Welcome to our dedicated page for Bank of Nova Scotia SEC filings (Ticker: BNS), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
Bank of Nova Scotia filings document the regulatory disclosures of a Canadian bank and foreign private issuer whose securities trade on the TSX and NYSE under BNS. Its Form 6-K reports include earnings-related releases, capitalization and earnings-ratio exhibits, Canadian certification materials, and updates incorporated by reference into Form F-3 and Form S-8 registration statements.
The bank’s filings also record governance and shareholder matters, including proxy circular materials, board mandates, by-law amendments, annual and special meeting voting results, and director-election outcomes. Capital-structure disclosures cover common shares, preferred shares and other equity instruments, subordinated indebtedness, normal course issuer bids, and other regulatory capital matters.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is registering common shares on Form F-4 to use as stock consideration in its acquisition of Maple Financial Holdings, Inc.. Maple will be merged with a BNS merger subsidiary and survive as a wholly owned BNS subsidiary.
Each outstanding share of Maple voting and non‑voting common stock and preferred stock (other than excluded and perfected-dissenting shares) will convert at closing into BNS common shares based on a formula: the Per Share Consideration Amount (US$25 million plus Maple’s Closing Equity Capital, divided by fully diluted Maple shares) divided by the 10‑day volume‑weighted average BNS share price. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
The merger requires regulatory approvals from OSFI, the Federal Reserve and the Texas Department of Banking, NYSE and TSX listing of the new BNS shares, an effective SEC registration statement, Maple tangible equity capital of at least US$70 million, and two‑thirds approval by each class of Maple voting common and preferred stock. Maple may owe BNS US$6.5 million in liquidated damages if the agreement is terminated in certain acquisition‑proposal scenarios. BNS expects to close in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will account for the deal as an IFRS business combination.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $9,000,000 of senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes maturing on July 17, 2036, linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index. The notes pay a 9.00% per annum contingent coupon (quarterly, $0.225 per $10 note) only if on each observation date both indices close at or above their coupon barriers.
The initial levels are 29,586.29 for the Nasdaq-100 and 6,280.19 for the EURO STOXX 50, with coupon barriers and downside thresholds set at 75% of those levels. The notes may be automatically called quarterly after 12 months if both indices are at or above initial levels, returning principal plus the relevant coupon. If not called, and on the final valuation date any index is below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the percentage loss of the worst index, up to a total loss of principal. Payments depend on BNS’s credit; the notes are not insured or bail-inable under the CDIC Act.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $5,710,000 of senior, unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due July 5, 2029, linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. The notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $56.875 per $1,000 (22.75% per annum) only if Broadcom’s closing price on each observation date is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value of $276.00, equal to 70% of the Initial Value of $394.28.
The notes are automatically called, returning principal plus the relevant coupon, if on any Call Observation Date Broadcom’s closing value is at or above the Initial Value. If not called, the maturity payment depends on Broadcom’s Final Value on June 29, 2029: investors receive full principal if it is at or above the Barrier Value of $276.00, but if it is lower they lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline from the Initial Value, up to a 100% loss of principal. Coupons are not guaranteed and investors do not participate in any upside beyond coupons.
The notes are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The original issue price is 100% of principal, while the bank’s initial estimated value is $963.65 per $1,000, reflecting dealer compensation, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $1,524,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due July 5, 2029, linked to the common stock of Coinbase Global, Inc. Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and an original issue price of 100% of principal.
The Notes pay a Contingent Coupon of $105.75 per Note (42.30% per annum) on scheduled observation dates only if Coinbase’s closing value is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value of $117.05, equal to 70% of the Initial Value of $167.21. The same level is the Barrier Value for principal protection tests. If on any Call Observation Date the closing value is at or above the Initial Value, the Notes are automatically called for $1,000 plus that period’s coupon, and no further payments are made.
If not called, at maturity investors receive $1,000 per Note only if the Final Value is at or above the Barrier Value; otherwise the payoff is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Reference Asset Return), resulting in a loss of 1% of principal for each 1% decline in Coinbase from the Initial Value, down to a possible 100% loss. The Notes do not provide dividends or voting rights in Coinbase, are not bail-inable or deposit-insured, and their initial estimated value is $967 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and structuring costs. Liquidity is limited, with no exchange listing and market-making at the dealer’s discretion.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured structured notes, the Trigger Autocallable GEARS, linked to the Russell 2000® Index under its Senior Note Program, Series A. Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000, and is scheduled to mature on or about July 31, 2031, unless automatically called.
The notes can be automatically called on the August 5, 2027 observation date if the index closing level is at or above the autocall barrier, set at 100% of the initial level. In that case, investors receive the call price, equal to principal plus a 12.00% call return, and no further payments. If not called, at maturity investors receive: geared upside of 1.35–1.60x any positive index return; return of principal if the final index level is at or above the 75% downside threshold; or a loss matching the index decline if the final level is below that threshold, up to a 100% loss of principal.
The Securities pay no interest, are not listed on an exchange, and any payment is subject to the creditworthiness of BNS. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $9.32 and $9.62 per $10 Security, below the public issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs. Extensive risk disclosures highlight market risk from the Russell 2000® Index, limited liquidity, potential conflicts from hedging, and complex U.S. and Canadian tax treatment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Market Linked Securities, auto-callable and linked to the lowest performing of CrowdStrike, Okta and Palo Alto Networks common stocks. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and pays no interest or dividends.
The notes may be automatically called around August 2027 if the lowest-performing stock is at or above 70% of its starting price, paying face amount plus a call premium of at least 47%.

The Bank’s estimated value is $901.15–$931.15 per $1,000 security, below the issue price, reflecting dealer spread and hedging profits. The notes are not listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.

The notes may be automatically called on scheduled Observation Dates through July 2031 if each index is at or above its Initial Value, paying a Call Payment Amount based on a 12.15% per annum Call Return Rate. If never called and each index finishes at or above 60% of its Initial Value (its Barrier Value), investors receive the $1,000 principal per note; otherwise repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in the worst-performing index, up to a total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is $980.24 per $1,000 note, the notes pay no periodic interest, are not CDIC or FDIC insured, and will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, maturing on or about February 3, 2028, under its Senior Note Program, Series A. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $8.584 per $1,000 (0.8584% monthly, up to approximately 10.30% per annum) on each monthly observation date only if NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above 55.00% of the initial price.
Starting in February 2027, the notes are automatically called if on a call observation date NVIDIA’s price is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 plus that period’s contingent coupon. If not called and the final price on January 31, 2028 is at or above 55% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon; if it is below 55%, investors receive shares (or cash) worth less than 55% of principal, resulting in a substantial or total loss. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by CDIC or FDIC. The bank’s initial estimated value is expected to be $925–$955 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs, and secondary market liquidity is not assured.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering three-year Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities, senior unsecured notes linked to the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and matures on or about July 25, 2029, subject to possible early redemption.
Investors may receive a contingent semi-annual coupon of $116.75 per security (equivalent to 23.35% per annum) on each determination date when the ETF’s closing price is at least 60% of the initial share price, with a memory coupon feature that can pay previously missed coupons when the test is later met. If on any non-final determination date the ETF is at or above 100% of the initial price, the notes are automatically redeemed for principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons.
Principal is at risk. If held to maturity and the final share price is at least 50% of the initial price, investors receive principal plus any due coupons. If the final share price is below 50%, repayment equals principal multiplied by the share performance factor, resulting in less than 50% of principal and potentially zero. The notes are not listed, have limited liquidity, and all payments are subject to BNS credit risk. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected between $914.36 and $944.36 per $1,000, below the issue price.

The Notes are automatically called if on any Call Observation Date the closing value is at or above the Initial Value, paying principal plus the due and unpaid coupons, after which no further payments are made.
If the Notes are not called and Alphabet’s final value on January 18, 2028 is at or above the Barrier Value of $230.40, investors receive their $1,000 principal plus any due coupons. If the final value is below the Barrier Value, investors receive the Physical Delivery Amount of 2.8212 GOOGL shares (plus cash for any fractional share), exposing them 1:1 to further downside and potentially losing up to 100% of principal. The Notes are not listed, do not provide dividends or guaranteed interest, and all payments are subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
