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 of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured market-linked notes that pay a 21.00% per annum contingent coupon and can be auto‑called early. The securities are linked to the worst performer among Blackstone, KKR and Blue Owl common stocks and mature in January 2029.
Investors receive quarterly coupons only if the lowest stock on each calculation day is at or above 60% of its starting price, with a “memory” feature that can make up missed payments later. If the notes are not called and the lowest stock finishes below 60% of its starting price at maturity, repayment falls in line with that stock’s loss and investors can lose more than 40%, up to their entire principal. The issue totals $5,042,000 at $1,000 per security, carries an estimated value of $986.04 per security, is not listed on any exchange and is fully exposed to Scotiabank’s credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering 2,840,844 Autocallable Strategic Accelerated Redemption Securities linked to the Russell 2000 Index at $10 principal amount per unit, for a total public offering price of $28,408,440 and gross proceeds to BNS of $27,840,271.20 before expenses.
The notes may be automatically called after roughly one, two, or three years if the index closes at or above the starting level of 2,674.557 on an observation date, paying $11.16, $12.32, or $13.48 per unit, respectively. If the notes are not called and the index ends below the starting level, investors have 1‑to‑1 downside exposure and can lose up to all of their principal. The initial estimated value is $9.67 per unit, reflecting BNS’s internal funding rate, a $0.20 per unit underwriting discount, and a $0.05 per unit hedging-related charge.
The notes pay no periodic interest, offer no dividends from the index constituents, are unsecured senior obligations of BNS, and carry credit risk and limited expected secondary market liquidity.

If not called, at maturity investors get 238.00% of any basket increase but absorb losses 1‑for‑1 if the basket finishes below the starting level, with up to 100.00% of principal at risk. The basket weights 40.00% to the EURO STOXX 50® Index, 20.00% each to the FTSE® 100 Index and Nikkei Stock Average Index, 7.50% each to the Swiss Market Index® and S&P/ASX 200 Index, and 5.00% to the FTSE® China 50 Index. The initial estimated value is $9.57 per unit versus a public offering price of $10.00, reflecting underwriting and hedging costs and BNS’s internal funding rate.
