Risk Factors
Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for a description of certain risks related to this investment, including, but not limited to, the following:
•
|
If the notes are not automatically called, depending on the performance of the Market Measure as measured shortly before the maturity date, your investment may result in a loss; there
is no guaranteed return of principal.
|
•
|
If the notes are called, your return on the notes is limited to the return represented by the Call Premium.
|
•
|
Payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of BNS, and actual or perceived changes in the creditworthiness of BNS are expected to affect the value of the notes. If BNS
becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its obligations, you may lose your entire investment.
|
•
|
The initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing date will be less than their public offering price.
|
•
|
If you attempt to sell the notes prior to maturity, their market value may be lower than both the public offering price and the initial estimated value of the notes on the pricing
date.
|
•
|
You will have no rights of a holder of the securities represented by the Market Measure, and you will not be entitled to receive securities or dividends or other distributions by the
issuers of those securities.
|
Final terms will be set on the pricing date within the given range for the specified Market-Linked Investment. Please see the Preliminary Offering Documents for complete
product disclosure, including related risks and tax disclosure.
