T he not e s do not be a r int e re st . The notes will mature on the maturity date (November 22, 2022) unless they are automatically called on any annual call
observation date (commencing on November 30, 2020). Your notes will be automatically called on a call observation date if the closing level of the Russell 2000®
Index (the reference asset) on such date is greater than or equal to the initial level of 1,592.341, resulting in a payment on the corresponding call payment date for
each $1,000 principal amount of your notes equal to (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of $1,000 times the applicable call premium amount. The call observation dates,
call payment dates and applicable call premium amount for each call payment date are specified under "Summary" beginning on page P-3 this pricing supplement.
If your notes are not automatically called, the amount that you will be paid on your notes at maturity will be based on the performance of the reference asset as
measured from the trade date (November 18, 2019) to and including the valuation date (November 18, 2022).
If the final level on the valuation date is equal to or greater than 90.00% of the initial level, the return on your notes will be positive and you will receive the
maximum payment amount of $1,198.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of your notes.

The return on your notes is capped. If the notes are automatically called, the maximum payment you would receive for each $1,000 principal amount of your notes
is equal to (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of $1,000 times the applicable call premium amount. If your notes are not automatically called, the maximum payment you
would receive on the maturity date for each $1,000 principal amount of your notes is the maximum payment amount.
If your notes are not automatically called on any call observation date, we will calculate the percentage change, which is the percentage increase or decrease in
the final level from the initial level, to determine your payment at maturity. At maturity, for each $1,000 principal amount of your notes, you will receive an amount in
cash equal to:
?
if the final level is equal to or greater than 90.00% of the initial level, the maximum payment amount; or
?
if the final level is less than 90.00% of the initial level, the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of (a) $1,000 times (b) the buffer rate of approximately
111.11% times (c) the sum of the percentage change plus 10.00%.

Pricing Supplement dated November 18, 2019
The Autocallable Buffered Notes Linked to the Russell 2000® Index Due November 22, 2022 (the "notes") offered hereunder are unsubordinated and unsecured
obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia (the "Bank") and are subject to investment risks including possible loss of the principal amount invested due to the negative
performance of the reference asset and the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia. As used in this pricing supplement, the "Bank," "we," "us" or "our" refers to The
Bank of Nova Scotia. The notes will not be listed on any U.S. securities exchange or automated quotation system.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/9631/000091412119003144/bn54327481-424b2.htm[11/20/2019 3:56:46 PM]

The return on your notes will relate to the price return of the reference asset and will not include a total return or dividend component. The notes are derivative
products based on the performance of the reference asset. The notes do not constitute a direct investment in any of the shares, units or other securities
represented by the reference asset. By acquiring the notes, you will not have a direct economic or other interest in, claim or entitlement to, or any legal or beneficial
ownership of any such share, unit or security and will not have any rights as a shareholder, unitholder or other security holder of any of the issuers including,
without limitation, any voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions.
Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. ("SCUSA"), our affiliate, has agreed to purchase the notes from us for distribution to other registered broker dealers or has offered the
notes directly to investors. SCUSA or any of its affiliates or agents may use this pricing supplement in market-making transactions in notes after their initial sale.
Unless we, SCUSA or another of our affiliates or agents selling such notes to you informs you otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this pricing supplement is being
used in a market-making transaction. See "Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" in this pricing supplement and "Supplemental Plan of
Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" on page PS-36 of the accompanying product prospectus supplement.
The original issue price, commissions and proceeds to the Bank listed above relate to the notes we issue initially. We may decide to sell additional notes after the
date of this pricing supplement, at original issue prices and with commissions and proceeds to the Bank that differ from the amounts set forth above. The return
(whether positive or negative) on your investment in the notes will depend in part on the original issue price you pay for such notes.
Addit iona l I nform a t ion Re ga rding Est im a t e d V a lue of t he N ot e s
On the cover page of this pricing supplement, the Bank has provided the initial estimated value for the notes. The initial estimated value was determined by
reference to the Bank's internal pricing models, which take into consideration certain factors, such as the Bank's internal funding rate on the trade date and the
Bank's assumptions about market parameters. For more information about the initial estimated value, see "Additional Risks" on page P-15.
The economic terms of the notes (including the call premium amounts and maximum payment amount) are based on the Bank's internal funding rate, which is the
rate the Bank would pay to borrow funds through the issuance of similar market-linked notes, the underwriting discount and the economic terms of certain related
hedging arrangements. Due to these factors, the original issue price you pay to purchase the notes is greater than the initial estimated value of the notes. The
Bank's internal funding rate is typically lower than the rate the Bank would pay when it issues conventional fixed rate debt securities as discussed further under
"Additional Risks -- Neither the Bank's nor Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC's ("GS&Co.'s") estimated value of the notes at any time is determined by reference to credit
spreads or the borrowing rate the Bank would pay for its conventional fixed-rate debt securities". The Bank's use of its internal funding rate reduces the economic
terms of the notes to you.
The value of your notes at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted; however, the price (not including GS&Co.'s customary bid and ask spreads)
at which GS&Co. would initially buy or sell notes in the secondary market (if GS&Co. makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) and the value that GS&Co.
will initially use for account statements and otherwise is equal to approximately GS&Co.'s estimate of the market value of your notes on the trade date, based on its
pricing models and taking into account the Bank's internal funding rate, plus an additional amount (initially equal to $35.00 per $1,000 principal amount).
Prior to February 18, 2020, the price (not including GS&Co.'s customary bid and ask spreads) at which GS&Co. would buy or sell your notes (if it makes a market,
which it is not obligated to do) will equal approximately the sum of (a) the then-current estimated value of your notes (as determined by reference to GS&Co.'s
pricing models) plus (b) any remaining additional amount (the additional amount will decline to zero on a straight-line basis from the time of pricing through
February 17, 2020). On and after February 18, 2020, the price (not including GS&Co.'s customary bid and ask spreads) at which GS&Co. would buy or sell your
notes (if it makes a market) will equal approximately the then-current estimated value of your notes determined by reference to such pricing models. For additional
information regarding the value of your notes shown in your GS&Co. account statements and the price at which GS&Co. would buy or sell your notes (if GS&Co.
makes a market, which it is not obligated to do), each based on GS&Co.'s pricing models; see "Additional Risks -- The price at which GS&Co. would buy or sell
your notes (if GS&Co. makes a market, which it is not obligated to do) will be based on GS&Co.'s estimated value of your notes".

Delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on the 7th business day following the date of pricing
of the notes (this settlement cycle being referred to as "T+7"). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days ("T+2"),
unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the
notes on or prior to the second business day before delivery of the notes will be required, by virtue of the fact that
each note initially will settle in seven business days (T+7), to specify alternative settlement arrangements to
prevent a failed settlement.

The valuation date could be delayed by the occurrence of a market disruption event. See "General Terms of the

If a market disruption event occurs or is continuing on any call observation date or such day is not a trading day,
then such call observation date will be postponed to the first following trading day on which the calculation agent
determines that no market disruption event occurs or is continuing. If a market disruption event occurs or is
continuing on each trading day to and including the seventh trading day following the originally scheduled call
observation date, then that seventh trading day will be deemed to be the applicable call observation date and the
closing level for such call observation date will be determined (or, if not determinable, estimated) by the calculation
agent on that seventh trading day, regardless of the occurrence or continuation of a market disruption event on
that day. In such an event, the calculation agent will make an estimate of the closing level that would have
prevailed in the absence of the market disruption event.



Ca ll Pa ym e nt Da t e s:

The dates specified as such in the table set forth under "--Call Observation Dates" above or, if any such day is
not a business day, the next following business day. If a call observation date is postponed as described under "--
Call Observation Dates" above, the related call payment date will also be postponed by the same number of
trading days as that call observation date.



Princ ipa l a t Risk :

You may lose all or a substantial portion of your initial investment at maturity if there is a percentage decrease of
more than 10.00% from the initial level to the final level.



Purc ha se a t a m ount ot he r

The amount we will pay you upon an automatic call or at maturity will not be adjusted based on the original issue
t ha n princ ipa l a m ount :
price you pay for your notes, so if you acquire notes at a premium (or discount) to the principal amount and hold
them to the maturity date or, if the notes are automatically called, the applicable call payment date, it could affect
your investment in a number of ways. The return on your investment in such notes will be lower (or higher) than it
would have been had you purchased the notes at the principal amount. If you purchase your notes at a premium to
the principal amount, if the notes are not automatically called and the final level is less than the buffer level you
will incur a greater percentage decrease in your investment in the notes than would have been the case if you had
purchased the notes at the principal amount. Similarly, the maximum payment amount if the notes are not
automatically called, or the applicable call premium amount if the notes are automatically called, will permit a lower
positive return than indicated below, relative to your initial investment. See "Additional Risks--If you purchase your
notes at a premium to the principal amount, the return on your investment will be lower than the return on notes

purchased at the principal amount and the impact of certain key terms of the notes will be negatively affected" on
page P-20 of this pricing supplement.
P-4

Fe e s a nd Ex pe nse s:

As part of the distribution of the notes, SCUSA or one of our other affiliates has agreed to sell the notes to
GS&Co. at a discount reflecting commissions of $25.00 per $1,000 principal amount of notes. The commissions
per $1,000 principal amount are comprised of $2.50 of fees and $22.50 of selling commission. See "Supplemental
Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" in this pricing supplement.

The price at which you purchase the notes includes costs that the Bank or its affiliates expect to incur and profits
that the Bank or its affiliates expect to realize in connection with hedging activities related to the notes, as set forth
below under "Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)". These costs and profits will likely reduce
the secondary market price, if any secondary market develops, for the notes. As a result, you may experience an
immediate and substantial decline in the market value of your notes on the trade date. See "Additional Risks--
Hedging activities by the Bank and GS&Co. may negatively impact investors in the notes and cause our respective
interests and those of our clients and counterparties to be contrary to those of investors in the notes" in this pricing
supplement.
Aut om a t ic Ca ll Fe a t ure :

If a redemption event occurs on any call observation date, then the notes will be automatically redeemed in whole
and we will pay an amount in cash on the corresponding call payment date, for each $1,000 principal amount of
the notes, equal to the sum of (i) $1,000 plus (ii) the product of $1,000 times the applicable call premium amount
specified under "--Call Observation Dates" above. Following an automatic call, no further payments will be made
on the notes.



Re de m pt ion Eve nt :

A redemption event will occur if the closing level of the reference asset on any call observation date is equal to or
greater than the initial level.



Pa ym e nt a t M a t urit y:

If the notes are not automatically called, for each $1,000 principal amount of your notes, we will pay you on the
maturity date an amount in cash equal to:





o If the final level is equal to or greater than the buffer level, the maximum payment amount; or
o If the final level is less than the buffer level, $1,000 + [$1,000 x buffer rate x (percentage change + buffer
amount)]
In this case you will suffer a percentage loss on your initial investment equal to the buffer rate multiplied
by the negative percentage change in excess of the buffer amount. Accordingly, you could lose up to
100% of your initial investment.
P-5
Closing Le ve l:

As used herein, the "closing level" of the reference asset on any date will be determined based upon the closing
level published on the Bloomberg Professional® service ("Bloomberg") page "RTY <Index>" or any successor page
on Bloomberg or any successor service, as applicable, on such date. Currently, whereas the sponsor publishes
the official closing level of the reference asset to six decimal places, Bloomberg reports the closing level to fewer
decimal places. As a result, the closing level of the reference asset reported by Bloomberg may be lower or higher
than the official closing level of the reference asset published by the sponsor.
In certain special circumstances, the closing level will be determined by the calculation agent, in its discretion. See
"--Call Observation Dates" above, "General Terms of the Notes--Unavailability of the Level of the Reference
Asset on a Valuation Date" beginning on page PS-19 in the accompanying product prospectus supplement and
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/9631/000091412119003144/bn54327481-424b2.htm[11/20/2019 3:56:46 PM]

which these notes are a part. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this pricing supplement will have the meanings given to them in the product prospectus
supplement. In the event of any conflict between this pricing supplement and any of the foregoing, the following hierarchy will govern: first, this pricing supplement;

The examples set out below are included for illustration purposes only. They should not be taken as an indication or prediction of future investment results and are
intended merely to illustrate the impact that the various hypothetical closing levels and final levels of the reference asset on a call observation date and on the
valuation date, respectively, could have on the amount payable upon an automatic call or the payment at maturity, as the case may be, assuming all other
variables remain constant.

The examples below are based on a range of closing levels that are entirely hypothetical; the level of the reference asset on any day throughout the life of the
notes, including the closing level on any call observation date or the final level on the valuation date, cannot be predicted. The reference asset has been highly
volatile in the past, meaning that the level of the reference asset has changed considerably in relatively short periods, and its performance cannot be predicted for
any future period.

The information in the following examples reflects hypothetical rates of return on the offered notes assuming that they are purchased on the original issue date at
the principal amount and held to the call payment date upon an automatic call or the maturity date, as the case may be. If you sell your notes in a secondary
market prior to an automatic call or the maturity date, as the case may be, your return will depend upon the market value of your notes at the time of sale, which
may be affected by a number of factors that are not reflected in the examples below, such as interest rates, the volatility of the reference asset and our
creditworthiness. In addition, the estimated value of your notes at the time the terms of your notes were set on the trade date (as determined by reference to
pricing models used by us) is less than the original issue price of your notes. For more information on the estimated value of your notes, see "Additional Risks--
The Bank's initial estimated value of the notes at the time of pricing (when the terms of your notes were set on the trade date) is lower than the original issue price
of the notes" on page P-15 of this pricing supplement. The information in the examples also reflect the key terms and assumptions in the box below.

The actual performance of the reference asset over the life of your notes, as well as the amount payable upon an automatic call or at maturity, if any, may bear
little relation to the hypothetical examples shown below or to the historical levels of the reference asset shown elsewhere in this pricing supplement. For information
about the historical levels of the reference asset, see "Information Regarding the Reference Asset--Historical Information" below.
Also, the hypothetical examples shown below do not take into account the effects of applicable taxes. Because of the U.S. tax treatment applicable to your notes,
tax liabilities could affect the after-tax rate of return on your notes to a comparatively greater extent than the after-tax return on the reference asset constituent
stocks.

The examples below show hypothetical payments that we would pay on a call payment date with respect to each $1,000.00 principal amount of the notes if the
closing level of the reference asset is greater than or equal to the initial level on the applicable call observation date.

the first call observation date were determined to be 115.000% of the initial level, your notes would be automatically called and the amount that we would pay on
your notes on the corresponding call payment date would be 106.600% of the principal amount of your notes or $1,066.00 for each $1,000.00 principal amount of

amount of your notes on the corresponding call payment date would be the sum of $1,000.00 plus the product of the applicable call premium amount times
$1,000.00. If, for example, the closing level of the reference asset on the second call observation date were determined to be 125.000% of the initial level, your
notes would be automatically called and the amount that we would pay on your notes on the corresponding call payment date would be 113.200% of the principal
amount of your notes or $1,132.00 for each $1,000.00 principal amount of your notes.

asset is less than the initial level), the payment at maturity we would pay for each $1,000.00 principal amount of your notes will depend on the performance of the
reference asset on the valuation date, as shown in the table below. The table below assumes that t he not e s ha ve not be e n a ut om a t ic a lly c a lle d on

hypothetical final levels and are expressed as percentages of the initial level. The amounts in the right column of the table below represent the hypothetical payment
at maturity, based on the corresponding hypothetical final level, and are expressed as percentages of the principal amount of a note (rounded to the nearest one-
thousandth of a percent). Thus, a hypothetical payment at maturity of 100.000% means that the value of the cash payment that we would pay for each $1,000.00 of
the outstanding principal amount of the offered notes on the maturity date would equal 100.000% of the principal amount of a note, based on the corresponding
hypothetical final level and the assumptions noted above.

If, for example, the notes have not been automatically called and the final level were determined to be 25.000% of the initial level, the payment at maturity that we
would pay on your notes would be approximately 27.778% of the principal amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you purchased your
notes on the original issue date at the principal amount and held them to the maturity date, you would lose approximately 72.222% of your investment (if you
purchased your notes at a premium to the principal amount you would lose a correspondingly higher percentage of your investment). If the final level were
determined to be 0.000% of the initial level, you would lose 100.000% of your investment in the notes. In addition, if the final level were determined to be 150.000%
of the initial level, the payment at maturity that we would pay on your notes would be limited to the maximum payment amount, or 119.800% of each $1,000
principal amount of your notes, as shown in the table above. As a result, if you held your notes to maturity, you would not benefit from any increase in the level of
the reference asset beyond a return represented by the maximum payment amount.
Any payment on the notes, including any repayment of principal, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Bank. If the Bank were to default on its
payment obligations, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the notes and you could lose your entire investment.
The amounts payable on the notes upon an automatic call or at maturity shown above are entirely hypothetical; they are based on hypothetical levels of the
reference asset that may not be achieved on a call observation date or on the valuation date and on assumptions that may prove to be erroneous. The actual
market value of your notes on the maturity date or at any other time, including any time you may wish to sell your notes, may bear little relation to the hypothetical
payments upon an automatic call or at maturity shown above, and these amounts should not be viewed as an indication of the financial return on an investment in
the offered notes. The hypothetical payments upon an automatic call or at maturity on the notes held to a call payment date or the maturity date in the examples
above assume you purchased your notes at their principal amount and have not been adjusted to reflect the actual original issue price you pay for your notes. The
return on your investment (whether positive or negative) in your notes will be affected by the amount you pay for your notes. If you purchase your notes for a price
other than the principal amount, the return on your investment will differ from, and may be significantly lower than, the hypothetical returns suggested by the above

less than the amount for which they were originally purchased" on page P-20 of this pricing supplement.
P-13
Payments on the notes are economically equivalent to the amounts that would be paid on a combination of other instruments. For example, payments on the notes
are economically equivalent to a combination of an interest-bearing bond bought by the holder and one or more options entered into between the holder and us
(with one or more implicit option premiums paid over time). The discussion in this paragraph does not modify or affect the terms of the notes or the U.S. federal
income tax treatment of the notes, as described elsewhere in this pricing supplement.
We cannot predict the actual closing level of the reference asset on a call observation date or the valuation date or what the market value of your notes

will be on any particular trading day, nor can we predict the relationship between the level of the reference asset and the market value of your notes at
any time prior to the maturity date. The actual amount that you will receive, if any, upon an automatic call or at maturity and the rate of return on the
offered notes will depend on the actual final level, which will be determined by the calculation agent as described above. Moreover, the assumptions on
which the hypothetical returns are based may turn out to be inaccurate. Consequently, the amount of cash to be paid in respect of your notes, if any, on
a call payment date or on the maturity date may be very different from the information reflected in the examples above.

An investment in the notes involves significant risks. In addition to the following risks included in this pricing supplement, we urge you to read "Additional Risk
Factors Specific to the Notes" beginning on page PS-6 of the accompanying product prospectus supplement and "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-2 of the
accompanying prospectus supplement and page 5 of the accompanying prospectus.
You should understand the risks of investing in the notes and should reach an investment decision only after careful consideration, with your advisors, of the
suitability of the notes in light of your particular financial circumstances and the information set forth in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus,
accompanying prospectus supplement and accompanying product prospectus supplement.

The Bank's initial estimated value of the notes is only an estimate. The original issue price of the notes exceeds the Bank's initial estimated value. The difference
between the original issue price of the notes and the Bank's initial estimated value reflects costs associated with selling and structuring the notes, as well as
hedging its obligations under the notes with a third party.

The Bank's initial estimated value of the notes and GS&Co.'s estimated value of the notes at any time are determined by reference to the Bank's internal funding
rate. The internal funding rate used in the determination of the estimated value of the notes generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for the Bank's
conventional fixed-rate debt securities and the borrowing rate the Bank would pay for its conventional fixed-rate debt securities. This discount is based on, among
other things, the Bank's view of the funding value of the notes as well as the higher issuance, operational and ongoing liability management costs of the notes in
comparison to those costs for the Bank's conventional fixed-rate debt. If the interest rate implied by the credit spreads for the Bank's conventional fixed-rate debt
securities, or the borrowing rate the Bank would pay for its conventional fixed-rate debt securities were to be used, the Bank would expect the economic terms of
the notes to be more favorable to you. Consequently, the use of an internal funding rate for the notes increases the estimated value of the notes at any time and
has an adverse effect on the economic terms of the notes.

GS& Co.'s) e st im a t e s
The Bank's initial estimated value of the notes was determined by reference to its internal pricing models when the terms of the notes were set. These pricing
models consider certain factors, such as the Bank's internal funding rate on the trade date, the expected term of the notes, market conditions and other relevant
factors existing at that time, and the Bank's assumptions about market parameters, which can include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors.
Different pricing models and assumptions (including the pricing models and assumptions used by GS&Co.) could provide valuations for the notes that are different,
and perhaps materially lower, from the Bank's initial estimated value. Therefore, the price at which GS&Co. would buy or sell your notes (if GS&Co. makes a
market, which it is not obligated to do) may be materially lower than the Bank's initial estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors in
the future may change, and any assumptions may prove to be incorrect.
