New Issue: Scotia sells $11.08 million contingent market-linked autocalls on Nasdaq, Russell, S&P

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, June 2 – Bank of Nova Scotia priced $11.08 million of market-linked securities due May 30, 2025 – autocallable with contingent coupon and contingent downside linked to the least performing of the S&P 500 index, the Russell 2000 index and the Nasdaq-100 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly coupon at an annual rate of 7% if each index closes at or above its 70% coupon threshold on the observation date for that period.

The notes will be called at par if each index closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par unless any index finishes below its 70% downside threshold, in which case the payout will be par plus the return of the worst performing index with full exposure to any losses.

Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. is the agent with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acting as the agent for distribution.
