Scotiabank, through The Bank of Nova Scotia, reset the interest rate on its $1.25 billion principal amount of 3.70% Fixed Rate Resetting Limited Recourse Capital Notes, Series 1 (NVCC) for the five-year period from July 27, 2026 to July 27, 2031. The new interest rate on these subordinated Notes will be 5.987% per annum, calculated as the Government of Canada Yield on the business day before the reset date plus 2.761%, with interest payable quarterly in arrears on January 27, April 27, July 27 and October 27, starting October 27, 2026. The Notes are scheduled to mature on July 27, 2081.
In connection with these Notes, the bank also has $1.25 billion principal amount of Fixed Rate Resetting Perpetual Subordinated Additional Tier 1 Capital Notes (NVCC) held in a Limited Recourse Trust, and these AT1 Notes will also bear interest at 5.987% per annum for the same five-year period on the same calculation basis. If interest or principal on the Notes is not paid when due, holders’ sole recourse is to their proportionate share of the Limited Recourse Trust assets, consisting of the AT1 Notes except in limited circumstances. The Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part from June 27 to July 27, 2031, and every five years thereafter, subject to approval from the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (Canada) and required notice, with a corresponding redemption of an equal principal amount of AT1 Notes. Scotiabank reports assets of approximately $1.5 trillion as of April 30, 2026.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank) expects its ownership interest in KeyCorp to contribute approximately CAD $82 million of net income in Q3 2026. This reflects Scotiabank’s share of KeyCorp’s Q2 2026 net income, incorporates acquisition-related and other accounting impacts, is net of associated funding costs, and is recognized on a one-month lag.
After adjusting for the amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately CAD $8 million, Scotiabank estimates an adjusted net income contribution from KeyCorp of approximately CAD $90 million, presented as a non-GAAP measure. Scotiabank plans to release its third quarter financial results and host an earnings conference call on August 25, 2026. The bank reports total assets of approximately $1.5 trillion as at April 30, 2026.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is registering common shares on Form F-4 to use as stock consideration in its acquisition of Maple Financial Holdings, Inc.. Maple will be merged with a BNS merger subsidiary and survive as a wholly owned BNS subsidiary.
Each outstanding share of Maple voting and non‑voting common stock and preferred stock (other than excluded and perfected-dissenting shares) will convert at closing into BNS common shares based on a formula: the Per Share Consideration Amount (US$25 million plus Maple’s Closing Equity Capital, divided by fully diluted Maple shares) divided by the 10‑day volume‑weighted average BNS share price. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
The merger requires regulatory approvals from OSFI, the Federal Reserve and the Texas Department of Banking, NYSE and TSX listing of the new BNS shares, an effective SEC registration statement, Maple tangible equity capital of at least US$70 million, and two‑thirds approval by each class of Maple voting common and preferred stock. Maple may owe BNS US$6.5 million in liquidated damages if the agreement is terminated in certain acquisition‑proposal scenarios. BNS expects to close in the fourth quarter of 2026 and will account for the deal as an IFRS business combination.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $9,000,000 of senior unsecured Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes maturing on July 17, 2036, linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index. The notes pay a 9.00% per annum contingent coupon (quarterly, $0.225 per $10 note) only if on each observation date both indices close at or above their coupon barriers.
The initial levels are 29,586.29 for the Nasdaq-100 and 6,280.19 for the EURO STOXX 50, with coupon barriers and downside thresholds set at 75% of those levels. The notes may be automatically called quarterly after 12 months if both indices are at or above initial levels, returning principal plus the relevant coupon. If not called, and on the final valuation date any index is below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced dollar-for-dollar with the percentage loss of the worst index, up to a total loss of principal. Payments depend on BNS’s credit; the notes are not insured or bail-inable under the CDIC Act.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $5,710,000 of senior, unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due July 5, 2029, linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. The notes pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $56.875 per $1,000 (22.75% per annum) only if Broadcom’s closing price on each observation date is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value of $276.00, equal to 70% of the Initial Value of $394.28.
The notes are automatically called, returning principal plus the relevant coupon, if on any Call Observation Date Broadcom’s closing value is at or above the Initial Value. If not called, the maturity payment depends on Broadcom’s Final Value on June 29, 2029: investors receive full principal if it is at or above the Barrier Value of $276.00, but if it is lower they lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline from the Initial Value, up to a 100% loss of principal. Coupons are not guaranteed and investors do not participate in any upside beyond coupons.
The notes are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured by CDIC or FDIC, and will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The original issue price is 100% of principal, while the bank’s initial estimated value is $963.65 per $1,000, reflecting dealer compensation, hedging costs and the bank’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $1,524,000 of unsecured Autocallable Contingent Coupon Notes due July 5, 2029, linked to the common stock of Coinbase Global, Inc. Each Note has a $1,000 principal amount and an original issue price of 100% of principal.
The Notes pay a Contingent Coupon of $105.75 per Note (42.30% per annum) on scheduled observation dates only if Coinbase’s closing value is at or above the Contingent Coupon Barrier Value of $117.05, equal to 70% of the Initial Value of $167.21. The same level is the Barrier Value for principal protection tests. If on any Call Observation Date the closing value is at or above the Initial Value, the Notes are automatically called for $1,000 plus that period’s coupon, and no further payments are made.
If not called, at maturity investors receive $1,000 per Note only if the Final Value is at or above the Barrier Value; otherwise the payoff is $1,000 + ($1,000 × Reference Asset Return), resulting in a loss of 1% of principal for each 1% decline in Coinbase from the Initial Value, down to a possible 100% loss. The Notes do not provide dividends or voting rights in Coinbase, are not bail-inable or deposit-insured, and their initial estimated value is $967 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and structuring costs. Liquidity is limited, with no exchange listing and market-making at the dealer’s discretion.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured structured notes, the Trigger Autocallable GEARS, linked to the Russell 2000® Index under its Senior Note Program, Series A. Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000, and is scheduled to mature on or about July 31, 2031, unless automatically called.
The notes can be automatically called on the August 5, 2027 observation date if the index closing level is at or above the autocall barrier, set at 100% of the initial level. In that case, investors receive the call price, equal to principal plus a 12.00% call return, and no further payments. If not called, at maturity investors receive: geared upside of 1.35–1.60x any positive index return; return of principal if the final index level is at or above the 75% downside threshold; or a loss matching the index decline if the final level is below that threshold, up to a 100% loss of principal.
The Securities pay no interest, are not listed on an exchange, and any payment is subject to the creditworthiness of BNS. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $9.32 and $9.62 per $10 Security, below the public issue price, reflecting structuring, distribution and hedging costs. Extensive risk disclosures highlight market risk from the Russell 2000® Index, limited liquidity, potential conflicts from hedging, and complex U.S. and Canadian tax treatment.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Market Linked Securities, auto-callable and linked to the lowest performing of CrowdStrike, Okta and Palo Alto Networks common stocks. Each security has a $1,000 face amount and pays no interest or dividends.

If not called, at August 2029 maturity investors receive: 300% of any price increase in the lowest-performing stock; or, if that stock is between 50% and 100% of its starting price, a positive “absolute value” return up to +50%; or, if it finishes below 50%, full downside exposure, with losses over 50% and potentially the entire principal.
The Bank’s estimated value is $901.15–$931.15 per $1,000 security, below the issue price, reflecting dealer spread and hedging profits. The notes are not listed, may have limited liquidity, and all payments are subject to the credit risk of The Bank of Nova Scotia.

The notes may be automatically called on scheduled Observation Dates through July 2031 if each index is at or above its Initial Value, paying a Call Payment Amount based on a 12.15% per annum Call Return Rate. If never called and each index finishes at or above 60% of its Initial Value (its Barrier Value), investors receive the $1,000 principal per note; otherwise repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline in the worst-performing index, up to a total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is $980.24 per $1,000 note, the notes pay no periodic interest, are not CDIC or FDIC insured, and will not be listed, so liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation, maturing on or about February 3, 2028, under its Senior Note Program, Series A. The notes pay a contingent coupon of $8.584 per $1,000 (0.8584% monthly, up to approximately 10.30% per annum) on each monthly observation date only if NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above 55.00% of the initial price.
Starting in February 2027, the notes are automatically called if on a call observation date NVIDIA’s price is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 plus that period’s contingent coupon. If not called and the final price on January 31, 2028 is at or above 55% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 plus the final coupon; if it is below 55%, investors receive shares (or cash) worth less than 55% of principal, resulting in a substantial or total loss. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, not insured by CDIC or FDIC. The bank’s initial estimated value is expected to be $925–$955 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting commissions, structuring fees and hedging costs, and secondary market liquidity is not assured.
