This pricing supplement relates to two separate note offerings. Each issue of the notes is linked to one, and only one, Underlying Asset named below. You may participate in either offering or, at your election, both. This pricing supplement does not, however, allow you to purchase a single note linked to a basket of the Underlying Assets described below.
|
·
|
An investor in the notes may lose up to 90% of their principal amount at maturity.
|
·
|
The notes are designed for investors who seek a 150% leveraged return based on the appreciation in the share price of the applicable Underlying Asset. Investors should be willing to accept a payment at maturity that is capped at the applicable Maximum Redemption Amount (as defined below), be willing to forgo periodic interest, and be willing to lose 1% of their principal amount for each 1% that the price of the applicable Underlying Asset decreases by more than 10% from its price on the Pricing Date.
|
·
|
The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange.
|
·
|
Any payment at maturity is subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal.
|
·
|
The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.
|
·

Our subsidiary, BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMOCM”), is the agent for this offering. See “Supplemental Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” below.

Key Terms of Each of the Notes:
|
|
General:
|
This pricing supplement relates to two separate offerings of notes. Each offering is a separate offering of notes linked to one, and only one, Underlying Asset. If you wish to participate in both of the offerings, you must purchase each of the notes separately. The notes offered by this pricing supplement do not represent notes linked to a basket of the Underlying Assets.
|
Payment at Maturity:
|
If the Percentage Change is greater than or equal to the applicable Cap, then the amount that the investors will receive at maturity for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes will equal the applicable Maximum Redemption Amount.
If the Percentage Change is positive but is less than the applicable Cap, then the amount that the investors will receive at maturity for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes will equal:
|
Principal Amount + [Principal Amount × Percentage Change x Upside Leverage Factor]
|
|
If the Percentage Change is between 0% and -10% inclusive, then the amount that the investors will receive at maturity will equal the principal amount of the notes.
|
|
If the Percentage Change is less than -10%, then the payment at maturity will equal:
|
|
Principal Amount + [Principal Amount × (Percentage Change + Buffer Percentage)]
|
|
Initial Level:
|
The closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Asset on the Pricing Date.
|
Final Level:
|
The closing price of one share of the applicable Underlying Asset on the Valuation Date.
|
Buffer Level:
|
90% of the Initial Level.
|
Buffer Percentage:
|
10%. Accordingly, you will receive the principal amount of your notes at maturity only if the price of the applicable Underlying Asset does not decrease by more than 10%. If the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level, you will receive less than the principal amount of your notes at maturity, and you could lose up to 90% of the principal amount of your notes.

Your investment in the notes may result in a loss. — You may lose some or substantially all, of your investment in the notes. The minimum percentage of your principal that you are entitled to receive under the terms of the notes is only 10%. The payment at maturity will be based on the applicable Final Level, and whether the applicable Final Level of the applicable Underlying Asset on the Valuation Date is less than the applicable Buffer Level. You will lose 1% of the principal amount of your notes for each 1% that the Final Level is less than the Buffer Level. Accordingly, you could lose up to 90% of the principal amount of your notes.
|
|
·
|
Your return on the notes is limited to the applicable Maximum Redemption Amount, regardless of any appreciation in the share price of the applicable Underlying Asset. — You will not receive a payment at maturity with a value greater than the applicable Maximum Redemption Amount per $1,000 in principal amount of the notes. This will be the case even if the Percentage Change of the applicable Underlying Asset exceeds the applicable Cap.
|
|
·
|
Your investment is subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal. — Our credit ratings and credit spreads may adversely affect the market value of the notes. Investors are dependent on our ability to pay the amount due at maturity, and therefore investors are subject to our credit risk and to changes in the market’s view of our creditworthiness. Any decline in our credit ratings or increase in the credit spreads charged by the market for taking our credit risk is likely to adversely affect the value of the notes.
|
|
·
|
Potential conflicts. — We and our affiliates play a variety of roles in connection with the issuance of the notes, including acting as calculation agent. In performing these duties, the economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the notes. We or one or more of our affiliates may also engage in trading of shares of the Underlying Assets or securities held by the Underlying Assets on a regular basis as part of our general broker-dealer and other businesses, for proprietary accounts, for other accounts under management or to facilitate transactions for our customers. Any of these activities could adversely affect the prices of the Underlying Assets and, therefore, the market value of the notes. We or one or more of our affiliates may also issue or underwrite other securities or financial or derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the performance of the Underlying Assets. By introducing competing products into the marketplace in this manner, we or one or more of our affiliates could adversely affect the market value of the notes.
|
|
·
|
Our initial estimated value of the notes is lower than the price to public. — Our initial estimated value of each of the notes is only an estimate, and is based on a number of factors. The price to public of each of the notes exceeds our initial estimated value, because costs associated with offering, structuring and hedging the notes are included in the price to public, but are not included in the estimated value. These costs include the underwriting discount and selling concessions, the profits that we and our affiliates expect to realize for assuming the risks in hedging our obligations under the notes and the estimated cost of hedging these obligations.
|
|
·
|
Our initial estimated value does not represent any future value of the notes, and may also differ from the estimated value of any other party. — Our initial estimated value of each of the notes as of the date of this pricing supplement is derived using our internal pricing models. This value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors, which include volatility of the applicable Underlying Asset, dividend rates and interest rates. Different pricing models and assumptions 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 Pricing Date are expected to change, possibly rapidly, and our assumptions may prove to be incorrect. After the Pricing Date, the value of each of the notes could change dramatically due to changes in market conditions, our creditworthiness, and the other factors set forth in this pricing supplement and the product supplement. The value of each of the notes after the Pricing Date is not expected to correlate with one another. These changes are likely to impact the price, if any, at which we or BMOCM would be willing to purchase the notes from you in any secondary market transactions. Our initial estimated values do not represent a minimum price at which we or our affiliates would be willing to buy your notes in any secondary market at any time.
|
|
·
|
The terms of the notes were not determined by reference to the credit spreads for our conventional fixed-rate debt. — To determine the terms of the notes, we used 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.
|
|
·
|
Certain costs are likely to adversely affect the value of the notes. — Absent any changes in market conditions, any secondary market prices of the notes will likely be lower than the price to public. This is because any secondary market prices will likely take into account our then-current market credit spreads, and because any secondary market prices are likely to exclude all or a portion of the underwriting discount and selling concessions, and hedging profits and estimated hedging costs that are included in the price to public of the notes and that may be reflected on your account statements. In addition, any such price is also likely to reflect a discount to account for costs associated with establishing or unwinding any related hedge transaction, such as dealer discounts, mark-ups and other transaction costs. As a result, the price, if any, at which BMOCM or any other party may be willing to purchase the notes from you in secondary market transactions, if at all, will likely be lower than the price to public. Any sale that you make prior to the Maturity Date could result in a substantial loss to you.
|
|
·
|
Owning the notes is not the same as owning shares of the applicable Underlying Asset or a security directly linked to the applicable Underlying Asset. — The return on your notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned shares of the applicable Underlying Asset or a security directly linked to the performance of the applicable Underlying Asset and held that investment for a similar period. Your notes may trade quite differently from the applicable Underlying Asset. Changes in the price of the applicable Underlying Asset may not result in comparable changes in the market value of your notes. Even if the price of the applicable Underlying Asset increases during the term of the notes, the market value of the notes prior to maturity may not increase to the same extent. It is also possible for the market value of the notes to decrease while the price of the applicable Underlying Asset increases. In addition, any dividends or other distributions paid on the applicable Underlying Asset will not be reflected in the amount payable on the notes.
|
|
·
|
You will not have any shareholder rights and will have no right to receive any shares of the applicable Underlying Asset at maturity. — Investing in your notes will not make you a holder of any shares of the applicable Underlying Asset or any securities held by the applicable Underlying Asset. Neither you nor any other holder or owner of the notes will have any voting rights, any right to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the applicable Underlying Asset or such other securities.
|
|
·
|
Changes that affect the applicable Underlying Index will affect the market value of the notes and the amount you will receive at maturity. — The policies of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC (“S&P”), the sponsor of the S&P Energy Select Sector Index and the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index (each, an Underlying Index), concerning the calculation of the applicable Underlying Index, and the policies of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (“Merrill Lynch,” which is the ‘Index Compilation Agent” of the S&P Energy Select Sector Index), including additions, deletions or substitutions of the components of the applicable Underlying Index and the manner in which changes affecting those components, such as stock dividends, reorganizations or mergers, may be reflected in the applicable Underlying Index, and, therefore, could affect the share price of the applicable Underlying Asset, the amount payable on the notes at maturity, and the market value of the notes prior to maturity. The amount payable on the notes and their market value could also be affected if the Index Sponsor or Index Compilation Agent changes these policies, for example, by changing the manner in which it calculates the applicable Underlying Index, or if the Index Sponsor discontinues or suspends the calculation or publication of the applicable Underlying Index.
|
|
·
|
We have no affiliation with the Index Sponsor or the Index Compilation Agent and will not be responsible for any actions taken by them. — The Index Sponsor and the Index Compilation Agent are not affiliates of ours and will not be involved in the offerings of the notes in any way. Consequently, we have no control over their actions, including any actions of the type that would require the calculation agent to adjust the payment to you at maturity. The Index Sponsor and the Index Compilation Agent have no obligation of any sort with respect to the notes. Thus, they have no obligation to take your interests into consideration for any reason, including in taking any actions that might affect the value of the notes. None of our proceeds from any issuance of the notes will be delivered to the Index Sponsor or Index Compilation Agent.
|
|
·
|
Adjustments to the applicable Underlying Asset could adversely affect the notes. SSgA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSFM”), as the sponsor and advisor of the Underlying Assets, is responsible for calculating and maintaining each of the Underlying Assets. SSFM can add, delete or substitute the stocks comprising the applicable Underlying Asset or may make other methodological changes that could change the share price of the applicable Underlying Asset at any time. If one or more of these events occurs, the calculation of the amount payable at maturity may be adjusted to reflect such event or events. Consequently, any of these actions could adversely affect the amount payable at maturity and/or the market value of the applicable notes.
|
|
·
|
We and our affiliates do not have any affiliation with the investment advisor of the Underlying Assets and are not responsible for its public disclosure of information. —The investment advisor of the Underlying Assets advises each Underlying Asset on various matters including matters relating to the policies, maintenance and calculation of the applicable Underlying Asset. We and our affiliates are not affiliated with the investment advisor in any way and have no ability to control or predict its actions, including any errors in or discontinuance of disclosure regarding its methods or policies relating to any of the Underlying Assets. The investment advisor is not involved in the offerings of the notes in any way and has no obligation to consider your interests as an owner of the applicable notes in taking any actions relating to the applicable Underlying Asset that might affect the value of those notes. Neither we nor any of our affiliates has independently verified the adequacy or accuracy of the information about the investment advisor or any of the Underlying Assets contained in any public disclosure of information. You, as an investor in the applicable notes, should make your own investigation into the applicable Underlying Asset.
|
|
·
|
The correlation between the performance of the applicable Underlying Asset and the performance of the applicable Underlying Index may be imperfect. — The performance of the applicable Underlying Asset is linked principally to the performance of the applicable Underlying Index. However, because of the potential discrepancies identified in more detail in the product supplement, the return on the applicable Underlying Asset may correlate imperfectly with the return on the applicable Underlying Index.
|
|
·
|
The applicable Underlying Asset is subject to management risks. — The applicable Underlying Asset is subject to management risk, which is the risk that the investment advisor’s investment strategy, the implementation of which is subject to a number of constraints, may not produce the intended results. For example, the investment advisor may invest a portion of the applicable Underlying Asset’s assets in securities not included in the relevant industry or sector but which the investment advisor believes will help the applicable Underlying Asset track the relevant industry or sector.
|
|
·
|
Lack of liquidity. — The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. BMOCM may offer to purchase the notes in the secondary market, but is not required to do so. Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the notes easily. Because other dealers are not likely to make a secondary market for the notes, the price at which you may be able to trade your notes is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which BMOCM is willing to buy the notes.
|
|
·
|
Hedging and trading activities. — We or any of our affiliates have carried out or may carry out hedging activities related to the notes, including purchasing or selling shares of an Underlying Asset or securities held by the applicable Underlying Asset, or futures or options relating to the applicable Underlying Asset, or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the performance of the applicable Underlying Asset. We or our affiliates may also engage in trading of shares of the applicable Underlying Asset or securities included in the applicable Underlying Index from time to time. Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the Pricing Date and during the term of the notes could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.
|
|
·
|
Many economic and market factors will influence the value of the notes. — In addition to the price of the applicable Underlying Asset and interest rates on any trading day, the value of the notes will be affected by a number of economic and market factors that may either offset or magnify each other, and which are described in more detail in the product supplement.
|
|
·
|
You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the applicable Underlying Asset. — In the ordinary course of their businesses, our affiliates from time to time may express views on expected movements in the price of the applicable Underlying Asset or the prices of the securities held by the applicable Underlying Asset. One or more of our affiliates have published, and in the future may publish, research reports that express views on the applicable Underlying Asset or these securities. However, these views are subject to change from time to time. Moreover, other professionals who deal in the markets relating to the applicable Underlying Asset at any time may have significantly different views from those of our affiliates. You are encouraged to derive information concerning the applicable Underlying Asset from multiple sources, and you should not rely on the views expressed by our affiliates.
|
|
·
|
Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain. — The tax treatment of each of the notes is uncertain. We do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or from any Canadian authorities regarding the tax treatment of each of the notes, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement.
|
|
·
|
The stocks included in each Underlying Asset are concentrated in one sector. — All of the stocks included in the Underlying Index for each Underlying Asset re issued by companies in a single sector, as described in more detail below. As a result, the stocks that will determine the performance of the applicable Underlying Index, which the applicable Underlying Asset seeks to replicate, are concentrated in one sector. Although an investment in the notes will not give holders any ownership or other direct interests in the stocks comprising the applicable Underlying Index, the return on an investment in the notes will be subject to certain risks associated with a direct equity investment in companies in the applicable sector. Accordingly, by investing in the notes, you will not benefit from the diversification which could result from an investment linked to companies that operate in multiple sectors.
|
|
·
|
Risks associated with the energy sector. — The issuers of the stocks held by the XLE and included in its Underlying Index develop and produce, among other things, crude oil and natural gas, and provide, among other things, drilling services and other services related to oil and gas production and distribution. Stock prices for these types of companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for oil, gas and energy products in general. The price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, world events and economic conditions will likewise affect the performance of these companies. Correspondingly, the stocks of companies in this sector are subject to swift price fluctuations caused by events relating to international politics, the ability of the OPEC to set and maintain production levels and pricing, the level of production in non-OPEC countries, energy conservation, the success of exploration projects and tax and other governmental regulatory policies. Weak demand for the companies’ products or services or for oil and gas products and services in general, as well as negative developments in these other areas, would adversely impact the value of the stocks held by the applicable Underlying Asset and included in the applicable Underlying Index, the market price of the applicable Underlying Asset, and the value of the notes.
|
|
·
|
Risks associated with the real estate sector. — The stocks held by the RWR are issued by companies involved in the real estate industry. The value of real estate and, consequently, REITS and other companies involved in the real estate industry, may be affected by many complex factors that interrelate with each other in complex and unpredictable ways. Such factors may include, but are not limited to, general economic and political conditions, liquidity in the real estate market, rising or falling interest rates, governmental actions and the ability of borrowers to obtain financing for real estate development or to repay their loans. Any negative developments in any such factor would adversely impact the value of the stocks held by the applicable Underlying Asset and included in the applicable Underlying Index, the market price of the applicable Underlying Asset, and the value of the notes.

|
Each of the component stocks in a Select Sector Index (the “SPDR Component Stocks”) is a constituent company of the S&P 500® Index.
|
|
•
|
The nine Select Sector Indices together will include all of the companies represented in the S&P 500® Index and each of the stocks in the S&P 500® Index will be allocated to one and only one of the Select Sector Indices.
|
|
•
|
Merrill Lynch, acting as the Index Compilation Agent, assigns each constituent stock of the S&P 500® Index to a Select Sector Index. Merrill Lynch, after consultation with S&P, assigns a company’s stock to a particular Select Sector Index on the basis of that company’s sales and earnings composition and the sensitivity of the company’s stock price and business results to the common factors that affect other companies in each Select Sector Index.
|
|
•
|
S&P has sole control over the removal of stocks from the S&P 500® Index and the selection of replacement stocks to be added to the S&P 500® Index. However, S&P plays only a consulting role in the Select Sector Indices.
|
|
•
|
Each Select Sector Index is calculated by S&P using a modified “market capitalization” methodology. This design ensures that each of the component stocks within a Select Sector Index is represented in a proportion consistent with its percentage with respect to the total market capitalization of that Select Sector Index. However, under certain conditions, the number of shares of a component stock within the Select Sector Index may be adjusted to conform to certain Internal Revenue Code requirements
