Prospectus Supplement for Index Linked Notes
initial price, current price and return since inception), the performance of the Indices and any applicable
early trading charges. The percentage change in the Index levels posted at
www.investorsolutions.gbm.scotiabank.com will be calculated as if the date on which the information is
provided is the maturity date of the specified Notes and does not reflect the resale price of such Notes prior
to their maturity date. See "Secondary Market for Notes" in the Prospectus.
Historical Index Level and Dividend Information
The Bank may provide historical information relating to the levels of the Index or Indices to which the
Notes are linked in the pricing supplement for such Notes. A purchaser should not take any such historical
Index levels as an indication of future performance. The Bank cannot provide any assurance that the level
of any Index will not decrease. A purchaser of Notes may receive little or no return on the Notes and the
amounts payable on such Notes may be substantially less than the principal amount thereof. The Bank may
provide information relating to historical dividend yields on an Index in the pricing supplement for the
Notes. Such dividend yield information is for comparative purposes only and is not an indication of any
future dividends that might be paid or payable on the securities comprising the Index. See “Risks Related
to Notes Linked to AR Indices".
Hypothetical Returns on the Notes
The pricing supplement for the Notes may include a table, chart, hypothetical examples for illustrative
purposes, or other explanation showing a hypothetical return for such Notes at maturity (or prior to
maturity in the respect of Notes that are subject to an automatic call feature in favour of the Bank), based
on a range of hypothetical Index levels and on various key assumptions shown in the pricing supplement.
Any such information will be provided for purposes of illustration only and it should not be viewed as an
indication or prediction of future investment results. Such information is intended merely to illustrate the
impact of various hypothetical market levels of the Index or Indices on any valuation date as calculated in
the manner described in the relevant pricing supplement and assuming all other variables remained
constant.
As shown in the applicable pricing supplement, the hypothetical amounts payable on the Notes may bear
little or no relationship to the actual market value of the Notes on that date or at any other time, including
any time a purchaser of the Notes may wish to sell such Notes. In addition, a purchaser should not view
such hypothetical amounts as an indication of the possible financial return on an investment in the Notes,
since the financial return will be affected by various factors including taxes, if applicable, that the
hypothetical information does not take into account. Moreover, whatever the financial return on the Notes
might be, it may bear little relation to, and may be much less than, the financial return that a purchaser
might realize from an investment in the underlying interests comprising the Index directly.
Various risk factors that may affect the market value of the Notes, and the unpredictable nature of that
market value, are described under "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus, this product supplement and the
relevant pricing supplement.
Dealings in Underlying Interests
The Bank and its affiliates may from time to time, in the course of their respective normal business
operations, have dealings in the underlying interests which make up an Index or with issuers of such
underlying interests and certain of their affiliates (including acting as an advisor on corporate transactions
either directly or indirectly through affiliates who provide such services in their normal course of business),
including through the extension of credit to, or by investing in, such entities. The Bank and its affiliates will
act in the normal course of business in these circumstances and will not take into account the effect, if any,
of such actions on Index levels or any amounts that may be payable on the Notes or the interests of
purchasers of Notes generally.
