The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the ordinary share of CRH public limited company. The notes have $1,000 principal per note, an expected trade date of March 6, 2026, original issue date expected March 11, 2026, and expected maturity on April 9, 2027.
Contingent monthly coupons of $8.792 per $1,000 (0.8792% monthly; ~10.55% annualized) are payable only if the reference asset’s closing price on an observation date is ≥ 72.75% of the initial price. The notes are automatically called if on any call observation date the closing price is ≥ the initial price. Principal is at risk: if the final price is below 72.75% of the initial price, holders suffer the percentage decline and could lose up to 100% of principal.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the ordinary share of CRH public limited company due April 9, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and pays a contingent monthly coupon of $10.875 per $1,000 (1.0875% monthly; 13.05% annualized) only if the reference share closes at or above a coupon barrier of 72.75% of the initial price on an observation date.
If a call observation date (Sep 2026–Mar 2027) has the reference share at or above the initial price, notes are automatically called and you receive $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called, maturity payment depends on the final price: if final price < 72.75% of the initial price you suffer a proportional loss (you lose 1% for each 1% decline) and could lose up to your entire investment. All payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The Bank’s estimated initial value is between $925.00 and $955.00 per $1,000 principal amount.
