The Bank of Nova Scotia offers Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to Best Buy Co., Inc. These notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $13.334 per $1,000 if the reference stock closes at or above a coupon barrier of 62.00% of the initial price on each observation date. The notes may be automatically called on call observation dates beginning in November 2026; trade date is expected to be May 29, 2026 with expected maturity July 2, 2027. If not called, maturity payoff depends on the final price relative to the trigger price (62.00%), and investors bear full principal risk: a final price below the trigger results in a pro rata loss of principal tied to the stock’s percentage decline. The Bank’s initial estimated value is between $925.00 and $955.00 per $1,000, while the original issue price is 100%. Payments are subject to the Bank’s creditworthiness and the notes will not be listed; structuring fees and hedging costs (including up to 0.65% dealer structuring fee) reduce economic terms.
