The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Index-Linked Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index due July 6, 2027. These senior, unsubordinated, unsecured notes pay no interest and base the maturity payment on the S&P 500 price return from the trade date (expected March 30, 2026) to the valuation date (expected June 30, 2027). The notes feature a 10.00% buffer (90.00% buffer level) that protects against the first 10.00% of a decline in the reference asset but expose investors to losses beyond the buffer, up to 90.00% of principal. Positive participation is capped by a maximum upside payment amount expected to be at least $1,092.50 per $1,000 principal amount. Payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk and the notes will not be listed on an exchange.
