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 is offering unsecured, senior buffered index-linked notes tied to the S&P 500 Index, maturing around June 1, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and pays no interest.
At maturity, investors get upside or downside based on index performance from the trade date to the valuation date. Gains match index gains but are capped by a maximum upside payment amount expected to be at least $1,087.50 per $1,000. If the index falls by up to 10%, investors earn the absolute index move, up to $1,100 per $1,000. Below a 10% decline, losses resume one-for-one beyond that buffer, so investors can lose up to 90% of principal.
Payments depend entirely on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness, the notes are not insured, and there is no exchange listing, so liquidity may be limited. The initial estimated value per note is expected to be $925–$965, below the 100% original issue price due to fees, hedging and funding costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable contingent coupon trigger notes linked to the common stock of Netflix, Inc. The notes are unsecured senior debt, denominated in $1,000 increments, and are scheduled to mature on March 8, 2027, unless called earlier.
Investors can receive a monthly contingent coupon of $9.25 per $1,000 (0.925% per month, up to 11.10% per year) if Netflix’s closing price on each observation date is at least 70% of the initial price. The notes are automatically called, returning $1,000 plus the relevant coupon, if Netflix’s price on specified call observation dates from August 2026 to February 2027 is at or above the initial price.
If the notes are not called and the final price is at least 70% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon. If the final price is below 70%, holders receive Netflix shares worth less than 70% of principal (or cash equivalent), resulting in loss of all or a substantial portion of the investment. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $955 per $1,000, reflecting fees, funding costs and hedging. Any payment depends on Scotiabank’s creditworthiness, and the notes are not listed on any exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured autocallable contingent coupon trigger notes linked to the common stock of Salesforce, Inc., expected to mature on March 12, 2027, under its senior note program.
The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $9.167 per $1,000 (0.9167%, about 11.00% per year) only if Salesforce’s closing price on each observation date is at least 68.00% of the initial price. Starting with the August 2026 observation date, the notes are automatically called if Salesforce closes at or above the initial price, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and the notes terminate.
If the notes are not called and the final price on the March 9, 2027 final valuation date is at least 68.00% of the initial price, investors receive full principal plus the final coupon. If the final price is below 68.00%, repayment is reduced one‑for‑one with Salesforce’s decline from the initial price, and investors can lose up to their entire investment. The notes are not listed, carry significant liquidity and valuation risks, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value is expected between $925.00 and $955.00 per $1,000 principal amount.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering capped buffered index-linked notes tied to the worst performer of the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, maturing around September 1, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, no interest payments, and all cash flows depend on the Bank’s credit.
At maturity, investors get enhanced upside with a 120% participation rate, but returns are capped by a maximum payment expected to be at least $1,267.50 per $1,000. A 10% buffer protects against moderate declines in the worst index; below 90% of its initial level, principal losses mirror further declines, up to a 90% loss.
The payoff is based solely on index levels on the valuation date in August 2027 and excludes dividends. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, reflecting structuring and hedging costs and implying the notes may initially trade below issue price. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations and will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Digital Trigger Notes linked to the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, maturing in March 2029. The notes pay no interest and may be automatically called in February 2027 if both indices are at or above their initial levels.
If called, investors receive $1,000 plus a call premium of at least 7.60% per $1,000. If not called, maturity payoff depends on the worst-performing index. If both final levels are at or above initial, the payout is the greater of $1,400 or $1,000 plus the least-performing index return.
If any index finishes below its initial level but at least 85% of it, investors receive only the $1,000 principal. If any index ends below 85% of its initial level, repayment falls one-for-one with the worst index decline, down to a total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $965 per $1,000, reflecting underwriting commissions and structuring fees.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the Class A common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc., maturing March 8, 2027. Each $1,000 note pays a monthly contingent coupon of $8.875 (0.8875%, up to 10.65% per year) if Meta’s closing price on the observation date is at least 68.00% of the initial price. The notes are automatically called if, on specified call observation dates from August 2026 to February 2027, Meta closes at or above the initial price, triggering repayment of $1,000 plus the coupon for that month.
If the notes are not called and Meta’s final price on the March 3, 2027 valuation date is at least 68.00% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon. If the final price is below 68.00%, investors receive Meta shares worth less than 68% of principal and no coupon, meaning a loss of all or a substantial portion of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $925 and $955 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the notes will not be listed, with secondary pricing affected by fees, hedging and the issuer’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $4,619,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, maturing on July 27, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, pays no interest and is an unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of the bank.
At maturity, if the index is above the initial level of 6,915.61, investors receive principal plus 150% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,153.75 per $1,000 (a 15.375% maximum return). If the index is flat or down by up to 10%, investors receive back their $1,000.
If the index is down more than 10%, principal is reduced: investors lose about 1.1111% of principal for every 1% decline beyond the 10% buffer, and can lose up to all of their investment. The notes will not be listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value is $974.77 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, hedging and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $15,045,000 of unsecured digital notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, maturing July 27, 2027. Each $1,000 note pays no interest and its value at maturity depends on the index level on July 23, 2027 versus the initial level of 6,915.61 set on January 23, 2026. If the final index level is at least 85% of the initial level, holders receive a fixed maximum payment of $1,099.20 per $1,000 note, capping total return at 9.92%. If the final level falls more than 15% below the initial level, principal loss accelerates at about 1.1765% for every additional 1% decline, up to a total loss of principal. The notes are not insured, are not listed on an exchange, and any payment depends on Scotiabank’s credit. The initial estimated value is $981.03 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting fees, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes that are auto-callable and tied to the lowest performing of Broadcom, Alphabet Class C and Netflix stock. Each $1,000 note can be automatically called after about one year if the lowest performing stock is at or above its starting price, paying back $1,000 plus a call premium of at least 37.50%. If not called, at maturity investors receive either 300% of any gain in the lowest stock, a positive return equal to its loss (capped at 50%) if it falls but stays above 50% of its start, or full downside exposure if it drops below 50%, which can mean losing most or all of principal. The notes pay no interest or dividends, are not listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on the credit of The Bank of Nova Scotia, with an estimated value between 91.842% and 94.842% of the $1,000 price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured digital notes linked to the least performing of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, maturing in March 2028. The notes pay no interest and are designed to return either a capped gain or only principal at maturity.
If on the valuation date both indices are at or above their initial levels, holders receive a fixed "threshold settlement amount," expected to be at least $1,112.50 per $1,000 of principal, regardless of how far the indices have risen. If either index finishes below its initial level, the payment is limited to the $1,000 principal, so any upside is forgone and the real value may be eroded by inflation.
The initial estimated value is expected to be $925–$965 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting structuring fees, dealer compensation and hedging costs, which may pressure secondary market prices. The notes will not be listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
