The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index with a total principal amount of $5,417,880. The Notes mature on May 2, 2031 (final valuation date April 29, 2031), are callable quarterly after 12 months, and pay a call return based on a 9.75% per annum call return rate if automatically called. The initial level is 2,739.472 and the downside threshold is 2,054.604 (75.00% of initial). If not called and the final level is below the downside threshold, holders suffer a loss proportional to the decline in the index and could lose their entire principal. Payments depend on BNS creditworthiness; the issuer’s initial estimated value per Note was $9.63 versus the issue price of $10.00.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation with expected maturity on June 17, 2027. Each $1,000 note may pay a monthly contingent coupon of $8.50 (equal to 0.85% monthly, 10.20% annualized) when the reference stock closes at or above a coupon barrier of 55.00% of the initial price on observation dates. 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. The notes are senior, unsecured obligations of the Bank, not listed, carry credit risk of the Bank, and the initial estimated value at pricing is expected to be between $925.00 and $955.00 per $1,000 principal amount.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering 3,029,911 units of Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities linked to the Russell 2000® Index with a $10.00 principal amount per unit and total public offering price of $30,299,110.00. The notes pay no periodic interest, are unsecured senior debt of BNS, and may be automatically called on specified annual Observation Dates with tiered Call Amounts up to $14.505 per unit if the Index meets the Call Level. If not called, investors receive principal at maturity only if the Ending Value is at or above the 85.00% Threshold Value (2,358.832); otherwise investors have 1-to-1 downside beyond the 15.00% buffer. Initial estimated value on the pricing date was $9.59 per unit; the public offering price exceeds that amount due to underwriting and hedging charges.
The Bank of Nova Scotia offers Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to the Russell 2000® Index with final terms set on the trade date. Key economic terms include a 12.00% call return rate, upside gearing of 1.53–1.73, and a downside threshold equal to 75.00% of the initial level. The trade date is May 13, 2026, settlement May 15, 2026, observation date May 20, 2027, final valuation May 13, 2031 and maturity May 15, 2031. Minimum investment is $1,000 (100 Securities at $10 each). BNS’s initial estimated value range is $9.35–$9.65 per Security; the issue price will exceed that estimate. These are senior unsecured debt obligations of BNS; repayment of principal depends on index performance and BNS creditworthiness, and investors may lose a significant portion or all of their investment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation. The notes have a $1,000 principal amount, expected trade date of May 15, 2026, an expected maturity date of June 18, 2027, monthly observation dates and an automatic call feature commencing November 2026. Contingent coupons of $10.209 per $1,000 (1.0209% monthly, ~12.25% per annum) are payable for any observation date on which the closing price is equal to or above a coupon barrier of 60.00% of the initial price. If a call observation date’s closing price is equal to or greater than the initial price, the notes will be automatically called and holders will receive principal plus the contingent coupon. If the final price is less than 60.00% of the initial price, holders will receive a share delivery amount equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price and will not receive the contingent coupon, exposing investors to substantial principal loss. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and subject to its credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior equity-linked notes linked to the lowest performing stock among Broadcom, Alphabet Class A and Netflix, with a face amount of $1,000 per security. The notes are auto-callable after approximately one year for a call premium of at least 41.35% and mature in 2029. If not called, payoff depends solely on the lowest performing underlying: 300% upside participation on gains, a capped 50% positive return on modest declines (absolute value feature), and full downside below the 50% threshold, potentially resulting in losses exceeding 50% of face amount. All payments are subject to The Bank of Nova Scotia credit risk and the securities pay no periodic interest or dividends.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature due on or about May 4, 2028. Each note has a stated principal amount of $1,000.00 and pays no interest. The securities auto‑redeem on specified determination dates for fixed early redemption payments (each corresponding to a 48.12% per annum return) if the closing prices of all underlying stocks meet or exceed their initial share prices. If not redeemed, maturity pays $1,962.40 when all final share prices meet trigger prices (each trigger = 60% of initial share price). If any underlying final share price is below its trigger, the maturity payment equals $1,000 plus the underlying return of the worst performing underlying stock, exposing investors to a potential loss of up to 100% of principal. Payments depend on BNS creditworthiness and the securities are not listed.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Buffered Index-Linked Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index with a $1,000 principal amount per note and an expected maturity of September 2, 2027. The trade date is expected to be May 29, 2026 and original issue price is 100% of principal.
Key economics: a 10.00% buffer (buffer level = 90.00% of the initial level) protects losses up to that threshold; beyond the buffer you lose 1% for each 1% decline and may lose up to 90.00% of principal. The maximum upside payment amount is expected to be at least $1,130.00 per $1,000 principal amount (a cap of at least 13.00%). The initial estimated value range at pricing is $925.00 to $965.00 per $1,000, which is below the original issue price.

A 10.00% buffer protects principal at maturity only; declines beyond 10.00% expose holders to losses, and investors may lose up to 90.00% of principal. The trade date is expected to be May 28, 2026, the valuation date is expected to be February 28, 2028 and the expected maturity is March 2, 2028. The original issue price is 100% and the Bank’s initial estimated value range at pricing is expected to be between $925.00 and $965.00 per $1,000.

The offering totals $13,083,060 at $10.00 per Security and includes an automatic call on May 5, 2027 if the underlying basket closing level is at or above the autocall barrier (100% of the initial basket level).
If not called, maturity payouts depend on the basket return, an upside gearing of 1.75, a call return rate of 14.00, and a downside threshold of 75.00 of the initial basket level; negative outcomes can result in partial or total loss of principal and all payments remain subject to BNS credit risk.
