The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Digital Trigger Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index, subject to a final Pricing Supplement. The notes mature expected June 1, 2029, with an automatic call feature expected on May 28, 2027.
The notes pay no interest and return at maturity depends on the least performing reference asset: an automatic call yields principal plus a call premium (expected ≥ 9.00%); otherwise maturity payments follow a tiered formula with a $1,400 threshold settlement and an 85.00% trigger level below which holders may suffer losses up to 100% of principal. Payments are obligations of the Bank and subject to its credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF (SMH UQ). Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and an expected maturity of September 2, 2027.

If the final price is below 70.00% of the initial price at maturity, principal is reduced pro rata by the reference asset return and you could lose up to 100% of principal. The initial estimated value range on pricing is $925.00 to $965.00 per $1,000 principal; the original issue price is 100.00%. Payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
