Opportunities in U.S. Equities$4,900,000 Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due April 12, 2029 All Payments on the Securities Based on the Worst Performing of the Common Stock of Micron Technology, Inc. and the Common Stock of NVIDIA CorporationPrincipal at Risk Securities Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities (the “securities”) do not guarantee the repayment of principal and do not provide for the regular payment of interest. Instead, the securities offer the opportunity for investors to earn a contingent semiannual coupon with respect toeach determination date on which the closing price ofeachof the underlying stocks is greater than or equal to 60.00% of its initial share price, which we refer to as its coupon threshold price.If the closing price of all of the underlying stocks on any determination date (includingthe final determination date) are greater than or equal to their coupon threshold prices, BNS will pay on the related contingent coupon payment date a contingent semiannual coupon, plus any previously unpaid contingent semiannual coupons with respect to any previousdetermination dates pursuant to the memory coupon feature. Otherwise, no contingent semiannual coupon will be paid on that contingent coupon payment date. In addition, if the closing prices ofallof the underlying stocks on any determination date (other than the finaldetermination date) aregreater than or equal totheir respective call threshold prices, the securities will be automatically redeemed for an amount per security equal to (i) the stated principal amountplus(ii) the contingent semiannual coupon otherwise payable with respect tothe applicable determination date and any previously unpaid contingent semiannual coupons with respect to any previous determination dates pursuant to the memory coupon feature. No further payments will be made on the securities once they have been redeemed.However, if the closing price ofanyof the underlying stocks on any applicable determination date isless thanits call threshold price, the securities will not be automatically redeemed and, if the closing price ofanyof the underlying stocks isless thanits coupon thresholdprice, you will not receive on the corresponding contingent coupon payment date any contingent semiannual coupon with respect to the applicable determination dateor any previously unpaid contingent semiannual coupons with respect to any previous determination datespursuant to the memory coupon feature. As a result, if the closing price of any of the underlying stocks on each of the determination dates is less than the coupon threshold price, you will receive no contingent semiannual coupons during the term of the securities. Investorsmust be willing to accept the risk of not receiving any contingent semiannual coupons during the term of the securities. Furthermore, if the final share price ofanyof the underlying stocks isless than50.00% of its initial share price, which we refer to as its downside thresholdprice, BNS will pay you a cash payment per security that will beless than50.00% of the stated principal amount and could be zero and you will be exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to the decline of the worst performing underlying stock. In this scenario, you will lose a significantportion or all of your investment in the securities. Accordingly, the securities do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Investors will not participate in any appreciation of the underlying stocks and will not realize a return beyond the returns represented by thecontingent semiannual coupons received, if any, during the term of the securities. Because all payments on the securities are based on the worst performing underlying stock, a decline beyond the respective coupon threshold price and/or downside threshold price, asapplicable, ofanyof the underlying stocks will result in few or no contingent semiannual coupons and/or a loss of a significant portion and up to your entire investment in the securities even if the other underlying stocks appreciate or have not declined as much. Thesesecurities are for investors who are willing to risk their entire investment based on the worst performing of the underlying stocks and who seek an opportunity to earn interest at a potentially above-market rate in exchange for the risk of receiving no interest over the entire termof the securities. The securities are senior unsecured debt securities issued by The Bank of Nova Scotia (“BNS”). The securities are notes issued as part of BNS’ Senior Note Program, Series A.All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of BNS. If BNSwere to default on its payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the securities and you could lose your entire investment in the securities. These securities are not secured obligations and you will not have any securityinterest in, or otherwise have any access to, any underlying reference asset or assets. The early redemption payment wi
