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.

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $7,765,000 of Digital Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index under its Senior Note Program, Series A. Each note has a $1,000 principal amount, is issued at 100% of principal in U.S. dollars, pays no interest, and matures on September 20, 2028.
Payment at maturity depends on S&P 500 performance from the initial level of 7,515.34 on July 13, 2026 to the valuation date on September 18, 2028. If the final level is at least 85.00% of the initial level, investors receive a fixed $1,192 per $1,000 (a 19.2% maximum return). If the index falls more than 15%, losses accelerate at approximately 1.1765% for every additional 1% decline, and investors can lose up to their entire principal.
All payments are subject to the creditworthiness of The Bank of Nova Scotia; the notes are unsubordinated, unsecured obligations and are not insured by the CDIC or FDIC. The initial estimated value is $990.80 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting internal funding and hedging costs, which may create an immediate secondary-market discount. The notes will not be listed, and any secondary liquidity would be at the discretion of an affiliated dealer.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering senior unsecured Trigger Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature, linked to the worst performer of the Russell 2000 Index and the S&P 500 Index, each with a stated principal amount and issue price of $1,000.00 per security and a maturity date on or about August 5, 2032.
The notes pay no coupons or dividends. Instead, they auto-call on scheduled determination dates if both indices are at or above their initial values, for fixed early redemption payments that step up over time and correspond to a 9.60% per annum return (for example, $1,096.00 on the first call date up to $1,552.00 on the last). If held to maturity and still not called, investors receive a fixed maturity redemption payment of $1,576.00 (also 9.60% per annum) if both final index values are at or above initial levels, par if any index is below initial but both remain at or above an 80.00% trigger level, and otherwise $1,000 × (1 + underlying return of the worst-performing index), which can be as low as zero.
Principal is fully at risk; a drop in either index below its trigger level at final valuation produces 1:1 downside to the worst index, up to a total loss of investment. The securities are not listed, may have limited secondary liquidity, and all payments depend on BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is expected to be between $922.80 and $952.80 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs and BNS’s internal funding rate.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $1,432,000 principal amount of Autocallable Contingent Coupon Buffered Notes due July 17, 2031, linked to the Nasdaq-100 Index and Russell 2000 Index.
The Notes pay a quarterly 9.65% per annum contingent coupon ($24.125 per $1,000) only when both indices are at or above 75% of their Initial Values on observation dates. They are automatically called, returning principal plus coupon, if both indices meet declining call thresholds from 100% to 85% of Initial Value.
If not called, repayment depends on the worst-performing index: full principal is returned if it finishes at or above 75% of Initial Value; below that level, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% additional decline, up to a 75% loss. The unsecured Notes carry Bank credit risk, are not insured or exchange-listed, and had an initial estimated value of $971.83 per $1,000.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $43,890,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to NVIDIA common stock under its Senior Note Program, Series A.
Each $1,000 security can pay a $25.875 quarterly coupon (10.35% per year) for any determination date when NVIDIA’s closing price is at or above the downside threshold of $105.48, which is 50.00% of the initial share price of $210.96. Missed coupons may be paid later if a subsequent determination date meets the threshold under the memory coupon feature. The notes auto-call at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons if NVIDIA is at or above the 100.00% call threshold on a non-final determination date, before maturity on July 13, 2029.
Principal is fully at risk: if the final share price is below the downside threshold, you are exposed on a 1-to-1 basis to NVIDIA’s decline and the payment can be less than 50.00% of principal or zero. The securities are senior unsecured obligations of BNS, not listed on any exchange, with an estimated initial value of $968.50 per $1,000 security, below the issue price.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $8,663,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 13, 2029, linked to Palo Alto Networks, Inc. common stock. Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $37.75 (15.10% per annum) if on the determination date the stock closes at or above the downside threshold price of $162.955, 50.00% of the initial share price of $325.91. Missed coupons may be paid later under a memory feature.
If on any non-final determination date the stock closes at or above the call threshold price of $325.91, the security is automatically redeemed for principal plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons, and no further payments are made. If not called and the final share price is at or above the downside threshold, investors receive principal plus the final coupon and any unpaid coupons. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment equals principal multiplied by the share performance factor, resulting in less than 50.00% of principal and possibly zero, with no coupons.
The securities are senior unsecured debt of BNS, not insured by CDIC or FDIC and not bail-inable. All payments depend on BNS’s credit. The estimated value on the pricing date is $958.05 per $1,000, below the issue price, and the securities will not be listed, so secondary-market liquidity may be limited.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $30,780,000 of senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the worst performer of Amazon.com, Alphabet Inc. Class A and Microsoft Corporation. Each $1,000 note has a 6‑month initial non-call period and may pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $40.90 (16.36% per annum) when, on a determination date, all three stocks are at or above 60.00% of their initial prices, with missed coupons potentially paid later under a “memory” feature.
From the second through the penultimate determination dates, if all stocks are at or above 100.00% of their initial prices, the notes auto-call for $1,000 plus due and unpaid coupons, and no further payments are made. If held to July 13, 2028 and any final stock price is below its 60.00% downside threshold, holders receive principal plus the return of the worst-performing stock, so the cash payment will be less than 60.00% of principal and could be zero. The securities are not listed, have an initial estimated value of $964.18 per $1,000 versus the $1,000 issue price, include per-note fees, and all payments are subject to BNS credit risk.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $9,999,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 13, 2029 linked to Affirm Holdings, Inc. common stock. Each $1,000 security can pay a quarterly contingent coupon of $52.50 (21.00% per annum) when the stock closes at or above the $41.71 downside threshold, equal to 50.00% of the $83.42 initial share price.
If on any non-final determination date the stock closes at or above the $83.42 call threshold, equal to 100.00% of the initial price, the security is automatically redeemed at par plus due coupons. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1-to-1 with the stock decline and may be less than 50% of principal or zero. Investors receive no upside beyond coupons, face limited liquidity and tax uncertainty, and bear full credit risk of BNS, whose estimated value of the notes on the pricing date is $973.10 per $1,000, below the issue price.
Bank of Nova Scotia is issuing $21,139,000 of senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to Vertiv Holdings Co common stock, maturing July 13, 2029. Each $1,000 note pays a contingent quarterly coupon of $54.90 (21.96% per annum) only when Vertiv’s closing price on a determination date is at or above the downside threshold of $159.43, 50.00% of the $318.86 initial share price, with a memory feature for missed coupons.
If Vertiv closes at or above the $318.86 call threshold on any non-final determination date, the notes are automatically redeemed at par plus the applicable coupon and any unpaid coupons. At maturity, if never called, investors receive par plus coupons only if the final share price is at or above the downside threshold; otherwise the payoff equals principal multiplied by the share performance factor, resulting in a loss of more than 50% and possibly all principal. The notes are not listed, have limited liquidity, carry BNS credit risk, and were sold at $1,000 per note versus an estimated value of $962.69 after built-in sales commissions and structuring costs.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering $14,112,000 aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due July 13, 2029, linked to the American depositary receipts of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and issues at 100% of par.
Investors may receive a $34.00 quarterly contingent coupon per security (equivalent to 13.60% per annum) on each determination date where the TSM ADR closing price is at least the downside threshold price of $217.055 (50% of the $434.11 initial share price). A memory feature can pay previously missed coupons if a later determination date meets the threshold. If on any non-final determination date the ADR closes at or above the call threshold price of $434.11 (100% of initial), the notes are automatically redeemed for principal plus the applicable coupon(s).
At maturity, if not previously called and the final share price is at least the downside threshold, holders receive principal plus any due coupons; if it is below, repayment equals principal times the share performance factor, resulting in a loss of more than 50% of principal and potentially all of it. There is no participation in any upside of the ADRs, no dividends, and the securities are not listed. The estimated value on the pricing date is $962.63 per $1,000, below the issue price, reflecting distribution and structuring costs and BNS’ internal funding rate. All payments are subject to the credit risk of BNS.
The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering Trigger Autocallable Contingent Yield Notes, senior unsecured debt linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index and the EURO STOXX 50 Index, maturing around July 17, 2036. Each Note has a $10 principal amount and pays a 9.00% per annum contingent coupon (about $0.225 per quarter) only when both indices close at or above their coupon barriers on the relevant observation date.
The Notes are automatically called if, on any quarterly observation date after 12 months, both indices are at or above their initial levels; investors then receive $10 plus the coupon and no further payments. If not called, and at maturity both indices are at or above their downside thresholds (75% of initial levels), investors receive full principal. If any index finishes below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the percentage decline of the worst index, and investors can lose up to 100% of principal.
The minimum investment is 100 Notes ($1,000. The initial estimated value is between $8.97 and $9.27 per $10 Note, below the $10 issue price, reflecting selling, structuring and hedging costs.
