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 offering $2,982,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffer Notes linked to the common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc., maturing January 27, 2027. Investors receive a contingent coupon of $39.80 per $1,000 note on scheduled dates only if Meta’s closing price is at or above 85% of the initial level of $653.06, with missed coupons potentially paid later under the “memory” feature.
The notes are automatically called if Meta’s price on an observation date is at or above the initial level, returning principal plus due coupons. If the notes are not called and Meta’s final value is at least 85% of the initial value, investors receive full principal back. If the final value falls more than 15% below the initial level, repayment is reduced on a leveraged basis (about 1.1765% loss of principal for each 1% drop beyond the 15% buffer), up to a total loss. The notes are subject to the credit risk of the Bank, are not insured, will not be listed, and have an initial estimated value of $984.68 per $1,000, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked notes that are auto-callable and tied to the worst performer of Dell Class C, Marvell Technology and NVIDIA common stock. Each security has a $1,000 face amount, no interest payments and no listing, and all payments depend on the Bank’s credit.
The notes may 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 50%. If not called, at maturity in January 2029 investors receive: leveraged upside of 425% of any gain in the lowest stock; return of face amount if that stock is between 50% and 100% of its starting price; or full downside exposure if it finishes below 50%, with losses that can reach 100% of principal.
The preliminary estimated value is between $900 and $927.94 per $1,000 security, reflecting selling costs and hedging profits that may weigh on secondary prices. The notes are concentrated in information technology stocks, carry liquidity and reinvestment risks, and involve complex U.S. and Canadian tax considerations.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, expected to mature on February 25, 2027, under its Senior Note Program.
Investors may receive a monthly contingent coupon of $10.292 per $1,000 principal (approximately 1.0292%, or up to about 12.35% per annum) if NVIDIA’s closing price on an observation date is at or above 59.00% of the initial price. The notes can be automatically called starting in July 2026 if NVIDIA’s price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price, in which case investors receive $1,000 plus the applicable coupon and the notes terminate early.
If the notes are not called and the final price on the valuation date is below 59.00% of the initial price, investors receive a predetermined number of NVIDIA shares (or cash equivalent) whose value is less than 59% of principal, resulting in substantial or total loss of invested amount. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $925.00 and $955.00 per $1,000 due to fees, hedging costs and the Bank’s internal funding rate. Payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia, and the notes will not be listed on any exchange or insured by deposit insurance schemes.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the MSCI EAFE® Index. These unsecured senior notes do not pay interest and mature in about 16–18 months.
At maturity, for each $1,000 note, if the index is above its initial level, holders receive $1,000 plus 160% of the index gain, capped at a maximum payment expected between $1,166.72 and $1,196.00. If the index is flat or down by up to 10%, holders receive $1,000 back. Below a 10% decline, losses accelerate at about 111.11% of further downside and investors can lose their entire principal.
The notes are based on the price return of the MSCI EAFE® Index only, with no dividends, will not be listed on any exchange, and are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $948.90 and $978.90 per $1,000, less than the original issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to Tesla, Inc. common stock, maturing on January 13, 2028. These senior unsecured notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $43.375 per $1,000 (equivalent to 17.35% per annum) for any determination date on which Tesla’s closing price is at least 60.00% of the initial share price, using a “memory” feature to catch up missed coupons when the condition is later satisfied.
The notes can be auto-called if Tesla’s price on any non-final determination date is at or above the call threshold price of $435.80, in which case investors receive principal plus the due coupon(s) and the notes terminate early. At maturity, if Tesla’s final price is at or above the downside threshold of $261.48, investors receive principal plus any due coupons. If it is below that level, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with Tesla’s decline from the initial share price, and the payoff can be as low as zero.
Investors do not participate in any upside beyond coupons, forgo Tesla dividends, face full principal risk, and are exposed to the credit risk of BNS. The securities are not listed, and the estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $941.67 and $971.67 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable contingent coupon trigger notes linked to the common stock of GE Vernova Inc. These unsecured senior notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $12.959 per $1,000 (about 1.2959% per month, or approximately 15.55% per year) only when GE Vernova’s share price on an observation date is at or above 55% of the initial price.
Starting 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 per note plus that month’s coupon, with no further payments. If not called, and on the final valuation date the stock is at or above 55% of the initial price, holders receive full principal plus the final coupon. If the stock finishes below 55%, principal is reduced one-for-one with the stock’s decline, up to a total loss, and no final coupon is paid.
The notes are not principal protected, will not be listed on an exchange, and all payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia. The initial estimated value per $1,000 is expected to be between $925 and $955, reflecting embedded fees and hedging costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering unsecured digital notes linked to the S&P 500® Index under its Senior Note Program. These notes have a term of approximately 27 to 30 months, pay no interest and are issued at 100% of their $1,000 principal amount per note, in minimum investments of $1,000.
At maturity, if the S&P 500 final level is at least 85.00% of its initial level, investors receive a fixed "threshold settlement amount" expected to be between $1,159.60 and $1,187.70 per $1,000, capping upside even if the index rises sharply. If the index falls more than 15.00%, repayment drops below principal according to a buffer rate of approximately 117.65%, so a deep decline can result in up to a 100% loss of invested principal.
The initial estimated value is expected to be between $957.50 and $987.50 per $1,000, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs. The notes are not insured, will not be listed on an exchange, and any secondary market making by Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. is discretionary. All payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering contingent income auto-callable securities linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, maturing on or about January 22, 2027. Each security has a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000 and is a senior unsecured note under BNS’ Senior Note Program, Series A.
Holders can receive a contingent quarterly coupon of $32.90 per security (equivalent to 13.16% per annum) on each determination date where NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above 60% of the initial share price, with a “memory” feature that can pay previously missed coupons if a later observation meets the threshold. If NVIDIA’s price on any non-final determination date is at or above 100% of the initial share price, the notes are auto-called and pay principal plus due coupons; no further amounts are paid afterward.
If the notes are not called and NVIDIA’s final share price is below 60% of the initial share price, repayment at maturity is reduced 1‑for‑1 with the stock’s decline and can be less than 60% of principal or zero, so investors can lose their entire investment. Investors do not receive NVIDIA dividends, do not participate in stock upside, and all payments are subject to BNS’ credit risk. The notes will not be listed, and the estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be $946.52–$976.52 per $1,000, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due around January 19, 2029, linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays a contingent quarterly coupon of $27.75 per security (equivalent to 11.10% per annum) for any determination date on which NVIDIA’s closing price is at least 50.00% of the initial share price, helped by a "memory" feature that can catch up missed coupons.
The notes are auto-callable: if NVIDIA closes at or above 100.00% of the initial share price on any non-final determination date, investors receive their principal plus the applicable coupon (and any unpaid coupons), and the securities terminate early. At maturity, if the final NVIDIA price is at least 50.00% of the initial price, investors receive principal plus the due coupon(s). If it is below 50.00%, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with NVIDIA’s decline, potentially to $0, so principal is at risk.
The securities are senior unsecured debt of BNS, subject to BNS credit risk, not insured, not bail‑inable under the CDIC Act, and will not be listed on any exchange. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected between $936.47 and $966.47 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs and BNS’ internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to Eli Lilly common stock, maturing around January 19, 2029. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays a $25.50 quarterly contingent coupon (equivalent to 10.20% per annum) only when Eli Lilly’s closing price on a determination date is at least 65.00% of the initial share price.
If on any non-final determination date the stock is at or above the 100.00% call threshold, the notes are automatically redeemed for principal plus the due coupon and any unpaid coupons under the memory feature. If held to maturity and the final share price is below the 65.00% downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with the stock’s decline and can fall to zero, so investors risk losing their entire investment. Payments depend on BNS’s credit, the securities will not be listed, and the initial estimated value is expected to be between $938.40 and $968.40 per $1,000.
