(the “notes”)
This document (the “supplement”) supplements the Note Prospectus in connection with any secondary market transactions in the notes by us, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., and any of our respective affiliates. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this supplement have the meanings set forth in the Note Prospectus.
The Initial Level for the notes was defined in the final Pricing Supplement dated February 19, 2016 (the “Pricing Supplement”). The Initial Level was defined as the simple average of the Closing Levels of the Reference Asset on each Valuation Date during the Initial Averaging Period. The Initial Averaging Period was defined as the first nine Trading Days (each such Trading Day, a “Valuation Date”) on which no market disruption event occurs or is continuing, beginning on and including the Trade Date.
The final of the nine Trading Days on which no market disruption event occurred or were continuing occurred on March 2, 2016. The simple average of the Closing Levels of the Reference Asset on each Valuation Date during the Initial Averaging Period is 932.04.
Therefore, the Initial Level for the notes is 932.04.
