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.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing senior unsecured Market Linked Securities tied to the common stock of Oracle Corporation, offering a contingent coupon and exposing investors to potential loss of principal. Each security has a $1,000 face amount, with a contingent coupon rate of 12.35% per annum paid quarterly if Oracle’s stock closes at or above a coupon threshold on the applicable calculation day.
The notes are auto-callable from July 2026 to October 2028 if the stock closes at or above the starting price of $191.09, in which case investors receive the face amount plus accrued and unpaid contingent coupons. If the notes are not called and Oracle’s stock is below the downside threshold of $95.545 (50% of the starting price) on the final calculation day, investors lose more than half, and possibly all, of principal. The estimated value at pricing is $948.20 per $1,000 note, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits, and the securities are unsecured obligations subject to the Bank’s credit risk and will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index, maturing around January 31, 2036. The notes may pay quarterly contingent coupons at an annual rate of 7.00% to 7.50% only when each index closes at or above its coupon barrier, set at 75% of its initial level.
The notes can be automatically called after 12 months if both indices are at or above their initial levels on an observation date, returning principal plus the applicable coupon, with no further payments. If not called and any index finishes below its downside threshold (also 75% of initial), repayment at maturity is reduced in line with the worst index’s percentage loss, and investors can lose their entire principal.
The initial estimated value is expected between $8.641 and $8.941 per $10 note, below the public issue price, reflecting structuring and hedging costs. The notes will not be listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked securities tied to the common stock of Oklo Inc., due January 22, 2027. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and may pay a 30.00% per annum contingent coupon, calculated monthly, but only when Oklo’s stock closing price on the relevant calculation day is at or above the coupon threshold of $47.475, which is 50% of the $94.95 starting price. Missed coupons can be paid later under a “memory” feature if the threshold is subsequently met.
The notes are auto-callable on monthly dates from July 2026 to December 2026 if Oklo’s stock closes at or above the starting price, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the final and any unpaid coupons. If not called, at maturity investors receive $1,000 only if the final stock price is at or above the downside threshold of $47.475; otherwise the payoff is $1,000 multiplied by the stock’s performance, so a drop of more than 50% leads to loss of more than half, up to all, of principal.
The Bank’s estimated value is $931.02 per $1,000 security (93.102%) due to embedded selling, structuring and hedging costs. The securities do not participate in any upside of Oklo’s stock, pay no dividends, are not listed on any exchange, and all payments depend on the credit of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
Scotiabank, through The Bank of Nova Scotia, expects net income of approximately CAD $81 million in Q1 2026 from its ownership interest in KeyCorp. This reflects Scotiabank’s share of KeyCorp’s Q4 2025 net income, reported on a one-month lag and after related funding costs and acquisition-related and other accounting impacts.
Excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets of about CAD $8 million, the adjusted net income contribution is expected to be roughly CAD $89 million, a non-GAAP measure. Scotiabank plans to release its first quarter financial results and hold an earnings conference call on February 24, 2026.
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.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering 534,506 Autocallable Leveraged Index Return Notes linked to an international equity index basket, each with a $10 principal amount and a term of about three years. The notes can be automatically called on January 21, 2027 at $11.00 per unit (a 10.00% return over principal) if the basket is at or above its 100.00 starting level.
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.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $4,014,000 of unsecured senior capped notes linked to the SPDR® Gold Shares ETF (GLD), maturing on February 3, 2027. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount and was priced at 100% of principal, with proceeds to the bank of 99% after fees.
At maturity, if GLD’s final value is above its initial value of $421.29, holders receive $1,000 plus the positive return of GLD, capped at a Maximum Return of 12.27% (maximum payment $1,122.70 per note). If GLD is unchanged, investors receive $1,000. If GLD falls, the payout is $1,000 plus the negative return, but not less than $950 per note, so investors may lose up to 5% of principal.
The notes pay no interest, are not listed on an exchange, and secondary liquidity may be limited. All payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia, and the notes are not insured by the CDIC or FDIC. The initial estimated value was $986.32 per $1,000, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $9,831,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffer Notes linked to Vertiv Holdings Co common stock, maturing on February 3, 2027.
Each $1,000 Note can be automatically called on quarterly Observation Dates if Vertiv’s stock closes at or above the Initial Value of $176.93, returning principal plus a $51.125 contingent coupon and any unpaid “memory” coupons. If the Notes are not called, you receive principal back at maturity only if the Final Value is at least 65% of the Initial Value, a 35% buffer set at $115.00.
If the Final Value is below this Buffer Value, repayment is reduced using a downside leverage factor of about 1.5385, and you can lose up to 100% of principal. Coupons are not guaranteed and may never be paid. The Notes are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, carry the Bank’s credit risk, will not be listed, and had an initial estimated value of $986.21 per $1,000, below the issue price.

The Notes pay no interest, are unsecured obligations of the Bank, and had an initial estimated value of $982.49 per $1,000, below the issue price.
