The Bank of Nova Scotia $14,984,730 Trigger Autocallable NotesLinked to the Russell 2000® Index due February 26, 2030 Investment Description The Bank of Nova Scotia Trigger Autocallable Notes (the “Notes”) are senior unsecured debt securities issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia (“BNS” or the “issuer”) linked to the Russell2000®Index (the “underlying asset”). BNS will automatically call the Notes early if the closing level of the underlying asset on any observation date (quarterly, callable after 12months), including the final valuation date, is equal to or greater than the call threshold level, which is equal to the closing level of the underlying asset on the trade date (the “initiallevel”). If the Notes are subject to an automatic call, BNS will pay on the applicable call settlement date following such observation date a cash payment per Note equal to the “callprice”, which is the principal amount plus a call return based on the call return rate, and no further payments will be owed to you under the Notes. The call return increases the longerthe Notes are outstanding. If the Notes are not subject to an automatic call and the closing level of the underlying asset on the final valuation date (the “final level”) is equal to orgreater than the downside threshold, BNS will pay you a cash payment per Note at maturity equal to the principal amount. If, however, the Notes are not subject to an automatic calland the final level is less than the downside threshold, BNS will pay you a cash payment per Note at maturity that is less than the principal amount, if anything, resulting in apercentage loss on your principal amount equal to the percentage decline in the underlying asset from the initial level to the final level (the “underlying return”) and, in extremesituations, you could lose your entire investment in the Notes.Investing in the Notes involves significant risks.You will not receive a positive return if the Notes are notautomatically called and you may lose a significant portion or all of your investment. Higher call return rates are generally associated with a greater risk of loss and agreater risk that the Notes will not be subject to an automatic call.Any payment on the Notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness ofBNS. If BNS were to default on its payment obligations you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the Notes and you could lose your entire investment in theNotes.
