Investment Highlights

The notes offered by the pricing supplement are unsecured debt securities issued by Bank of Montreal.

The principal amount is NOT fully protected under the notes.

• Autocall: Automatic early redemption at par plus the variable return applicable to the relevant autocall payment date if the closing level is at or above the autocall level on any observation date.

• Autocall level: 100.00% of the initial level.

• Potential fixed return

Reference Portfolio*

Reference asset Ticker symbol Solactive Canada Bank 40 AR SOLCAB40 Index

The Solactive Canada Bank 40 AR Index is an adjusted return index. It aims to track the gross total return performance of the Solactive Canada Bank TR Index (the “underlying index”), calculated in CAD, less an adjusted return factor of 40 index points per annum that will be calculated daily in arrears (the “adjusted return factor”). The underlying index is a free-float market capitalization index. The methodology of the underlying index provides that the constituent securities fulfill all of the following criteria: listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange that have their primary listing in Canada, classified by the index sponsor as “Major Banks” or “Regional Banks”, security market capitalization of at least $4 billion, and a minimum average daily trading value of $10 million across all Canadian exchanges, as calculated by the index sponsor. The closing level on July 31, 2023 was 781.88. The adjusted return factor divided by the closing level was therefore equal to 5.12% on July 31, 2023. Over the term of the notes, the sum of the adjusted return factor will be approximately 280 index points, representing 35.87% of the closing level on July 31, 2023.

The dividend yield of the underlying index on July 31, 2023 was 4.53%, representing an aggregate dividend yield of approximately 31.76% over the term of the notes (assuming the dividend yield remains constant and the dividends are not reinvested). An investment in the notes does not represent a direct or indirect investment in any of the constituent securities that comprise the underlying index. You have no right or entitlement to the dividends or distributions paid on such securities.

• Barrier protection: 25.00%

• Downside participation: 100.00%, below the barrier level.

How do the Notes work?

The following hypothetical examples demonstrate how the payment you may receive will be calculated and determined under four different scenarios. The hypothetical closing levels used in these examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed in any way as estimates or forecasts of the future performance of the reference asset or the return that you might realize on the notes. All hypothetical examples assume that no events described under “Certain Additional Terms for Notes Linked to a Reference Index” in the autocallable product supplement have occurred during the term. For ease of analysis, figures below have been rounded.

Barrier level	Autocall level
75% of the initial level	100% of the initial level

Example 1: Payment at Maturity (Negative Scenario)

==> picture [421 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [421 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates, so the notes are not redeemed early. Furthermore, the final level is at 27.00% of the initial level, which is below the barrier level, so the final reference asset return is -73.00%.

In this example, the maturity payment is calculated as follows:

𝑀𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦𝑝𝑎𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡= 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 + 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 × 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛 = 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 + 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 × -73.00% = 𝐶𝐴𝐷$27.00

Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment of CAD $27.00 per note (which is equivalent to a compounded annual loss of 17.04% on the notes).

Example 2: Payment at Maturity (Neutral Scenario)

==> picture [421 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [421 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates, so the notes are not redeemed early. Furthermore, the final level is at 82.00% of the initial level, which is above the barrier level, so the final reference asset return is -18.00%.

Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment of CAD $100.00 per note (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of 0.00% on the notes).

Example 3: Payment at Maturity (Positive Scenario)

==> picture [421 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [421 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates until the final valuation date, where it is above. This results in the notes being redeemed in accordance with the autocall conditions on the

==> picture [114 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Client Brochure

IB-7

==> picture [571 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

final valuation date. Furthermore, the final level is at 111.00% of the initial level, which is above the autocall level, so the final reference asset return is 11.00%.

Because the final reference asset return on the final valuation date is less than the fixed return, the excess return will be zero, and accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment equal to the principal amount multiplied by the sum of (1) 100.00% and (2) the fixed return of 103.25%.

In this example, the maturity payment is calculated as follows:

𝑀𝑎𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦𝑝𝑎𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡= 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 × (100.00% + 𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛) = 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 × (100.00% + 𝑓𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛+ 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛) = 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 × (100.00% + 103.25% + 0.00%) = 𝐶𝐴𝐷$203.25

Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment of CAD $203.25 per note (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of 10.65% on the notes).

Example 4: Automatic Early Redemption

==> picture [421 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [421 x 106] intentionally omitted <==

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates until the fourth autocall observation date. This results in the notes being redeemed early on the fourth autocall payment date. Furthermore, the closing level is at 176.00% of the initial level, which is above the autocall level, so the reference asset return is 76.00%.

Because the reference asset return on the fourth autocall observation date is greater than the fixed return, the excess return will be greater than zero, and accordingly, you would receive an autocall payment equal to the principal amount multiplied by the sum of (1) 100.00%, (2) the fixed return of 59.00% and (3) the excess return. The excess return will be equal to 0.85%, which is calculated as the product of (1) the participation rate of 5.00% and (2) the reference asset return of 76.00% minus the fixed return of 59.00%.

==> picture [571 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

In this example, the autocall payment is calculated as follows:

𝐴𝑢𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑝𝑎𝑦𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡= 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 × (100.00% + 𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛)

= 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 × (100.00% + 𝑓𝑖𝑥𝑒𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛+ 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛) = 𝐶𝐴𝐷$100.00 × (100.00% + 59.00% + 5.00% × (76.00% −59.00%)) = 𝐶𝐴𝐷$159.85

Accordingly, you would receive an autocall payment of CAD $159.85 per note (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of 12.43% on the notes).
