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 contingent income auto-callable senior unsecured notes due on or about January 5, 2029, linked to the common stock of Shopify Inc. (SHOP). Each $1,000 security may pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $34.50 (equivalent to 13.80% per annum) per security, but only for determination dates when Shopify’s closing price is at least 50.00% of the initial share price, the downside threshold. Missed coupons can be paid later under a memory feature if the threshold is later met.
If on any non-final determination date Shopify’s price is at least 100.00% of the initial share price (the call threshold), the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the notes are not called and the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1‑for‑1 with Shopify’s decline from the initial share price, and the maturity payment may be less than 50% of principal or zero. Investors do not participate in any share price appreciation and forgo dividends.
The notes are senior unsecured debt of BNS, subject to BNS credit risk, not insured or bail‑inable, and will not be listed on an exchange. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $938.37 and $968.37 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs and BNS’s internal funding rate. The pricing date is expected on January 2, 2026 with settlement on January 7, 2026.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering principal-at-risk Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the common stock of Palantir Technologies Inc. These roughly 3-year notes can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $44.00 per $1,000 (equivalent to 17.60% per annum) for each determination date on which Palantir’s closing price is at least 50.00% of the initial share price, helped by a “memory” feature that can make up missed coupons later.
The notes are automatically called if Palantir’s price on a non-final determination date is at or above 100.00% of the initial share price, returning principal plus the applicable coupon(s). If the securities are not called and the final share price is below the 50% downside threshold, investors are exposed 1-to-1 to Palantir’s decline and can lose a significant portion or all of their principal. Investors do not receive dividends, do not participate in any stock upside, and all payments depend on BNS’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due on or about January 5, 2029, linked to the common stock of Tesla, Inc. Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $45.00 (equivalent to 18.00% per annum) if, on a determination date, Tesla’s closing price is at or above 60.00% of the initial share price, the downside threshold. Missed coupons may be paid later under a memory feature if the threshold is later met.
If, on any non-final determination date, Tesla’s price is at or above 100.00% of the initial share price, the call threshold, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. If held to maturity and Tesla’s final price is below the downside threshold, investors are exposed 1-to-1 to the share decline and can receive less than 60.00% of principal, down to zero. Investors do not participate in any upside of Tesla stock, receive no dividends, face limited liquidity, and are fully exposed to BNS credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering 442,263 Capped Leveraged Index Return Notes linked to a basket of fifteen financial sector stocks at $10 per unit, for a total public offering price of $4,422,630 and proceeds before expenses of $4,334,177.40. The notes mature on December 31, 2027 and provide 2-to-1 leveraged upside on basket gains, capped at a maximum redemption of $14.30 per unit, a 43% return over principal. If the basket ends below its starting level of 100.00, investors lose principal on a 1-for-1 basis, down to zero. The notes pay no interest or dividends, all payments occur at maturity, and returns depend on both basket performance and BNS credit. The initial estimated value is $9.94 per unit, reflecting internal funding rates, a $0.20 underwriting discount and a $0.05 hedging-related charge, and the notes are expected to have limited secondary market liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $2,897,000 of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to the common stock of Amazon.com, Inc., maturing January 22, 2027. The notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $8.834 per $1,000 (0.8834% monthly, about 10.60% per year) only if Amazon’s closing price on each observation date is at least 70% of the initial price of $226.76. Starting in June 2026, the notes are automatically called if Amazon’s price on a call observation date is at or above the initial price, returning $1,000 per note plus that month’s coupon. If the notes are not called and Amazon’s final price is at least 70% of the initial price, investors receive $1,000 per note plus the final coupon; if it is below 70%, investors receive Amazon shares worth less than 70% of principal and no coupon, risking a large or total loss. The notes are unsecured obligations of The Bank of Nova Scotia, are not insured, and had an initial estimated value of $938.36 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting fees, structuring costs and hedging.

If the notes are not called, they mature in about six years. At maturity, investors receive full principal back if the Index has not fallen more than 15% from the starting value; below that threshold, losses match the Index decline beyond 15%, with up to 85% of principal at risk. The initial estimated value is $9.57 per unit, below the $10 public offering price, reflecting underwriting discounts of $0.20 per unit, a $0.05 hedging-related charge, and BNS’s internal funding rate.

The notes pay no interest, are unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Bank, and are not insured by Canadian or U.S. deposit insurers. The original issue price is 100% of principal, with underwriting commissions of 2.20%, and the initial estimated value is $959.38 per $1,000, reflecting internal funding and structuring costs that may reduce secondary market value.

If not called, the maturity payoff depends on the worst-performing index. If both final levels are at or above their initial levels, investors receive at least $1,400 per $1,000, with additional upside if the worst index gain exceeds 40%. If any index finishes below its initial level but at or above 85% of it, investors receive only principal back. If any index ends below 85% of its initial level, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss in the worst index, down to total loss of principal. The initial estimated value is $933.86 per $1,000, below the issue price due to fees, funding and hedging costs.
