The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., due November 16, 2027, with a $1,000 principal amount per note. The notes pay a contingent monthly coupon of $7.875 per $1,000 (0.7875% monthly; up to 9.45% per annum) on an observation date only if the closing price of Amazon is at or above 65.00% of the initial price.
The notes are subject to automatic redemption if Amazon’s closing price on a call observation date (Nov 2026–Oct 2027) is equal to or greater than the initial price; upon an automatic call holders receive $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called and the final price is below 65.00% of the initial price, holders receive a share delivery amount equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price, which would be worth less than 65% of principal and may produce a substantial loss. The original issue price is 100% and the Bank’s initial estimated value is expected to be between $925.00 and $955.00 per $1,000. Payments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
