The Bank of Nova Scotia issues $64,918,000 of Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index due February 28, 2028. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and was priced at 100% of principal. The trade date was February 24, 2026 and the valuation date is February 24, 2028. The initial level of the S&P 500® Index is 6,890.07. If the final level on the valuation date is equal to or above the initial level, each note will pay a capped $1,080.00 at maturity. If the final level is below the initial level but at or above the buffer level of 67.24% of the initial level, the holder receives $1,000 plus the absolute reference asset return. If the final level is below the buffer level, losses are magnified by a buffer rate of approximately 148.72%, and an investor may lose up to 100% of principal.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $3,788,000 of autocallable contingent coupon trigger notes linked to the common stock of Netflix, Inc., maturing on March 29, 2027.
The notes pay a contingent coupon of $10.00 per $1,000 (1.00% monthly) on any coupon payment date if the closing price on the related observation date is at or above a coupon barrier equal to 68.00% of the initial price ($78.04). Notes are automatically called (redeemed at $1,000 plus the contingent coupon) if on any call observation date the closing price is equal to or greater than the initial price. At maturity, if the final price is below the trigger price (68.00% of the initial price), holders receive the share delivery amount (quotient of $1,000 divided by the initial price) and no contingent coupon, exposing holders to substantial principal loss. Payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
