Barrier Level 75% of the I nitial Level, resulting in full principal protection against a decline in the Closing Level on the Fi nal Valuation Date of up to 25% from the Initial Level.
Maturity Payment Subject to t he occurrence of an Extraordinary Event, a Holder will receive a payment on either the Cal l Date or the Maturity Date based on the Closing Level on the
applicable V aluation Date. The Maturity Payment will be determined as follows:
(i)
If t
he Closing Level is equal to or above the AutoCall Level on any Valuation Date, the Notes wil l be automatically called by the Bank and a Holder will receive a
Maturity Payment equal to the Principal Amount plus the Variable Return on the applicable Call Date or Maturity Date, calculated using the following formula:
Principal Amount + Variable Return
(ii)
If the Notes are not automatically called by the Bank and the Final Level is equal to or above th
e Barrier Level, there will be no Variable Return payable on the
Notes and a Holder will receive a Maturity Payment equal to the Principal Amount on the Maturity Date.
(iii)
If the Notes are not automatically called by the Bank and the Final Level is below the Barrier Level, a Barrier Event has occurred and there will be no Variable
Return payable on the Notes and a Holder will receive a Maturity Payment that is less than the Principal Amount on the Maturity Date. In this case, the Principal
Amount will be reduced by an amount equal to the Index Return (which will be a negative amount reflecting the decline in the Closing Level), subject to the
Minimum Payment Amount, calculated using the following formula:
Principal Amount + (Principal Amount × Index Return)
If the Notes are automatically called by the Bank before Maturity, the Variable Return will be calculated on the applicable Call Valuation Date and the Maturity Payment
will be made on the Call Date. In such circumstances, the Notes will be cancelled and Holders will not be entitled to receive any subsequent payments in respect of the
Notes. If the Notes are not automatically called before Maturity, the Maturity Payment will be made on the Maturity Date.
The Notes are not redeemable at the option of a Holder. See “Description of the Notes — Maturity Payment” in the Prospectus.

Variable Return Subject to the occurrence of an Extraordinary Event, if the Closing Level is equal to or above the AutoCall Level on any Valuation Date, a Holder will be entitled to receive a Variable Return calculated using the following formula:

Principal Amount × (Fixed Return + Excess Return)

Bank of Montreal U.S. AutoCallable Principal At Risk Notes, Series 1988 (CAD) (F-Class)

HOW DO THE NOTES WORK?

The following hypothetical examples demonstrate how the Maturity Payment will be calculated and determined under four different scenarios. In each scenario below, it has been assumed that an investor purchased and continues to hold $10,000.00 worth of Notes (or 100 Notes). 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 price performance of the Reference Index or the return that a Holder might realize on the Notes. All hypothetical examples assume that no events described under “Special Circumstances” in the Prospectus, have occurred during the term.

Initial Level = 4,000.00 Barrier Level = 3,000.00 (75% of the Initial Level) AutoCall Level = 4,000.00 (100.00% of the Initial Level)

Example 1: Principal Loss at Maturity

==> picture [290 x 119] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [186 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

— Reference Index  Closing Level on Valuation Date
----- End of picture text -----

Valuation Date Closing Level
1 2,360.00
2 1,160.00
3 1,120.00
4 1,280.00
5 1,240.00
6 1,360.00
7 1,400.00

In this hypothetical scenario, the Final Level is below the Barrier Level, so a Holder will receive a Maturity Payment equal to the Principal Amount reduced by an amount equal to the Index Return on the Final Valuation Date (which will be a negative amount reflecting the decline in the Closing Level), subject to the Minimum Payment Amount.

Closing Level on Final Valuation Date = 1,400.00

Index Return = (Final Level – Initial Level) / Initial Level

= (1,400.00 - 4,000.00) / 4,000.00 = -65.00%

Maturity Payment = Principal Amount + (Principal Amount × Index Return)

= $100.00 + ($100.00 × -65.00%) = $35.00 per Note.

Assuming a principal investment of $10,000.00 (or 100 Notes), a Holder will receive a Maturity Payment of $3,500.00 on the Maturity Date (equal to a 65.00% loss on the $10,000.00 principal investment or an annualized loss of 13.92%).

Example 2: Contingent Protection at Maturity

==> picture [290 x 119] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [186 x 7] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

— Reference Index  Closing Level on Valuation Date
----- End of picture text -----

Valuation Date Closing Level
1 2,360.00
2 1,160.00
3 1,120.00
4 1,040.00
5 3,040.00
6 3,600.00
7 3,460.00

In this hypothetical scenario, the Final Level is below the AutoCall Level, but above the Barrier Level, so there is no Variable Return payable on the Notes and a Holder will receive a Maturity Payment equal to the Principal Amount.

Closing Level on Final Valuation Date = 3,460.00

Index Return = (Final Level – Initial Level) / Initial Level

= (3,460.00 - 4,000.00) / 4,000.00 = -13.50% Maturity Payment = Principal Amount = $100.00 per Note.

Assuming a principal investment of $10,000.00 (or 100 Notes), a Holder will receive a Maturity Payment of $10,000.00 on the Maturity Date (or an annualized return of 0.00%).

3 3,520.00
4 3,360.00
5 3,320.00
6 3,960.00
7 5,320.00

In this hypothetical scenario, the Final Level is above the AutoCall Level, thus triggering the Notes to be automatically called by the Bank. A Holder will receive a Maturity Payment equal to the Principal Amount, plus the Variable Return.

Fixed Return on Final Valuation Date = 60.20%

Index Return = (Final Level – Initial Level) / Initial Level

= (5,320.00 - 4,000.00) / 4,000.00 = 33.00%

An Index Return of 33.00% is less than the Fixed Return on the Final Valuation Date, so there is no Excess Return reflected in the Variable Return payable on the Maturity Date.

Variable Return = Principal Amount × (Fixed Return + Excess Return) = $100.00 × (60.20% + 0.00%) = $60.20

Maturity Payment = Principal Amount + Variable Return = $100.00 + $60.20 = $160.20 per Note.

Assuming a principal investment of $10,000.00 (or 100 Notes), a Holder will receive a Maturity Payment of $16,020.00 on the Maturity Date (or an annualized return of 6.96%).

— Reference Index  Closing Level on Valuation Date
----- End of picture text -----

In this hypothetical scenario, the Final Level is above the AutoCall Level on the second Call Valuation Date, thus triggering the Notes to be automatically called by the Bank. A Holder will receive a Maturity Payment equal to the Principal Amount, plus the Variable Return on the Call Date.

Fixed Return on second Call Valuation Date = 17.20%

Index Return = (Final Level – Initial Level) / Initial Level

= (5,200.00 - 4,000.00) / 4,000.00 = 30.00%

An Index Return of 30.00% is higher than the Fixed Return on the second Call Valuation Date. Holder will benefit from the Excess Return reflected in the Variable Return payable on the Call Date.

Excess Return = (Index Return – Fixed Return) × Participation Rate

= (30.00% - 17.20%) × 5.00% = 0.64%

Variable Return = Principal Amount × (Fixed Return + Excess Return)

= $100.00 × (17.20% + 0.64%) = $17.84

Maturity Payment = Principal Amount + Variable Return = $100.00 + $17.84 = $117.84 per Note.

Assuming a principal investment of $10,000.00 (or 100 Notes), a Holder will receive a Maturity Payment of $11,784.00 on the Call Date (or an annualized return of 8.52%). The Notes will be cancelled and a Holder will not be entitled to receive any subsequent payments in respect of the Notes.

DISCLAIMER

This document should be read in conjunction with the Bank’s short form base shelf prospectus dated August 25, 2021 (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”) and Pricing Supplement No. 1100 dated May 19, 2022 (the “Pricing Supplement”).

Amounts paid to Holders will depend on the price performance of the Reference Index. The Notes are not designed to be alternatives to fixed income or money market investments. Bank of Montreal does not guarantee that Holders will receive any return or repayment of their principal investment in the Notes at Maturity, subject to the Minimum Payment Amount of $1.00 per Note.
