The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with a term expected to be approximately 23 to 26 months. The notes pay no interest and at maturity will return either the principal or principal plus the index return subject to a capped maximum payment amount (expected between $1,092.10 and $1,108.10 per $1,000 principal). Payments depend solely on the final level on the valuation date, are unsecured obligations of the Bank and are subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The initial estimated value is below the original issue price, and distribution involves dealer commissions and hedging-related costs that may reduce secondary-market values.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $877,000 of Buffered Index‑Linked Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index due June 1, 2027. The notes trade date was February 26, 2026 with an initial level of 6,908.86 and a valuation date of May 26, 2027. Each note has $1,000 principal, an original issue price of 100.00%, an initial estimated value of $967.61 and proceeds to the Bank of $859,460.00.
Key economic terms: a 10.00% buffer (you absorb losses only if the final level falls more than 10.00% from the initial level), a maximum upside payment of $1,087.50 per $1,000 principal (cap at 108.75%), and potential loss up to 90.00% of principal. Payments are based on the closing level only on the valuation date and are unsecured obligations of the Bank, so repayments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering capped buffered enhanced participation notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index totaling $445,000.

For each $1,000 principal, the participation rate is 150.00% of positive index performance subject to a $1,200 maximum payment (120.00%). A buffer of 10.00% protects against declines up to that amount; losses beyond the buffer reduce principal dollar-for-dollar such that holders could lose up to 90.00% of principal. The notes are unsecured senior obligations of the Bank, do not pay interest, are not listed, and any payment depends on the Bank’s creditworthiness.

If called, holders receive $1,000 plus a 10.75% call premium per $1,000. If not called, maturity payoffs depend on the least performing reference asset: positive payoff uses a 250.00% participation rate on gains; full principal is returned if the final level of each reference asset is >= 75.00% of its initial level; below that the investor bears the full downside, potentially losing up to the entire principal.
