The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $2,400,000 of Dual Directional Capped Buffered Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with a Trade Date of February 27, 2026, Original Issue Date March 4, 2026 and maturity on March 2, 2028. Each Note has a $1,000 Principal Amount and an Original Issue Price of 100%.
The notes pay no periodic interest. If the Final Value is ≥ the Initial Value you receive $1,000 plus the Reference Asset Return capped at a 17.79% Maximum Upside Return (maximum payment $1,177.90). If the Final Value is between the Initial Value and the Buffer Value (80.00% of the Initial Value), you receive $1,000 plus the absolute decline. If the Final Value is below the Buffer Value you lose 1.25% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 20.00% buffer, potentially losing up to 100% of principal.
The Bank of Nova Scotia offers Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to the Russell 2000® Index. These senior unsecured notes have a $10 principal per Security and a minimum investment of $1,000. The expected trade date is March 13, 2026 with expected settlement on March 17, 2026.
If the closing level of the Russell 2000 on the observation date is at or above the autocall barrier (equal to the initial level), the notes will be automatically called and pay the call price, comprising principal plus a call return based on a 11.00% call return rate (example call price: $11.10 per Security). If not called, maturity payments depend on the underlying return and an upside gearing set on the trade date (range indicated: 1.51–1.71). The downside threshold is 75.00% of the initial level; if the final level is below that threshold you may suffer losses up to the entire principal. The final valuation date is March 13, 2031 and maturity is March 17, 2031.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,010,000 of Buffered Digital Basket-Linked Notes due February 24, 2028. The notes pay no interest and return at maturity depends on a weighted basket of five international indices measured from the trade date February 25, 2026 to the valuation date February 22, 2028.
For each $1,000 principal amount: if the final basket level ≥ initial level, you receive the greater of the $1,124.00 threshold settlement amount or principal plus the basket return; if the final level declines up to 10.00%, you receive principal; if it declines by more than 10.00%, losses are multiplied by a buffer rate of approximately 111.11%, and you may lose up to your entire investment. The Bank’s initial estimated value was $971.39 per $1,000, below the original issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $4,120,000 of Buffered Enhanced Participation Basket-Linked Notes due February 24, 2028. The notes pay no interest and link maturity payments to a weighted basket of five international indices with a 121.00% participation rate and a 10.00% buffer (buffer level 90.00%). If the final basket level is above the initial level (100), holders receive principal plus participation × basket return; if the final level is down up to 10.00%, holders receive principal; if the final level declines by more than 10.00%, losses accrue at approximately 111.11% of the excess decline, potentially resulting in complete loss of principal. Trade date: February 25, 2026; valuation date: February 22, 2028. The Bank disclosed an initial estimated value of $966.07 per $1,000 principal amount and an original issue price of 100%, with underwriting commissions of 1.50%.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to the Nikkei 225® Index due on or about March 17, 2031. The Securities are U.S. dollar‑denominated senior unsecured notes with a $10 principal amount per Security (minimum investment $1,000). Final terms set on the trade date (March 13, 2026) include a 18.00% call return if automatically called on the observation date (March 18, 2027), upside gearing in the range 1.55–1.75, and a downside threshold equal to 75.00% of the initial level. If not automatically called, payment at maturity (March 17, 2031) depends on the underlying return multiplied by the upside gearing, or could result in a principal loss if the final level is below the downside threshold. The issuer’s initial estimated value is between $9.32 and $9.62 per Security; the issue price is $10.00 with an underwriting discount of $0.25, leaving proceeds to BNS of $9.75 per Security. Key investor considerations: principal is contingent on both index performance and BNS creditworthiness; the Securities may have limited liquidity; hedging and agent conflicts may affect market value.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced market-linked senior notes (equity linked securities) that pay a contingent monthly coupon of $1,000 × 17.20% p.a. (if the lowest-performing underlying closes at or above its coupon threshold) and are linked to the lowest performing of Amazon, Broadcom, Alphabet (Class A) and NVIDIA.
The securities were offered at $1,000 per security with an estimated bank value of $943.07. They are auto-callable if the lowest-performing underlying closes at or above its starting price on any monthly calculation day from May 2026 through January 2029. If not called, maturity is March 1, 2029. Principal protection is conditional: the downside threshold for each stock is 50% of its starting price, and a final ending price below that threshold results in a pro rata loss of principal.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $83,599,500 in Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation due February 28, 2029. The notes have a $10 principal per Security, a minimum investment of $1,000, and were priced on the trade date of February 26, 2026 with settlement on February 27, 2026.
The structure will be automatically called if the underlying closes on the observation date of March 4, 2027 at or above the autocall barrier (the initial level of $184.89), producing a call price of $12.155 (a 21.55% call return). If not called, maturity payoff on February 28, 2029 depends on the underlying return, with 1.42 upside gearing and a downside threshold equal to 50.00% of the initial level ($92.45), meaning investors may lose a substantial portion or all principal depending on final level and on BNS credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering three separate series of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to individual equities: $8,149,600 linked to Emerson Electric Co., $25,791,600 linked to Alphabet Inc., and $2,092,000 linked to PulteGroup, Inc.
Each Note pays a contingent coupon only if the underlying closing level on specified quarterly observation dates meets or exceeds a coupon barrier, is callable early if the closing level meets or exceeds the initial level, and repays principal at maturity only if the final level is at or above the downside threshold; otherwise principal is reduced pro rata to the underlying return. All payments are "subject to the creditworthiness of BNS." Trade date was February 26, 2026 with maturity March 1, 2029.
The Bank of Nova Scotia offers Digital Notes linked to the MSCI EAFE® Index under a Senior Note Program, Series A, through a pricing supplement dated February 27, 2026.
Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, a term expected to be approximately 23 to 26 months, and pays no interest. If the final index level on the valuation date is at least 87.50% of the initial level, holders receive a capped threshold settlement amount (expected between $1,128.60 and $1,151.20 per $1,000). If the final level is below that threshold, losses apply and investors may lose up to their entire principal, with a buffer rate of approximately 114.29% multiplying negative returns beyond the 12.50% threshold. The notes are unsecured obligations of the Bank and are exposed to the Bank’s credit risk, limited secondary market liquidity, currency and non-U.S. market risks, and tax uncertainties.
