**Bank of Montreal Trigger Callable Contingent Yield Notes with Daily Coupon Observation**

**Linked to the Least Performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index<sup>®</sup>, the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index due on or about September 29, 2028**

**Investment Description**

The Trigger Callable Contingent Yield Notes (the "**Notes**") are senior unsecured debt securities issued by Bank of Montreal (the "**Issuer**") linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index<sup>®</sup>, the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index (each an "**Underlier**" and together the "**Underliers**"). On a quarterly basis, unless the Notes have been previously redeemed, the Issuer will pay you a coupon (the "**Contingent Coupon**") if the Closing Value of each Underlier on **each eligible trading day during the applicable Observation Period** is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier. However, if the Closing Value of any Underlier on any eligible trading day during an Observation Period is less than its Coupon Barrier, you will not receive any Contingent Coupon with respect to that Observation Period. The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes on any Optional Redemption Date. If the Issuer elects to redeem the Notes prior to maturity, the Issuer will pay you the Principal Amount of the Notes plus any Contingent Coupon otherwise due, and no further payments will be made on the Notes. If the Issuer does not redeem the Notes prior to maturity, and the Closing Value of each Underlier on the Final Valuation Date (the "**Final Underlier Value**") is greater than or equal to its Downside Threshold, the Issuer will repay the Principal Amount at maturity plus any final Contingent Coupon otherwise due. However, if the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Downside Threshold, the Issuer will pay you a cash payment at maturity that is less than the Principal Amount, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss on the Principal Amount of the Notes equal to the negative Underlier Return of the Underlier with the lowest Underlier Return (the "**Least Performing Underlier**"). In this case, you will have full downside exposure to the Least Performing Underlier from its Initial Underlier Value to its Final Underlier Value, and will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of your initial investment. **Investing in the Notes involves significant risks. You may lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment. You may receive few or no Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes. You will be exposed to the market risk of each Underlier on each eligible trading day during the Observation Periods and any decline in the value of one Underlier may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the value of any other Underlier. You will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlier and will not receive any dividends on the securities included in any Underlier. The Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is observed relative to its Downside Threshold only on the Final Valuation Date, and the contingent repayment of principal feature applies only if you hold the Notes to maturity. Generally, the higher the Contingent Coupon Rate on a Note, the greater the risk of loss on that Note. Any payment on the Notes, including any payment of the Principal Amount at maturity, is subject to the credit of Bank of Montreal. If Bank of Montreal were to default on its payment obligations, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the Notes and you could lose your entire investment.** 

**Features**

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ❑ | **Contingent Coupon:** On each Contingent Coupon Payment Date, the Issuer will pay you a Contingent Coupon if the Closing Value of each Underlier **on each eligible trading day during the related Observation Period** is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier. However, if the Closing Value of any Underlier on **any eligible trading day during the related Observation Period** is less than its Coupon Barrier, you will not receive any Contingent Coupon on the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ❑ | **Issuer Optional Redemption:** The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, on any Optional Redemption Date. If the Issuer elects to redeem the Notes prior to maturity, the Issuer will pay you the Principal Amount of the Notes plus any Contingent Coupon otherwise due, and no further payments will be made on the Notes. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ❑ | **Downside Exposure with Contingent Repayment of Principal at Maturity:** If the Issuer does not redeem the Notes prior to maturity and the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Downside Threshold, the Issuer will repay the Principal Amount at maturity plus any final Contingent Coupon otherwise due. However, if the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Downside Threshold, the Issuer will repay less than the Principal Amount at maturity, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss on your investment equal to the negative Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier. You may lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment. Any payment on the Notes, including any payment of the Principal Amount at maturity, is subject to the credit of Bank of Montreal. |

<sup>1</sup> In the event that we make any changes to the expected Trade Date or Settlement Date, the other relevant dates may be changed so that the stated term of the Notes remains the same.

<sup>2</sup> Subject to postponement. See "Terms of the Notes" on page PS-5 of this pricing supplement.

**Notice to investors: The Notes are significantly riskier than conventional debt instruments. The Issuer is not necessarily obligated to repay the full Principal Amount of the Notes at maturity, and the Notes may have the full downside market risk of the Least Performing Underlier. This market risk is in addition to the credit risk inherent in purchasing a debt obligation of the Issuer. You should not purchase the Notes if you do not understand or are not comfortable with the significant risks involved in investing in the Notes.**

**You should carefully consider the risks described under "Selected Risk Considerations" beginning on page PS-9 herein and "Risk Factors" beginning on page PS-5 of the accompanying product supplement, page S-2 of the prospectus supplement and page 9 of the prospectus before purchasing any Notes. Events relating to any of those risks, or other risks and uncertainties, could adversely affect the market value of, and the return on, your Notes. You may lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment. The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.**

**Note Offering**

We are offering Trigger Callable Contingent Yield Notes linked to the least performing of the Nasdaq-100 Index<sup>®</sup>, the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index. The Contingent Coupon Rate and the Initial Underlier Value and corresponding Coupon Barrier and Downside Threshold for each Underlier will be set on the Trade Date. The Initial Underlier Value of each Underlier will be its Closing Value (as defined below) on the Trade Date. The Notes are offered at a minimum investment of $1,000 (100 Notes).

See "Estimated Value of the Notes" in this pricing supplement.** 

**The Notes are the unsecured obligations of Bank of Montreal, and, accordingly, all payments on the Notes are subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal. If Bank of Montreal defaults on its obligations, you could lose some or all of your investment. The Notes are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Deposit Insurance Fund, the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency.**

**The Notes are not bail-inable notes and are not subject to conversion into our common shares or the common shares of any of our affiliates under subsection 39.2(2.3) of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act.**

**Estimated Value of the Notes**

Our estimated initial value of the Notes equals the sum of the values of the following hypothetical components:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· a fixed-income debt component with the same tenor as the Notes, valued using
our internal funding rate for structured notes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· one or more derivative transactions relating to the economic terms of the
Notes.

The internal funding rate used in the determination of the initial estimated value generally represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. The value of these derivative transactions is derived from our internal pricing models. These models are based on factors such as the traded market prices of comparable derivative instruments and on other inputs, which include volatility, dividend rates, interest rates and other factors. As a result, the estimated initial value of the Notes is based on market conditions at the time it is calculated.

For more information about the estimated initial value of the Notes, see "Selected Risk Considerations" below.

You should also review carefully the sections titled "Selected Risk Considerations" herein and "Risk Factors" in the accompanying product supplement for risks related to an investment in the Notes.

**Terms of the Notes**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Issuer: | Bank of Montreal |
| Original Issue Price: | 100% of the Principal Amount of Notes |
| Principal Amount: | $10 per Note |
| Underliers: | The Nasdaq-100 Index<sup>®</sup> (Bloomberg ticker symbol: NDX), the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index (Bloomberg ticker symbol: RTY) and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index (Bloomberg ticker symbol: SPX) |
| Term: | Approximately 2.5 years, unless redeemed earlier by the Issuer |
| Issuer Optional <br> Redemption: | The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, on any Optional Redemption Date. If the Issuer elects to redeem the Notes prior to maturity, the Issuer will pay you the Principal Amount of the Notes plus any Contingent Coupon otherwise due on such Optional Redemption Date that is also a Contingent Coupon Payment Date, and no further payments will be made on the Notes.<br>If the Issuer elects to redeem the Notes on an Optional Redemption Date, the Issuer will give you notice on or before the Observation Period End-Date immediately preceding that Optional Redemption Date. Any redemption of the Notes will be at the Issuer's option and will not automatically occur based on the performance of any Underlier.<br>If the Notes are redeemed, they will cease to be outstanding on the applicable Optional Redemption Date and you will have no further rights under the Notes after that date. |
| Contingent Coupon: | **If the Closing Value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each eligible trading day during an Observation Period**, the Issuer will pay you a Contingent Coupon on the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date.<br>**If the Closing Value of any Underlier is less than its Coupon Barrier on any eligible trading day during an Observation Period**, the Contingent Coupon applicable to that Observation Period will not accrue or be payable and the Issuer will not make any payment to you on the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date.<br>The Contingent Coupon is a fixed amount based upon equal quarterly installments at the Contingent Coupon Rate. |
| Contingent Coupon <br> Rate: | At least 15.00% per annum (to be set on the Trade Date). Accordingly, the Contingent Coupon with respect to each Observation Period will be equal to at least $0.375 per Note. **Whether Contingent Coupons will be paid on the Notes will depend on the performance of the Underliers.** |
| Observation Periods: | Each Observation Period will consist of each day that is a scheduled trading day (as defined in the accompanying product supplement) for at least one Underlier (each such day, an "**eligible trading day**") from, but excluding, an Observation Period End-Date to, and including, the following Observation Period End-Date; provided that the first Observation Period will consist of each eligible trading day from, but excluding, the Trade Date to, and including, the first Observation Period End-Date. |
| Observation Period <br> End-Dates: | Quarterly. See "Observation Period End-Dates/Contingent Coupon Payment Dates/ Optional Redemption Date" below. |
| Contingent Coupon <br> Payment Dates: | Quarterly. See "Observation Period End-Dates/Contingent Coupon Payment Dates/ Optional Redemption Date" below. |
| Optional Redemption <br> Dates: | Quarterly, beginning approximately three months after the Settlement Date, on the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates following scheduled to occur from June 2026 to June 2028, inclusive. See "Observation Period End-Dates/Contingent Coupon Payment Dates/ Optional Redemption Date" below. |
| Payment at Maturity: | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If the Issuer does not redeem the Notes prior to maturity, on the Maturity Date, you will receive from the Issuer a cash payment per Note calculated as follows:<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **If the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Downside Threshold**, the Issuer will repay the Principal Amount at maturity of $10 per Note *plus* any Contingent Coupon otherwise due on the Contingent Coupon Payment Date that is also the Maturity Date.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **If the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Downside Threshold**, the Issuer will repay less than the Principal Amount at maturity, if anything, resulting in a percentage loss on your investment equal to the negative Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier. Accordingly, the payment at maturity per Note would be calculated as follows: <br>$10 + ($10 × Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier)<br>***If the Issuer does not redeem the Notes prior to maturity and the Final Underlier Value of any Underlier is less than its Downside Threshold, your investment is fully exposed to the decline in the Least Performing Underlier, and you will lose a significant portion or all of your initial investment at maturity.*** |
| Underlier Return: | With respect to each Underlier:<br><u>Final Underlier Value – Initial Underlier Value</u><br> Initial Underlier Value |
| Least Performing <br> Underlier: | The Underlier with the lowest Underlier Return |
| Initial Underlier Value: | With respect to each Underlier, its Closing Value on the Trade Date, as specified on the cover of this pricing supplement |
| Final Underlier Value: | With respect to each Underlier, its Closing Value on the Final Valuation Date |
| Closing Value: | With respect to each Underlier, Closing Value has the meaning assigned to "Closing Level" set forth under "General Terms of the Notes—Certain Terms for Notes Linked to an Index—Certain Definitions" in the accompanying product supplement. |
| Coupon Barrier: | With respect to each Underlier, 70% of its Initial Underlier Value, as specified on the cover of this pricing supplement |
| Downside Threshold: | With respect to each Underlier, 60% of its Initial Underlier Value, as specified on the cover of this pricing supplement |

| Calculation Agent: | BMO Capital Markets Corp. ("**BMOCM**") |
| Market Disruption <br> Events and <br> Postponement <br> Provisions: | If a market disruption event or non-scheduled trading day occurs with respect to an Underlier on any eligible trading day during an Observation Period (other than an Observation Period End-Date), that Underlier will be disregarded on that eligible trading day for purposes of determining whether a Contingent Coupon is payable with respect to such Observation Period. For the avoidance of doubt, any such eligible trading day for any Underlier not affected by a market disruption event or non-scheduled trading day on that eligible trading day will remain a valid day for purposes of determining whether a Contingent Coupon is payable with respect to that Observation Period, even if that day is not a scheduled trading day for any other Underlier or a market disruption event has occurred with respect to any other Underlier on that day.<br>Each Observation Period End-Date (including the Final Valuation Date) is subject to postponement due to non-scheduled trading days and the occurrence of a market disruption event. In addition, a Contingent Coupon Payment Date, an Optional Redemption Date and/or the Maturity Date, as applicable, will be postponed if the immediately preceding Observation Period End-Date is postponed and will be adjusted for non-business days.<br>For more information regarding adjustments to the Observation Period End-Dates, the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates, the Optional Redemption Dates and the Maturity Date, see "General Terms of the Notes—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Valuation Date—Notes Linked to Multiple Underliers" and "—Payment Dates" in the accompanying product supplement. For purposes of the accompanying product supplement, each Observation Period End-Date and the Final Valuation Date is a "Valuation Date" and each Contingent Coupon Payment Date, Optional Redemption Date and the Maturity Date is a "Payment Date." In addition, for information regarding the circumstances that may result in a market disruption event, see "General Terms of the Notes—Certain Terms for Notes Linked to an Index—Market Disruption Events" in the accompanying product supplement. |

**Investing in the Notes involves significant risks. You may receive few or no Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes. You may lose a significant portion or all of your investment. You will be exposed to the market risk of each Underlier and any decline in the value of one Underlier may negatively affect your return and will not be offset or mitigated by a lesser decline or any potential increase in the value of any other Underlier. The Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is observed relative to its Downside Threshold only on the Final Valuation Date, and the contingent repayment of principal feature applies only if you hold the Notes to maturity. Generally, the higher the Contingent Coupon Rate on a Note, the greater the risk of loss on that Note. Your return potential on the Notes is limited to any Contingent Coupons paid on the Notes, and you will not participate in any appreciation of any Underlier. Any payment on the Notes, including any payment of the Principal Amount at maturity, is subject to the creditworthiness of the Issuer. If Bank of Montreal were to default on its payment obligations, you might not receive any amounts owed to you under the Notes and you could lose your entire investment.**

**Selected Risk Considerations**

The Notes involve risks not associated with an investment in conventional debt securities. Some of the risks that apply to an investment in the Notes are summarized below, but we urge you to read the more detailed explanation of the risks relating to the Notes generally in the "Risk Factors" section of the accompanying product supplement and prospectus supplement. You should reach an investment decision only after you have carefully considered with your advisors the appropriateness of an investment in the Notes in light of your particular circumstances.

**<u>Risks Relating To The Notes Generally</u>**

**If The Issuer Does Not Redeem The Notes Prior To Maturity, You May Lose Some Or All Of The Principal Amount Of Your Notes At Stated Maturity.**

We will not repay you a fixed amount on the Notes at stated maturity. If the Issuer does not redeem the Notes prior to maturity, you will receive a payment at maturity that will be equal to or less than the Principal Amount, depending on the ending value of the Least Performing Underlier.

If the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Downside Threshold, the payment at maturity will be less than the Principal Amount, you will have full downside exposure to the decrease in the value of the of the Least Performing Underlier from its Initial Underlier Value, and you will lose 1% of the Principal Amount for every 1% that the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Initial Underlier Value. As a result, if the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is less than its Downside Threshold, you will lose a significant portion, and possibly all, of the Principal Amount per Note at maturity. This is the case even if the value of the of the Least Performing Underlier is greater than or equal to its Initial Underlier Value or its Downside Threshold at certain times during the term of the Notes.

Even if the Final Underlier Value of the Least Performing Underlier is greater than its Downside Threshold, the payment at maturity will not exceed the Principal Amount (and any Contingent Coupon otherwise due), and your yield on the Notes, taking into account any Contingent Coupons you may have received during the term of the Notes, may be less than the yield you would earn if you bought a traditional interest-bearing debt security of Bank of Montreal or another issuer with a similar credit rating with the same Maturity Date.

**The Notes Do Not Provide For Fixed Payments Of Interest And You May Receive No Contingent Coupons On One Or More Contingent Coupon Payment Dates, Or Even Throughout The Entire Term Of The Notes.**

On each Contingent Coupon Payment Date you will receive a Contingent Coupon payment if, **and only if**, the Closing Value of each Underlier on **each eligible trading day during the related Observation Period** is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier. If the Closing Value of any Underlier **on any eligible trading day during an Observation Period** is less than its Coupon Barrier, you will not receive any Contingent Coupon payment on the related Contingent Coupon Payment Date. Furthermore, if the Closing Value of any Underlier is less than its Coupon Barrier on at least one eligible trading day during each Observation Period over the term of the Notes, you will not receive any Contingent Coupons over the entire term of the Notes.

**Whether You Receive A Contingent Coupon On A Contingent Coupon Payment Date Will Depend On The Closing Value Of Each Underlier On Each Eligible Trading Day During The Related Observation Period.** 

Whether you receive a Contingent Coupon on any Contingent Coupon Payment Date will be determined at the end of the related Observation Period, based on the Closing Value of each Underlier on each eligible trading day during that Observation Period. Therefore, if the Closing Value of any Underlier is less than its Coupon Threshold on **at least one eligible trading day during an Observation Period**, you will not receive a Contingent Coupon with respect to that Observation Period. This will be the case even if the Closing Value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Coupon Threshold on every other eligible trading day during that Observation Period.

**The Notes Are Subject To The Full Risks Of Each Underlier And Will Be Negatively Affected If Any Underlier Performs Poorly, Even If The Other Underliers Perform Favorably.**

You are subject to the full risks of each Underlier. If any Underlier performs poorly, you will be negatively affected, even if the other Underliers perform favorably. The Notes are not linked to a basket composed of the Underliers, where the better performance of some Underliers could offset the poor performance of others. Instead, you are subject to the full risks of each Underlier on each eligible trading day during each Observation Period. Furthermore, the risk that you will not receive one or more, or any, Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes and that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the Principal Amount at maturity is greater if you invest in the Notes as opposed to substantially similar securities that are linked to the performance of a single Underlier. You should not invest in the Notes unless you understand and are willing to accept the full downside risks of each Underlier.

**You Will Not Benefit In Any Way From The Performance Of The Better Performing Underliers.**

Although it is necessary for each Underlier to close at or above its respective Coupon Barrier on each eligible trading day during an Observation Period in order for you to receive a Contingent Coupon payment and at or above its respective Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date for you to receive the Principal Amount of your Notes at maturity, you will not benefit in any way from the performance of the better performing Underliers. The Notes may underperform an alternative investment linked to a basket composed of the Underliers, since in such case the performance of the Underliers would be blended and the better performing Underliers could offset the poor performance of other Underliers.

**You Will Be Subject To Risks Resulting From The Relationship Among The Underliers.** 

It is preferable from your perspective for the Underliers to be correlated with each other so that their values will tend to increase or decrease at similar times and by similar magnitudes. By investing in the Notes, you assume the risk that the Underliers will not exhibit this relationship. The less correlated the Underliers, the more likely it is that one of the Underliers will be performing poorly at any time over the term of the Notes. All that is necessary for the Notes to perform poorly is for one of the Underliers to perform poorly; the performance of the better performing Underliers is not relevant to your return on the Notes. It is impossible to predict what the relationship among the Underliers will be over the term of the Notes. To the extent the Underliers represent a different equity market, such equity markets may not perform similarly over the term of the Notes.

**You May Be Fully Exposed To The Decline In The Least Performing Underlier On The Final Valuation Date From Its Initial Underlier Value, But Will Not Participate In Any Positive Performance Of Any Underlier.**

Even though you will be fully exposed to a decline in the value of the Least Performing Underlier if its Final Underlier Value is below its Downside Threshold, you will not participate in any increase in the value of any Underlier over the term of the Notes. Your maximum possible return on the Notes will be limited to the sum of the Contingent Coupons you receive, if any. Consequently, your return on the Notes may be significantly less than the return you could achieve on an alternative investment that provides for participation in an increase in the value of any or each Underlier.

**Contingent Repayment of Your Initial Investment Applies Only If You Hold the Notes to Maturity.**

You should be willing to hold your Notes to maturity. If you are able to sell your Notes prior to maturity in the secondary market, you may have to sell them at a substantial loss relative to your initial investment, even if the value of any or each of the Underliers is greater than its Downside Threshold at the time of such sale.

**A Higher Contingent Coupon Rate And/Or A Lower Coupon Barrier And/Or Downside Threshold Are Associated With Greater Risk.** 

The Notes offer Contingent Coupons at a higher rate, if paid, than the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities of the same maturity. These higher potential Contingent Coupons are associated with greater levels of expected risk as of the Trade Date as compared to conventional debt securities, including the risk that you may not receive a Contingent Coupon on one or more, or any, Contingent Coupon Payment Dates and the risk that you may lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the Principal Amount at maturity. The volatility of the Underliers and the correlation among the Underliers are important factors affecting this risk. Volatility is a measurement of the size and frequency of daily fluctuations in the value of an Underlier, typically observed over a specified period of time. Volatility can be measured in a variety of ways, including on a historical basis or on an expected basis as implied by option prices in the market. Correlation is a measurement of the extent to which the values of the Underliers tend to fluctuate at the same time, in the same direction and in similar magnitudes. Greater expected volatility of the Underliers or lower expected correlation among the Underliers as of the Trade Date may result in a higher Contingent Coupon Rate and/or a lower Coupon Barrier and/or a lower Downside Threshold, but it also represents a greater expected likelihood as of the Trade Date that the Closing Value of at least one Underlier will be less than its Coupon Barrier on one or more eligible trading days during one or more Observation Periods, such that you will not receive one or more, or any, Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes, and that the Closing Value of at least one Underlier will be less than its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date such that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the Principal Amount at maturity. In general, the higher the Contingent Coupon Rate is relative to the fixed rate we would pay on conventional debt securities, the greater the expected risk that you will not receive one or more, or any, Contingent Coupons during the term of the Notes and that you will lose a substantial portion, and possibly all, of the Principal Amount at maturity. On the other hand, a lower Coupon Barrier or Downside Threshold does not necessarily indicate that the Notes have a greater likelihood of paying Contingent Coupons or returning your principal at maturity.

**Our Redemption Right May Limit Your Potential To Receive Contingent Coupons.**

We may, at our option, redeem the Notes on any Optional Redemption Date. Although exercise of the redemption right will be within our sole discretion, we will be more likely to redeem the Notes at a time when each Underlier is performing favorably from your perspective—in other words, at a time when, if the Notes were to remain outstanding, it is more likely that you would have continued to receive Contingent Coupons and received the Principal Amount at maturity. Therefore, our redemption right is likely to limit your potential to receive Contingent Coupons if each Underlier is performing favorably from your perspective. On the other hand, we will be less likely to redeem the Notes at a time when any Underlier is performing unfavorably from your perspective—in other words, you are more likely to continue to hold the Notes at a time when it is less likely that you will continue to receive Contingent Coupons and it is less likely that you will be receive the Principal Amount at maturity.

If we exercise our redemption right, the term of the Notes may be reduced. There is no guarantee that you would be able to reinvest the proceeds from an investment in the Notes at a comparable return for a similar level of risk in the event we redeem the Notes prior to maturity.

**The Notes Are Subject To Credit Risk.**

The Notes are our obligations and are not, either directly or indirectly, an obligation of any third party. Any amounts payable under the Notes are subject to our creditworthiness and you will have no ability to pursue any securities included in any Underlier for payment. As a result, our actual and perceived creditworthiness may affect the value of the Notes and, in the event we were to default on our obligations under the Notes, you may not receive any amounts owed to you under the terms of the Notes and you could lose your entire investment.

**The U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Of An Investment In The Notes Are Unclear.**

There is no direct legal authority regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Notes, and significant aspects of the tax treatment of the Notes are uncertain. Moreover, non-U.S. investors should note that we intend to withhold on any coupon paid to a non-U.S. investor, generally at a rate of 30%. We will not pay any additional amounts in respect of such withholding. You should review carefully the section entitled "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" herein, in combination with the section entitled "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the accompanying product supplement, and consult your tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes.

**The Maturity Date Will Be Postponed If The Final Valuation Date Is Postponed.**

The Final Valuation Date will be postponed if the originally scheduled Final Valuation Date is not a scheduled trading day or if the calculation agent determines that a market disruption event has occurred or is continuing on the Final Valuation Date. If such a postponement occurs, the Maturity Date will be postponed. See "General Terms of the Notes—Consequences of a Market Disruption Event; Postponement of a Valuation Date—Notes Linked to Multiple Underliers" and "—Payment Dates" in the accompanying product supplement.

**<u>Risks Relating To The Estimated Value Of The Notes And Any Secondary Market</u>**

**The Estimated Value Of The Notes On The Trade Date, Based On Our Proprietary Pricing Models, Will Be Less Than The Original Issue Price.**

Our initial estimated value of the Notes is only an estimate, and is based on a number of factors. The Original Issue Price of the Notes may exceed our initial estimated value, because costs associated with offering, structuring and hedging the Notes are included in the Original Issue Price, but are not included in the estimated value. These costs will include any underwriting discount and selling concessions and the cost of hedging our obligations under the Notes through one or more hedge counterparties (which may be one or more of our affiliates). Such hedging cost includes our or our hedge counterparty's expected cost of providing such hedge, as well as the profit we or our hedge counterparty expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in providing such hedge.

**The Terms Of The Notes Are Not Determined By Reference To The Credit Spreads For Our Conventional Fixed-Rate Debt.**

To determine the terms of the Notes, we use an internal funding rate that represents a discount from the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. As a result, the terms of the Notes are less favorable to you than if we had used a higher funding rate.

**The Estimated Value Of The Notes Is Not An Indication Of The Price, If Any, At Which We, BMOCM Or Any Other Person May Be Willing To Buy The Notes From You In The Secondary Market.** 

Our initial estimated value of the Notes is derived using our internal pricing models. This value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors, which include volatility and correlation of the Underliers, dividend rates and interest rates. Different pricing models and assumptions, including those used by other market participants, could provide values for the Notes that are greater than or less than our initial estimated value. In addition, market conditions and other relevant factors after the Trade Date are expected to change, possibly rapidly, and our assumptions may prove to be incorrect. After the Trade Date, the value of the Notes could change dramatically due to changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, and the other factors discussed in the next risk factor. These changes are likely to impact the price, if any, at which we, BMOCM or any other party would be willing to purchase the Notes from you in any secondary market transactions. Our initial estimated value does not represent a minimum price at which we, BMOCM or any other party would be willing to buy your Notes in any secondary market at any time.

For a period of approximately 4 months following issuance of the Notes, the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates would be willing to buy the Notes from investors, and the value that BMOCM may also publish for the Notes through one or more financial information vendors and which could be indicated for the Notes on any brokerage account statements, will reflect a temporary upward adjustment from our estimated value of the Notes that would otherwise be determined and applicable at that time. This temporary upward adjustment represents a portion of (a) the hedging profit that we or our affiliates expect to realize over the term of the Notes and (b) any underwriting discount and selling concessions paid in connection with this offering. The amount of this temporary upward adjustment will decline to zero on a straight-line basis over the 4-month period.

**The Value Of The Notes Prior To Maturity Will Be Affected By Numerous Factors, Some Of Which Are Related In Complex Ways.**

The payout on the Notes could be replicated by a hypothetical combination of financial instruments consisting of a fixed-income debt component and one or more derivative transactions. As a result, the factors that influence the values of fixed-income bonds and derivative instruments will also influence the terms of the Notes at issuance and the value of the Notes prior to maturity. The value of the Notes prior to maturity will be affected by the then-current value of each Underlier, interest rates at that time and a number of other factors, some of which are interrelated in complex ways. The effect of any one factor may be offset or magnified by the effect of another factor. The following factors, which are described in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, are expected to affect the value of the Notes: performance of the Underliers; interest rates; volatility of the Underliers; correlation among the Underliers; time remaining to maturity; and dividend yields on the securities included in the Underliers. When we refer to the "<u>value</u>" of your Notes, we mean the value you could receive for your Notes if you are able to sell them in the open market before the Maturity Date.

In addition to these factors, the value of the Notes will be affected by actual or anticipated changes in our creditworthiness. You should understand that the impact of one of the factors specified above, such as a change in interest rates, may offset some or all of any change in the value of the Notes attributable to another factor, such as a change in the value of any or all of the Underliers. Because numerous factors are expected to affect the value of the Notes, changes in the values of the Underliers may not result in a comparable change in the value of the Notes.

**The Notes Will Not Be Listed On Any Securities Exchange And We Do Not Expect A Trading Market For The Notes To Develop.**

The Notes will not be listed or displayed on any securities exchange. Although BMOCM and/or its affiliates intend to make a secondary market in relation to the Notes, they are not obligated to do so. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop. Because we do not expect that any market makers will participate in a secondary market for the Notes, the price at which you may be able to sell your Notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which BMOCM is willing to buy your Notes. If a secondary market does exist, it may be limited. Accordingly, there may be a limited number of buyers if you decide to sell your Notes prior to maturity. This may affect the price you receive upon such sale. Consequently, you should be willing to hold the Notes to maturity.

**<u>Risks Relating To The Underliers</u>**

**Any Payments On The Notes Will Depend Upon The Performance Of The Underliers And Therefore The Notes Are Subject To The Following Risks, Each As Discussed In More Detail In The Accompanying Product Supplement.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Investing In The Notes Is Not The Same As Investing In The Underliers.** Investing in the Notes is not equivalent to investing in the Underliers. As an investor in the Notes,
your return will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned and held the securities included in each Underlier for
a period similar to the term of the Notes because you will not receive any dividend payments, distributions or any other payments paid
on those securities. As a holder of the Notes, you will not have any voting rights or any other rights that holders of the securities
included in the Underliers would have.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Historical Values Of The Underliers Should Not Be Taken As An Indication Of The Future Performance Of The Underliers During The Term Of The Notes.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **Changes That Affect The Underliers May Adversely Affect The Value Of The Notes And Any Payments On The Notes.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **We Cannot Control Actions By Any Of The Unaffiliated Companies Whose Securities Are Included In The Underliers.** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· **We And Our Affiliates Have No Affiliation With Any Index Sponsor And Have Not Independently Verified Their Public Disclosure Of Information.** 

**The Notes Are Subject To Risks Relating To Non-U.S. Securities With Respect To The Nasdaq-100 Index<sup>®</sup>.**

Because some of the equity securities composing the Nasdaq-100 Index<sup>®</sup> are issued by non-U.S. issuers, an investment in the Notes involves risks associated with the home countries of those issuers. The prices of securities of non-U.S. companies may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws.

**The Notes Are Subject To Small-Capitalization Companies Risk With Respect To The Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index.**

The Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index tracks securities issued by companies with relatively small market capitalizations. These companies often have greater stock price volatility, lower trading volume and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. As a result, the value of the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index may be more volatile than that of a market measure that does not track solely small-capitalization stocks. Stock prices of small-capitalization companies are also generally more vulnerable than those of large-capitalization companies to adverse business and economic developments, and the stocks of small-capitalization companies may be thinly traded and may be less attractive to many investors if they do not pay dividends. In addition, small-capitalization companies are often less well-established and less stable financially than large-capitalization companies and may depend on a small number of key personnel, making them more vulnerable to loss of personnel. Small-capitalization companies are often subject to less analyst coverage and may be in early, and less predictable, periods of their corporate existences. Small-capitalization companies tend to have lower revenues, less diverse product lines, smaller shares of their target markets, fewer financial resources and fewer competitive strengths than large-capitalization companies. These companies may also be more susceptible to adverse developments related to their products or services.

**<u>Risks Relating To Conflicts Of Interest</u>**

**Our Economic Interests And Those Of Any Dealer Participating In The Offering Are Potentially Adverse To Your Interests.** 

You should be aware of the following ways in which our economic interests and those of any dealer participating in the distribution of the Notes, which we refer to as a "<u>participating dealer</u>," are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes. In engaging in certain of the activities described below and as discussed in more detail in the accompanying product supplement, our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may take actions that may adversely affect the value of and your return on the Notes, and in so doing they will have no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the Notes. Our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may realize a profit from these activities even if investors do not receive a favorable investment return on the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·  ***We will exercise our rights under the Notes without taking your interests into account.*** We may, at our option, redeem the Notes on any Optional Redemption Date. Any redemption
of the Notes will be at our option and will not automatically occur based on the performance of any Underlier. As described under "Selected
Risk Considerations—Our Redemption Right May Limit Your Potential To Receive Contingent Coupons" above, we are more likely
to redeem the Notes at a time when it would otherwise be advantageous for you to continue to hold the Notes, and we are less likely to
redeem the Notes at a time when it would otherwise be advantageous to you for us to exercise our redemption right.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·  ***The calculation agent is our affiliate and may be required to make discretionary judgments that affect the return you receive on the Notes.*** BMOCM, which is our affiliate,
will be the calculation agent for the Notes. As calculation agent, BMOCM will determine any values of the Underliers and make any other
determinations necessary to calculate any payments on the Notes. In making these determinations, BMOCM may be required to make discretionary
judgments that may adversely affect any payments on the Notes. See the sections entitled "General Terms of the Notes—Certain
Terms for Notes Linked to an Index—Market Disruption Events" and "—Discontinuation of, or Adjustments to, an Index"
in the accompanying product supplement. In making these discretionary judgments, the fact that BMOCM is our affiliate may cause it to
have economic interests that are adverse to your interests as an investor in the Notes, and BMOCM's determinations as calculation
agent may adversely affect your return on the Notes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·  ***The estimated value of the Notes was calculated by us and is therefore not an independent third-party valuation.*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·  ***Research reports by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may be inconsistent with an investment in the Notes and may adversely affect the values of the Underliers.*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·  ***Business activities of our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates with the companies whose securities are included in the Underliers may adversely affect the values of the Underliers.*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·  ***Hedging activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the values of the Underliers.*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·  ***Trading activities by our affiliates or any participating dealer or its affiliates may adversely affect the values of the Underliers.*** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;·  ***A participating dealer or its affiliates may realize hedging profits projected by its proprietary pricing models in addition to any selling concession and/or fee, creating a further incentive for the participating dealer to sell the Notes to you.*** 

**Hypothetical Examples**

**Hypothetical terms only. Actual terms may vary. See the cover page for actual offering terms.**

The examples below illustrate the payment upon redemption or at maturity for a $10 Principal Amount Note on a hypothetical offering of Notes under various scenarios, with the assumptions set forth in the table below. The terms used for purposes of these hypothetical examples do not represent the actual Contingent Coupon Rate, Contingent Coupon, Initial Underlier Values, Coupon Barriers or Downside Thresholds. The hypothetical Initial Underlier Value of 100.00 for each Underlier has been chosen for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the actual Initial Underlier Value for any Underlier. The actual Contingent Coupon Rate, Contingent Coupon, Initial Underlier Values, Coupon Barriers and Downside Thresholds will be determined on the Trade Date and will be set forth on the cover page and under "Terms of the Notes" above. For actual historical data of the Underliers, see the historical information set forth herein. These examples are for purposes of illustration only and the values used in the examples may have been rounded for ease of analysis. In these examples, we refer to the Nasdaq-100<sup>®</sup> Index, the Russell 2000<sup>®</sup> Index and the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index as the "NDX Index," the "RTY Index" and the "SPX Index," respectively.

|  | Total: | $10.125 |
|  | **Total Return**: | 1.25% |

---

The Issuer redeems the Notes on the first Optional Redemption Date. The Closing Value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each eligible trading day during the first Observation Period. Therefore, the Notes are redeemed on the first Optional Redemption Date and the Issuer will pay you $10.125 per Note, which is equal to the Principal Amount *plus* the Contingent Coupon otherwise due on such Optional Redemption Date that is also a Contingent Coupon Payment Date. No further amounts will be owed to you under the Notes. Accordingly, the Issuer will have paid a total of $10.125 per Note for a total return of 1.25% on the Notes.

**Example 2 — The Issuer Does NOT Redeem the Notes Prior To Maturity and the Final Underlier Value of Each Underlier Is At or Above Its Downside Threshold and a Contingent Coupon Is Paid on the Maturity Date**

|  | Prior Contingent Coupons: | $0.25 ($0.125 × 2) |
|  | Total: | $10.375 |
|  | **Total Return**: | 3.75% |

---

In this example, the Issuer does not exercise its redemption right and the Notes remain outstanding until maturity. Because the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Downside Threshold and the Closing Value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each eligible trading day during the final Observation Period, the Issuer will pay you on the Maturity Date $10.125 per Note, which is equal to the Principal Amount *plus* the Contingent Coupon due on the Contingent Coupon Payment Date that is also the Maturity Date.

In addition, because the Closing Value of each Underlier was greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each eligible trading day during the first and second Observation Periods, the Issuer will pay the Contingent Coupon of $0.125 on each of the related Contingent Coupon Payment Dates. However, because the Closing Value of at least one Underlier was less than its Coupon Barrier on at least one eligible trading day during the third through ninth Observation Periods, the Issuer will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates following those Observation Periods. Accordingly, the Issuer will have paid a total of $10.375 per Note for a total return of 3.75% on the Notes.

|  | Total: | $10.25 |
|  | **Total Return**: | 2.50% |

---

In this example, the Issuer does not exercise its redemption right and the Notes remain outstanding until maturity. Because the Final Underlier Value of each Underlier is greater than or equal to its Downside Threshold, the Issuer will pay you the Principal Amount. However, because the Closing Value of at least one Underlier is below its Coupon Barrier on at least one eligible trading day during the final Observation Period, the Issuer will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Contingent Coupon Payment Date that is also the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the Issuer will pay you $10.00 per Note.

In addition, because the Closing Value of each Underlier was greater than or equal to its Coupon Barrier on each eligible trading day during the first and second Observation Periods, the Issuer will pay the Contingent Coupon of $0.125 on each of the related Contingent Coupon Payment Dates. However, because the Closing Value of at least one Underlier was less than its Coupon Barrier on at least one eligible trading day during the third through ninth Observation Periods, the Issuer will not pay any Contingent Coupon on the Contingent Coupon Payment Dates following those Observation Periods. Accordingly, the Issuer will have paid a total of $10.25 per Note for a total return of 2.50% on the Notes.

|  | Prior Contingent Coupons: | $0.00 |
|  | Total: | $5.00 |
|  | **Total Return**: | -50.00% |

---

In this example, the Issuer does not exercise its redemption right and the Notes remain outstanding until maturity. Because the Final Underlier Value of at least one Underlier is less than its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, at maturity, the Issuer will pay you a total of $5.00 per Note, for a total return of -50.00% on the Notes, calculated as follows:

$10 + ($10 × Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier)

*Step 1: Calculate the Underlier Return of each Underlier:*

Underlier Return of the NDX Index:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Final Underlier Value – Initial Underlier Value | = | 50.00 – 100.00 | = -50.00% |
| Initial Underlier Value | = | 100.00 | = -50.00% |

---

Underlier Return of the RTY Index:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Final Underlier Value – Initial Underlier Value | = | 125.00 – 100.00 | = 25.00% |
| Initial Underlier Value | = | 100.00 | = 25.00% |

---

Underlier Return of the SPX Index:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| Final Underlier Value – Initial Underlier Value | = | 115.00 – 100.00 | = 15.00% |
| Initial Underlier Value | = | 100.00 | = 15.00% |

---

*Step 2: Determine the Least Performing Underlier*. The NDX Index is the Underlier with the lowest Underlier Return and is, therefore, the Least Performing Underlier.

*Step 3: Calculate the Payment at Maturity:*

$10 + ($10 × Underlier Return of the Least Performing Underlier)

$10 + ($10 × -50.00%) = $5.00

In addition, because the Closing Value of at least one Underlier is less than its Coupon Barrier on at least one eligible trading day during each Observation Period, the Issuer will not pay any Contingent Coupons over the term of the Notes.

***PAST PERFORMANCE AND CORRELATION OF THE UNDERLIERS ARE NOT INDICATIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE OR CORRELATION.***

The correlation of a pair of Underliers represents a statistical measurement of the degree to which the returns of those Underliers were similar to each other over a given period in terms of timing and direction. The correlation between a pair of Underliers is scaled from 1.0 to -1.0, with 1.0 indicating perfect positive correlation (i.e., the value of both Underliers are increasing together or decreasing together and the ratio of their returns has been constant), 0 indicating no correlation (i.e., there is no statistical relationship between the returns of that pair of Underliers) and -1.0 indicating perfect negative correlation (i.e., as the value of one Underlier increases, the value of the other Underlier decreases and the ratio of their returns has been constant).

The closer the relationship of the returns of a pair of Underliers over a given period, the more positively correlated those Underliers are. The graph above illustrates the historical performance of each Underlier relative to each other over the time period shown and provides an indication of how close the relative performance of each Underlier has historically been to each other. However, the graph does not provide a precise measurement of the correlation of the Underliers. Moreover, any historical correlation of the Underliers is not indicative of the degree of correlation of the Underliers, if any, that will be experienced over the term of the Notes.

The lower (or more negative) the correlation between the Underliers, the less likely it is that the Underliers will move in the same direction at the same time and, therefore, the greater the potential for one of the Underliers to close below its Coupon Barrier on any eligible trading day during an Observation Period or below its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date. This is because the less positively correlated the Underliers are, the greater the likelihood that at least one of the Underliers will decrease in value. However, even if the Underliers have a higher positive correlation, one or more of the Underliers might close below its Coupon Barrier on any eligible trading day during an Observation Period or below its Downside Threshold on the Final Valuation Date, as the Underliers may decrease in value together.

Although the correlation of the Underliers' performance may change over the term of the Notes, the Contingent Coupon Rate is determined, in part, based on the correlation of the Underliers' performance calculated using our internal models at the time when the terms of the Notes are finalized. A higher Contingent Coupon Rate is generally associated with lower correlation of the Underliers, which reflects a greater potential for missed Contingent Coupons and for a loss of principal at maturity. The correlation referenced in setting the terms of the Notes is calculated using our internal models and is not derived from the returns of the Underliers over the period set forth above. In addition, other factors and inputs other than correlation may impact how the terms of the Notes are set and the performance of the Notes.

**Summary of Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences** 

For a discussion of the material Canadian federal income tax consequences relating to an investment in the Notes, see the section entitled "Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences" in the accompanying product supplement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the accompanying product supplement, the Canadian tax consequences discussed in the accompanying product supplement do not take into account the proposed amendments to the "hybrid mismatch arrangement" rules in the Tax Act released for consultation on January 29, 2026.

**United States Federal Income Tax Considerations** 

Although there is uncertainty regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the Notes due to the lack of governing authority, in the opinion of our counsel Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, under current law, and based on current market conditions, it is reasonable to treat a Note as a single prepaid financial contract with associated coupons for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, because our counsel's opinion is based in part on market conditions as of the date of this document, it is subject to confirmation in the final pricing supplement. Assuming this treatment of the Notes is respected, the tax consequences are as outlined in the discussion under "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders—Notes Treated as Prepaid Financial Contracts with Associated Coupons" in the accompanying product supplement.

We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "**IRS**") regarding the treatment of the Notes. If the IRS were successful in asserting an alternative treatment of the Notes, the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Notes, including the timing and character of income recognized by U.S. investors, might be materially and adversely affected. The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS have requested comments on various issues regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of "prepaid forward contracts" and similar financial instruments and have indicated that such transactions may be the subject of future regulations or other guidance. Furthermore, members of Congress have proposed legislative changes to the tax treatment of derivative contracts. Any legislation, Treasury regulations or other guidance promulgated after consideration of these issues could materially and adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, possibly with retroactive effect.

**Non-U.S. Holders.** The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the coupons is unclear. We intend to withhold on any coupon paid to a Non-U.S. Holder, generally at a rate of 30% or at a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty under an "other income" or similar provision. In order to claim an exemption from, or a reduction in, the 30% withholding under an applicable treaty, you will need to comply with certification requirements to establish that you are not a U.S. person and are eligible for such an exemption or reduction under an applicable tax treaty. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of the Notes, including the possibility of obtaining a refund of all or a portion of any amounts withheld.

As discussed in the accompanying product supplement, Section 871(m) of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder ("**Section 871(m)**") generally impose a 30% (or lower treaty rate) withholding tax on "dividend equivalents" paid or deemed paid to non-U.S. investors with respect to certain financial instruments linked to equities that could pay U.S.-source dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes ("**underlying securities**"), as defined under the applicable Treasury regulations, or indices that include underlying securities. Section 871(m) generally applies to financial instruments that substantially replicate the economic performance of one or more underlying securities, as determined based on tests set forth in the applicable Treasury regulations. Pursuant to an IRS notice, Section 871(m) will not apply to securities issued before January 1, 2027 that do not have a delta of one with respect to any underlying security. Based on the terms of the Notes and current market conditions, we expect that the Notes will not have a delta of one with respect to any underlying security on the pricing date. However, we will provide an updated determination in the final pricing supplement. Our determination is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with this determination. Section 871(m) is complex and its application may depend on your particular circumstances, including whether you enter into other transactions with respect to an underlying security. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the potential application of Section 871(m) to the Notes.

If withholding is required, we will not be required to pay any additional amounts with respect to the amounts so withheld.

Both U.S. and non-U.S. investors considering an investment in the Notes should read the discussion under "United States Federal Income Tax Considerations" in the accompanying product supplement and consult their tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of an investment in the Notes, including possible alternative treatments, and any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or non-U.S. taxing jurisdiction.

**Supplemental Plan of Distribution**

BMOCM, our subsidiary, and UBS are the agents for the distribution of the Notes and will purchase the Notes at the Original Issue Price less the underwriting discount specified on the cover page of this pricing supplement. UBS may sell all or part of the Notes that it purchases from us to investors at the Original Issue Price, or to its affiliates at the Original Issue Price less a concession not in excess of the underwriting discount.

We expect to hedge our obligations through one or more hedge counterparties (which may be one or more of our affiliates). BMOCM or another affiliate of ours expects to realize hedging profits projected by its proprietary pricing models to the extent it assumes the risks inherent in hedging our obligations under the Notes.

Although BMOCM and/or its affiliates intend to make a secondary market in relation to the Notes, they are not obligated to do so. BMOCM will determine any secondary market prices that it is prepared to offer in its sole discretion.

For a period of approximately 4 months following issuance of the Notes, the price, if any, at which we or our affiliates would be willing to buy the Notes from investors, and the value that BMOCM may also publish for the Notes through one or more financial information vendors and which could be indicated for the Notes on any brokerage account statements, will reflect a temporary upward adjustment from our estimated value of the Notes that would otherwise be determined and applicable at that time. This temporary upward adjustment represents a portion of (a) the hedging profit that we or our affiliates expect to realize over the term of the Notes and (b) any underwriting discount and selling concessions paid in connection with this offering. The amount of this temporary upward adjustment will decline to zero on a straight-line basis over the 4-month period.

We may use this pricing supplement in the initial sale of the Notes. In addition, BMOCM or another of our affiliates may use this pricing supplement in market-making transactions in any Notes after their initial sale. Unless BMOCM or we inform you otherwise in the confirmation of sale, this pricing supplement is being used by BMOCM in a market-making transaction.

See "Supplemental Plan of Distribution" in the accompanying product supplement, "Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest) in the accompanying prospectus supplement and "Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)" in the accompanying prospectus for more information.

**Approved Jurisdictions:**

In accordance with and subject to an agent accession agreement between the Issuer and UBS, UBS will not offer, sell or deliver the Notes in any jurisdiction other than the United States.
