By Sarah Lizee

Olympia, Wash., Oct. 26 – Bank of Nova Scotia plans to price 0% market-linked step-up notes due November 2020 linked to the S&P 500 index, according to an FWP with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the index finishes at or above the step-up value – 111% to 117% of the initial level – the payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus the index gain.

If the index is unchanged or gains by up to the step-up level, the payout will be par plus the step-up payment of 11% to 17%.

Investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline in the index from its initial level.

BofA Merrill Lynch is the agent.

The notes will price in November and settle in December.
