The Bank’s estimated value at pricing is between $880.00 and $890.00 per security; proceeds to the Bank are $974.25 per security after initial distribution discounts. All payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
