The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of UnitedHealth Group, with a principal amount of $1,000 per note. The notes pay a 1.0625% contingent coupon monthly (up to 12.75% per annum) when the reference stock closes at or above a 69.00% coupon barrier on each observation date.
Observation dates are expected monthly on the 9th from April 2026 through April 2027; call observation dates run September 2026 through March 2027. Expected trade and settlement timing: trade date March 9, 2026, original issue date March 12, 2026, maturity expected April 14, 2027. If a call condition is met, notes redeem at $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called and final price is below the 69.00% trigger, repayment at maturity is reduced pro rata to the reference asset return; investors may lose up to their entire investment. The Bank estimates initial value between $925.00 and $955.00 per $1,000 principal amount.

If not called, maturity payoffs depend on the least performing reference asset: positive returns receive a 250.00% participation on the least performing reference asset return; if any final level is below 75.00% of its initial level, investors suffer losses equal to the negative return of the least performing reference asset and could lose up to their entire investment. The Bank’s initial estimated value is between $925.00 and $965.00 per $1,000 principal, while the original issue price is 100.00%.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due on or about March 9, 2029 linked to the common stock of Robinhood Markets, Inc. The securities have a stated principal amount of $1,000.00 per security and an issue price of $1,000.00 per security. The contingent quarterly coupon equals $53.125 per security (equivalent to 21.25% per annum) when the closing price on a determination date is greater than or equal to the downside threshold (50.00% of the initial share price). Pricing date is March 6, 2026 and original issue date is March 11, 2026. If not auto-redeemed earlier, payment at maturity depends on the final share price: if below the downside threshold, the maturity payment equals the stated principal amount multiplied by the share performance factor and may be less than 50.00% of principal and could be zero. All payments are subject to the credit risk of BNS. The document discloses an estimated initial value range of $926.97 to $956.97 per stated principal amount and distribution fees totaling $22.50 per $1,000 stated principal amount.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced a structured senior note offering of Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Coupon and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk, at an original offering price of $1,000 per security, aggregate $2,237,000.
The notes are linked to the lowest performing common stock of Dell Technologies Inc., General Motors Company and Robinhood Markets, Inc.. They pay a monthly contingent coupon at a rate of 26.50% per annum if the lowest performing underlying closes on a calculation day at or above its coupon threshold (50% of starting price). The securities are auto-callable on monthly calculation days from August 2026 through January 2029 if the lowest performing underlying is at or above its starting price; stated maturity is March 1, 2029.
If not called, maturity proceeds depend on the lowest performing underlying's ending price on the final calculation day: holders receive the face amount ($1,000) only if that ending price is at or above the downside threshold (50% of starting price); otherwise the maturity payment equals $1,000 multiplied by the performance factor, exposing investors to loss of more than 50%, and possibly all, of principal. All payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk.
