The Bank of Nova Scotia priced a primary offering of senior structured notes with a face amount of $1,000 per security and an aggregate original offering amount of $2,242,000. The securities are U.S. dollar senior unsecured notes due February 23, 2029 that are auto-callable and pay a contingent coupon of 17.20% per annum monthly if the lowest performing underlying stock on each calculation day is at or above 50% of its starting price. The notes are linked to the lowest performing of the common stocks of Amazon, Broadcom, Alphabet (Class A) and NVIDIA. If not called, maturity payment depends on the ending price of the lowest performing underlying stock relative to a downside threshold equal to 50% of its starting price; a final ending price below that threshold results in loss of more than 50% and potentially all of principal. All payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced a $3,114,000 offering of senior, equity-linked securities under its Senior Note Program. The securities have a face amount of $1,000 per security, a pricing date of February 17, 2026, an issue date of February 20, 2026 and a stated maturity of February 23, 2028.
They are auto-callable on February 22, 2027 for a call premium of 45.60%. If not called, the maturity payoff depends solely on the lowest performing underlying (Microsoft, ServiceNow, Oracle): upside participation is 300%, an absolute‑value positive return applies only if the lowest performing stock declines by no more than 50%, and losses greater than 50% (up to full principal loss) occur if that stock falls below its 50% threshold. The Bank’s estimated value at pricing was $912.78 per security.
The Bank of Nova Scotia offers Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index due February 22, 2029. The Notes have a contingent coupon rate of 6.00% per annum, a principal amount of $10 per Note and a minimum purchase of 100 Notes.
The initial level (strike) was 6,881.31 and the coupon barrier and downside threshold are each 4,128.79 (60.00% of the initial level). The Notes pay contingent coupons only if observation-date closes meet the coupon barrier, are callable quarterly after 12 months if an observation-date close is at or above the initial level, and at maturity repay principal only if the final level is at or above the downside threshold; otherwise principal can be reduced, potentially to zero. Payments depend on BNS creditworthiness.

The notes are expected to price on February 26, 2026, settle on March 3, 2026, and have an approximately three-year term to a maturity date of March 1, 2029, unless automatically called earlier. The notes feature periodic contingent coupon observation/payment dates, an automatic call if the Reference Asset closes at or above its Initial Value on a Call Observation Date, a 50.00% barrier and contingent coupon barrier, and principal protection only if the Final Value is at or above the Barrier Value; otherwise principal is exposed to the Reference Asset return.

The securities reference the worst performing of XBI, XLE and XLK. They auto-redeem early if the closing price of all three underlying shares on a determination date is at least 90% of their initial share prices, delivering early redemption payments corresponding to approximately 15.15% per annum. At maturity, if all final share prices are at least 90% of initial prices, the payment per security is $1,909.00; otherwise payment equals $1,000.00 plus the underlying return of the worst performing share, exposing investors 1:1 to downside risk and possible loss of the entire investment. All payments are subject to the credit risk of BNS. BNS’ estimated value range at pricing was $892.86 to $922.86, and distributors receive $35.00 in fees per $1,000 security.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Barrier Return Enhanced Notes linked to the State Street SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) with a roughly two-year term. The notes pay at maturity and are unsecured senior obligations of the Bank. Investors receive 200.00% participation in any positive Reference Asset return, capped at a Maximum Return (stated as at least 44.00% and to be set on the Trade Date). If the Final Value is at or above the Barrier Value (equal to 85.00% of the Initial Value), principal is returned; if Final Value is below the Barrier Value, holders suffer proportional losses up to 100.00% of principal. The Trade Date is expected to be February 27, 2026, Original Issue Date March 4, 2026, Final Valuation Date February 28, 2028, and Maturity Date March 2, 2028. The Bank estimates an initial value range of $929.83 to $959.83 per $1,000 Principal Amount and will sell the notes at 100% of principal with underwriting discounts up to 2.25%. All payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk and the notes will not be listed.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering digital notes linked to the shares of the iShares® Expanded Tech‑Software Sector ETF (IGV). Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and a term expected to be approximately 13 to 15 months. The notes pay no interest and have a threshold price equal to 80.00% of the initial price. If the final price is at or above that threshold, holders receive a capped payment (the maximum payment amount is expected to be between $1,107.10 and $1,125.60 per $1,000). If the final price is below the threshold, losses are amplified: the buffer rate is 125.00%, so holders lose 1.25% of principal for each 1% decline below the 80.00% threshold, potentially losing up to 100% of principal. The initial estimated value range is $947.24 to $977.24 per $1,000 and the original issue price is 100%, with underwriting commissions of 0.81% (or $8.10 per $1,000). Any payment depends on the Bank’s creditworthiness; the notes are unsecured and not insured.

Each Note has a Principal Amount of $1,000, an Original Issue Price of 100%, a term of approximately three years (Trade Date February 26, 2026; Original Issue Date March 3, 2026), and is payable in cash.
The Notes are automatically called if the Reference Asset Closing Value on any Call Observation Date is equal to or greater than the Initial Value. Contingent Coupons of at least $42.00 per Note (equal to at least 16.80% per annum) may be paid on specified Contingent Coupon Payment Dates only if the Closing Value on the corresponding Observation Date is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value. The Barrier Value and Contingent Coupon Barrier Value are 50.00% of the Initial Value. If not called and the Final Value is below the Barrier Value, repayment at maturity will reflect the Reference Asset Return, and investors may lose up to 100% of principal. The Bank bears all credit risk on payments.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with a term expected to be approximately 23 to 26 months (valuation date ≈ 23–26 months after the trade date). Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and an original issue price of 100%. At maturity holders may receive the threshold settlement amount of $1,080.00 per $1,000 if the final level is equal to or greater than the initial level. A buffer level (to be set on the trade date and expected to be between 66.00% and 71.00%) governs losses and upside participation: declines down to the buffer convert to a positive absolute-return payout, while declines below the buffer expose holders to amplified losses (buffer rate expected between approximately 140.85% and 151.52%). The initial estimated value range is expected to be between $936.34 and $966.34 per $1,000, and any payment at maturity is subject to the Bank’s creditworthiness. The offering is subject to completion and the final pricing terms (including trade date, initial level, buffer level and aggregate amount) will be set on the trade date.
