The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) offers Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due on or about May 18, 2029
These are senior unsecured notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. (AVGO) that pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $37.50 (15.00% per annum) only if each determination-date closing price meets or exceeds a downside threshold equal to 60.00% of the initial share price. The notes can be auto-redeemed early if the closing price on a determination date equals or exceeds the call threshold (100.00% of the initial share price). At maturity, if the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment equals the stated principal multiplied by the share performance factor and may be less than 60.00% of principal, potentially resulting in a substantial or total loss. Issue price is $1,000.00 per security; estimated value on pricing date was between $935.50 and $965.50.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering $12,000,000 of Buffered Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities with Memory Coupon and Downside Leverage due May 6, 2027.

The notes may auto‑redeem early if the underlying closing price on a determination date meets or exceeds the call threshold price of $667.74.

All payments are unsecured obligations of BNS and subject to its credit risk; BNS’ initial estimated value per note on the pricing date was $995.57, below the issue price.
