Investment Description

·	Linked to the EURO STOXX 50^® Index

Unlike ordinary debt securities, the Securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the Securities are subject to potential automatic call upon the terms described below. Any return you receive on the Securities and whether they are automatically called will depend on the performance of the Reference Asset.

Call Feature. If the Closing Level of the Reference Asset on any Call Date (including the Final Calculation Day) is greater than or equal to the Starting Level, the Securities will be automatically called, and on the related Call Settlement Date you will receive the Principal Amount plus the Call Premium applicable to the relevant Call Date.

Call Date	Call Premium
February 5, 2020	9.00% of the Principal Amount
February 5, 2021	18.00% of the Principal Amount
January 31, 2022 (the “Final Calculation Day”)	27.00% of the Principal Amount

Redemption Amount at Maturity. If the Securities are not automatically called on any Call Date (including the Final Calculation Day), the Redemption Amount at Maturity will be based upon the Closing Level of the Reference Asset on the Final Calculation Day and could be equal to or less than the Principal Amount per Security as follows:

o	If the Ending Level is less than the Starting Level but not by more than 10.00% (the Percentage Change is zero or negative but not below -10.00%):

You will be repaid the Principal Amount;

o	If the Ending Level is less than the Starting Level by more than 10.00% (the Percentage Change is negative and below -10.00%):

Principal Amount + [Principal Amount × (Percentage Change +Threshold Percentage)]

In this case, you will receive less than the Principal Amount and will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Reference Asset in excess of 10%.

·	Investors may lose up to 90% of the Principal Amount.

·	Any positive return on the Securities will be limited to the applicable Call Premium.

·	All payments on the Securities are subject to the credit risk of the Bank, and you will have no right to any securities tracked by the Reference Asset; if The Bank of Nova Scotia defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment.

·	No periodic interest payments or dividends.

·	No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity.

The estimated value of the Securities as determined by the Bank as of the Pricing Date is $936.21 per $1,000 Principal Amount. See “The Bank’s Estimated Value of the Securities” in the pricing supplement.

The Securities have complex features and investing in the Securities involves risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. See “Selected Risk Considerations” in this term sheet, “Additional Risks” in the pricing supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the product prospectus supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus supplement and prospectus.

This term sheet should be read in conjunction with the pricing supplement, product prospectus supplement, prospectus supplement, and prospectus.

Hypothetical Payout Profile

The profile to the right illustrates the potential payment on the Securities for a range of hypothetical Percentage Changes in the Closing Level of the Reference Asset from the Pricing Date to the applicable Call Date (including the Final Calculation Day), based on the Threshold Level of 90% of the Starting Level.

This graph has been prepared for purposes of illustration only. Your actual return will depend on (i) whether the Securities are automatically called; (ii) if the Securities are automatically called, the actual Call Date on which the Securities are called; (iii) if the Securities are not automatically called, the actual Ending Level; and (iv) whether you hold your Securities to maturity or an earlier automatic call.

Hypothetical Returns

If the Securities are automatically called:

Hypothetical Call Date on which Securities are automatically called	Payment per Security on related Call Settlement Date	Pre-tax total rate of return	Pre-tax annualized rate of return⁽¹⁾
1^st call date	$1,090.00	9.00%	8.64%
2^nd call date	$1,180.00	18.00%	8.36%
3^rd call date	$1,270.00	27.00%	8.11%

Each Security has a Principal Amount of $1,000.
⁽¹⁾ The annualized rates of return are calculated on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis with compounding.

If the Securities are not automatically called:

Hypothetical Ending Level	Hypothetical Percentage Change⁽¹⁾	Hypothetical Redemption Amount at Maturity per Security	Hypothetical pre-tax total rate of return	Hypothetical pre-tax annualized rate of return⁽²⁾
3,001.46	-5.00%	$1,000.00	0.00%	0.00%
2,843.49	-10.00%	$1,000.00	0.00%	0.00%
2,811.89	-11.00%	$990.00	-1.00%	-0.33%
2,527.54	-20.00%	$900.00	-10.00%	-3.47%
2,369.57	-25.00%	$850.00	-15.00%	-5.33%
1,579.72	-50.00%	$600.00	-40.00%	-16.28%
789.86	-75.00%	$350.00	-65.00%	-32.02%
0.00	-100.00%	$100.00	-90.00%	-63.60%

⁽¹⁾ Based on the Starting Level of 3,159.43. Each Security has a Principal Amount of $1,000.

⁽²⁾ The annualized rates of return are calculated on a semi-annual bond equivalent basis with compounding.

The above figures are for purposes of illustration only and may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual amount you receive upon automatic call or at maturity and the resulting pre-tax rate of return will depend on (i) whether the Securities are automatically called; (ii) if the Securities are automatically called, the actual Call Date on which the Securities are called; (iii) if the Securities are not automatically called, the actual Ending Level of the Reference Asset; and (iv) whether you hold your Securities to maturity or earlier automatic call.

Call Dates and Call Premiums

Call Date	Call Premium	Payment per Security upon an Automatic Call
February 5, 2020	9.00% of the Principal Amount	$1,090.00
February 5, 2021	18.00% of the Principal Amount	$1,180.00
January 31, 2022 (the “Final Calculation Day”)	27.00% of the Principal Amount	$1,270.00

The last Call Date is the Final Calculation Day, and payment upon an automatic call on the Final Calculation Day, if applicable, will be made on the Maturity Date.

How the Redemption Amount at Maturity is Calculated

If the Closing Level of the Reference Asset is less than the Starting Level on each of the three Call Dates, the Securities will not be automatically called, and on the Maturity Date you will receive a Redemption Amount at Maturity per Security determined as follows:

●	If the Ending Level is less than the Starting Level and greater than or equal to the Threshold Level, the Redemption Amount at Maturity will equal: $1,000; or

●	If the Ending Level is less than the Threshold Level, the Redemption Amount at Maturity will be equal:

Principal Amount + [Principal Amount x (Percentage Change + Threshold Percentage)]

In this case, you will receive less than the Principal Amount and will have 1-to-1 downside exposure to the decrease in the level of the Reference Asset in excess of 10%.

Any positive return on the Securities will be limited to the applicable Call Premium, even if the Closing Level of the Reference Asset significantly exceeds the Starting Level on the applicable Call Date. You will not participate in any appreciation of the Reference Asset beyond the applicable Call Premium. If the Securities are not automatically called on any Call Date and the Ending Level is less than the Threshold Level, you will receive less, and possibly 90% less, than the Principal Amount of your Securities at maturity.

Selected Risk Considerations

The risks set forth below are discussed in detail in “Additional Risks” in the pricing supplement, “Additional Risk Factors Specific to the Notes” in the product prospectus supplement and “Risk Factors” in the prospectus supplement and prospectus. Please review those risk disclosures carefully.

●	The Inclusion of Dealer Spread and Projected Profit from Hedging in the Original Offering Price is Likely to Adversely Affect Secondary Market Prices.

●

Risk of Loss at Maturity: Any payment on the Securities at maturity depends on the Percentage Change of the Reference Asset. If the Securities are not automatically called, the Bank will only repay you the full Principal Amount of your Securities if the Percentage Change does not reflect a decrease in the Reference Asset of more than 10.00%. If the Percentage Change is negative by more than 10.00%, meaning the percentage decline from the Starting Level to the Ending Level is greater than the 10.00% Threshold Percentage, you will lose a significant portion of your initial investment in an amount equal to the Percentage Change in excess of the Threshold Percentage. Accordingly, if the Securities are not automatically called, you may lose up to 90% of your investment in the Securities if the percentage decline from the Starting Level to the Ending Level is greater than 10.00%.
