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 unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH), maturing in June 2027. These notes can be redeemed early if SMH closes at or above its initial price on quarterly call dates from August 2026 to February 2027.
Holders may receive quarterly contingent coupons of at least $32.50 per $1,000 note (at least 3.25% per quarter, up to at least 13.00% per year) only when SMH is at or above 70% of its initial price on an observation date. If the notes are not called and SMH’s final price is below 70% of the initial level, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the ETF’s decline, up to a complete loss of principal and no coupon. The notes are not FDIC- or CDIC-insured, will not be listed on an exchange, pay no dividends, and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s credit. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000 note, below the issue price due to fees, structuring and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the Russell 2000® Index, maturing in December 2027. The notes pay no interest and repay at maturity based on index performance between the trade and valuation dates.
Investors receive 150% of any positive index return, capped at a maximum payment amount expected to be at least $1,232.50 per $1,000 note. A 10% downside buffer applies: losses begin if the index falls more than 10%, with losses of 1% for each additional 1% decline, up to a 90% principal loss. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, below issue price, and any payment depends on Scotiabank’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable trigger notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index and Russell 2000 Index, maturing in March 2028. The notes pay no interest and are unsecured senior debt.
The notes auto-call in March 2027 if both indices are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus a call premium expected to be at least 14.75%. If not called, maturity payment depends on the worse-performing index: investors get 250% of its positive gain, principal back if it stays at or above 75% of its initial level, or a one-for-one loss if it falls below that trigger. Investors can lose up to their entire investment, and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s credit. Initial estimated value is between $925 and $965 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, funding and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the Russell 2000 Index, maturing on December 1, 2027. These unsecured senior notes pay no interest and repay at maturity based on index performance between an expected February 26, 2026 trade date and a November 26, 2027 valuation date.
For each $1,000 note, investors receive 150% of any positive index return, capped by a maximum payment amount expected to be at least $1,200. If the index falls up to 10%, principal is returned. Below a 10% decline, losses match the index drop beyond that buffer, up to a 90% loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, reflecting internal funding, underwriting commissions of up to 2.20% and structuring fees. The notes are not listed, have limited liquidity, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable trigger notes linked to the worst performer of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the Russell 2000 Index, maturing in March 2028. The notes pay no interest and will be automatically called in 2027 if both indices are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus a call premium expected to be at least 10.75%.
If not called, holders get 250% of the positive return of the weaker index if both finish above their initial levels. If any index finishes between 75% and 100% of its initial level, only principal is returned. If any index ends below 75% of its initial level, losses match the percentage decline of the worst index, up to a total loss. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, below issue price, and all payments depend on Scotiabank’s credit.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering market-linked, senior unsecured notes that pay a contingent quarterly coupon of at least 8.00% per annum, but only when the lowest of the S&P 500, Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average closes at or above 75% of its starting level on each calculation day.
The notes are auto-callable quarterly from August 2026 through November 2029 if the lowest-performing index is at or above its starting level, in which case investors receive the $1,000 face amount plus a final coupon. If the notes are not called and, on the final calculation day in February 2030, the lowest-performing index is below 75% of its starting level, investors lose more than 25% and up to all of principal.
The preliminary estimated value is between 91.683% and 94.683% of the $1,000 price, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits, and the notes are designed to be held to maturity with no stock upside or dividends, full index downside below the threshold, complex tax treatment and exposure to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index, with a term of about 22 to 25 months and no interest payments. At maturity, investors receive $1,000 per note plus 160% of any index gain, but returns are capped at an expected $1,186.72 to $1,219.52 per $1,000.
If the S&P 500® falls by up to 12.50%, investors receive their principal back. If it falls by more than 12.50%, principal is reduced at about 1.1429% for every additional 1% decline, potentially resulting in a total loss. The initial estimated value is expected between $958.80 and $988.80 per $1,000, reflecting fees and the bank’s internal funding rate. The notes are unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not listed on an exchange, and subject to the bank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $16,985,000 of Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and EURO STOXX 50 Index. The notes pay a 7.50% per annum contingent coupon only if both indices stay at or above 75% of their initial levels on quarterly observation dates.
The notes may be automatically called after 12 months if both indices are at or above their initial levels, returning principal plus the due coupon. If not called and any index finishes below its 75% downside threshold at maturity in 2036, investors lose principal in line with the worst index, up to a total loss. The notes are unsecured BNS debt, not listed, with an initial estimated value of $9.066 per $10 note and a $1,000 minimum investment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured, auto-callable equity-linked securities tied to the common stock of Oklo Inc., maturing in February 2027. Each note has a $1,000 face amount and is designed to pay high contingent coupons rather than fixed interest.
Investors may receive monthly coupons at a rate of at least 29.25% per annum, but only when Oklo’s stock closes on the calculation day at or above the coupon threshold, set at 50% of the starting price. Missed coupons have a “memory” feature and can be paid later if the stock recovers above the threshold. From August 2026 through January 2027, the notes can be automatically called at par plus any due coupons if Oklo’s stock closes at or above the starting price.
If the notes are not called, principal is protected only if the final stock price is at or above the same 50% downside threshold. If the final price is below that level, repayment is reduced in line with Oklo’s decline, and investors can lose more than half, up to all, of principal. The bank’s estimated value per $1,000 security would be between $918.16 and $948.16, reflecting dealer compensation and hedging costs, and the notes are not listed and carry the issuer’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000® Index and the EURO STOXX 50® Index. Each Note has a $10 principal amount and a term of approximately five years.
The Notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon at an annual rate between 7.80% and 8.30% only if both indices are at or above 70% of their initial levels on the relevant observation date. The Notes may be automatically called after 12 months if both indices are at or above their initial levels, in which case investors receive $10 plus the coupon and the Notes terminate.
If not called, and at maturity both indices are at or above their 70% downside thresholds, investors receive the $10 principal. If any index is below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced in line with the loss of the worst-performing index, up to a total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $9.01 and $9.31 per $10 Note, the Notes will not be listed, and all payments depend on BNS credit risk.
