DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Responsibility for Financi

al I

nformation is described on page 136 of the Bank’s Annual Report (“Annual Report”) set forth in Exhibit 99.3, 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, The Bank of Nova Scotia’s (the “Bank”) Audit and Conduct Review Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed, and the Board of Directors has reviewed and approved, the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis prior to release. The Bank is committed to providing timely, accurate and balanced disclosure of all material information and to providing fair and equal access to such information. The Bank’s disclosure policies and practices are published on its website.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information is accumulated and communicated to the Bank’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of October 31, 2024, the Bank’s management, with the participation of the CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under the rules adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, and have concluded that the Bank’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Internal control over financial reporting

Management of the Bank is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. These controls include policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Bank; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and that receipts and expenditures of the Bank are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Bank; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Bank’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All control systems contain inherent limitations, no matter how well designed. As a result, the Bank’s management acknowledges that its internal control over financial reporting will not prevent or detect all misstatements due to error or fraud. In addition, management’s evaluation of controls can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that all control issues that may result in material misstatements, if any, have been detected.

Management assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, using the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) 2013 framework, and based on that assessment concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2024.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There have been no changes in the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Bank’s internal control over financial reporting during the year ended October 31, 2024.

MANAGEMENT’S INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting are provided on pages 111 and 142 of the Annual Report set forth as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, respectively.

AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERTS

All of the members of the Bank’s Audit and Conduct Review Committee of the Board of Directors (“audit committee”) are financially literate and independent, and one or more members of the audit committee meets the definition of a financial expert. As of December 3, 2024, the Bank’s Board of Directors has determined that Benita M. Warmbold, W. Dave Dowrich, Aaron W. Regent, and Steven C. Van Wyk are audit committee financial experts and are independent, as that term is defined by the New York Stock Exchange’s corporate governance standards applicable to the Bank.

The SEC has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Bank has adopted a code of ethics, entitled “Scotiabank Code of Conduct” (the “Code”). The Code applies to all directors, officers, employees and contingent workers of the Bank. In 2024, the Bank adopted a revised Code. Key amendments made to the Code included alignment with the Bank’s vision, values and behaviors, articulation of the Bank’s commitment to positive incentives to promote ethical behavior, and streamlining of text to enable enhanced employee understanding. The full text of the Code is set forth in Exhibit 99.8 and is also available on the Bank’s website at www.scotiabank.com, in the Governance section, and is available in print to any person, without charge, upon written request to the Corporate Secretary of the Bank at the Toronto executive office address shown above. The Whistleblower Policy is also posted on the Bank’s website. The Whistleblower Policy supports adherence to the Code. Future amendments to the Code and waivers, if any, for directors and executive officers will be disclosed on the Bank’s website. There were no waivers under the Code granted in fiscal 2024.

A summary of significant ways corporate governance practices followed by the Bank differ from corporate governance practices required to be followed by U.S. domestic companies under the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards (disclosure required by Section 303A.11 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual) is available on the Bank’s website at https://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/about/our-company/governance.html.

DISCLOSURE PURSUANT TO SECTION 13(r) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act, the Bank is required to disclose whether it or any of its affiliates knowingly engaged in certain activities, transactions or dealings relating to the Government of Iran or with certain individuals or entities that are the subject of sanctions under U.S. law. Disclosure is generally required even where the activities, transactions or dealings were conducted outside the United States in compliance with applicable law.

During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2024, the Bank identified and froze an account held by a customer that is subject to sanctions under Canadian law and meets the definition of the “Government of Iran” under U.S. sanctions administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control. Pursuant to a requirement under Canadian law, the Bank credited CAD fifty dollars to the customer’s account prior to freezing it. The Bank’s gross revenue and net profit attributable to this account was de minimis. The Bank does not intend to engage in further activity with respect to this account.
