The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the least performing of the shares of the iShares MSCI EAFE ETF and the EURO STOXX 50 Index maturing on May 5, 2028.
Key terms: original issue price 100%; participation rate expected to be at least 154.00%; buffer level 90.00% (buffer percentage 10.00%); holders may lose up to 90.00% of principal. Trade date expected April 30, 2026; valuation date expected May 2, 2028. Initial estimated value range: $925.00 to $965.00 per $1,000 principal amount. Payments at maturity depend on the least performing reference asset and are subject to the Bank's credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior, unsecured, auto-callable, ETF-linked notes with a $1,000 face amount per security linked to the lowest performing of XLF, XLK and XLU. The pricing date is March 24, 2026, issue date March 27, 2026, and stated maturity March 29, 2029.
If on any call date the lowest performing Fund’s fund closing price is greater than or equal to its starting price, the notes are automatically called and pay the face amount plus a fixed call premium (first call premium 18.50%, increasing to 55.50% on the final call date). If not called, maturity payment depends on the ending price of the lowest performing Fund: you receive $1,000 if that Fund’s ending price is ≥60% of its starting price, otherwise you receive $1,000 × performance factor and may lose more than 40%, possibly all, of the face amount.
The Bank’s estimated value per security on the pricing date was $910.01 versus an original offering price of $1,000. Distribution involves Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, with agent discounts and selling concessions reflected in proceeds.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF (reference asset). Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, an expected trade date of April 29, 2026, expected original issue date May 4, 2026, and expected maturity on August 3, 2027. Observation dates occur quarterly beginning July 2026. A coupon barrier and trigger price equal 70.00% of the initial price. If a call observation date closing price is >= initial price, the notes are automatically called and pay principal plus the contingent coupon; contingent coupons accrue based on a fixed amount of at least $31.00 per observation-date multiple. If not called, maturity payoff equals $1,000 if the final price is >= the trigger price, or $1,000 plus $1,000×reference asset return (which can result in losing up to 100% of principal). Initial estimated value is between $925.00 and $965.00 per $1,000; original issue price is 100% of principal. Payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia issues capped buffered index-linked notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® and the S&P 500® (BNS). The notes have a $1,000 principal amount per note, an original issue price of 100%, an expected trade date of April 30, 2026, an expected original issue date of May 5, 2026, an expected valuation date of November 1, 2027 and an expected maturity date of November 4, 2027.
The notes pay no interest. They provide a 120.00% participation rate in the absolute return of the least performing reference asset subject to a capped maximum upside (expected to be at least $1,310.00 per $1,000). A 10.00% buffer applies: if the least performing reference asset falls below 90.00% of its initial level, losses apply and investors may lose up to 90.00% of principal. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Index-Linked Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, expected to trade on April 30, 2026 and mature on August 4, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, will not bear interest and pays at maturity based on the S&P 500 price return from the initial level to the valuation date (expected July 30, 2027).
The notes provide a 10.00% buffer (you are protected at maturity against losses up to 10.00%), cap positive participation at a maximum upside payment amount expected to be at least $1,142.50 per $1,000 (≈114.25% of principal) and expose investors to losses beyond the buffer (you may lose up to 90.00% of principal). The initial estimated value is between $925.00 and $965.00 per $1,000, while the original issue price is 100.00%. Payments depend on the Bank's creditworthiness and there may be little or no secondary market.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the VanEck® Semiconductor ETF. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, an expected trade date of April 30, 2026 and an expected maturity date of August 4, 2027. Contingent coupons accrue only if the ETF closes at or above a 70.00% coupon barrier on observation dates; notes will be automatically called if the ETF closes at or above the initial price on any call observation date (Oct 2026–Apr 2027). If the final price is below 70.00% of the initial price, holders suffer losses equal to the negative reference asset return and could lose their entire investment. The initial estimated value at pricing is expected to be between $925.00 and $965.00 per $1,000 principal amount; original issue price is 100%. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and subject to its creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Trigger Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 and the Russell 2000. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, an expected trade date of April 30, 2026, an expected call observation date of April 30, 2027, and an expected maturity date of May 4, 2028.
If the closing level of both reference assets on the call observation date is at or above their initial levels, the notes will be automatically called and pay principal plus a call premium (expected to be at least 18.00%). If not called, maturity payments depend on the least performing reference asset: a positive payment equals principal plus the least performing return times a 250.00% participation rate; if the least performing asset falls below 75.00% of its initial level, you will suffer a proportional loss of principal, potentially up to 100% of invested principal. Payments are subject to the Bank's creditworthiness.

Key economic terms expected on the trade date: trade date April 30, 2026, valuation date May 1, 2028, maturity May 4, 2028, and a threshold/maximum payment amount expected to be at least $1,120.00 per $1,000 principal amount if each reference asset finishes at or above its initial level. If the final level of any reference asset is below its initial level, the payment at maturity will equal the principal amount ($1,000), producing a zero return. The initial estimated value on the trade date is expected to be between $925.00 and $965.00 per $1,000 principal amount. All payments are subject to the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia and the notes will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index due on or about April 1, 2031. The Notes have a $10 principal per Note (minimum investment $1,000), trade date March 27, 2026 and expected settlement March 31, 2026.
The Notes are quarterly automatic-callable (callable after 12 months) if the closing level on an observation date is at or above the call threshold (the initial level). The disclosed call return rate range is 8.50%–9.15% per annum; the downside threshold is 75.00% of the initial level. If not called and the final level is below the downside threshold, payment at maturity equals $10 × (1 + underlying return), which can produce a substantial loss, including total loss. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk.

The notes are non‑interest bearing, callable early on the expected call observation date of April 29, 2027 if each index closes at or above its initial level; the minimum call premium is 10.25%. If not called, maturity payoff depends on the least performing reference asset: full principal is returned if each final level is ≥ 85.00% of its initial level; otherwise losses are proportional to the least performing reference asset return and could reach 100.00% of principal. The threshold settlement amount is $1,400.00 per $1,000 principal amount. The initial estimated value range is $925.00–$965.00 per $1,000; original issue price is 100.00%.
