The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) offers Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due on or about March 18, 2027 linked to the common stock of CoreWeave, Inc.
Each note has a stated principal amount of $1,000.00 and a contingent quarterly coupon of $79.00 (equivalent to 31.60% per annum) payable only when the underlying closing price on a determination date is at least the downside threshold (40.00% of the initial share price). Pricing date is March 13, 2026 and original issue date is March 18, 2026. If not redeemed early, final payment depends on the final share price: if below the downside threshold the maturity payment equals the stated principal multiplied by the share performance factor and may be less than 40.00% of principal, including zero. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced an equity-linked senior note (face amount $1,000) that is auto-callable and linked to the lowest performing common stock of Amazon, Alphabet (Class A) and Tesla. If on any call date the lowest performing stock closes at or above its starting price, the notes will be called and pay the face amount plus a fixed call premium (minimums range from 20.050% on March 18, 2027 up to 100.250% on March 13, 2031). If not called, holders receive $1,000 at maturity provided the lowest performing stock on the final calculation day is at or above its 50% threshold; otherwise holders have 1-to-1 downside beyond the 50% buffer and may lose up to 50% of the face amount. The Bank's estimated value at pricing is between $886.86 (88.686%) and - $916.86 (91.686%), and all payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $2,443,000 of Digital Notes linked to the MSCI EAFE® Index maturing on March 3, 2028. The notes pay no interest; payment at maturity depends solely on the index performance from March 3, 2026 (trade date) to March 1, 2028 (valuation date).
Holders receive a maximum payment of $1,154.00 per $1,000 if the final level is ≥ 87.50% of the initial level (initial level 2,996.64). If the final level is below 87.50%, losses accelerate: the buffer rate is approximately 114.29%, so losses can reach 100% of principal. The notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Bank, not listed, and subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The Bank’s initial estimated value was $988.70 per $1,000, below the original issue price of 100%.

The Notes can be automatically called on the Review Date (March 8, 2027) for a cash payment equal to principal plus a $216.30 Call Premium (21.63%). If not called, payoff at maturity depends on the Final Basket Value versus the Initial Basket Value: a fixed 43.26% Digital Return or 150.00% participation in positive Basket performance, full principal if the Final Basket Value is at least 85.00% of initial, and leveraged downside exposure (approx. 1.1765% loss per 1% fall beyond the 15% buffer).
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index. The notes pay no interest, have a $1,000 principal per note and an expected term of approximately 23 to 26 months. The payment at maturity is based solely on the S&P 500 price return from the trade date to the valuation date and is capped: the maximum payment amount is expected to be between $1,092.10 and $1,108.10 per $1,000 principal. If the final level is equal to or below the initial level, investors receive only the principal. The original issue price is 100% with underwriting commissions of 1.30% (i.e., $13.00 per $1,000). The Bank’s initial estimated value range is $950.42 to $980.42 per $1,000. All payments are subject to the creditworthiness of the Bank; the notes will not be listed and may have limited liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering senior, unsecured market-linked notes linked to the lowest performing share of Apple, Alphabet Class C and NVIDIA that mature April 5, 2029 (stated maturity) and are callable on April 5, 2027. The securities have a $1,000 face amount, an original offering price of $1,000 and a call premium of $500 (a 50.00% return) if the lowest performing underlying stock equals or exceeds a call threshold of 90.00% of its starting price on the call date. If not called, the maturity payment depends solely on the ending price of the lowest performing underlying stock: you may receive at least a leveraged positive return at an upside participation rate of at least 325% if that stock finishes above its starting price; receive the face amount if it finishes between 80% and 100% of its starting price; or incur full downside exposure if it finishes below 80%, potentially losing more than 20% or all principal. The Bank’s estimated value at pricing is between $880.00 and $894.38 per security; this estimate is lower than the offering price because it excludes selling spreads and projected hedging profits. All payments are subject to the credit risk of the Bank.
