Upon the occurrence of a Recourse Event, the noteholder’s sole recourse will be limited to their proportionate share of the Series’ respective assets held in Scotiabank LRCN Trust, a consolidated entity, which consist initially of the respective AT1 Notes or, following an NVCC Trigger Event, common shares.
