Investment Highlights

The notes offered by the pricing supplement are unsecured debt securities issued by Bank of Montreal. The objective of the notes is to offer investors an income stream via potential periodic coupon payments with contingent downside protection against the loss of their principal investment from any negative performance above the barrier level of the Class A common shares of Meta Platforms, Inc. over the term of the notes. The principal amount is NOT fully protected under the notes.

  • Contingent coupon: 1.03% monthly (equivalent to 12.36% per annum) provided that the closing level is at or above the coupon payment level.
  • Coupon payment level: 70.00% of the initial level.
  • Autocall: Automatic early redemption at par plus any final coupon payment if the closing level is at or above the autocall level on any autocall observation date. The notes cannot be automatically called prior to the sixth observation date.
  • Autocall level: 105.00% of the initial level.
  • Barrier protection: 30.00%
  • 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 Company or a Reference ETF" in the income product supplement have occurred during the term. For ease of analysis, figures below have been rounded.

Barrier level/Coupon payment level Autocall level
70.00% of the initial level 105.00% of the initial level

img-4.jpeg
Example 1: Payment at Maturity (Negative Scenario)

Investor cash flow summary per note
(1) Principal amount paid CAD $100.00
(2) Total coupons received CAD $2.06
(3) Maturity payment received CAD $44.00
(4) Total amount received = (2) + (3) CAD $46.06
(5) Return on the notes (annualized) -22.72%

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, it is above the coupon payment level on the first and second coupon observation dates and below the coupon payment level on all the others, so you would receive two of the coupon payments.

Lastly, the final level is at 44.00% of the initial level, which is below the barrier level, so the final reference asset return is -56.00%. Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment of CAD $44.00 per note with coupons totalling CAD $2.06 per note over the term of the notes (which is equivalent to a compounded annual loss of 22.72% on the notes).

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

$$
\begin{array}{l}
\text{Maturity payment} = \text{CAD} \$100.00 + (\text{CAD} \$100.00 \times \text{final reference asset return}) \
= \text{CAD} \$100.00 + (\text{CAD} \$100.00 \times -56.00\%) \
= \text{CAD} \$44.00
\end{array}
$$

Example 2: Payment at Maturity (Neutral Scenario)

Investor cash flow summary per note

(1) Principal amount paid CAD $100.00
(2) Total coupons received CAD $9.27
(3) Maturity payment received CAD $100.00
(4) Total amount received = (2) + (3) CAD $109.27
(5) Return on the notes (annualized) 2.99%

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, it is above the coupon payment level on nine of the coupon observation dates and below the coupon payment level on all the others, so you would receive nine of the coupon payments.

Lastly, the final level is at $92.00\%$ of the initial level, which is above the barrier level, so the final reference asset return is $-8.00\%$ . Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment equal to the principal amount with coupons totalling CAD $9.27 per note over the term of the notes (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of $2.99\%$ on the notes).

img-6.jpeg
Example 3: Payment at Maturity (Positive Scenario)

Investor cash flow summary per note

(1) Principal amount paid CAD $100.00
(2) Total coupons received CAD $37.08
(3) Maturity payment received CAD $100.00
(4) Total amount received = (2) + (3) CAD $137.08
(5) Return on the notes (annualized) 11.05%

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, it is above the coupon payment level on all of the coupon observation dates, so you would receive all of the coupon payments.

Lastly, the final level is at $94.00\%$ of the initial level, which is above the barrier level, so the final reference asset return is $-6.00\%$ . Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment equal to the principal amount with coupons totalling CAD $37.08 per note over the term of the notes (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of $11.05\%$ on the notes).

Example 4: Automatic Early Redemption

Investor cash flow summary per note

(1) Principal amount paid CAD $100.00
(2) Total coupons received CAD $15.45
(3) Maturity payment received (early redemption) CAD $100.00
(4) Total amount received = (2) + (3) CAD $115.45
(5) Return on the notes (annualized) 12.19%

In this hypothetical example, the closing level is below the autocall level on all autocall observation dates until the fifteenth observation date. This results in the notes being redeemed early on the autocall payment date corresponding with the fifteenth observation date. Furthermore, it is above the coupon payment level on fifteen of the coupon observation dates, so you would receive fifteen of the coupon payments before the notes are redeemed.

Lastly, the closing level is at $110.00\%$ of the initial level, which is above the autocall level, so the reference asset return is $10.00\%$ and the notes are redeemed early for a value of CAD $100.00. Accordingly, you would receive a maturity payment equal to the principal amount with coupons totalling CAD $15.45 per note over the term of the notes (which is equivalent to a compounded annual return of $12.19\%$ on the notes).
