The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Barrier Return Enhanced Notes due April 13, 2029, linked to the least performing common stock of Blackstone Inc. and KKR & Co. Inc.. The notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Bank and do not pay interest.
The notes include an automatic call feature on the Review Date (April 16, 2027) if each Reference Asset’s Closing Value is at or above its Call Value, in which case investors receive the Principal Amount plus a Call Premium (at least $293.50 per $1,000). If not called, maturity payoffs depend on the Least Performing Reference Asset, with a 300.00% Participation Rate for positive performance and a 50.00% Barrier (50% of Initial Value) below which investors suffer losses up to 100% of principal. Expected trade and settlement dates are April 10, 2026 and April 15, 2026.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced a series of senior, equity‑linked notes (face $1,000 each) linked to the lowest performing of Costco, Fiserv and JPMorgan, with a 16.10% per annum contingent monthly coupon and an automatic call feature through February 2029. The securities pay monthly contingent coupons only if the lowest performing underlying closes at or above 60% of its starting price on each calculation day; if not called, principal at maturity depends on the lowest performing stock's ending price and can result in losses exceeding 40% of face amount. The Bank's estimated value at pricing was $913.12 per security and the original offering price was $1,000 per security.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index due January 4, 2028. Each $1,000 note pays at maturity an amount tied to the Russell 2000® return from the trade date March 30, 2026 to the valuation date December 30, 2027.
If the final level exceeds the initial level of 2,414.006, holders receive 150.00% of the index return up to a capped payment of $1,210.00 per $1,000. If the final level falls by 10.00% or less, holders receive principal. If the final level falls by more than 10.00%, holders suffer losses equal to the index decline in excess of 10.00% and could lose up to 90.00% of principal. Payments are subject to the Bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering capped enhanced participation notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with $1,000 principal per note and $1,016,000 aggregate initial issue. The notes mature on May 19, 2028 and pay at maturity based on the S&P 500® return from the trade date of March 30, 2026 to the valuation date of May 17, 2028. The participation rate is 300.00% but appreciation is capped: the maximum payment amount is $1,316.50 per $1,000 (cap ≈ 10.55% reference-asset appreciation). If the final level is below the initial level of 6,343.72, investors suffer losses dollar-for-dollar down to 0. Notes pay no coupons, are unsecured obligations of the Bank, and are subject to the Bank’s credit risk. Purchase price equals 100% of principal and the Bank’s initial estimated note value was $986.50 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,018,000 of Capped Buffered Index‑Linked Notes due October 5, 2027, linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® and the S&P 500® (trade date March 30, 2026; valuation date September 30, 2027).
Each $1,000 note participates at 120.00% of the least performing reference asset return, capped at a $1,205.00 maturity payment per $1,000 (≈120.50%). A 90.00% buffer level applies: if a reference asset falls below 90.00% of its initial level you begin to lose principal, and you may lose up to 90.00% of principal. The initial estimated value was $939.79 per $1,000; payments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,404,000 of Autocallable Trigger Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Russell 2000 Index due April 4, 2028. The notes pay no interest and may be automatically redeemed on March 30, 2027 if each reference asset’s closing level is at least its initial level. On an automatic call the payment equals $1,000 plus a 12.50% call premium per $1,000 principal.
If not called, maturity payment depends on the least performing reference asset: a positive payoff uses a 250.00% participation rate on the positive least‑performing return; if the least performer falls below 75.00% of its initial level you incur a dollar‑for‑dollar loss and could lose your entire principal. Payments are unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia and are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.

If not called, maturity payment depends on the least performing index return on April 2, 2029: at or above initial levels holders receive at least a $1,400 threshold settlement per $1,000; if any final level is between 85.00% and 100.00% of its initial level holders receive $1,000; if any final level is below 85.00% holders suffer a pro rata loss tied to the least performing reference asset. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and subject to its credit risk. The Bank’s initial estimated value was $925.53 per $1,000, below the original issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $7,780,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Basket-Linked Notes due March 10, 2028. The notes pay no interest and link redemption to a weighted basket of five international indices measured from the trade date (March 30, 2026) to the valuation date (March 8, 2028). For each $1,000 principal, the notes offer a 200.00% participation rate in positive basket returns subject to a capped maximum payment of $1,296.40. A buffer protects against the first 10.00% of declines (buffer level 90.00%), but losses below that absorb principal at an effective 111.11% rate and can reach 100% of principal. The initial estimated value on the trade date was $971.31, below the original issue price of $1,000. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and depend on its creditworthiness.

The notes pay quarterly contingent coupons (up to 3.00% per quarter) if the reference asset meets a 70.00% coupon barrier on observation dates and are automatically called if the ETF closes at or above the initial price of $362.53 on any call observation date. If not called, maturity is July 6, 2027, and principal is exposed: if the final price is below 70.00% of the initial price, investors suffer a loss equal to the percentage decline in the reference asset, potentially losing the full investment. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and are subject to its credit risk.
