Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside
Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. due November 20, 2026
|
|
■
Linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Underlying Stock”)
■
Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not provide for fixed payments of interest, do not repay a fixed amount of principal at stated maturity and are subject
to potential automatic call prior to stated maturity upon the terms described below. Whether the securities pay a contingent coupon payment, whether the securities are automatically called prior to stated maturity and, if they are not
automatically called, whether you receive the face amount of your securities at stated maturity will depend, in each case, on the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on the relevant calculation day.
■
Contingent Coupon. The securities will pay a contingent coupon payment on a quarterly basis until the earlier of stated maturity or
automatic call if, and only if, the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on the calculation day for that quarter is greater than or equal to the coupon threshold price. However, if the stock
closing price of the Underlying Stock on a calculation day is less than the coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent coupon payment for the relevant quarter. If the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock is less
than the coupon threshold price on every calculation day, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments throughout the entire term of the securities. The coupon threshold price for the Underlying Stock is equal to 70% of the starting
price. The contingent coupon rate is 11.00% per annum
■ Automatic Call. If the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on any of the quarterly calculation days from May 2024 to August 2026, inclusive,
is greater than or equal to the starting price, the securities will be automatically called for the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment
■
Potential Loss of Principal. If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will receive the face
amount at stated maturity if, and only if, the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is greater than or equal to the downside threshold price. If the stock closing
price of the Underlying Stock on the final calculation day is less than the downside threshold price, you will lose more than 50%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities. The downside threshold price for the Underlying Stock is equal to 50% of the starting price
■
If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity, you will have full downside exposure to the Underlying Stock from the starting price if the stock
closing price on the final calculation day is less than the downside threshold price, but you will not participate in any appreciation of the Underlying Stock and will not receive any dividends
■
All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia (the “Bank”)

Payment:
|
On each contingent coupon payment date, you will receive a contingent coupon payment at a per annum rate equal to the contingent coupon rate if, and only if, the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on the related calculation day is greater than or equal to the coupon threshold price. Each “contingent coupon payment,” if any, will be calculated per
security as follows: ($1,000 × contingent coupon rate) / 4. Any contingent coupon payment will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
If the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on any calculation day is less than the coupon threshold price, you will not receive any contingent
coupon payment on the related contingent coupon payment date. If the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock is less than the coupon threshold price on all calculation days, you will not receive any contingent coupon payments over the

|
||
Contingent Coupon
Payment Dates:
|
Quarterly, on the third business day following each calculation day (as each such calculation day may be postponed pursuant to “—Market Disruption Events and Postponement

If the stock closing price of the Underlying Stock on any of the calculation days from May 2024 to August 2026, inclusive, is greater than or equal to the starting price,
the securities will be automatically called, and on the related call settlement date you will be entitled to receive a cash payment per security in U.S. dollars equal to the face amount plus a final contingent coupon payment. The securities
will not be subject to automatic call until the second calculation day, which is approximately six months after the issue date.

after such call settlement date. You will not receive any notice from us if the securities are automatically called.

If the securities are not automatically called prior to the stated maturity date, you will be entitled to receive on the stated maturity date a cash payment per security in

|
||
$1,000 × performance factor
|
|||
If the securities are not automatically called prior to stated maturity and the ending price is less than the downside threshold price, you will lose more
than 50%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities at stated maturity.
Any return on the securities will be limited to the sum of your contingent coupon payments, if any. You will not participate in any appreciation of the
Underlying Stock, but you will have full downside exposure to the Underlying Stock if the ending price is less than the downside threshold price.
|
|||
Performance Factor:
|
The ending price divided by the starting price (expressed as a percentage).
|
||
Stock Closing Price:

|
Agents:
|
Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC.
Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. or one of our affiliates has agreed to purchase the aggregate face amount of the securities and as part of the distribution, has agreed to sell the
securities to WFS at a discount of $19.45 (1.945%) per security. WFS will provide selected dealers, which may include WFA, with a selling concession of $17.50 (1.75%) per security, and WFA will receive a distribution expense fee of $0.75
(0.075%) per security for securities sold by WFA.
In addition, in respect of certain securities sold in this offering, we will pay a fee of up to $2.00 per security to selected securities dealers in consideration for
marketing and other services in connection with the distribution of the securities to other securities dealers.
See also “Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in the accompanying product supplement.
The price at which you purchase the securities includes costs that the Bank, the Agents or their respective affiliates expect to incur and profits that the Bank, the Agents
or their respective affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the securities, as set forth above. These costs and profits will likely reduce the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for
the securities. As a result, you may experience an immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your securities on the pricing date. See “Selected Risk Considerations — Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And
Any Secondary Market — The Inclusion of Dealer Spread and Projected Profit from Hedging in the Original Offering Price is Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices” in this pricing supplement.

|

amount at stated maturity;
|
• |
are willing to accept the risk that they may receive few or no contingent coupon payments over the term of the securities;

|
• |

Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Underlying Stock. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the Underlying
Stock. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the Underlying Stock for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any
dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on the Underlying Stock. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the Underlying Stock would have.
|
• |
Historical Prices Of The Underlying Stock Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Underlying Stock During The Term Of The Securities.
|
• |
The Securities May Become Linked To The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than An Original Underlying Stock Issuer.
|
• |
We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Cannot Control Actions By An Underlying Stock Issuer.
|
• |
We, The Agents And Our Respective Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Underlying Stock Issuer And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.
|
• |
You Have Limited Anti-dilution Protection.
|
• |
Hedging Activities By The Bank And/Or the Agents May Negatively Impact Investors In The Securities And Cause Our Respective Interests And Those Of Our Clients And Counterparties To Be Contrary To Those Of
Investors In The Securities.
|
• |
Market Activities By The Bank Or The Agents For Their Own Respective Accounts Or For Their Respective Clients Could Negatively Impact Investors In The Securities.
