The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $1,678,000 of Buffered Index-Linked Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index due July 6, 2027. Each $1,000 note pays at maturity based on the S&P 500 price return measured from the trade date of March 30, 2026 to the valuation date of June 30, 2027. The notes feature a 10.00% buffer (90.00% buffer level) that protects against the first 10.00% of a decline but expose holders to losses beyond that point (up to a 90.00% principal loss). Positive participation in index gains is capped at a maximum upside payment amount of $1,092.50 per $1,000 principal amount (i.e., participation capped at 9.25%). The initial estimated value at pricing was $953.63 per $1,000, below the original issue price of 100.00%.
Payments at maturity and any secondary market value are subject to the Bank’s creditworthiness, no interest is paid prior to maturity, and the notes will not be listed on an exchange. The offering proceeds are for general corporate purposes.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with a $1,000 principal amount per note, maturing on May 13, 2027.

The original issue price is 100% and the Bank’s initial estimated value range on the trade date is $960.90 to $990.90 per $1,000.
