The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to the common stock of ASML Holding N.V. The securities have a $10 principal amount per security (minimum investment $1,000) and final terms will be set on the trade date. The structure includes an automatic call feature, an upside gearing of 2.00, a call return rate range of 23.00 to 25.00, and a downside threshold equal to 65.00 of the initial level. Key dates shown are trade date May 28, 2026, observation date June 3, 2027, final valuation date May 29, 2029 and maturity May 31, 2029. BNS estimates an initial estimated value between $9.35 and $9.65 per security at pricing; the issue price will be $10.00. Payments at call or maturity depend on the underlying’s closing levels and are subject to BNS credit risk; holders may lose a significant portion or all principal.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index due on or about June 2, 2031. The notes pay periodic contingent coupons only if both underliers meet coupon barriers on observation dates and are automatically callable quarterly (callable after six months) if both underliers equal or exceed their initial levels. At maturity, if any underlier is below its downside threshold (60.00% of initial), repayment may be less than principal and could result in a substantial or total loss. Trade and settlement are expected on May 28, 2026 and May 29, 2026, respectively. The issue price is $10.00 per Note (minimum investment 100 Notes); BNS credit risk, limited liquidity, hedging conflicts, and uncertain U.S. federal tax treatment are highlighted risks.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering capped, market-linked notes — the Capped Notes with Absolute Return Buffer linked to the Russell 2000® Index — with a $10 principal per unit and an expected term of approximately 14 months maturing in August, 2027. The notes provide 1-to-1 upside in the Index limited by a 12.00% cap (Capped Value $11.20 per unit). They provide an absolute-value buffer for modest Index declines: if the Index falls but remains at or above a Threshold Value (to be set on the pricing date at 86.00%–91.00% of the Starting Value), holders receive a positive return equal to the absolute decline; if the Index falls below the Threshold Value, principal is lost pro rata. All payments occur at maturity and are subject to BNS credit risk. The public offering price is $10.00 per unit (reduced to $9.95 for large individual purchases), the underwriting discount is $0.175 per unit (or $0.125 for large purchases), and an estimated hedging-related charge of $0.05 per unit is included; initial estimated value on pricing is between $9.31 and $9.61 per unit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering three separate series of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., General Motors Company and Class A ordinary shares of On Holding AG, maturing May 25, 2029. Each Note pays a fixed contingent coupon on scheduled coupon payment dates only if the underlying closing level on the applicable observation date is at or above a specified coupon barrier. The Notes are callable quarterly (first callable ~6 months after issue) if an observation-date closing level is at or above the initial level; early call pays principal plus the contingent coupon on the call settlement date. If not called and the final level is below the downside threshold, maturity payment will decline in line with the percentage decline of the underlying, potentially resulting in a substantial or total loss of principal. The offering sizes are $11,247,000 (AMZN), $5,912,450 (GM) and $10,107,700 (ON). Payments depend on BNS creditworthiness; the issuer’s initial estimated values per Note are below the $10 issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $5,091,000 of autocallable notes linked to Broadcom Inc. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $11.00 per $1,000 on a monthly basis if the closing price of Broadcom equals or exceeds 57.00% of the initial price ($414.57) on an observation date. Observation dates occur monthly beginning June 21, 2026; call observation dates run from November 2026 through May 2027. If the reference stock is at or above the initial price on a call observation date, the notes are automatically called and pay $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called and the final price is below 57.00% of $414.57, holders receive a share delivery amount equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price (shares, with cash for fractional shares), and will not receive contingent coupons; such outcome can result in substantial loss of principal. The Bank’s initial estimated value at pricing was $965.44 per $1,000, below the original issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior, market‑linked, auto‑callable notes with a contingent quarterly coupon and principal at risk, linked to the lowest performing common stock of Boeing, JPMorgan Chase and Visa. The securities have a face amount of $1,000 per security, a pricing date of May 28, 2026, an issue date of June 2, 2026 and a stated maturity of June 1, 2029.
Coupons are contingent and paid quarterly only if the lowest performing underlying's closing price on a calculation day is at or above its coupon threshold (60% of its starting price). The contingent coupon rate will be set on the pricing date and will be at least 12.30% per annum. The securities are automatically called if the lowest performing underlying closes at or above its starting price on specified quarterly calculation days; if not called, principal at maturity depends on the lowest performing underlying's ending price and may be reduced pro rata (full downside exposure below the 60% downside threshold).
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $6,000,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffer Notes with Memory Coupon linked to the common stock of Eli Lilly and Company. Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and a contingent coupon of $40.40 payable on scheduled coupon dates if the Reference Asset meets the barrier test.
The Notes may be automatically called early if the Reference Asset closes at or above the Initial Value on an Observation Date. If not called, principal repayment at maturity depends on the Final Value versus the Buffer Value $833.32 (80% of the Initial Value $1,041.65). Losses apply if the Final Value is below the Buffer Value, scaled by a Downside Leverage Factor 1.25. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank; credit risk of the Bank applies.

Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and depend on its creditworthiness.
