</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the terms and conditions contained in a terms agreement dated the date of this pricing supplement (the &#8220;terms
agreement&#8221;), BMO Capital Markets Corp. has agreed to purchase, and Bank of Montreal has agreed to sell to it, US$&#8195;&#8195;&#8195; aggregate principal amount of Notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The terms agreement provides that the underwriter is obligated to purchase all of the Notes if any are purchased. The terms agreement also
provides that if the underwriter defaults, the offering of the Notes may be terminated. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The underwriter initially proposes to offer the
Notes to the public at the public offering prices set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement and may offer the Notes to certain dealers at the public offering prices less a concession not in excess of &#8195;&#8195;% of the principal
amount of the Notes. The underwriter may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of &#8195;&#8195;% of the principal amount of the Notes. After the initial offering of the Notes, the public offering prices and other selling
terms may from time to time be varied by the underwriter. The offering of the Notes by the underwriter is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriter&#8217;s right to reject any order in whole or in part. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We estimate that the total offering expenses of the Notes payable by us, excluding underwriting commissions, will be approximately

under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make in respect of any of these liabilities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with this offering, the underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and
penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying
security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.
Penalty bids permit the underwriter to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the Notes originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Such stabilizing
transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of stabilizing, maintaining or otherwise affecting the market prices of the Notes, which may be higher than it would otherwise be in the absence of such transactions.
The underwriter is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the
offering of the Notes, BMO Capital Markets Corp. (the &#8220;Stabilizing Manager&#8221;) (or persons acting on its behalf) may over allot Notes or effect transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Notes during the stabilization
period at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilization may not necessarily occur. Any stabilization action may begin on or after the date of adequate public disclosure of the terms of the offer of the Notes and, if
begun, may cease at any time, but it must end no later than 30 calendar days after the date on which Bank of Montreal received the proceeds of the issue, or no later than 60 calendar days after the date of allotment of the Notes, whichever is
earlier. Any stabilization action or over allotment must be conducted by the Stabilizing Manager (or persons acting on its behalf) in accordance with all applicable laws and rules and will be undertaken at the offices of the Stabilizing Manager (or
persons acting on its behalf) and on the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes are new issues of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to list the Notes on any securities exchange. The

any risk factors or other special considerations that apply to those notes. The pricing supplement or any product supplement may also add, update or change the information in this prospectus supplement. If there is any inconsistency between the
information in this prospectus supplement and any pricing supplement or any product supplement, you should rely on the information in that pricing supplement or product supplement, whichever is most recent. </P>

<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">40-F</FONT> for the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2024 and subsequent interim reports. You should carefully consider whether the notes are suited to your particular circumstances. This section describes the most
significant risks relating to the terms of the notes. We urge you to read the following information about these risks, together with the other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus, any applicable product supplement
and the relevant pricing supplement, before investing in the notes. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General Risks Relating to the Notes </B></P>

any trading market for, or trading value of, your notes. In addition, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect any trading market for, or trading value of, your notes. A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of, or
change in the methodology used to determine, any rating assigned by a rating agency to us or our securities, including the notes, could cause the liquidity or trading price of the notes to decline significantly. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An investment in the notes is subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal, and the actual or perceived creditworthiness of Bank of Montreal
may affect the market value of the notes. Prospective investors should consider the categories of risks identified and discussed from time to time in our most recent Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">40-F</FONT> and interim
reports. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Notes Offered Under This Prospectus May Not Be Conventional Debt Securities </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Notes offered under this prospectus may not be conventional debt securities. If specified in the relevant pricing supplement or product
supplement, the notes may provide no assurance that any of the principal amount of the notes will be paid at or before maturity. In addition, the notes may not provide holders with a return or income stream prior to maturity calculated by reference
to a fixed or floating rate of interest determinable prior to maturity. The notes, unlike traditional debt obligations of a Canadian chartered bank, may be speculative or uncertain in that they could produce no return on a holder&#8217;s original
investment or not repay any principal amount at or before maturity. Prospective purchasers are directed to the relevant pricing supplement and, if applicable, product supplement for the specific terms of the relevant securities, including any risk
factors set out therein. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>There May Be No Market through which the Notes May Be Sold </I></B></P>

and holders may not be able to sell notes. This may affect the pricing of the notes in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the notes, and the extent of issuer regulation. </P>

continuing to administer or to participate in certain benchmarks, and, in certain situations, could result in a benchmark rate no longer being determined and published. Accordingly, in respect of a note referencing EURIBOR or any other relevant
benchmark, such proposals for reform and changes in applicable regulation could have a material adverse effect on the trading market for, the value of and return on such a note (including potential rates of interest thereon). </P>

and perhaps spread to other currencies in the future. Fluctuations in currency exchange rates could adversely affect an investment in a note denominated in a specified currency other than U.S. dollars. Depreciation of the specified currency against
the U.S. dollar could result in a decrease in the U.S. dollar-equivalent value of payments on the note, including the principal payable at maturity. That in turn could cause the market value of the note to fall. Depreciation of the specified
currency against the U.S. dollar could result in a loss to the investor on a U.S. dollar basis. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We Will Not Adjust

described above or in the relevant pricing supplement or any applicable product supplement, we will not make any adjustment or change in the terms of a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> dollar note in the event of any change in

other currency. Consequently, investors in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> dollar notes will bear the risk that their investment may be adversely affected by these types of events. </P>

governments. From time to time, governments use a variety of techniques, such as intervention by a country&#8217;s central bank or imposition of regulatory controls or taxes, to affect the exchange rate of their currencies. Governments may also
issue a new currency to replace an existing currency or alter the exchange rate or exchange characteristics by devaluation or revaluation of a currency. Thus, a special risk in purchasing <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> dollar notes
is that their yields or payouts could be significantly and unpredictably affected by governmental actions. Even in the absence of governmental action directly affecting currency exchange rates, political or economic developments in the country
issuing the specified currency for a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> dollar note or elsewhere could lead to significant and sudden changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the specified currency. These changes could

accepting instructions for that day. Different firms may have different deadlines for accepting instructions from their customers. Accordingly, beneficial owners should consult their participants for the respective deadlines. In addition, at the

period. In addition, the calculation agent will calculate the amount of interest that has accrued during each interest period. If the interest rate basis is not SOFR or another backward looking rate, for each interest period, the calculation agent
will calculate the amount of accrued interest by multiplying the face or other specified amount of the floating rate note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. This factor will equal the sum of the interest factors calculated for
each day during the interest period. The interest factor for each day will be expressed as a decimal and will be calculated by dividing the interest rate, also expressed as a decimal, applicable to that day by 360 or by the actual number of days in
the year, as specified in the relevant pricing supplement. If the interest rate basis is SOFR or another backward looking rate, for each interest period, the calculation agent will calculate the amount of accrued interest by multiplying (i)&nbsp;the
outstanding principal amount of the floating rate notes by (ii)&nbsp;the product of (a)&nbsp;the interest rate for the relevant interest period multiplied by (b)&nbsp;the quotient of the actual number of calendar days in such observation period
divided by 360. For the purposes of disclosure under the Interest Act (Canada), and without affecting the interest payable on any floating rate note, whenever the interest rate on any floating rate note is to be calculated on the basis of a period
of less than a calendar year, the yearly interest rate equivalent for that interest rate will be the interest rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the relevant calendar year and divided by the number of days used in calculating the
specified interest rate. In no event will the interest on any floating rate note be less than zero. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the interest rate basis is not

effective on the next interest reset date. If the interest basis is SOFR or another backward looking rate, upon the request of the holder of any floating rate note, the calculation agent will provide the interest rate most recently calculated for
that note, which may not be the interest rate applicable to the current interest period. The calculation agent&#8217;s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any interest period, will be final and

maximum rate of interest, with some exceptions, for any loan in an amount less than US$250,000 is 16% and for any loan in the amount of US$250,000 or more but less than US$2,500,000 is 25% per year on a simple interest basis. These limits do not
apply to loans of US$2,500,000 or more. For any loans entered into on or after January&nbsp;1, 2025, the <I>Criminal Code</I> (Canada) limits the rate to an annual percentage of 35% for a loan in any amount to a borrower that is a natural person,
and for loans made with a borrower that is not a natural person for business or commercial purposes, the rate is capped at an annual percentage rate of 35% for loans of C$10,000 or under, an annual percentage rate of 48% for loans over C$10,000 but

(CONFLICTS OF INTEREST) </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We and BMO Capital Markets Corp., as the agent, have entered into a distribution agreement with respect to
the senior medium-term notes, Series J, and a distribution agreement with respect to the senior medium-term notes, Series K. Subject to certain conditions, the agent has agreed to use its reasonable efforts to solicit purchases of the notes. We have
the right to accept offers to purchase notes and may reject any proposed purchase of the notes. The agent may also reject any offer to purchase notes. We will pay the agent a commission on any notes sold through the agent. The commission is expected
to range from 0% to 3% of the principal amount of the notes for fixed rate and floating rate notes, depending on the stated maturity of the notes. The commission is expected to range from 1% to 5% of the principal amount of the notes for indexed and
other structured notes, or such other amount as may be agreed between the agent and Bank of Montreal. Under no circumstances will underwriting compensation exceed 8% of the offering proceeds. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may also sell notes to the agent, who will purchase the notes as principal for its own account. In that case, the agent will purchase the
notes at a price equal to the issue price specified in the relevant pricing supplement, less any discount or commission to be agreed with us at the time of the offering. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The agent may resell any notes it purchases as principal to other brokers or dealers at a discount, which may include all or part of the
discount the agent received from us. If all the notes are not sold at the initial offering price, the agent may change the offering price and the other selling terms. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may also sell notes directly to investors. We will not pay commissions on notes we sell directly. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have reserved the right to withdraw, cancel or modify the offer made by this prospectus supplement without notice and may reject orders in
whole or in part whether placed directly with us or with an agent. No termination date has been established for the offering of the notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The agent, whether acting as agent or principal, may be deemed to be an &#8220;<I>underwriter</I>&#8221; within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;<I>Securities Act</I>&#8221;). We have agreed to indemnify the agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments made in respect of those liabilities.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the agent sells notes to dealers who resell to investors and the agent pays the dealers all or part of the discount or commission they
receive from us, those dealers may also be deemed to be &#8220;<I>underwriters</I>&#8221; within the meaning of the Securities Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless otherwise indicated in any additional applicable supplement, payment of the purchase price of notes, other than notes denominated in a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> dollar currency, will be required to be made in funds immediately available in The City of New York. The notes will be in the Same Day Funds Settlement System at DTC and, to the extent the secondary market
trading in the notes is effected through the facilities of such depositary, such trades will be settled in immediately available funds. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may appoint agents, other than or in addition to BMO Capital Markets Corp., with respect to the notes. Any other agents will be named in
the relevant pricing supplements and those agents will enter into the applicable distribution agreement referred to above. The other agents may be affiliates or customers of Bank of Montreal and may engage in transactions with and perform services
for Bank of Montreal in the ordinary course of business. BMO Capital Markets Corp. may resell notes to or through another of our affiliates, as selling agent. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are a new issue of securities, and there will be no established trading market for any note before its original issue date. We do
not plan to list the notes on a securities exchange or quotation system. If we determine to list particular notes on a securities exchange or quotation system, the relevant pricing supplement or an applicable product supplement will so state. We

stop any market activities with respect to the notes doing so at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity or trading market for the notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This prospectus supplement may be used by BMO Capital Markets Corp. in connection with offers and sales of the notes in market-making
transactions. In a market-making transaction, BMO Capital Markets Corp. may resell a note it acquires from other holders after the original offering and sale of the note. Resales of this kind may occur in the open market or may be privately
negotiated, at prevailing market prices at the time of resale or at related or negotiated prices. In these transactions, BMO Capital Markets Corp. may act as principal or agent, including as agent for the counterparty in a transaction in which BMO
Capital Markets Corp. acts as principal, or as agent for both counterparties in a transaction in which BMO Capital Markets Corp. does not act as principal. BMO Capital Markets Corp. may receive compensation in the form of discounts and commissions,
including from both counterparties in some cases. Other affiliates of Bank of Montreal may also engage in transactions of this kind and may use this prospectus supplement for this purpose. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The aggregate initial offering price specified on the cover of this prospectus supplement relates to the initial offering of new notes we may
issue on and after the date of this prospectus supplement. This amount does not include notes that may be resold in market-making transactions. The latter includes notes that we may issue going forward as well as notes we have previously issued.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Bank of Montreal does not expect to receive any proceeds from market-making transactions. Bank of Montreal does not expect that BMO
Capital Markets Corp. or any other affiliate that engages in these transactions will pay any proceeds from its market-making resales to Bank of Montreal. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Information about the trade and settlement dates, as well as the purchase price, for a market-making transaction will be provided to the
purchaser in a separate confirmation of sale. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless Bank of Montreal or an agent informs you in your confirmation of sale that your note

this prospectus supplement, the term &#8220;<I>this offering</I>&#8221; means the initial offering of the notes made in connection with their original issuance. This term does not refer to any subsequent resales of notes in market-making
transactions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The agents may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in
accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Over-allotment involves syndicate sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a syndicate short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long
as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the notes in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. Penalty bids permit
reclaiming a selling concession from a syndicate member when the notes originally sold by such syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Such stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering
transactions and penalty bids may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market prices of the notes, which may be higher than they would otherwise be in the absence of such transactions. The agents are not required to engage in these
activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition to offering notes through the agents as discussed above, other

registration, we may from time to time sell any combination of the common shares, class A preferred shares, class B preferred shares (together with the class A preferred shares, the &#8220;<I>preferred shares</I>&#8221;), senior debt securities,
subordinated debt securities, warrants or subscription receipts, including subscription receipts payable on an instalment basis and represented by instalment receipts, described in this prospectus in one or more offerings, and which we collectively
refer to herein as the &#8220;<I>securities</I>.&#8221; The Registration Statement containing this prospectus, including exhibits to the Registration Statement, provides additional information about us and the securities offered under this
prospectus. The Registration Statement can be read at the SEC web site mentioned under the heading &#8220;<I>Where You Can Find More Information</I>.&#8221; </P>

registration statement we will provide one or more supplements to this prospectus containing specific information about the terms of the securities being offered. Any such supplements, which we refer to in this prospectus as the &#8220;<I>applicable
supplements</I>,&#8221; may include a discussion of any additional risk factors or other special considerations that apply to those securities and may also add to, update or change the information in this prospectus. The applicable supplements
relating to each series of debt securities will be attached to the front of this prospectus. If there is any inconsistency between the information in this prospectus and any applicable supplement, you should rely on the information in the most
recent applicable supplement. We urge you to read carefully both this prospectus and any applicable supplement accompanying this prospectus, together with the information incorporated herein and in any applicable supplement by reference under the

is unlawful to direct these types of activities, then the offer presented in this prospectus does not extend to you. The information contained in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of this prospectus unless the information specifically

STATEMENTS </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our public communications often include written or oral forward-looking statements. Statements of this type are included
in this document, and may be included in other filings with Canadian securities regulators or the SEC, or in other communications. All such statements are made pursuant to the &#8220;safe harbor&#8221; provisions of, and are intended to be
forward-looking statements under, the United States <I>Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 </I>and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect
to our objectives and priorities for fiscal 2025 and beyond, our strategies or future actions, our targets and commitments (including with respect to net zero emissions), expectations for our financial condition, capital position, the regulatory
environment in which we operate, the results of, or outlook for, our operations or the Canadian, U.S. and international economies, and include statements made by our management. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as
&#8220;will&#8221;, &#8220;would&#8221;, &#8220;should&#8221;, &#8220;believe&#8221;, &#8220;expect&#8221;, &#8220;anticipate&#8221;, &#8220;project&#8221;, &#8220;intend&#8221;, &#8220;estimate&#8221;, &#8220;plan&#8221;, &#8220;goal&#8221;,

negative or grammatical variations thereof. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to
inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific in nature. There is significant risk that predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections will not prove to be accurate, that our assumptions may not be correct, and that actual results
may differ materially from such predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections. We caution readers of this document not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, as a number of factors &#8211; many of which are beyond our
control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict &#8211; could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking
statements. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited
to: general economic and market conditions in the countries in which we operate, including labor challenges and changes in foreign exchange and interest rates; political conditions, including changes relating to, or affecting, economic or trade
matters, including tariffs, countermeasures and tariff mitigation policies; changes to our credit ratings; cyber and information security, including the threat of data breaches, hacking, identity theft and corporate espionage, as well as the
possibility of denial of service resulting from efforts targeted at causing system failure and service disruption; technology resilience, innovation and competition; failure of third parties to comply with their obligations to us; disruptions of
global supply chains; environmental and social risk, including climate change; the Canadian housing market and consumer leverage; inflationary pressures; changes in laws, including tax legislation and interpretation, or in supervisory expectations
or requirements, including capital, interest rate and liquidity requirements and guidance, including if the bank were designated a global systemically important bank, and the effect of such changes on funding costs and capital requirements; changes
in monetary, fiscal or economic policy; weak, volatile or illiquid capital or credit markets; the level of competition in the geographic and business areas in which we operate; exposure to, and the resolution of, significant litigation or regulatory
matters, the appeal of favorable outcomes and our ability to successfully appeal adverse outcomes of such matters and the timing, determination and recovery of amounts related to such matters; the accuracy and completeness of the information we
obtain with respect to our customers and counterparties; our ability to execute our strategic plans, complete proposed acquisitions or dispositions and integrate acquisitions, including obtaining regulatory approvals, and realize any anticipated
benefits from such plans and transactions; critical accounting estimates and judgments, and the effects of changes in accounting standards, rules and interpretations on these estimates; operational and infrastructure risks, including with respect to
reliance on third parties; global capital markets activities; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, and their impact on local, national or international economies, as well as their heightening of certain risks
that may affect our future results; the possible effects on our business of war or terrorist activities; natural disasters, such as earthquakes and flooding, and disruptions to public infrastructure, such as transportation, communications, power or
water supply; and our ability to anticipate and effectively manage risks arising from all of the foregoing factors. </P>

specified by the Bank Act, and no more than 15% of the directors may be employees of the Bank or a subsidiary of the Bank, except that up to four of these employees may be directors if they constitute not more than 50% of the directors. Subject to
the following residency requirements, a majority of directors shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the board of directors. Under the Bank Act, a majority of the directors of the Bank must be resident Canadians and, except in limited
circumstances, directors may not transact business at a meeting of directors at which a majority of the directors present are not resident Canadians. Under the Bank Act, the directors may not transact business at a meeting of directors unless at
least one of the directors who is not affiliated with the Bank is present unless an unaffiliated director subsequently approves the business transacted at the meeting. The Bank Act also requires the directors of a bank to appoint from their members
a chief executive officer who must ordinarily be resident in Canada. Under the Bank&#8217;s <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">by-laws,</FONT> the minimum number of directors is seven and the maximum number of directors is 40. The Bank&#8217;s <FONT

joined the board prior to January&nbsp;1, 2010 may serve until the earlier of when they turn 70 or they have served 20 years. Directors who joined the Board on or after January&nbsp;1, 2010 may serve until the earlier of when they turn 70 or they
have served 15 years. However, provided that they are elected, all directors will be allowed to serve for at least ten years, regardless of their age. In addition, the Chairman may serve a full five year term as Chairman, regardless of his or her

Bank&#8217;s Deferred Share Unit Plan for <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-employee</FONT> Directors. Until this level is obtained, directors must take 100% of their annual retainer fee in the form of Deferred Share Units. A Deferred Share Unit
is an amount owed by the Bank to directors having the same value as one common share, but is not paid out (in cash or in common shares purchased on the open market) until such time as the director leaves the board, thereby providing an ongoing

&#8220;major shareholder&#8221; of a bank if the bank has equity of C$12&nbsp;billion or more (which would include the Bank). A person is a major shareholder of a bank where: (i)&nbsp;the aggregate number of shares of any class of voting shares
beneficially owned by that person, and that are beneficially owned by any entities controlled by that person is more than 20% of that class of voting shares; or (ii)&nbsp;the aggregate number of shares of any class of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-voting</FONT> shares beneficially owned by that person, and that are beneficially owned by any entities controlled by that person is more than 30% of that class of
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-voting</FONT> shares. The Minister of Finance may only approve the acquisition of up to 30% of the shares of any class of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-voting</FONT> shares and up to 20% of the shares of a
class of voting shares of the Bank, provided, in each case, that the person acquiring those shares does not have direct or indirect influence over the Bank that, if exercised, would result in that person having control in fact of the Bank. No person
may have a &#8220;significant interest&#8221; in any class of shares of a bank, including the Bank, unless the person first receives the approval of the Minister of Finance. In addition, the Bank is not permitted to record any transfer or issue of
any shares of the Bank if the transfer or issue would cause the person to have a significant interest in a class of shares, unless the prior approval of the Minister of Finance is obtained. No person who has a significant interest in the Bank may
exercise any voting rights attached to the shares held by that person, unless the prior approval of the Minister of Finance for the acquisition of the significant interest is obtained. For purposes of the Bank Act, a person has a significant
interest in a class of shares of a bank where the aggregate of any shares of the class beneficially owned by that person, by entities controlled by that person and by any person associated or acting jointly or in concert with that person exceeds 10%
of all of the outstanding shares of that class of shares of such bank. If a person contravenes any of these restrictions, the Minister of Finance may, by order, direct that person to dispose of all or any portion of those shares. Holders of
securities of the Bank may be required to furnish declarations relating to ownership in a form prescribed by the Bank. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Furthermore, the
Bank Act prohibits banks, including the Bank, from recording a transfer or issuing shares of any class to the Government of Canada, or of any province thereof, to any foreign government or the government of any state, province or other political
subdivision of a foreign country or to any agent or agency of any of the foregoing, except in certain circumstances that requires the consent of the Minister of Finance. </P>

obtained. In addition, the Bank Act prohibits a payment to purchase or redeem any shares or the declaration and payment of a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the Bank is, or the payment would cause the Bank to be, in
contravention of the capital adequacy and liquidity regulations of the Bank Act or any capital or liquidity directions of OSFI. The Bank is prohibited from declaring dividends on its preferred or common shares when it would be, as a result of paying
such a dividend, in contravention of the capital adequacy, liquidity or other regulatory directives issued under the Bank Act. In addition, common share dividends cannot be paid unless all dividends declared and payable on the Bank&#8217;s preferred
shares have been paid or sufficient funds have been set aside to do so. The declaration, amount and payment of future dividends is subject to the discretion of the board of directors, and will be dependent upon the Bank&#8217;s results of
operations, financial condition, cash requirements and future regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends and other factors deemed relevant by the board of directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The government of Canada placed a moratorium on mergers among Canada&#8217;s largest financial institutions in 2003, including the Bank and
its peers, pending a further review of Canada&#8217;s bank merger policy. It is unlikely that the Minister of Finance would grant an approval for a merger between any large Canadian financial institutions at this time. </P>

The most common manner is to adjust the sale price of the debt securities to prorate interest fairly between buyer and seller. This prorated interest amount is called accrued interest. </P>

entitled to any compensation. In either case, such offer or notice is required to include certain prescribed information, including important information regarding the rights of such holders to seek to object and have the compensation to which they
are entitled determined by an assessor (a Canadian Federal Court judge) where holders of liabilities representing at least 10% of the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the liabilities of the same class object to the offer or
absence of compensation. The period for objecting is limited (45 days following the day on which a summary of the notice is published in the <I>Canada Gazette</I>) and failure by holders holding a sufficient principal amount plus accrued and unpaid
interest of affected bail-inable debt securities to object within the prescribed period will result in the loss of any ability to object to the offered compensation or absence of compensation, as applicable. CDIC will pay the relevant holders the
offered compensation within 135 days after the date on which a summary of the notice is published in the <I>Canada Gazette</I> if the offer of compensation is accepted, the holder does not notify CDIC of acceptance or objection to the offer or if
the holder objects to the offer but the 10% threshold described above is not met within the aforementioned <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">45-day</FONT> period. </P>

registered in the name of a bank, broker or other financial institution that the investor chooses, and the investor would hold only a beneficial interest in those debt securities through an account he or she maintains at that institution. </P>

brokers and other financial institutions in whose names the debt securities are registered as the holders of those debt securities, and we will make all payments on those debt securities, including deliveries of any property other than cash, to
them. These institutions pass along the payments they receive to their customers who are the beneficial owners, but only because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. Investors who hold debt

obligations to investors who hold beneficial interests in global securities, in street name or by any other indirect means. This will be the case whether an investor chooses to be an indirect owner of a debt security or has no choice because we are
issuing the debt securities only in global form. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For example, once we make a payment or give a notice to the registered holder, we have
no further responsibility for that payment or notice even if that holder is required, under agreements with depositary participants or customers or by law, to pass it along to the indirect owners but does not do so. Similarly, if we want to obtain
the approval of the holders for any purpose &#8212; for example, to amend the indenture for a series of debt securities or to relieve us of the consequences of a default or of our obligation to comply with a particular provision of an indenture
&#8212; we would seek the approval only from the registered holders, and not the indirect owners, of the relevant debt securities. Whether and how the registered holders contact the indirect owners is up to the registered holders. </P>

informed us that it is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a &#8220;<I>banking organization</I>&#8221; within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a &#8220;<I>clearing
corporation</I>&#8221; within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a &#8220;<I>clearing agency</I>&#8221; registered pursuant to the provisions of Section&nbsp;17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds debt securities that DTC
participants deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among DTC participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited debt securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in DTC
participants&#8217; accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. DTC participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations, and may include other organizations. DTC is
a wholly owned subsidiary of the Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation, which in turn is owned by a number of participants of DTC and members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation, as
well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. The rules applicable to DTC and DTC participants are on file with the SEC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Purchases of debt securities within the DTC system must be made by or through DTC participants, who will receive a credit for the debt
securities on DTC&#8217;s records. Transfers of ownership interests in the debt securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Redemption notices will be sent to DTC&#8217;s nominee, Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co., as the registered holder of the debt securities. If less than all
of the debt securities are being redeemed, DTC will determine the amount of the interest of each direct participant to be redeemed in accordance with its then-current procedures. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In instances in which a vote is required, neither DTC nor Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co. will itself consent or vote with respect to the debt securities.
Under its usual procedures, DTC would mail an omnibus proxy to the relevant trustee as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede&nbsp;&amp; Co.&#8217;s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose
accounts such debt securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy). </P>

DTC&#8217;s usual practice is to credit direct participants&#8217; accounts on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC&#8217;s records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payments on
such payment date. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participants and not of DTC, the relevant trustee or us, subject to any
statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of distributions to DTC is the responsibility of the relevant trustee, and disbursements of such payments to the beneficial owners are the responsibility of direct

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Clearstream and Euroclear are securities clearance systems in Europe. Clearstream and Euroclear have respectively informed us that Clearstream
and Euroclear each hold securities for their customers and facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions by electronic book-entry transfer between their respective account holders. Clearstream and Euroclear provide various
services including safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream and Euroclear also deal with domestic securities markets in several countries through
established depositary and custodial relationships. Clearstream and Euroclear have established an electronic bridge between their two systems across which their respective participants may settle trades with each other. Clearstream and Euroclear
customers are world-wide financial institutions including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations. Indirect access to Clearstream and Euroclear is available to other institutions that clear
through or maintain a custodial relationship with an account holder of either system. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Euroclear and Clearstream may be depositaries for a
global security. In addition, if DTC is the depositary for a global security, Euroclear and Clearstream may hold interests in the global security as participants in DTC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As long as any global security is held by Euroclear or Clearstream, as depositary, you may hold an interest in the global security only
through an organization that participates, directly or indirectly, in Euroclear or Clearstream. If Euroclear or Clearstream is the depositary for a global security and there is no depositary in the United States, you will not be able to hold
interests in that global security through any securities clearance system in the United States. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Payments, deliveries, transfers,
exchanges, notices and other matters relating to the debt securities made through Euroclear or Clearstream must comply with the rules and procedures of those systems. Those systems could change their rules and procedures at any time. We have no
control over those systems or their participants and we take no responsibility for their activities. Transactions between participants in Euroclear or Clearstream, on the one hand, and participants in DTC, on the other hand, when DTC is the
depositary, would also be subject to DTC&#8217;s rules and procedures. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Special Timing Considerations Relating to Transactions in
Euroclear and Clearstream</I>. Investors will be able to make and receive through Euroclear and Clearstream payments, deliveries, transfers, exchanges, notices and other transactions involving any debt securities held through those systems only on
days when those systems are open for business. Those systems may not be open for business on days when banks, brokers and other financial institutions are open for business in the United States. </P>

rather than the fixed rate. The qualified floating rate, or qualified inverse floating rate, that replaces the fixed rate must be such that the fair market value of your variable rate debt security as of the issue date approximates the fair market

basis taxpayer who so elects, you will be required to accrue OID on short-term debt securities on either a straight-line basis or under the constant-yield method, based on daily compounding. If you are not required and do not elect to include OID in
income currently, any gain you realize on the sale or retirement of your short-term debt security will be ordinary income to the extent of the accrued OID, which will be determined on a straight-line basis unless you make an election to accrue the
OID under the constant-yield method, through the date of sale or retirement. However, if you are not required and do not elect to accrue OID on your short-term debt securities, you will be required to defer deductions for interest on borrowings

within the United States upon such persons, or to realize upon judgments rendered against the Bank or such persons by the courts of the United States predicated upon, among other things, the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws

recognized by a Canadian court for such purposes. We have also been advised by such counsel, however, that there is substantial doubt whether an original action could be brought successfully in Canada predicated solely upon such civil liabilities.
