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.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked securities that pay a contingent monthly coupon of at least 22.00% per annum, linked to the worst performer of AMD, Intel, Micron and UnitedHealth Group. Coupons are paid only when the lowest performing stock is at or above 40% of its starting price, with a memory feature that can pay previously missed coupons.
The notes are auto-callable from August 2026 through January 2029 if the worst-performing stock is at or above its starting price, returning principal plus the applicable coupons. If not called, principal is protected at maturity only if the worst-performing stock is at or above 40% of its starting level; otherwise investors lose more than 60%, up to all, of principal. The Bank’s estimated value is $902.96–$932.96 per $1,000. The securities are unsecured, not CDIC/FDIC insured, and will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. These are one-year, senior unsecured notes with a $10 principal amount per note and a 10.25% per annum contingent coupon, paid quarterly if Amazon’s closing price is at or above the coupon barrier.
The initial level is $210.32, with both the coupon barrier and downside threshold set at $136.71, or 65% of that level. The notes auto-call if Amazon closes at or above the initial level on any observation date, returning principal plus the applicable coupon. If not called and Amazon finishes below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with Amazon’s decline, and investors can lose their entire investment. All payments depend on BNS’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Enhanced Trigger Jump Securities linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc. The notes mature on February 23, 2027 and have a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000 per security.
The securities pay no interest and offer a fixed upside payment of $202.70 per security (20.27% of principal) if the final Amazon share price on the valuation date is at or above a trigger level set at 90.00% of the initial share price. In that case, investors receive $1,202.70 at maturity.
If the final share price is below the trigger level, the maturity payment is $1,000 plus $1,000 times the underlying return, so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline from the initial share price, with no minimum repayment and potential loss of the entire investment. The notes are senior unsecured debt of BNS, not insured, not bail-inable, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to range from $940.60 to $970.60 per $1,000, reflecting structuring and distribution costs and BNS’s internal funding rate. The securities will not be listed, and liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured Market Linked Securities under its Series A program, tied to the lowest performing of Datadog, Intel, Oracle and UnitedHealth common stock, and due February 9, 2029. Each $1,000 note pays a 25.10% per annum contingent coupon monthly only if the lowest performing stock on that calculation day is at or above 50% of its starting price, with a memory feature for previously missed coupons. From August 2026 to January 2029, the notes are automatically called at par plus applicable coupons if the lowest stock is at or above its starting price.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $11,167,000 of senior unsecured capped notes linked to the shares of the SPDR® Gold Trust, maturing on February 24, 2027. These notes provide exposure to the price return of gold via GLD without any interim interest payments.
At maturity, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the reference asset return, capped at a 13.66% maximum return, so the payment cannot exceed $1,136.60 per $1,000. If GLD finishes below its initial value of $455.46, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the decline, but not below $950 per note, limiting loss to 5% of principal.
The notes are subject to the Bank’s credit risk, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on any exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The initial estimated value was $988.42 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,065,000 of autocallable contingent coupon notes linked to JPMorgan Chase & Co. common stock.

The notes may be automatically called on quarterly observation dates if the stock closes at or above the initial value of $322.40, returning $1,000 plus the coupon, with no further payments. If held to maturity on February 9, 2029 and not called, investors receive full principal only if the final stock price is at or above the 70% barrier of $225.68. Below this level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the stock decline, up to a total loss of principal.

If the index ends between 80% and 100% of its initial level, investors earn the absolute value of the loss, up to $1,200 per note. Below 80%, losses are magnified: investors lose 1.25% of principal for each 1% drop beyond the 20% buffer, potentially losing their entire investment.
The initial estimated value is $979.36 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs. The notes are not listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments are subject to Scotiabank’s credit risk.
