The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked, auto-callable senior notes linked to the common stock of First Solar, Inc. with a face amount of $1,000 per security, a pricing date of February 26, 2026, issue date of March 3, 2026, and stated maturity of March 1, 2029.
The securities pay quarterly contingent coupon payments (memory feature) only when the Underlying Stock's closing price on each calculation day is at or above the coupon threshold (equal to 50% of the starting price). The contingent coupon rate will be set on the pricing date and will be at least 12.25% per annum. If a calculation day meets or exceeds the starting price, the notes will be automatically called for the face amount plus accrued contingent coupons. If not called, the maturity payment depends on the ending price versus the downside threshold (equal to 50% of the starting price), and investors may lose more than 50% of principal, potentially all, if the ending price is below that threshold. The Bank's estimated value at pricing would be between $912.20 and $942.20 per security.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $8,540,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc., maturing on March 22, 2027. The notes pay a contingent monthly coupon of $11.042 per $1,000 principal (1.1042% monthly, ~13.25% annually) on any coupon payment date if the closing price on the related observation date is equal to or greater than the coupon barrier of 56.00% of the initial price.
The initial price of the reference stock was $332.54 (trade date February 17, 2026). The notes are automatically called (redeemed at $1,000 plus any contingent coupon) if, on any call observation date (monthly from August 2026 through February 2027), the closing price is equal to or greater than the initial price. If not called and the final price is below the 56.00% trigger, holders receive a share delivery amount equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price, which will be worth less than 56.00% of principal at the final valuation date; in that case no contingent coupon is paid and investors may lose all or a substantial portion of their investment.
