The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing 6,245,923 Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes® linked to the S&P 500® Index due March 31, 2028. The notes offer 2-to-1 upside participation subject to a 20.16% cap, a 90.00% threshold (you receive principal if Index decline ≤10.00%), and 1-to-1 downside beyond that threshold. Pricing date was March 26, 2026; settlement April 2, 2026. Public offering price is $10.00 per unit (initial estimated value $9.64). Payments at maturity are subject to BNS credit risk; no periodic interest; limited secondary market liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $3,677,000 of Senior Note Program, Series A equity-linked securities (face amount $1,000 per security). These market-linked, auto-callable securities are linked to the lowest performing of Amazon, Microsoft and Oracle and may be automatically called after approximately one year for a $455 call premium per $1,000 face amount.
If not called, maturity payoffs depend solely on the lowest performing underlying stock: a 350% upside participation applies to positive returns; an absolute value return (capped at 50%) applies for declines up to 50%; declines below 50% expose holders to full downside, possibly losing most or all principal. The Bank’s estimated value at pricing was $887.86 per security, and all payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $22,809,700 of Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index. The Securities have a trade date of March 27, 2026, expected settlement March 31, 2026, an observation date of April 1, 2027 and maturity on March 31, 2031. If the Index on the observation date is at or above the autocall barrier (the initial level of 5,505.80), the notes will be automatically called and pay a call price equal to principal plus an 18.00% call return (call price $11.80 per $10 Security). If not called, positive returns at maturity are multiplied by an upside gearing of 1.88, but if the final level is below the downside threshold (4,129.35, 75.00% of the initial level) investors absorb the negative underlying return and may lose a large portion or all of principal. The initial estimated value was $9.63 per $10 Security versus an issue price of $10.00, and all payments are subject to BNS credit risk.

Call Amounts are $11.086, $12.172 and $13.258 per unit on the first, second and final Observation Dates respectively. If not called, holders face 1-for-1 downside exposure to the Index and may lose part or all principal; all payments are subject to BNS credit risk.
