The Bank of Nova Scotia priced senior, equity-linked, auto-callable notes tied to the common stock of CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (starting price $442.03) with an issue date of March 16, 2026 and stated maturity of March 16, 2028. Each security has a face amount of $1,000 and a contingent quarterly coupon at 11.20% per annum payable only if the Underlying Stock closes at or above the coupon threshold ($265.218, 60% of starting price) on each calculation day. The securities can be automatically called on quarterly calculation days if the stock closes at or above the call threshold ($353.624, 80% of starting price), in which case holders receive face amount plus a final contingent coupon. If not called, maturity payout depends on the ending price relative to the downside threshold ($221.015, 50% of starting price); an ending price below that level results in proportional loss of principal. The Bank's estimated value at pricing was $962.72 per security.
