The Bank of Nova Scotia offers $12,784,000 of Autocallable Digital Buffer Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation. The Notes are senior, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Bank and payments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
Key economic terms: Principal Amount $1,000 per Note; Trade Date March 13, 2026; Original Issue Date March 18, 2026; Maturity Date March 16, 2028. The Notes carry an automatic call feature with a $253.50 call premium (25.35%) if the Review Date closing value equals or exceeds the Initial Value of $180.25.
If not called, the Payment at Maturity pays $1,000 plus the greater of the Digital Return (50.70%) or the Reference Asset Return, provided the Final Value is at or above the Initial Value. A Buffer equal to 20.00% (Buffer Value $144.20) protects the first 20% of decline; losses beyond that are magnified by a Downside Leverage Factor of 1.25, producing a loss of 1.25% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the buffer. The Notes pay no coupons and may result in loss of principal up to 100%.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,980,000 aggregate principal of Dual Directional Capped Buffered Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on March 16, 2028. The notes pay no interest and pay a cash amount at maturity based on the Final Value of the index versus the Initial Value (Initial Value: 6,632.19).
If the Final Value is at or above the Initial Value, holders receive the positive index performance up to a Maximum Upside Return of 19.85% (maximum payment $1,198.50 per $1,000). If the Final Value is between the Initial Value and the Buffer Value (80.00% of Initial), holders receive a positive payment equal to the absolute decline. If the Final Value is below the Buffer Value, losses apply at a Downside Leverage Factor of 1.25, so holders lose 1.25% of principal for each 1% decline beyond 20% and may lose up to 100% of principal.
