The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $8,185,000 in Series A equity-linked senior securities (8,185 securities, $1,000 face each). The securities are auto-callable approximately one year after issuance if the lowest performing underlying (Amazon, Microsoft or Oracle) closes at or above 95% of its starting price; an automatic call pays a 50.00% call premium. If not called, maturity payoff depends solely on the lowest performing stock: a 234% upside participation applies to positive performance, an "absolute value" feature caps positive returns from modest declines at 50.00%, and losses exceed 50% if the lowest performing stock falls below 50.00% of its starting price. The Bank’s estimated value at pricing was $924.85 per security. Net proceeds to the Bank equal $7,974,236.25. Payments are unsecured and subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $10,782,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffer Notes with Memory Coupon linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. The notes trade date is April 17, 2026, original issue date April 22, 2026, and mature on May 5, 2027. The notes pay a $51.50 contingent coupon on each payment date if the Reference Asset’s Closing Value on an Observation Date is at least 75.00% of the Initial Value ($406.54). The notes are automatically called if the Reference Asset closes at or above the Initial Value on any Observation Date (four Observation Dates), and otherwise offer a 25.00% buffer with a downside leverage factor of approximately 1.3333, exposing principal to loss if the Final Value is below the buffer. Initial estimated value was $987.33 per $1,000 Principal Amount; Original Issue Price is 100%.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to an unequally weighted basket of five equity indices with an expected term of approximately 5 years. The securities pay no interest, have a call return rate of 14.00% and an upside gearing to be set between 1.65 and 1.85 on the trade date.
If the underlying basket’s closing level on the observation date meets or exceeds the autocall barrier (equal to the initial basket level), BNS will automatically call the notes and pay the call price ($10 principal plus the 14.00% call return). If not called, payments at maturity depend on the basket return and a downside threshold of 75.00% of the initial basket level; negative returns below that threshold can result in substantial principal loss, potentially total loss. Key dates include trade date April 28, 2026, settlement April 30, 2026, observation date May 5, 2027, final valuation date April 28, 2031, and maturity April 30, 2031.

Payments depend solely on the lowest performing of Eli Lilly, Merck and Stryker. An automatic call pays the face amount plus a 58.75% call premium; if not called, upside participation is 455% of the percentage gain of the lowest performing stock, while a decline below 60% of the starting price exposes holders to full downside (losses greater than 40% and possibly all).
The Bank’s estimated value at pricing was $914.36 per security; the original offering price is $1,000, reflecting dealer spread, commissions and projected hedging profit. All payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk and no periodic interest or dividends will be paid.

If not called, payments at maturity depend on the final level vs. the downside threshold (43,600.68, 75.00% of the initial level).
