The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering digital notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with a term expected to be approximately 21 to 24 months. Each note has a principal amount of $1,000, will not bear interest, and pays at maturity based on the index performance on the valuation date.
If the final index level is ≥ 87.50% of the initial level, holders will receive the maximum payment amount (expected to be between $1,139.40 and $1,163.90 per $1,000). If the final level is below 87.50% of the initial level, the notes provide a partial buffer but expose holders to amplified downside: the buffer rate is approximately 114.29%, and investors may lose up to 100% of principal. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $958.40 and $988.40 per $1,000, while the original issue price is 100%. All payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with an expected term of approximately 22 to 25 months (trade date and final economics to be set on the trade date). For each $1,000 principal amount: if the final level is ≥ 85.00% of the initial level you receive a capped threshold settlement amount (expected between $1,136.10 and $1,159.60); if the final level is below 85.00% you incur losses calculated using a buffer rate of approximately 117.65%, potentially losing up to 100% of principal. The notes pay no interest, are unsecured senior obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not listed, and payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The Bank’s initial estimated value range is $934.24 to $964.24 per $1,000, while the original issue price is 100.00%. Distribution fees include selling commissions of $15.00 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia offers $721,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to UnitedHealth Group common stock due April 14, 2027. Each $1,000 note pays a contingent monthly coupon of $10.625 if the reference stock closes at or above a 69.00% coupon barrier (initial price $285.17). Observation dates occur monthly from April 2026 through April 9, 2027. The notes will be automatically called on any call observation date from September 2026 through March 2027 if the closing price equals or exceeds the initial price, in which case holders receive $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called, final payment at maturity depends on the final price: if the final price is below 69.00% of the initial price, principal is reduced proportionally to the reference asset return and holders receive no contingent coupon. The Bank disclosed an initial estimated value of $966.40 per $1,000, below the original issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Digital Basket-Linked Notes tied to a weighted basket of five international indices with a term expected to be approximately 33 to 36 months. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, pays no interest and has an original issue price of 100%. If the final basket level is at or above the initial level you will receive at least the threshold settlement amount (expected between $1,217.40 and $1,255.70 per $1,000). If the final basket level falls up to 15.00% below the initial level you receive your principal; declines beyond 15.00% expose you to losses, with a buffer rate of approximately 117.65% determining the downside (you may lose up to 100% of principal). The initial estimated value at pricing is expected to be between $946.00 and $976.00 per $1,000, which is lower than the original issue price. Payments depend on the Bank's creditworthiness and there will be no listing or dividend component; liquidity and secondary-market pricing are limited.
