The Bank of Nova Scotia offered Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to Best Buy Co., Inc. with an aggregate principal amount of $488,000. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $11.459 per $1,000 on an observation date when Best Buy’s closing price is at least 62.00% of the initial price (initial price: $77.95). The notes may be automatically called on certain observation dates beginning November 2026; if called, holders receive $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called, maturity is July 2, 2027, and holders face downside exposure equal to the reference asset return if the final price is below the 62.00% trigger, potentially losing up to their entire principal. Any payment depends on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced an offering of senior, equity-linked securities with a $590,000 aggregate original offering price. The securities have a face amount of $1,000 per security, an estimated value of $940.01 per security as of the pricing date, and stated maturity of June 1, 2029. They are market-linked, auto-callable notes tied to the lowest performing of the common stocks of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Broadcom Inc. and Meta Platforms, Inc.
Key terms: automatic call if the lowest performing stock closes at or above 85% of its starting price on a call date; a 40% buffer before 1-to-1 downside applies; potential loss of up to 60% of the face amount at maturity if the lowest performing stock falls below its 60% threshold. Payments are subject to the Bank's credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $446,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Best Buy Co., Inc., due July 2, 2027. The notes pay a contingent monthly coupon of $13.334 per $1,000 (1.3334% monthly; ~16.00% annualized) when the reference stock closes at or above the coupon barrier of 62.00% of the initial price. The initial price per share was $77.95 (trade date May 29, 2026), and the notes are automatically called on call observation dates (November 2026 through May 2027) if the closing price is equal to or above that initial price, in which case holders receive principal plus the contingent coupon. If not called, the maturity payoff (final valuation date June 29, 2027; maturity July 2, 2027) depends on the final closing price: if the final price is below 62.00% of the initial price, principal is reduced in direct proportion to the reference asset return and holders may lose up to 100% of principal. Payments are unsecured and subject to the Bank’s credit risk. The Bank’s initial estimated value was $986.25 per $1,000 principal amount, below the original issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Trigger Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 and Russell 2000. The offering totals $4,867,000 in aggregate principal at a $1,000 principal amount per note. The notes mature on June 2, 2028 but can be automatically called on June 1, 2027 if both reference assets close at or above their initial levels. If automatically called, holders receive principal plus a 16.25% call premium. If not called, maturity payoffs depend on the least performing reference asset: positive returns are paid at a 250.00% participation rate, principal is returned if the least performing asset is ≥75.00% of its initial level, and losses occur proportionally below that trigger, including possible loss of principal. Payments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness. The initial estimated value on the trade date was $969.68 per $1,000 principal.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced a structured senior note offering: Market Linked Securities—auto-callable, leveraged upside and contingent downside linked to the lowest performing of Alphabet Class A, Microsoft and NVIDIA.
The pricing date was May 29, 2026 (issue date June 3, 2026) with an original offering price and face amount of $1,000 per security and an estimated value of $923.90 per security as of pricing. The securities pay no periodic interest, may be automatically called after ~one year (call date June 3, 2027) for a call premium of 38.00% ($380), and mature on or about June 1, 2029. If not called, maturity pay depends solely on the ending price of the lowest performing underlying stock: beneficiaries may receive up to 200% upside participation if the lowest performer finishes above its starting price, an absolute-value capped positive return (max 50%) if the lowest performer falls but stays at or above 50% of its start, or full downside exposure 50% and possibly total loss) if it finishes below 50% of its starting price. All payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Index-Linked Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with an aggregate principal amount of $936,000. The notes mature on September 2, 2027 and pay at maturity based on the S&P 500® price return measured from the trade date May 29, 2026 to the valuation date August 30, 2027. For each $1,000 principal amount, upside is capped at a $1,130.00 maximum payment (a 13.00% cap) and a 10.00% buffer applies: declines up to 10.00% produce positive payments equal to the absolute decline, while declines greater than 10.00% reduce principal (you may lose up to 90.00%). Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and subject to its credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Salesforce, Inc. with an aggregate original issue amount of $1,798,000 and a principal amount of $1,000 per note. The notes mature on July 2, 2027 and may be automatically called on certain observation dates beginning in November 2026. The initial price per note equals principal (100.00%); the Bank’s internal estimated value at pricing was $970.30 per $1,000, reflecting underwriting commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs. Coupons of $10.834 per $1,000 are payable on a coupon date only if the reference stock’s closing price on the related observation date is at least 58.00% of the initial price; otherwise no coupon is paid. If not called and the final price is below 58.00% of the initial price, holders receive a share-delivery amount (or cash in lieu) and may lose all or substantially all principal. Payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced a $373,000 offering of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index. Each $1,000 note pays at maturity based on the Russell 2000® price return from the trade date May 29, 2026 to the valuation date February 29, 2028. The notes yield 150.00% participation in positive index returns up to a $1,257.50 cap per $1,000 principal and provide a 10.00% downside buffer at maturity; declines beyond the buffer expose holders to losses of up to 90.00% of principal. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $2,720,000 of Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes due June 2, 2028. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and links to the least performing of the iShares® MSCI EAFE ETF (initial level $104.80) and the EURO STOXX 50® Index (initial level 6,050.54). The notes pay no interest and provide a participation rate of 154.00% on the positive return of the least performing reference asset. A 10.00% buffer (buffer level 90.00%) protects against losses up to that threshold; if the least performing reference asset falls below 90.00% of its initial level, investors bear losses beyond the buffer (up to 90.00% of principal). Trade date was May 29, 2026, valuation date May 30, 2028 and original issue date June 3, 2026. The Bank’s initial estimated value was $955.65 per $1,000 principal, below the original issue price.

The notes have a $1,000 principal amount per note and aggregate original issue amount of $2,291,000, trade date May 29, 2026, original issue date June 3, 2026 and maturity July 2, 2027. The initial price of the reference asset was $632.51.
Each coupon pays $8.417 per $1,000 (0.8417% monthly) if the closing price on an observation date is at or above the coupon barrier of 65.00% of the initial price. Notes are automatically called if the reference asset’s closing price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price. If not called and the final price is below 65.00% of the initial price, holders receive the share delivery amount (calculated as $1,000 divided by the initial price) and will not receive the contingent coupon, exposing holders to substantial principal loss. Payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
