BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA SEC Filings

The Bank of Nova Scotia is offering autocallable contingent coupon notes linked to Apollo Global Management, Inc. stock due June 4, 2027. For each $1,000 principal, the notes pay a contingent monthly coupon of $11.959 if the reference stock closes at or above 60.00% of the initial price on an observation date. The notes may be automatically called on specified call observation dates if the reference stock closes at or above the initial price, in which case holders receive $1,000 plus the contingent coupon. If not called and the final price is below 60.00% of the initial price, holders receive a share delivery amount equal to $1,000 divided by the initial price, exposing them to equity downside and potential loss of most or all principal. Payments depend on the Bank’s creditworthiness and the initial estimated value range is $925.00 to $955.00 per $1,000 principal amount.

The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering Trigger PLUS notes linked to the S&P 500 Index due on or about May 5, 2032. Each Trigger PLUS has a stated principal amount of $1,000.00 and an issue price of $1,000.00. At maturity the payment depends on the final index value: if above the initial index value, investors receive $1,000 plus a leveraged upside equal to 106.13% of the index return; if between the initial index value and the trigger level (85.00% of the initial index value), investors receive $1,000; if below the trigger level investors suffer losses equal to the underlying return and may lose up to their entire investment. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk; the notes are senior unsecured, unlisted, carry no coupon, and may have limited liquidity. The pricing date is April 30, 2026 and the original issue date is May 5, 2026. The issuer provided an estimated initial value range of $913.27 to $943.27 per $1,000 stated principal amount.

The Bank of Nova Scotia priced $2,440,000 of Capped Buffered Enhanced Participation Notes linked to the S&P 500® Index. The notes pay no interest and mature on August 9, 2028; returns are based on the S&P 500 closing level from the trade date (April 13, 2026) to the valuation date (August 7, 2028). The notes provide a 160.00% participation rate up to a maximum payment of $1,276.00 per $1,000, a 15.00% buffer (85.00% buffer level) that preserves principal only if losses are ≤15.00%, and a buffer rate of approximately 117.65% that magnifies losses beyond the buffer. Payments are unsecured obligations of the Bank and depend on its creditworthiness. The initial estimated value on pricing was $989.60 per $1,000, below the issue price.

The Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS) is offering $3,605,000 of Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities due April 13, 2028. These are senior unsecured notes linked to the common stock of Broadcom Inc. (initial share price $371.55) that pay a contingent quarterly coupon of $36.40 (equivalent to 14.56% per annum) only if the closing price on specified determination dates is at or above the downside threshold price of $204.3525 (55.00% of the initial share price).

The notes may be automatically redeemed early if the closing price on a determination date meets or exceeds the call threshold price of $371.55. If not redeemed and the final share price is below the downside threshold, maturity proceeds are reduced by the share performance factor (final/initial share price), exposing investors 1:1 to downside and potentially resulting in the loss of most or all principal. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk and the initial estimated value per security was $966.70, below the $1,000 issue price.

Securities auto‑redeem early if the closing price on a determination date meets or exceeds the call threshold ($128.06). If the final share price is below the downside threshold, principal repayment at maturity is reduced by the share performance factor and may be less than 50.00% of principal or zero. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk.

Notes auto‑redeem early if the closing price meets the call threshold ($991.32). If the final share price is below the downside threshold, principal repayment is reduced pro rata by the share performance factor and could be as low as zero. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk.

The Bank of Nova Scotia furnishes a report detailing updated by-laws as of April 14, 2026. The by-laws set rules for shareholder meetings, including a quorum of at least two persons representing at least 25% of outstanding voting shares, voting procedures, dividend payment mechanics, and when unclaimed dividends revert to the bank after six years.

The document outlines board structure and governance, providing for up to 35 directors, rules for filling vacancies and appointing additional directors, committee powers, and the roles of the Chair and Chief Executive Officer. It caps annual director remuneration for board service at up to $7,000,000 and reinforces confidentiality obligations for directors and officers. It also describes requirements for ownership declarations, repeals and replaces the prior By-law No. 1, confirms common-shareholder voting and dividend rights, removes pre-emptive rights on new share issues, and recaps prior common share subdivisions and authorized capital arrangements.

If a determination date’s closing price meets or exceeds the call threshold of $370.60, the notes will auto‑redeem early for principal plus due coupons. If the final share price is below the downside threshold, maturity payment = stated principal × (final share price / initial share price), which could be 60.00% of principal or as low as zero. All payments are subject to BNS credit risk; investors will not participate in upside beyond contingent coupons and may lose their entire investment.
