The Bank of Nova Scotia filed a Form 6-K that is incorporated by reference into its existing Form F-3 shelf registration. The filing mainly provides legal opinions supporting previously arranged senior medium-term note issuances in the U.S. market.

Subject to stated assumptions and qualifications, the notes are described as legal, valid and binding obligations of the bank under New York law and entitled to the benefits of the governing indenture.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $10 Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities linked to the Russell 2000 Index, totaling 3,469,186 units with a public offering price of $34,691,860. The notes may be automatically called after about one, two, or three years if the index closes at or above the 2,654.776 starting level on an observation date.
If called, investors receive $11.195, $12.390, or $13.585 per unit, depending on which observation date triggers the call, and no further payments. If never called and the index ends below the starting level, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with index declines, putting up to 100% of principal at risk. There are no interest payments or dividends, and all amounts depend on BNS’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,834,000 of Capped Buffered Index-Linked Notes tied to the worst performer of the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, maturing August 3, 2027. The notes pay no interest and are unsecured senior debt of the bank.
At maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus 120% of the least-performing index’s gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,192.50 per $1,000. A 10% downside buffer applies, but if the worst index falls more than 10%, principal losses match the excess decline, up to a 90% loss.
The initial estimated value is $955.14 per $1,000, below par, reflecting fees and hedging costs. Underwriting commissions are 2.10% of principal, with issuer proceeds of $1,795,486. The notes are not listed, provide no dividends, and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing autocallable contingent coupon trigger notes linked to the shares of the VanEck Semiconductor ETF. The total offering is $1,154,000, in $1,000 denominations, maturing on May 4, 2027, unless automatically called earlier.
Holders may receive contingent coupons of $25.625 per quarter per $1,000 note (2.5625% quarterly, up to 10.25% per annum) only if the ETF’s closing price on an observation date is at least 70.00% of the initial price of $417.52. The notes can be automatically called starting in July 2026 if the ETF closes at or above the initial price on a call observation date.
At maturity, if not called, principal is fully repaid only if the final price is at least 70.00% of the initial price; below that level, losses match the ETF’s negative performance and can reach 100% of principal, with no coupon. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not listed on any exchange, and their payments depend entirely on the Bank’s creditworthiness. The initial estimated value is $954.00 per $1,000 note, below the original issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured market-linked securities tied to a 50/50 basket of the EURO STOXX 50® and S&P 500® indices, maturing on August 2, 2029. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and pays no periodic interest or dividends.
At maturity, investors receive at least $1,000, plus 100% of any basket gain, capped at a 24.00% maximum return, for a maximum payment of $1,240 per security. If the basket is flat or down, only the face amount is repaid. The Bank’s estimated value on the pricing date is $957.29 (95.729%) per security, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits that may depress secondary market prices.
The notes are unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and are not listed on any exchange, so liquidity may be limited. Total initial offering is $1,956,000, with agents receiving discounts and concessions from the offering price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, maturing on November 12, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and pays no interest.
At maturity, if the index is above its initial level, investors gain 150% of the index’s price return, capped by a maximum payment expected to be at least $1,200 per $1,000. If the index is flat or down by up to 11%, investors receive their principal back. If it falls more than 11%, investors lose 1% of principal for each additional 1% decline, and could lose up to 89% of principal.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $925 and $955 per $1,000, reflecting fees, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia plans to issue principal-at-risk structured notes linked to the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF. Each $1,000 security offers a contingent monthly coupon of $16.00 (equivalent to 19.20% per annum) if the ETF’s closing price is at or above 80% of the $47.49 initial share price.
The notes are auto-callable if the ETF closes at or above 100% of the initial share price on any monthly determination date, returning $1,000 plus due coupons. If held to maturity and the final share price is below the 80% downside threshold, investors lose 1.25% of principal for every 1% decline and can lose their entire investment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked “Capped Notes with Absolute Return Buffer” tied to the Russell 2000® Index. Each note has a $10 principal amount, a term of about 14 months, and provides 1‑to‑1 upside exposure to Index gains, capped at a 12.00% maximum return.
If the Index ends below its starting level but at or above a threshold between 88.00% and 93.00% of that level, investors receive a positive return equal to the absolute value of the Index decline. Below the threshold, principal is lost on a 1‑to‑1 basis, with up to 88.00%–93.00% of principal at risk. The notes pay no periodic interest, all cash flows occur at maturity, and payments are subject to the senior unsecured credit risk of BNS.
The initial estimated value is expected to range from $9.189 to $9.489 per unit, below the $10.00 public offering price, reflecting an underwriting discount of $0.175 per unit and a hedging‑related charge of $0.05 per unit. The notes will not be listed on any exchange and secondary market liquidity is expected to be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $28,414,600 of Buffer Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, at $10 per Security under its Senior Note Program.
The notes run for about three years and may be automatically called on February 5, 2027 if the index closes at or above the initial level of 2,613.743. In that case, holders receive the call price of $11.53 per Security, reflecting a 15.30% call return, and the investment ends early.
If the notes are not called and the index finishes above the initial level on the final valuation date, maturity payment equals $10 × (1 + underlying return × 1.10 upside gearing). If the final index level is between 95% and 100% of the initial level, investors receive their $10 principal. Below the 95% downside threshold, principal is reduced after a 5% buffer, and losses can approach nearly the full investment.
The Securities pay no interest, offer no dividends from index constituents, and rely entirely on BNS’s credit for repayment. They are not insured by Canadian or U.S. deposit insurance and are not bail-inable under the CDIC Act. The initial estimated value is $9.78 per Security, below the $10 issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs. The notes will not be listed, and secondary market liquidity is expected to be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,083,000 of unsubordinated, unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes with Memory Coupon linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and matures February 3, 2028, unless automatically called earlier.
The Notes can be automatically called if Broadcom’s share price on a Call Observation Date is at or above the Initial Value of $331.30, returning principal plus any due contingent coupons. Investors may receive contingent coupons of $31.875 per Note (12.75% per annum) only when Broadcom stays at or above the 50.00% barrier of $165.65. If not called and Broadcom finishes below the barrier, investors receive 3.0184 Broadcom shares per Note (subject to rounding) instead of principal and can lose up to 100.00% of their investment. The initial estimated value is $959.70 per $1,000, and all payments are subject to Scotiabank’s credit risk.
