February 22, 2023 – REX Shares, LLC (“REX”) is pleased to announce the launch of two new MicroSectors Exchange Traded Notes (“ETNs”) issued by Bank of Montreal (“BMO”) linked to the performance of the SPDR^® Gold Shares ETF (ticker: GLD). MicroSectors Gold 3x Leveraged ETNs (ticker: SHNY) and MicroSectors Gold -3x Inverse Leveraged ETNs (ticker: DULL) will start trading today on NYSE Arca.

The demand for hedging and trading tools tailored to specific market sectors, including gold, tech, energy, travel, and financials, is constantly changing. Now, the MicroSectors lineup of ETNs will include 3X leveraged and -3X leveraged inverse exposure to both physical gold, through these new ETNs, and gold miners, through its GDXU and GDXD ETNs.

“We are excited to expand our gold related offerings beyond the pair of gold miner ETNs with a new pair of leveraged and inverse leveraged exchange-traded notes linked to an exchange traded fund that invests in physical gold,” said Scott Acheychek, CEO of REX. “The new gold ETNs will offer investors 3x leverage and -3x inverse leverage exposure to physical gold. We hope that sophisticated investors will use these trading products as a way to tactically trade gold.”

The ETNs are senior, unsecured obligations of BMO.

Investment suitability must be determined individually for each investor, and the ETNs may not be suitable for all investors. This information is not intended to provide and should not be relied upon as providing accounting, legal, regulatory or tax advice.  Investors should consult with their own financial advisors as to these matters.

The ETNs are intended to be daily trading tools for sophisticated investors to manage daily trading risks as part of an overall diversified portfolio. They are designed to achieve their stated investment objectives on a daily basis. The returns on the ETNs over longer periods of time can, and most likely will, differ significantly from the return on a direct long or short investment in the benchmark.

BMO, the issuer of the ETNs, has filed a registration statement (including a pricing supplement, a prospectus supplement and a prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) about each of the offerings to which this press release relates. Please read those documents and the other documents relating to these offerings BMO has filed with the SEC for more complete information about BMO and these offerings. These documents may be obtained without cost by visiting EDGAR on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, Bank of Montreal, any agent or any dealer participating in these offerings will arrange to send the applicable pricing supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus if you so request by calling toll-free at 1-877-369-5412.
