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 (BNS) is offering Trigger Autocallable GEARS linked to an unequally weighted basket of five equity indices with an expected term of approximately 5 years. The securities pay no interest, have a call return rate of 14.00% and an upside gearing to be set between 1.65 and 1.85 on the trade date.
If the underlying basket’s closing level on the observation date meets or exceeds the autocall barrier (equal to the initial basket level), BNS will automatically call the notes and pay the call price ($10 principal plus the 14.00% call return). If not called, payments at maturity depend on the basket return and a downside threshold of 75.00% of the initial basket level; negative returns below that threshold can result in substantial principal loss, potentially total loss. Key dates include trade date April 28, 2026, settlement April 30, 2026, observation date May 5, 2027, final valuation date April 28, 2031, and maturity April 30, 2031.
