BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA SEC Filings

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked, auto-callable senior notes linked to the lowest performing of Broadcom Inc. and GE Vernova Inc. The securities have a $1,000 face amount per security, a potential 50.00% call premium if automatically called on April 8, 2027, and a stated maturity of April 5, 2029.

If not called, final payment depends solely on the lowest performing underlying stock: at least a 230% (minimum) upside participation if that stock finishes above its starting price; return of face amount if the lowest performer stays at or above 50% of its starting price; or full downside exposure 50% up to 100%) if it falls below that threshold. All payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk; estimated values range between $889.55 and $919.55 per security on the pricing date.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering U.S. dollar Digital Notes linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index under Registration No. 333-282565. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, an expected term of approximately 25 to 28 months, and pays no periodic interest.

At maturity the notes pay a capped positive return if the final level is >= 85.00% of the initial level (a threshold settlement amount expected between $1,186.40 and $1,219.20 per $1,000). If the final level is below that threshold, losses apply with a buffer rate of approximately 117.65%, and investors may lose up to their entire principal. Payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk and the pricing supplement emphasizes limited liquidity, hedging-related conflicts, and uncertain U.S. and Canadian tax treatment.

The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering Trigger Jump Securities with an auto-callable feature linked to the EURO STOXX 50 Index, issued as Senior Note Program, Series A. Each security has a stated principal amount of $1,000.00, an issue price of $1,000.00, a pricing date of March 31, 2026, an original issue date of April 7, 2026 and a maturity date of April 5, 2032.

The securities pay no coupon and are automatically redeemed early if the index closing value on any determination date (other than the final determination date) is greater than or equal to the initial index value, producing an early redemption payment that corresponds to a return of 10.28% per annum. At maturity, if not earlier redeemed, payments depend on the final index value: $1,616.80 if final ≥ initial, $1,000.00 if final ≥ trigger level, and $1,000.00 + ($1,000.00 × underlying return) if final < trigger level; the trigger level is 70.00% of the initial index value. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk; estimated value at pricing was between $924.94 and $954.94 per security.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering two series of Airbag Autocallable Yield Notes linked to the common stock of AbbVie Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and an expected term of approximately 12 months. Trade date is March 30, 2026 and settlement is March 31, 2026. Coupons are fixed and set on the trade date within ranges: AbbVie 9.30%–10.30% and JPM 9.00%–9.90%, paid monthly. Each Note is subject to an automatic call if the underlying closes at or above the call threshold (100% of initial level) on any observation date. If not called and the final level is below the conversion level (85% of initial), repayment is in shares equal to $1,000 divided by the conversion level, which may be worth less than principal and could result in total loss. Payments depend on BNS creditworthiness and the Notes are not listed; secondary market liquidity may be limited.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index. The notes have an expected term of approximately 25 to 28 months, will pay no interest and are unsecured obligations of the Bank. The participation rate is 300.00%, and the maximum payment amount is expected to be between $1,261.60 and $1,307.50 per $1,000 principal amount. At maturity you receive (i) the principal plus the participation-adjusted positive return up to the maximum payment amount if the final level exceeds the initial level, (ii) principal if levels are unchanged, or (iii) a loss equal to the negative reference asset return (you may lose up to 100% of principal) if the final level is lower. Payments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness; the Bank’s initial estimated value range is $953.70 to $983.70 per $1,000, which is lower than the original issue price. Terms are subject to completion and will be set on the trade date.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $18,885,200 of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Russell 2000 Index due March 29, 2029. The notes pay a contingent coupon of 9.50% per annum only when both underlying indices meet coupon barriers on observation dates, are callable quarterly (first callable after six months), and repay principal at maturity only if each underlying asset is at or above its downside threshold; otherwise repayment at maturity may be reduced pro rata to the decline of the least performing underlying asset, potentially causing significant or total loss. The issue price is $10.00 per note (minimum 100 notes) and the initial estimated value was $9.55 per note. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk and the notes are not listed.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering principal-at-risk, equity-linked senior notes linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc. with an original offering price of $1,000 per security and a per-security proceeds figure to the Bank of $981.75. The notes pay a contingent monthly coupon (coupon threshold = 70% of the starting price) at a contingent coupon rate to be set on the pricing date and at least 19.00% per annum. The notes are auto-callable if the Underlying Stock closes at or above the starting price on any monthly calculation day from October 2026 to March 2027, and mature on April 21, 2027 if not called. If not called, principal protection is conditional: maturity pays $1,000 only if the ending price is at or above the downside threshold (70% of the starting price); otherwise the maturity payment equals $1,000 × (ending price / starting price), exposing holders to losses that can exceed 30%. All payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked, auto-callable senior notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation with a face amount of $1,000 per security. These senior unsecured notes pay monthly contingent coupons at a rate to be set on the pricing date, at least 16.75% per annum, only when the NVIDIA stock closing price on each monthly calculation day is at or above a coupon threshold equal to 70% of the starting price. The notes are subject to automatic call if the stock closing price on any calculation day between October 2026 and March 2027 is at or above the starting price; if called, holders receive the face amount plus a final contingent coupon. If not called, maturity is April 21, 2027, and principal is protected only if the ending price is at least 70% of the starting price; otherwise holders suffer direct downside tied to the stock (losses can exceed 30% and possibly reach $0). The Bank estimated the securities' value on the cover between $943.73 and $973.73 per security. All payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.

Principal repayment at maturity depends on the final price relative to the 67.00% trigger; investors may lose up to their entire investment and are exposed to the Bank's credit risk.
