| Market Linked Securities—Contingent Fixed
Return and Contingent Downside Principal at Risk Securities Linked to the Lowest
Performing of the Common Stock of IonQ, Inc., the Class A Common Stock of Meta Platforms, Inc. and the Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation
due December 17, 2026 |

n Linked to the lowest performing of the common stock of IonQ, Inc., the Class A common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc. and the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation (each referred to as an “ Underlier ”)

n Unlike ordinary debt securities, the securities do not pay interest or repay a fixed amount of principal at maturity. Instead, the securities provide for a maturity payment amount that may be greater than or less than the face amount of the securities, depending on the performance of the lowest performing Underlier from its starting value to its ending value. The lowest performing Underlier is the Underlier with the lowest underlier return, calculated for each Underlier as the percentage change from its starting value to its ending value. The maturity payment amount will reflect the following terms:

n If the value of the lowest performing Underlier increases, remains flat or decreases, but the decrease is not more than 40%, you will receive the face amount plus a contingent fixed return of 45.20% of the face amount

n If the value of the lowest performing Underlier decreases by more than 40%, you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the value of the lowest performing Underlier from its starting value, and you will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the face amount of your securities

n Investors may lose a significant portion or all of the face amount

n Any positive return on the securities at maturity will be limited to the contingent fixed return, even if the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier significantly exceeds its starting value; you will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlier

n Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the lowest performing Underlier. You will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underliers. Therefore, you will be adversely affected if any Underlier performs poorly, even if the other Underliers perform favorably

n All payments on the securities are subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal, and you will have no ability to pursue any Underlier for payment; if Bank of Montreal defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment

n No periodic interest payments or dividends

n No exchange listing; designed to be held to maturity

On the date of this pricing supplement, the estimated initial value of the securities is $922.95 per security. As discussed in more detail in this pricing supplement, the actual value of the securities at any time will reflect many factors and cannot be predicted with accuracy. See “Estimated Value of the Securities” in this pricing supplement.

Estimated Value of the Securities

Our estimated initial value of the securities equals the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components:

· a fixed-income debt component with the same tenor as the securities, valued using our internal funding rate for structured notes; and

· one or more derivative transactions relating to the economic terms of the securities.

The internal funding rate used in the determination of the initial estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The value of these derivative transactions is derived from our internal pricing models. These models are based on factors such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on other inputs, which include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. As a result, the estimated initial value of the securities is based on market conditions at the time it is calculated.

For more information about the estimated initial value of the securities, see “Selected Risk Considerations” below.

Investor Considerations

The securities are not appropriate for all investors. The securities may be an appropriate investment for investors who:

§ seek a contingent fixed return at maturity if the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is greater than or equal to its threshold value;

§ are willing to accept the risk that, if the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is less than its threshold value, they will be fully exposed to the decrease in the value of the lowest performing Underlier from its starting value, and will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the face amount per security at maturity;

§ understand that any positive return they will receive at maturity will be limited to the contingent fixed return, regardless of the extent to which the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier exceeds its starting value;

§ understand that the return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the lowest performing Underlier and that they will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underliers;

§ understand that the securities are riskier than alternative investments linked to only one of the Underliers or linked to a basket composed of each Underlier;

§ understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Underlier;

§ are willing to forgo interest payments on the securities and dividends on the Underliers; and

§ are willing to hold the securities until maturity.

The securities may not be an appropriate investment for investors who:

§ seek a liquid investment or are unable or unwilling to hold the securities to maturity;

§ are unwilling to accept the risk that the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier may be less than its threshold value;

§ seek full exposure to the upside performance of the lowest performing Underlier;

§ seek a greater contingent fixed return at maturity;

§ seek full return of the face amount of the securities at stated maturity;

§ are unwilling to purchase securities with an estimated value as of the pricing date that is lower than the original offering price, as set forth on the cover page;

§ seek current income over the term of the securities;

§ are unwilling to accept the risk of exposure to the Underliers;

§ seek exposure to a basket composed of each Underlier or a similar investment in which the overall return is based on a blend of the performances of the Underliers, rather than solely on the lowest performing Underlier;

§ seek exposure to the Underliers but are unwilling to accept the risk/return trade-offs inherent in the maturity payment amount for the securities;

§ are unwilling to accept the credit risk of Bank of Montreal to obtain exposure to the Underliers generally, or to the exposure to the Underliers that the securities provide specifically; or

§ prefer the lower risk of fixed income investments with comparable maturities issued by companies with comparable credit ratings.

The considerations identified above are not exhaustive. Whether or not the securities are an appropriate investment for you will depend on your individual circumstances, and you should reach an investment decision only after you and your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors have carefully considered the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances. You should also review carefully the sections titled “Selected Risk Considerations” herein and “Risk Factors” in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the securities. For more information about the Underliers, please see the sections titled “IonQ, Inc.,” “Meta Platforms, Inc.” and “NVIDIA Corporation” below.

Determining Payment at Stated Maturity

On the stated maturity date, you will receive a cash payment per security (the maturity payment amount) calculated as follows:

Step 1: Determine which Underlier is the lowest performing Underlier. The lowest performing Underlier is the Underlier with the lowest underlier return, calculated for each Underlier as the percentage change from its starting value to its ending value.

Step 2: Calculate the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier, as follows:

Selected Risk Considerations

The securities have complex features and investing in the securities will involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the securities are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the securities generally in the “Risk Factors” section of the accompanying product supplement and prospectus supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the securities in light of your particular circumstances.

Risks Relating To The Securities Generally

If The Ending Value Of The Lowest Performing Underlier Is Less Than Its Threshold Value, You Will Lose More Than 40%, And Possibly All, Of The Face Amount Of Your Securities At Maturity.

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the securities on the stated maturity date. The maturity payment amount will depend on the direction of and percentage change in the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier relative to its starting value and the other terms of the securities. Because the values of the Underliers will be subject to market fluctuations, the maturity payment amount may be more or less, and possibly significantly less, than the face amount of your securities.

If the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is less than its threshold value, the maturity payment amount will be less than the face amount and you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the value of the lowest performing Underlier from its starting value. The threshold value for each Underlier is 60% of its starting value. For example, if the lowest performing Underlier has declined by 40.1% from its starting value to its ending value, you will not receive any benefit of the contingent downside feature and you will lose 40.1% of the face amount per security. As a result, you will not receive any protection if the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is less than its threshold value and you will lose more than 40%, and possibly all, of the face amount per security at maturity. This is the case even if the value of the lowest performing Underlier is greater than or equal to its starting value or its threshold value at certain times during the term of the securities.

You Will Receive The Contingent Fixed Return Only If The Ending Value Of The Lowest Performing Underlier Is Greater Than Or Equal To Its Threshold Value.

You will receive the contingent fixed return only if the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is greater than or equal to its threshold value. If the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is less than its threshold value, then you will not receive the contingent fixed return, and you will suffer a loss on the securities.

The Potential Return On The Securities Is Limited To The Contingent Fixed Return.

The potential return on the securities is limited to the contingent fixed return, regardless of how significantly the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier exceeds its starting value. The lowest performing Underlier could appreciate from the pricing date through the calculation day by significantly more than the percentage represented by the contingent fixed return, in which case an investment in the securities will underperform a hypothetical alternative investment providing a 1-to-1 return based on the performance of the lowest performing Underlier.

The Securities Are Subject To The Full Risks Of Each Underlier And Will Be Negatively Affected If Any Underlier Performs Poorly, Even If The Other Underliers Perform Favorably.

You are subject to the full risks of each Underlier. If any Underlier performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if the other Underliers perform favorably. The securities are not linked to a basket composed of the Underliers, where the better performance of some Underliers could offset the poor performance of others. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of whichever Underlier is the lowest performing Underlier. As a result, the securities are riskier than an alternative investment linked to only one of the Underliers or linked to a basket composed of each Underlier. You should not invest in the securities unless you understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Underlier.

Your Return On The Securities Will Depend Solely On The Performance Of The Lowest Performing Underlier, And You Will Not Benefit In Any Way From The Performance Of The Better Performing Underliers.

Your return on the securities will depend solely on the performance of the lowest performing Underlier. Although it is necessary for each Underlier to close at or above its respective threshold value on the calculation day in order for you to receive the face amount of your securities at maturity, you will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underliers. The securities may underperform an alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the Underliers, since in such case the performance of the better performing Underliers would be blended with the performance of the lowest performing Underlier, resulting in a better return than the return of the lowest performing Underlier alone.

PRS- 8

Field: /Page

You Will Be Subject To Risks Resulting From The Relationship Among The Underliers.

It is preferable from your perspective for the Underliers to be correlated with each other so that their values will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the securities, you assume the risk that the Underliers will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Underliers, the more likely it is that one of the Underliers will be performing poorly at any time over the term of the securities. All that is necessary for the securities to perform poorly is for one of the Underliers to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Underliers is not relevant to your return on the securities. It is impossible to predict what the relationship among the Underliers will be over the term of the securities. To the extent the Underliers represent a different equity market, such equity markets may not perform similarly over the term of the securities.

The Securities Do Not Pay Interest.

The securities will not pay any interest. Accordingly, you should not invest in the securities if you seek current income during the term of the securities.

The Securities Are Subject To Credit Risk.

The securities are our obligations and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any amounts payable under the securities are subject to our creditworthiness and you will have no ability to pursue any Underlier for payment. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the value of the securities and, in the event we were to default on our obligations under the securities, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the securities.

The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Securities Are Unclear.

There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities and we do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “ IRS ”) with respect to the securities. Consequently, significant aspects of the tax treatment of the securities are uncertain, and the IRS or a court might not agree with our intended treatment of them, as described in “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” below. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized by U.S. investors, and the withholding tax consequences to non-U.S. investors, might be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, future legislation, Treasury regulations or IRS guidance could adversely affect the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the securities, possibly retroactively.

You should review carefully the sections of this pricing supplement and the accompanying product supplement entitled “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” and consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities, as well as tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

The Stated Maturity Date May Be Postponed If The Calculation Day Is Postponed.

The calculation day will be postponed if the originally scheduled calculation day is not a trading day or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on the calculation day. If such a postponement occurs, the stated maturity date may be postponed. For additional information, see “General Terms of the Securities—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Calculation Day—Securities Linked to Multiple Market Measures” and “—Payment Dates” in the accompanying product supplement.

Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Securities And Any Secondary Market

The Estimated Value Of The Securities On The Pricing Date, Based On Our Proprietary Pricing Models, Will Be Less Than The Original Offering Price.

Our initial estimated value of the securities is only an estimate, and is based on a number of factors. The original offering price of the securities may exceed our initial estimated value, because costs associated with offering, structuring and hedging the securities are included in the original offering price, but are not included in the estimated value. These costs will include any agent discount and selling concessions and the cost of hedging our obligations under the securities through one or more hedge counterparties (which may be one or more of our affiliates or an agent or its affiliates). Such hedging cost includes our or our hedge counterparty’s expected cost of providing such hedge, as well as the profit we or our hedge counterparty expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge.

PRS- 9

Field: /Page

The Terms Of The Securities Are Not Determined By Reference To The Credit Spreads For Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.

To determine the terms of the securities, we use an internal funding rate that represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. As a result, the terms of the securities are less favorable to you than if we had used a higher funding rate.

The Estimated Value Of The Securities Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which WFS Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Securities From You In The Secondary Market.

Our initial estimated value of the securities is derived using our internal pricing models. This value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors, which include volatility and correlation of the Underliers, dividend rates and interest rates. Different pricing models and assumptions, including those used by the agent, its affiliates or other market participants, could provide values for the securities that are greater than or less than our initial estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors after the pricing date are expected to change, possibly rapidly, and our assumptions may prove to be incorrect. After the pricing date, the value of the securities could change dramatically due to changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, and the other factors discussed in the next risk factor. These changes are likely to impact the price, if any, at which WFS or its affiliates or any other party (including us or our affiliates) would be willing to purchase the securities from you in any secondary market transactions. Our initial estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which WFS or any other party (including us or our affiliates) would be willing to buy your securities in any secondary market at any time.

WFS has advised us that if it, WFA or any of their affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time, the secondary market price offered by it, WFA or any of their affiliates will be affected by changes in market conditions and other factors described in the next risk factor. WFS has advised us that if it, WFA or any of their affiliates makes a secondary market in the securities at any time up to the issue date or during the 3-month period following the issue date, the secondary market price offered by it, WFA or any of its affiliates will be increased by an amount reflecting a portion of the costs associated with selling, structuring and hedging the securities that are included in their original offering price. Because this portion of the costs is not fully deducted upon issuance, WFS has advised us that any secondary market price it, WFA or any of their affiliates offers during this period will be higher than it otherwise would be after this period, as any secondary market price offered after this period will reflect the full deduction of the costs as described above. WFS has advised us that the amount of this increase in the secondary market price will decline steadily to zero over this 3-month period. WFS has advised us that, if you hold the securities through an account with WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates, WFS expects that this increase will also be reflected in the value indicated for the securities on your brokerage account statement. If you hold your securities through an account at a broker-dealer other than WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates, the value of the securities on your brokerage account statement may be different than if you held your securities at WFS, WFA or any of their affiliates.

The Value Of The Securities Prior To Stated Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.

The value of the securities prior to stated maturity will be affected by the then-current value of each Underlier, interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, which are described in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, are expected to affect the value of the securities: performance of the Underliers; interest rates; volatility of the Underliers; correlation among the Underliers; time remaining to maturity; and dividend yields on the Underliers. When we refer to the “ value ” of your securities, we mean the value you could receive for your securities if you are able to sell them in the open market before the stated maturity date.

In addition to these factors, the value of the securities will be affected by actual or anticipated changes in our creditworthiness. You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the securities attributable to another factor, such as a change in the value of any or all of the Underliers. Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the securities, changes in the values of the Underliers may not result in a comparable change in the value of the securities. We anticipate that the value of the securities will always be at a discount to the face amount plus the contingent fixed return.

The Securities Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Securities To Develop.

The securities will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange. Although the agent and/or its affiliates may purchase the securities from holders, they are not obligated to do so and are not required to make a market for the securities. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the securities, the price at which you may be able to sell your securities is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which the agent is willing to buy your securities.

Field: Page; Sequence: 10

PRS- 10

Field: /Page

If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your securities prior to stated maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the securities to stated maturity.

Risks Relating To The Underliers

The Maturity Payment Amount Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Underliers And Therefore The Securities Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.

· Investing In The Securities Is Not The Same As Investing In The Underliers. Investing in the securities is not equivalent to investing in the Underliers. As an investor in the securities, your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held each Underlier for a period similar to the term of the securities because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid on the Underliers. As a holder of the securities, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the Underliers would have.

· Historical Values Of The Underliers Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Underliers During The Term Of The Securities.

· The Securities May Become Linked To The Common Stock Of A Company Other Than The Original Underlying Stock Issuers.

· We Cannot Control Actions By An Underlying Stock Issuer.

· We And Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Underlying Stock Issuer And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.

The Securities Will Be Subject To Single Stock Risk.

The value of an Underlier can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to that Underlier, such as stock price volatility, earnings, financial conditions, corporate, industry and regulatory developments, management changes and decisions and other events, as well as general market factors, such as general stock market volatility and prices, interest rates and economic and political conditions.

Risks Relating To Conflicts Of Interest

Our Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests.

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the securities, which we refer to as a “ participating dealer ,” are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities. In engaging in certain of the activities described below and as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the securities, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the securities. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the securities.

· The calculation agent is our affiliate and may be required to make discretionary judgments that affect the return you receive on the securities. BMOCM, which is our affiliate, will be the calculation agent for the securities. As calculation agent, BMOCM will determine any values of the Underliers and make any other determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the securities. In making these determinations, BMOCM may be required to make discretionary judgments that may adversely affect any payments on the securities. See the sections entitled “General Terms of the Securities— Certain Terms for Securities Linked to an Underlying Stock—Market Disruption Events” and “—Adjustment Events” in the accompanying product supplement. In making these discretionary judgments, the fact that BMOCM is our affiliate may cause it to have economic interests that are adverse to your interests as an investor in the securities, and BMOCM’s determinations as calculation agent may adversely affect your return on the securities.

Hypothetical Examples and Returns

The payout profile, return table and examples below illustrate the maturity payment amount for a $1,000 face amount security on a hypothetical offering of securities under various scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent any actual starting value or threshold value. The hypothetical starting value of $100.00 for each Underlier has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual starting value for any Underlier. The actual starting value and threshold value for each Underlier are set forth under “Terms of the Securities” above. For actual historical data of the Underliers, see the historical information set forth herein. The payout profile, return table and examples below assume that an investor purchases the securities for $1,000 per security. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis. The actual maturity payment amount and resulting pre-tax total rate of return will depend on the actual terms of the securities.

| Contingent Fixed Return: | 45.20%
of the face amount ($452.00 per security) |
| --- | --- |
| Hypothetical Starting Value: | For each Underlier, $100.00 |
| Hypothetical Threshold Value: | For each Underlier, $60.00 (60% of its hypothetical starting value) |

Hypothetical Examples

Example 1. The ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is greater than its starting value, and the maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return equal to the contingent fixed return, which is greater than the underlier return:

	Common Stock of IonQ, Inc.	Class A Common Stock of Meta Platforms, Inc.	Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation
Hypothetical starting value:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical ending value:	$125.00	$105.00	$145.00
Hypothetical threshold value:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical underlier return:	25.00%	5.00%	45.00%

Step 1 : Determine which Underlier is the lowest performing Underlier.

In this example, the Class A common stock of Meta Platforms, Inc. has the lowest underlier return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlier.

Step 2 : Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier.

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,452.00 per security.

Example 2. The ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is greater than its starting value, and the maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount and reflects a return equal to the contingent fixed return, which is less than the underlier return:

	Common Stock of IonQ, Inc.	Class A Common Stock of Meta Platforms, Inc.	Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation
Hypothetical starting value:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical ending value:	$150.00	$160.00	$175.00
Hypothetical threshold value:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical underlier return:	50.00%	60.00%	75.00%

Step 1 : Determine which Underlier is the lowest performing Underlier.

In this example, the common stock of IonQ, Inc. has the lowest underlier return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlier.

Step 2 : Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier.

Because the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is greater than its hypothetical threshold value, the maturity payment amount per security would be equal to the face amount of $1,000 plus the contingent fixed return. Even though the lowest performing Underlier increased by 50% from its starting value to its ending value in this example, your return is limited to the contingent fixed return of 45.20%.

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,452.00 per security.

Example 3. The ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is less than its starting value but greater than its threshold value, and the maturity payment amount is greater than the face amount:

	Common Stock of IonQ, Inc.	Class A Common Stock of Meta Platforms, Inc.	Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation
Hypothetical starting value:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical ending value:	$110.00	$125.00	$95.00
Hypothetical threshold value:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical underlier return:	10.00%	25.00%	-5.00%

Step 1 : Determine which Underlier is the lowest performing Underlier.

In this example, the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation has the lowest underlier return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlier.

Step 2 : Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier.

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $1,452.00 per security.

Example 4. The ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is less than its threshold value, and the maturity payment amount is less than the face amount:

	Common Stock of IonQ, Inc.	Class A Common Stock of Meta Platforms, Inc.	Common Stock of NVIDIA Corporation
Hypothetical starting value:	$100.00	$100.00	$100.00
Hypothetical ending value:	$110.00	$125.00	$50.00
Hypothetical threshold value:	$60.00	$60.00	$60.00
Hypothetical underlier return:	10.00%	25.00%	-50.00%

Step 1 : Determine which Underlier is the lowest performing Underlier.

In this example, the common stock of NVIDIA Corporation has the lowest underlier return and is, therefore, the lowest performing Underlier.

Step 2 : Determine the maturity payment amount based on the ending value of the lowest performing Underlier.

Because the hypothetical ending value of the lowest performing Underlier is less than its hypothetical starting value by more than 40%, you would lose a portion of the face amount of your securities and receive a maturity payment amount per security equal to:

$1,000 + ($1,000 × underlier return of the lowest performing Underlier)

$1,000 + ($1,000 × -50.00%)

= $500.00

On the stated maturity date, you would receive $500.00 per security. As this example illustrates, if any Underlier depreciates from its starting value to its ending value by more than 40%, you will incur a loss on the securities at maturity, even if the other Underliers have appreciated or have not declined below their respective threshold values.

United States Federal Income Tax Considerations

Although there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the securities due to the lack of governing authority, in the opinion of our counsel Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, under current law, and based on current market conditions, it is reasonable to treat a security as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Assuming this treatment of the securities is respected, the tax consequences are as outlined in the discussion under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Securities Treated as Open Transactions” in the accompanying product supplement.

We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “ IRS ”) regarding the treatment of the securities. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the securities, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the securities, including the timing and character of income recognized by U.S. investors, and the withholding tax consequences to non-U.S. investors, might be materially and adversely affected. For example, under one alternative characterization the securities may be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, which would require U.S. investors to accrue income periodically based on a “comparable yield” and generally would require non-U.S. investors to certify their non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8 to avoid a 30% (or a lower treaty rate) U.S. withholding tax. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of “prepaid forward contracts” and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the securities, possibly with retroactive effect.

As discussed in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder (“ Section 871(m) ”) generally impose a 30% (or lower treaty rate) withholding tax on “dividend equivalents” paid or deemed paid to non-U.S. investors with respect to certain financial instruments linked to equities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“ underlying securities ”), as defined under the applicable Treasury regulations, or indices that include underlying securities. Section 871(m) generally applies to financial instruments that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more underlying securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. Pursuant to an IRS notice, Section 871(m) will not apply to securities issued before January 1, 2027 that do not have a delta of one with respect to any underlying security. Based on our determination that the securities do not have a delta of one with respect to any underlying security, the securities should not be subject to Section 871(m). Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on a non-U.S. investor’s particular circumstances, including whether the non-U.S. investor enters into other transactions with respect to an underlying security. If withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld. Non-U.S. investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the securities.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the securities should read the discussion under “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement and consult their tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of an investment in the securities, including possible alternative treatments, and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the laws of the State of New York. Insofar as the foregoing opinion involves matters governed by the laws of the Provinces of Ontario and Québec and the federal laws of Canada, you have received, and we understand that you are relying upon, the opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Canadian counsel for the Bank of Montreal, set forth above. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the trustee’s authorization, execution and delivery of the indenture and the authentication of the master note and the validity, binding nature and enforceability of the indenture with respect to the trustee, all as stated in the opinion of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP dated March 25, 2025, which has been filed as an exhibit to Bank of Montreal’s report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on March 25, 2025.
