How can I say it to you, anon... you're wrong. First things first, they never said a new season, but a new series, and thus, I can conclude to you, that it doesn't have to be season 4 or EX. It can be a reboot or a readaptation of BorN, or maybe a side-story, it can be pretty lots of things. The only thing we know about it right now is pretty much that it will be a new TV series, so it won't be OVA or a movie. And no, EX won't be adapted, most likely. It's not 60-40 probability, it's a random probability, consiting a few options.

The first option I'll mention is the most talked one and the one that most people think - a 4th season. I don't really think it's too plausible... I mean, there were problems with BorN, EX fixed it, and things go back on course, but fans won't really understand what's going on, and also it was never said this will be a 4th season, or for that matter, even that this will be a new season, they said a new series.

The second option I'll mention is a readaptation for BorN. Well, I mean, this might actually happen, for all we know. It's not too likely, but it can still happen. I mean, if they are going to continue, they will need to either readapt BorN, or rather, readpat Vols 5-7 correctly, or maybe even make a reboot. Which takes me to the third option I'll mention. A reboot.

Well, Ishibumi didn't really approve of the changes of BorN, from what I've heard, so he might have a reason to find a new studio to make High School DxD into an anime. But, they might as well readapt the whole thing. And most importantly, the PV that was released... it was like that when they first announced High School DxD was being made into an anime. They didn't do such a PV when a second season was announced, nor did they when a third season was announced. So it makes me think that maybe it might be a reboot. And also, they said that they will make a new TV series, so it's rather plausible to think of a readaptation, with this choice of words.

There are some more options, such as maybe a TV adaptation of SLASHDOG, which will be somewhat weird. Because, at most, despite being actually pretty long volume, Vol 1 of SLASHDOG would probably be 8 episodes long, at most. With stretching and putting some fillers with it, it can maybe get to 10 episodes. With some more fillers, it can maybe get to even 12 episodes. But that's stretching it too much. 8 episodes is still plausible though. And then again, it can be also a completely original story. Maybe they will do some Sirzechs stories, or I don't know really about who, it can be any character, really.

Long story short - it's definitely, 100% not like what you said. There are absolutely not 60% it will be EX, neither are there 40% it will be a 4th season. You need to try and read, yourself, too, you know.
