BMO Implements 1-for-20 Reverse Split for GDXD ETNs

A reverse split of MicroSectors Gold Miners -3X Inverse Leveraged ETNs (GDXD) works by consolidating shares. The following table shows the effect of a hypothetical 1-for-20 reverse split based on a hypothetical number of ETNs held and a hypothetical closing Indicative Note Value for the ETNs. The closing Indicative Note Value of the ETN is not the same as the trading price of the ETNs.The ETNs are not intended to be “buy and hold” investments, and are not intended to be held to maturity. Instead, the ETNs are intended to be daily trading tools for sophisticated investors to manage daily trading risks as part of an overall diversified portfolio. The ETNs are designed to reflect a 3x leveraged short exposure to the performance of the S-Network MicroSectors™ Gold Miners Index (the “Index”) on a daily basis, before taking into account the negative effect of the fees and charges. However, due to the daily resetting leverage, the returns on the ETNs over different periods of time can, and most likely will, differ significantly from three times the return on a direct short investment in the Index. The ETNs are designed to achieve their stated investment objectives on a daily basis. The performance of the ETNs over different periods of time can differ significantly from their stated daily objectives. The ETNs are considerably riskier than securities that have intermediate- or long-term investment objectives, and are not suitable for investors who plan to hold them for a period of more than one day or who have a “buy and hold” strategy. Investors should actively and continuously monitor their investments in the ETNs on an intraday basis, and any decision to hold the ETNs for more than one day should be made with great care and only as the result of a series of daily (or more frequent) investment decisions to remain invested in the ETNs for the next one-day period. The ETNs are very sensitive to changes in the level of the Index, and returns on the ETNs may be negatively impacted in complex ways by the volatility of the Index on a daily or intraday basis. It is possible that you will suffer significant losses in the ETNs even if the long-term performance of the Index is negative. Accordingly, the ETNs should be purchased only by sophisticated investors who understand and can bear the potential risks and consequences of the ETNs that are designed to provide leveraged exposure to the short performance of the Index on a daily basis and that will be highly volatile and may experience significant losses, up to the entire amount invested, in a short period of time.For additional information, including a discussion of the risks relating to an investment in the ETNs, please carefully read the pricing supplement and related documents that we have filed with respect to the ETNs (collectively, the “ETN Prospectus“). Investors should review the ETN Prospectus carefully prior to making an investment decision.The ETN Prospectus can be found on EDGAR, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC“) website at: www.sec.gov, as well as on the product websites at the following links: www.bmoetns.com and www.microsectors.comBank of Montreal, the issuer of the ETNs, has filed a registration statement (including a pricing supplement, product supplement, prospectus supplement and prospectus) with the SEC regarding the ETNs.
