The Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank, BNS) is a foreign private issuer in the United States and provides a range of regulatory disclosures through filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. As indicated in recent Form 6-K reports, the bank files under Form 40-F and furnishes information that is incorporated by reference into its registration statements on Form S-8 and Form F-3. This page brings together those SEC filings so that investors can review Scotiabank’s official disclosures in one place.
Scotiabank’s Form 6-K submissions cover several key categories of information. Recent filings reference the bank’s annual report, annual financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis, as well as fourth quarter earnings coverage, consolidated capitalization and consolidated earnings ratios, and statements regarding the computation of earnings ratios. Other 6-K filings include independent auditors’ reports, certifications required under Canadian securities legislation, and press releases announcing dividends on outstanding shares and reporting fourth quarter results.
Because The Bank of Nova Scotia uses Form 40-F, its annual report and related financial statements are central documents for understanding its performance across Canadian banking, international banking, global wealth management, and global banking and markets.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,953,000 of Autocallable Trigger Notes linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index and Russell 2000 Index, maturing on February 3, 2028 unless called earlier.
The notes pay no interest. If on January 29, 2027 both indices are at or above their initial levels (25,884.29 for the Nasdaq-100 and 2,654.776 for the Russell 2000), the notes are automatically called and pay 110% of principal. If not called, at maturity investors get 250% of the gain of the worst-performing index if both finish above initial levels, full principal if both stay at or above 75% of initial, and lose 1% of principal for each 1% the worst index finishes below its initial level if any index ends under 75%, up to total loss.
The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of Scotiabank, not insured by any deposit insurer. The initial estimated value is $941.18 per $1,000, below the 100% issue price, reflecting funding, hedging, underwriting commissions of 2.55% and a structuring fee, and may lead to lower secondary market prices and limited liquidity.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured market-linked securities tied to the SPDR Gold Trust. Each note has a $1,000 face amount, pays no periodic interest and matures on February 1, 2030.
At maturity, holders receive $1,000 plus 100% of any positive GLD price change from the $495.90 starting price, capped at a 31.50% maximum return, for a maximum payment of $1,315 per note. If the fund ends at or below the starting price, the maturity payment is $1,000.
The notes are subject to the credit risk of the Bank, are not insured, and will not be listed on an exchange, so liquidity may be limited. The original offering totals $1,865,000, with proceeds to the Bank of $1,793,663.75. The Bank’s estimated value is $940.71 per $1,000 note, reflecting selling costs and hedging. U.S. tax treatment is as contingent payment debt instruments, creating taxable original issue discount income over the life of the notes.

If the index falls more than 10% from the initial level, repayment declines at an accelerated buffer rate of about 111.11% of losses beyond that threshold, and investors can lose up to their entire principal. The initial estimated value is $984.65 per $1,000, below the issue price, and any payment depends on the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia.

At maturity, investors receive $1,000 plus 120% of the least-performing index’s gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,192.50 per $1,000. A 10% downside buffer applies, but if the worst index falls more than 10%, principal losses match the excess decline, up to a 90% loss.
