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 notes tied to Palantir Technologies Inc. stock, with auto-call and contingent coupons. The notes pay a quarterly coupon at a rate of at least 15.30% per annum only if Palantir’s closing price is at or above 50% of the starting price on each calculation day, with a memory feature for missed coupons.
If the notes are not called and Palantir’s final price is below 50% of the starting price, investors lose more than 50%, up to all, of principal; upside is capped at par, so any positive return comes solely from coupons. The Bank’s estimated value per $1,000 note would be between $926.35 and $956.35, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits. The securities are senior unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured, not listed on an exchange, and subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering capped buffered enhanced participation notes linked to the S&P 500® Index. The notes pay no interest and return at maturity depends on index performance over roughly 24 to 27 months.

A 15.00% downside buffer protects against moderate losses, but below 85.00% of the initial level losses accelerate at a buffer rate of approximately 117.65%, and up to 100% of principal can be lost.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured, and will not be listed on any exchange. The initial estimated value is expected between $945.07 and $975.07 per $1,000, below the 100% original issue price, reflecting fees, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
