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 issuing $1,600,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due February 1, 2029, linked to the common stock of NIKE, Inc. Each $1,000 note pays a contingent coupon of $30.00 per quarter (12.00% per annum) only when NIKE’s closing value is at or above the 70.00% barrier on observation dates.
The notes are automatically called, returning principal plus the applicable coupon, if NIKE’s closing value on any call observation date is at or above the $61.81 initial value. If not called and NIKE’s final value is below the $43.27 barrier, repayment of principal is reduced one-for-one with NIKE’s decline and investors can lose up to 100% of principal.
The notes are senior unsecured obligations of Scotiabank, not insured by Canadian or U.S. deposit insurance, and will not be listed on an exchange. The original issue price is 100% of principal, with 2.00% underwriting commissions; Scotiabank’s initial estimated value is $955.90 per $1,000 note.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $1,022,000 of unsubordinated, unsecured autocallable contingent coupon notes linked to the common stock of Netflix, Inc. The notes mature on February 2, 2029, unless automatically called earlier.
Investors receive a contingent coupon of 13.00% per annum ($32.50 per $1,000) only if Netflix’s closing value on an observation date is at or above the contingent coupon barrier of $58.44, which is 70% of the initial value of $83.49. The same level also serves as the downside barrier.
The notes are automatically called if Netflix’s closing value on any call observation date is at or above the initial value, returning principal plus the applicable contingent coupon. If the notes are not called and Netflix’s final value is below the barrier, the maturity payment is reduced one-for-one with the stock’s decline from the initial value, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal.
The minimum investment is $1,000. The Bank’s initial estimated value is $966.26 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting internal funding, distribution costs and hedging. The notes will not be listed on any exchange, all payments depend on the creditworthiness of Scotiabank, and there may be little or no secondary market.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $4,555,000 of autocallable contingent coupon trigger notes linked to Eli Lilly common stock, maturing on March 4, 2027. Investors receive a monthly contingent coupon of $9.875 per $1,000 (0.9875%, up to 11.85% per year) only when Eli Lilly’s share price is at least 70% of the $1,023.80 initial price on each observation date.
Beginning in July 2026, the notes are automatically called if the stock closes at or above the initial price on a call observation date, returning $1,000 plus that period’s coupon. If the notes are not called and the final price is at least 70% of the initial price, holders receive $1,000 plus the last coupon at maturity. If the final price is below 70%, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the stock’s decline from the initial level, and investors can lose up to their entire principal with no final coupon.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured by any deposit insurance agency, and will not be listed on an exchange. The initial estimated value is $972.62 per $1,000, lower than the issue price because of commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable contingent coupon trigger notes linked to NVIDIA Corporation stock, maturing on August 17, 2027. Investors receive a monthly contingent coupon of $9.417 per $1,000 (about 11.30% per year) only when NVIDIA’s share price on an observation date is at least 53% of the initial price.
Starting in August 2026, the notes are automatically called if NVIDIA’s price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 plus that month’s coupon. If the notes are not called and NVIDIA’s final price is below 53% of the initial price, investors receive NVIDIA shares worth less than 53% of principal and no final coupon, meaning a large or total loss of principal is possible.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not listed on any exchange, and carry both market risk tied to NVIDIA and credit risk of the bank. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $955 per $1,000, reflecting embedded fees and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable GEARS notes linked to an unequally weighted basket of five major equity indices: EURO STOXX 50 (40%), Nikkei 225 (25%), FTSE 100 (17.50%), Swiss Market Index (10%) and S&P/ASX 200 (7.50%). Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000. The notes can be automatically called after about one year if the basket is at or above the initial basket level, paying a call price equal to principal plus a 13.00% call return. If not called, at maturity investors receive principal plus any positive basket return multiplied by upside gearing of 1.72–1.92, return of principal if the basket is at or above a 75.00% downside threshold, or a loss matching the negative basket return if the basket finishes below that threshold, up to total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected to be $9.25–$9.55 per $10, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Enhanced Participation Basket-Linked Notes tied to a weighted basket of five equity indices in Europe, Japan, the UK, Switzerland and Australia. The notes pay no interest and mature about 13–15 months after the trade date.
At maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus leveraged upside if the basket is above its initial level, with a participation rate between 130.00% and 153.00%. If the basket is flat, only principal is returned. If the basket falls, losses are 1% for every 1% decline, up to a total loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is expected between $940.00 and $970.00 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting selling commissions, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate. The notes are not listed, do not pay dividends, and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Market Linked Securities that are auto-callable and linked to the worst-performing of Apple, Amazon.com, Goldman Sachs and NVIDIA through February 10, 2028. Each security has a $1,000 face amount.
The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon at a rate of at least 13.44% per annum only if the lowest-performing stock on each calculation day closes at or above 50% of its starting price. Missed coupons can be recovered later via a “memory” feature if the test is passed on a future date.
From August 2026 to January 2028, the notes are automatically called if the lowest-performing stock is at or above its starting price, returning face amount plus the current and any unpaid coupons. If not called, principal is protected at maturity only if the worst stock is at or above 50% of its starting price; otherwise investors are fully exposed to downside and can lose more than 50%, up to all, of principal.
The bank’s estimated value is $916.24–$946.24 per $1,000, reflecting embedded dealer spread and hedging costs. The securities carry Scotiabank credit risk, pay no dividends, will not be listed on an exchange, and may have limited or no secondary market liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $9,114,820 of senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust (SPY) and the Energy Select Sector SPDR® Fund (XLE), maturing on February 1, 2029.
The notes pay a contingent coupon at a 9.75% per annum rate (about $0.2438 per quarter per $10 note) only if, on each observation date, both ETFs close at or above their coupon barriers, set at 70% of initial levels ($485.83 for SPY and $35.36 for XLE). The notes are automatically called on quarterly dates after six months if both ETFs are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus the applicable coupon.
If not called, and on the final valuation date either ETF is below its downside threshold (also 70% of its initial level), repayment is reduced in line with the worst ETF’s percentage loss, and investors could lose their entire principal. Payments are subject to BNS credit risk, the notes will not be listed, and the initial estimated value is $9.52 per $10 note, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked, senior unsecured notes tied to the worst performer of four industrial stocks: Axon, Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Howmet Aerospace. The total original offering is $1,146,000, priced at $1,000 per security.
The notes pay a 17.25% per annum contingent coupon monthly only if the lowest-performing stock on each observation date stays at or above 50% of its starting price. From July 2026 to December 2028, the notes auto-call at par plus coupon if the lowest stock is at or above its starting price.
If not called, principal is protected only down to a 50% downside threshold; a lower final price for the worst stock causes losses greater than 50% and potentially a total loss of principal. The Bank’s estimated value is $898.49 per note, below the $1,000 issue price, reflecting dealer compensation and hedging costs, and the notes are not listed and carry full Bank of Nova Scotia credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS, which are senior unsecured notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, maturing on or about February 18, 2031. Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000.
The notes may be automatically called on February 22, 2027 if the index closes at or above its initial level, paying a call price of $11.10 per Security, reflecting an 11.00% call return, and then terminate with no further payments. If not called, at maturity investors receive upside exposure to the index, with positive returns multiplied by upside gearing between 1.41 and 1.61.
If the notes are not called and the final index level is at or above 75% of the initial level, principal is repaid. If the final level is below this downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the index loss, and investors can lose their entire principal. The notes pay no interest, are not insured, will not be listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness. The initial estimated value per $10 Security is expected to be between $9.34 and $9.64, lower than the issue price due to selling, structuring and hedging costs.
