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 Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® Index and EURO STOXX 50® Index. Each Note has a $10 principal amount and a contingent coupon rate between 7.50% and 7.75% per annum, payable quarterly only if both indices are at or above coupon barriers set at 75% of their initial levels.
The Notes can be automatically called quarterly after 12 months if both indices are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus the contingent coupon. If not called and any index finishes below its downside threshold (also 75% of initial level), repayment is reduced in line with the worst index’s loss, up to a total loss of principal. The term is approximately 10 years, the minimum investment is 100 Notes ($1,000), and the initial estimated value is $8.71–$9.01 per $10, below the $10 issue price. Payments depend entirely on BNS’s credit, and the Notes will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Dual Directional Buffered Performance Leveraged Upside Securities (“Buffered PLUS”) linked to the shares of the SPDR® Gold Trust (GLD), maturing on or about February 17, 2028. These are senior unsecured notes with a $1,000 stated principal amount each and pay no coupons.
If the final GLD share price is above the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus 200.00% of the positive return, capped at a maximum upside gain of 31.30%, or $1,313.00 per note. If GLD is down by up to the 10.00% buffer, investors get an unleveraged positive return equal to that decline, up to a 10.00% gain. If GLD falls more than 10.00%, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% drop, with a minimum payment at maturity of $100.00, meaning up to 90.00% of principal can be lost.
The notes are subject to BNS credit risk, are not insured, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $930.12 and $960.12 per $1,000, reflecting underwriting discounts, structuring fees and hedging costs.
