The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering Auto-Callable Dual Directional Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities ("Buffered PLUS") linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index, with a stated principal amount of $1,000.00 per Buffered PLUS and a term maturing on or about June 2, 2028. The notes pay no interest, carry an upside leverage factor of 125.00% (applicable only if not auto-redeemed and the final index value is above the initial index value), and include a 10.00% buffer that protects against the first 10.00% of index declines.
If the index meets or exceeds the initial index value on the determination date prior to the final determination date, the Buffered PLUS will be automatically redeemed for an early redemption payment of $1,101.50. If not redeemed, maturity payouts vary: upside participation if the final index value is higher; an absolute-return payoff up to +10.00% if the index falls up to the buffer; or losses (up to 90.00% of principal) if the index falls more than the buffer. Payments are unsecured and subject to BNS credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to NVIDIA Corporation common stock. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, an expected trade date of May 14, 2026 and expected maturity on November 18, 2027.
Contingent coupons of $9.042 per $1,000 (0.9042% monthly) are payable on an observation date when the closing price is at or above a coupon barrier equal to 54.00% of the initial price. The notes are automatically called if the closing price on a call observation date (Nov 2026–Oct 2027) is equal to or greater than the initial price. If not called and the final price is below 54.00% of the initial price, holders receive a share delivery amount (or cash for fractional shares) and may lose a substantial portion or all of their investment. The Bank’s initial estimated value range is $925.00–$955.00 per $1,000, below the original issue price of 100%.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due on or about May 11, 2029, linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. The notes have a stated principal amount of $1,000.00 per security and an initial contingent quarterly coupon of $32.50 (equivalent to 13.00% per annum) payable only if the underlying closing price on each determination date is at or above a downside threshold equal to 50.00% of the initial share price. The securities may be automatically redeemed early if the underlying closing price on a determination date is at or above a call threshold equal to 100.00% of the initial share price, in which case investors receive principal plus any payable coupons. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, maturity payments are reduced by the share performance factor and may be less than 50.00% of principal, potentially resulting in substantial loss or total loss of investment. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk. Pricing date is May 8, 2026 and original issue date is May 13, 2026.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) is offering Digital Notes linked to the MSCI EAFE Index, senior unsecured notes with a term expected to be approximately 13 to 15 months (subject to completion and final pricing). Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and will not bear interest. The payment at maturity depends on the reference asset return versus a 90.00% threshold level: if the final level is equal to or above 90.00% of the initial level, holders receive a capped threshold settlement amount (expected between $1,091.00 and $1,107.00 per $1,000); if below that threshold, losses apply and the buffer rate (approximately 111.11%) magnifies negative returns up to a possible 100% loss of principal. The initial estimated value on the trade date is given as $947.70 to $977.70 per $1,000, while the original issue price is 100%. Notes are unsecured obligations of the Bank, not listed, subject to the Banks credit risk, currency and non-U.S. market risks, limited liquidity, hedging-related conflicts of interest and uncertain U.S. and Canadian tax treatment.

The notes are automatically redeemed (called) if on any call observation date the reference stock closes at or above the initial price, in which case holders receive $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called and the final price is below 55.00% of the initial price on the final valuation date (June 14, 2027), holders receive a share delivery amount (calculated as $1,000 divided by the initial price), which will be worth less than 55.00% of principal, and no contingent coupon will be paid.
