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 Autocallable Contingent Coupon Trigger Notes linked to NVIDIA Corporation. The offering totals $12,139,000 in aggregate principal, with a $1,000 principal amount per note. Trade date was May 15, 2026 and maturity is June 18, 2027. The initial price of the reference asset was $225.32.
Notes pay a monthly contingent coupon of $10.209 per $1,000 if the closing price on an observation date is >= the coupon barrier (60.00% of the initial price). Notes are automatically called on a call observation date (Nov 2026–May 2027) if the closing price is >= the initial price; an automatic call pays principal plus the contingent coupon. If not called and the final price is <60.00% of the initial price, holders receive a share delivery amount equal to $1,000 / $225.32 shares (cash for fractional shares) and will likely incur a substantial loss. The initial estimated value per $1,000 was $965.65, below the original issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $19,575,000 of Digital Notes linked to the EURO STOXX 50® Index due October 19, 2027.

If the final level is equal to or above 85.00% of the initial level (initial level 5,827.76), investors receive the capped payment of $1,117.50 per $1,000. If the final level is below that threshold, investors suffer a leveraged loss (buffer rate ~117.65%) and may lose up to 100.00% of principal. The pricing reflects an initial estimated value of $983.82 per $1,000 versus an original issue price of 100.00%.
