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 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.

Investors may receive a contingent coupon of $17.50 per note (7.00% per annum) on scheduled observation dates if XLE’s closing value is at or above the contingent coupon barrier of $35.74, equal to 70% of the initial value of $51.05. The same 70% level is the barrier value used at maturity.
If on any call observation date XLE is at or above its initial value, the notes are automatically called at $1,000 per note plus the applicable coupon, and no further payments are made. If the notes are not called and XLE finishes below the barrier, repayment of principal is reduced one-for-one with XLE’s loss, up to a total loss of the $1,000 principal.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Bank, not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on any exchange. The Bank’s initial estimated value is $966.43 per $1,000, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs, so secondary market values may initially be below the issue price.

The notes are unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, not listed on an exchange, have a $10,000 minimum, and had an initial estimated value of $972.28 per $1,000, below the issue price.
