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 offering Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index. These unsecured senior notes run for about 17 to 20 months and pay no interest. At maturity, investors get leveraged exposure to any index gain through a 150.00% participation rate, but the payoff is capped by a maximum payment amount per $1,000 of principal.
If the index is flat or down by up to 10.00%, investors receive their full principal back. If it falls by more than 10.00%, losses accelerate, with up to 100% of principal at risk. The initial estimated value, based on the bank’s internal models, is expected to be between $945.58 and $975.58 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the notes will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited. All payments depend on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Market Linked Securities tied to an unequally weighted basket of equity indices: EURO STOXX 50® (38%), TOPIX® (26%), FTSE® 100 (17%), Swiss Market Index (11%) and S&P/ASX 200 (8%). Each security has a $1,000 face amount, no interest payments and matures on January 3, 2031.
At maturity, if the basket ending level is above the starting level of 100.00, holders receive $1,000 plus 167.00% of the basket’s percentage gain. If the ending level is between 75 (the 75% threshold level) and 100, holders receive only the $1,000 face amount. If the ending level is below 75, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the basket loss, so more than 25%, and possibly all, of principal can be lost.
The original offering price is $1,000 per security, with an agent discount of $38.70 (3.87%) and proceeds to the Bank of $961.30 per security, for a total offering of $1,143,000.00.

The notes provide 200% upside participation in any positive index performance, but gains are capped at a 41.40% maximum return, so the most an investor can receive is $1,414 per $1,000 note.
