The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Buffered Notes linked to the iShares® Expanded Tech-Software Sector ETF. The notes pay no interest, are subject to the Bank’s credit risk and may be automatically called ~16–18 months after the trade date if the reference asset closes at or above 80% of the initial price, producing a call payment that includes a call premium (expected between 14.36% and 16.85%). If not called, maturity is expected ~29 months after trade date with a capped maximum payment (expected between $1,287.20 and $1,337.00 per $1,000). A 20.00% buffer applies: final prices below 80% expose investors to losses (buffer rate = 125.00%, meaning a 1% decline below 80% causes a 1.25% loss of principal). The initial estimated value range is $922.65–$952.65 per $1,000; original issue price equals 100% of principal. Terms, pricing and key numeric items will be fixed on the trade date.

Estimated value at pricing is between $909.34 and $939.34 per security. Automatic calls pay the face amount plus a predetermined call premium if the lowest performing underlying closes at or above 85% of its starting price on a call date; the threshold price for protection at maturity is 60% of starting price. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and subject to the Bank’s credit risk.

If called, the Notes will pay a predetermined Call Payment Amount per Note (the first call is at least $1,140.00, the second at least $1,280.00, and at final observation at least $1,420.00, with actual amounts set on the Trade Date). If not called, maturity payment equals $1,000 × (1 + Reference Asset Return), exposing investors to up to 100% loss if the Final Value is materially below the Initial Value. Trade Date is expected May 18, 2026 with Original Issue Date May 21, 2026.

The Notes may pay periodic contingent coupons only if all three indices are at or above their 75.00% Barrier on specified observation dates and may be automatically called early if all three indices are at or above their Initial Values on any Call Observation Date. If not called, the Payment at Maturity depends solely on the Least Performing Reference Asset: you receive principal if that asset is at or above its 75.00% Barrier, otherwise you suffer a loss equal to that asset's decline (up to a 100% loss). Trade Date is May 29, 2026, Original Issue Date June 3, 2026, Final Valuation Date May 29, 2029, and Maturity Date June 1, 2029.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Fixed Coupon Trigger Notes linked to Apple Inc. The aggregate original issue size is $8,795,000 with a principal amount of $1,000 per note. Coupons of $7.00 per $1,000 (0.70% monthly; up to 8.40% per annum) are payable on scheduled coupon dates commencing June 11, 2026.
Notes are automatically called if Apple’s closing price on any call observation date is equal to or greater than the initial price of $293.32. If not called, at maturity on June 11, 2027 investors receive cash if the final price is at or above a trigger equal to 76.00% of the initial price; otherwise investors receive a share delivery amount calculated as $1,000 ÷ initial price, which would be worth less than 76.00% of principal as of the final valuation date.

The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering $32,855,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due May 11, 2029, linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. Each note has a stated principal amount of $1,000 and an initial share price of $430.00.
The securities pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $32.50 (equivalent to 13.00% per annum) only on determination dates when Broadcom's closing price is at or above the downside threshold of $215.00. The notes auto-redeem early if the closing price meets or exceeds the call threshold of $430.00 on any determination date prior to maturity. If not redeemed and the final share price is below the downside threshold, holders receive the stated principal multiplied by the share performance factor (final/initial), which can result in a repayment below 50.00% of principal and could be zero. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk and the issuer’s internal pricing models; BNS estimated the securities' value at $965.20 on the pricing date.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering $1,000,000 of senior contingent income auto-callable notes due May 11, 2028.

If a determination date's closing price is at or above the call threshold ($182.40), notes are auto‑redeemed early for the stated principal plus due contingent coupons. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, maturity payment equals the stated principal multiplied by the share performance factor and may be less than 50.00% of principal or zero. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk.

If not called, repayment at maturity depends on the final closing level: if the final level is >= the conversion level ($125.98, 85.00% of initial), you receive principal in cash; if below, you receive a share delivery amount (7.9378 shares per Note), which may be worth less than principal. Payments are subject to BNS credit risk. The initial estimated value on the trade date was $978.39 per Note and the issue price is $1,000 per Note.
