Bank of Nova Scotia filings document the regulatory disclosures of a Canadian bank and foreign private issuer whose securities trade on the TSX and NYSE under BNS. 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. Capital-structure disclosures cover common shares, preferred shares and other equity instruments, subordinated indebtedness, normal course issuer bids, and other regulatory capital matters.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS, senior unsecured notes linked to the common stock of Citigroup Inc. Each Security has a $10 principal amount, with a minimum investment of $1,000. The notes run for about three years and may be automatically called after roughly one year if Citi’s stock closes at or above the initial level on the observation date, in which case investors receive the call price equal to principal plus a 15.20% call return and no further payments.
If the notes are not called, at maturity investors receive $10 plus any positive stock performance multiplied by an upside gearing of 1.25–1.50. If Citi’s final stock level is at or above a downside threshold of 50% of the initial level, principal is repaid. If the final level falls below this threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the loss in the stock, up to a total loss of principal. The notes pay no interest, offer no dividends or voting rights, are not listed, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The initial estimated value is expected to be between $9.28 and $9.58 per $10 note.
The Bank of Nova Scotia plans to issue Dual Directional Capped Buffered Notes linked to the S&P 500 Index, maturing on November 12, 2027. The notes pay no coupons and all payments occur at maturity, subject to the Bank’s credit risk.
If the index finishes at or above its initial level, the notes track the positive performance up to a Maximum Upside Return of at least 17.19% (set on the trade date). If the index finishes below the initial level but at or above 80% of it, the notes pay the absolute decline, up to $1,200 per $1,000 note. Below the 80% buffer, losses accelerate at 1.25% per 1% additional decline, potentially to zero.
Key terms include: expected trade date November 7, 2025 and settlement November 13, 2025; term of approximately 2 years; minimum investment $10,000 (denominations of $1,000). The initial estimated value is expected between $948.30 and $978.30 per $1,000. Placement agent fees are 1.50% per note, with proceeds to the issuer of 98.50%. The notes will not be listed on an exchange.
The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) priced Market Linked Securities—Auto-Callable with Contingent Downside Principal at Risk, linked to the lowest performer of the S&P 500, Russell 2000, and Dow Jones Industrial Average, under its Senior Note Program. The offering totals $7,889,000 at $1,000 face amount per security. The notes pay no interest and may be automatically called if, on any call date, the lowest-performing index is at or above its starting level, returning face value plus a fixed call premium.
Call premiums step up on a simple basis of approximately 10.15% per annum (e.g., 10.150% on November 5, 2026) up to 40.600% on October 31, 2029. If not called, maturity outcomes depend on the lowest-performing index: return face value if its ending level is at least the 75% threshold; otherwise, lose value 1-to-1 with the decline below the threshold, potentially to zero. The Bank’s estimated value is $946.38 per security. Per the pricing table, proceeds to BNS are $7,685,858.25 after an agent discount of $25.75 per security.

At maturity, if the lowest-performing stock finishes at or above its 70% threshold, investors receive $1,000 face amount plus a contingent fixed return of 45% ($450).

Bank of Nova Scotia filed a preliminary 424B2 pricing supplement for senior unsecured Market Linked Securities tied to the common stock of Oklo Inc. (OKLO), featuring an auto-call and contingent coupon with memory, maturing on November 20, 2026.
Each security has a $1,000 face amount and pays a monthly contingent coupon only if the stock closes at or above the coupon threshold, set at 50% of the starting price. The contingent coupon rate will be at least 32.00% per annum. From May 2026 to October 2026, the notes are automatically called if the stock closes at or above the starting price, returning face value plus the applicable coupon(s).
If not called, principal is repaid in full only if the final stock price is at or above the downside threshold (50% of the starting price); otherwise investors lose more than 50%, up to all principal.

Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) filed a preliminary 424(b)(2) pricing supplement for Autocallable Trigger Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq‑100 and Russell 2000. The notes pay no interest and may be automatically called on the call observation date (expected November 27, 2026) if each index is at or above its initial level, returning $1,000 plus a call premium (expected to be at least 14.30%) per $1,000 note on the call payment date.
If not called, the maturity payout (expected December 1, 2027) depends on the least performing index: gains equal 250.00% of that index’s positive return; if any index is ≤ its initial level but each is ≥ 75.00% of its initial level, principal is returned; if any index is < 75.00% of its initial level, losses match the least performer’s decline, up to full loss of principal. The initial estimated value is expected between $900.00 and $930.00 per $1,000 note. Underwriting commissions are up to 0.80% with proceeds to BNS of at least 99.20%. The notes are unsecured obligations of BNS, not FDIC or CDIC insured, and will not be listed.
The Bank of Nova Scotia filed a preliminary 424(b)(2) pricing supplement for Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Basket‑Linked Notes due December 10, 2026. The notes are tied to an equally weighted basket of AMD, Arm (ADS), NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, Snowflake, and Vertiv.
The payoff offers 200.00% participation in basket gains, capped at a maximum payment of $1,200.00 per $1,000 principal (equivalent to gains up to 10%). A 15.00% buffer protects principal only to that threshold; if the basket falls more than 15%, losses match the decline beyond the buffer, up to 85.00% of principal. The notes pay no interest, are unsecured and unsubordinated, and will not be listed. The initial estimated value is expected between $900.00 and $930.00 per $1,000. Underwriting commissions are up to 1.93%. Any payment is subject to the issuer’s creditworthiness.
The Bank of Nova Scotia filed a preliminary pricing supplement for unsecured Digital Notes linked to the EURO STOXX 50 Index. The notes pay no interest and the payment at maturity (expected about 24 to 27 months after trade date) depends on index performance.
If the final index level is at or above 85.00% of the initial level, holders receive the maximum payment amount, expected to be between $1,143.30 and $1,168.50 per $1,000. If the final level is below 85.00%, the payout declines with an accelerated downside: approximately 1.1765% loss for every 1% drop beyond the 15.00% threshold, up to a total loss of principal.
The initial estimated value is expected between $952.50 and $982.50 per $1,000, less than the original issue price due to internal funding and hedging costs. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Bank, not insured by CDIC/FDIC, will not be listed, and any payment is subject to the Bank’s creditworthiness. The table indicates 100.00% proceeds to the Bank and 0.00% underwriting commissions at issuance. A tax redemption feature may apply if tax law changes increase required additional amounts.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) under its Senior Note Program, Series A. The notes pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $40.90 per $1,000 (equivalent to 16.36% per annum) for each determination date on which Tesla’s closing price is at or above 50.00% of the initial share price (the downside threshold). If Tesla’s price on any non-final determination date is at or above 100.00% of the initial share price (the call threshold), the notes are automatically redeemed for $1,000 plus the applicable coupon. Pricing is expected on October 31, 2025, with maturity on or about November 3, 2028.
These are principal-at-risk unsecured obligations of BNS. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1-for-1 with Tesla’s decline, and you could lose most or all principal. The issue price is $1,000 per note; fees total $22.50 per $1,000 (sales commission and structuring), implying $977.50 in proceeds to BNS per note. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected between $934.56 and $964.56. The securities will not be listed and all payments are subject to BNS credit risk.

The notes may be automatically called on any monthly calculation day from April 2026 to September 2026 if Dell’s stock closes at or above the starting price of $149.59, returning face amount plus the final coupon.
If not called, at maturity on October 22, 2026 investors receive $1,000 only if the ending price is at or above the downside threshold of $97.2335; otherwise, repayment is $1,000 times the performance factor, resulting in losses greater than 35% and potentially total loss of principal.

Per-security economics: offering price $1,000, agent discount $15.75, proceeds to issuer $984.25 (aggregate proceeds $207,676.75 on a $211,000 offering).
