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.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $500,000 of Autocallable Digital Trigger Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® (initial level 2,414.006) and the S&P 500® (initial level 6,343.72). The notes mature April 5, 2029, but will be automatically called on March 30, 2027 if each index closes at or above its initial level, in which case holders receive $1,000 plus a 12.25% call premium per $1,000 (call payment April 2, 2027). 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 Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is issuing Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the shares of the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF (SMH) with $271,000 aggregate principal and $1,000 denomination. 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.
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 initial level (strike date March 31, 2026) is 6,528.52. If the final level on the valuation date (May 11, 2027) is at least 90.00% of the initial level, holders receive a capped payment of $1,116.00 per $1,000.

Notes pay no interest, are unsecured obligations of the Bank, are not listed, and carry issuer credit risk. 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.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,754,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due April 2, 2029 linked to the common stock of KKR & Co. Inc. The notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Bank and pay contingent $50.00 coupons (20.00% per annum) only if the Reference Asset meets barrier tests on scheduled observation dates. The notes may be automatically called early if the Reference Asset closes at or above the Initial Value on any Call Observation Date. If not called, maturity payment depends on the Reference Asset Return relative to a 70.00% barrier: full principal is repaid if the Final Value is at or above $64.75 (70.00% of the Initial Value of $92.50); otherwise investors suffer dollar-for-dollar downside to principal.

If a determination date before maturity meets the call threshold (100.00% of the initial share price), the notes will be automatically redeemed for the stated principal plus applicable contingent coupons. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, the maturity payment is the stated principal multiplied by the share performance factor and can be less than 50.00% of principal or zero; investors bear full credit risk of BNS.
