The notes are designed for investors who are willing to forgo receiving interest on the notes and are seeking a predetermined return on the notes if the closing level of the EURO STOXX 50® Index (the “Underlying Asset”) on any Call Date is greater than the Initial Level. Investors should be willing to have their notes automatically redeemed prior to maturity and be willing to lose some or all of their principal at maturity.
|
·
|
If on any Call Date, the closing level of the Underlying Asset is greater than the Initial Level, the notes will be automatically called. On the applicable Call Settlement Date, for each $1,000 principal amount, investors will receive the applicable Call Price set forth below.
|
·
|
The notes do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity. Instead, if the notes are not automatically called, the payment at maturity will be based on the Final Level of the Underlying Asset and whether a Barrier Event (as defined below) occurs.
|
·
|
A “Barrier Event” will occur if the closing level of the Underlying Asset on the Valuation Date is less than the Barrier Level (as defined below), which is expressed as a percentage of the level of the Underlying Asset on the pricing date.
|
·
|
If the notes are not automatically redeemed, and a Barrier Event occurs, investors are subject to one-for-one loss of the principal amount of the notes for any percentage decrease from the Initial Level to the Final Level. In such a case, you will receive a cash amount at maturity that is less than the principal amount, and may be zero.
|
·
|
There will be no periodic payments of interest on the notes.
|
·
|
All payments on the notes are subject to the credit risk of Bank of Montreal.
|
·
|
Investing in the notes is not equivalent to investing in the securities included in the Underlying Asset.
|
·
|
The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

Key Terms of the Notes:
|
|||
Automatic Redemption:
|
If, on any Call Date, the closing level of the Underlying Asset is greater than the Initial Level, the notes will be automatically redeemed.
|
||
Payment upon Automatic
Redemption:
|
If the notes are automatically redeemed, then, on the Call Settlement Date, for each $1,000 principal amount, investors will receive the Call Price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement.
|
||
Call Dates:
|
Annually; on March 26, 2015 and on the Valuation Date.
|
||
Call Settlement Dates:
|
The third business day following the applicable Call Date. The call settlement date for the final Call Date will be the maturity date.
|
||
Payment at Maturity:
|
If the notes are not automatically redeemed, the payment at maturity for the notes will be based on the performance of the Underlying Asset. You will receive $1,000 for each $1,000 in principal amount of the note, unless a Barrier Event has occurred.
|
||
If a Barrier Event occurs, then the payment at maturity for each $1,000 in principal amount of your notes will be calculated as follows:
$1,000 + ($1,000 x Percentage Change)
This amount will be less than the principal amount of your notes, and may be zero.
|
|||
Percentage Change:
|
The Percentage Change, expressed as a percentage, is calculated using the following formula:
|
||
Final Level - Initial Level
|
|||

Your investment in the notes may result in a loss. — The notes do not guarantee any return of principal. The notes do not pay interest. If the notes are not automatically redeemed, the payment at maturity will be based on the Final Level and whether a Barrier Event occurs. If the Final Level is less than the Barrier Level, you will be subject to a one-for-one loss of the principal amount of the notes for any Percentage Change from the Initial Level to the Final Level. In such a case, you will receive at maturity a cash payment that is less than the principal amount of the notes and may be zero. Accordingly, you could lose up to the entire principal amount of your notes.
|
|
·
|
Your notes are subject to automatic early redemption. — We will redeem the notes if the closing level of the Underlying Asset on any Call Date is greater than the Initial Level. Following an automatic redemption, you may not be able to reinvest your proceeds in an investment with returns that are comparable to the notes.
|
|
·
|
Your return on the notes, if any, is limited to the applicable Call Price, regardless of any appreciation in the value of the Underlying Asset. — Unless the notes are automatically called, you will not receive a payment at maturity with a value greater than your principal amount. If the notes are automatically called, you will not receive a payment greater than the applicable Call Price, even if the Final Level exceeds the Initial Level by a substantial amount.
|
|
·
|
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 all amounts due on the notes at maturity and on any applicable Call Settlement Date, 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 securities included in the Underlying Asset 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 level of the Underlying Asset 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 Asset. 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 the notes is only an estimate, and is based on a number of factors. The price to public 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 agent’s commission, and 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 as determined on the pricing date was derived using our internal pricing models. This value is based on market conditions and other relevant factors, which include volatility of the 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 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. 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 value does 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 are 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 agent’s commission and the 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 to 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.
|
|
·
|
You will not have any shareholder rights and will have no right to receive any shares of any securities included in the Underlying Asset at maturity. — Investing in your notes will not make you a holder of any shares of any company included in the 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 those securities.
|
|
·
|
Changes that affect the Underlying Asset will affect the market value of the notes, whether the notes will be automatically called, and the amount you will receive at maturity. — The policies of STOXX Limited (“STOXX”), the sponsor of the Underlying Asset, concerning the calculation of the Underlying Asset, additions, deletions or substitutions of the components of the Underlying Asset and the manner in which changes affecting those components, such as stock dividends, reorganizations or mergers, may be reflected in the Underlying Asset and, therefore, could affect the level of the Underlying Asset, the amount payable on the notes at maturity, whether the notes will be automatically called, 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 STOXX changes these policies, for example, by changing the manner in which it calculates the Underlying Asset, or if STOXX discontinues or suspends the calculation or publication of the Underlying Asset.
|
|
·
|
We have no affiliation with STOXX and will not be responsible for any actions taken by STOXX. — STOXX is not an affiliate of ours or will not be involved in the offering of the notes in any way. Consequently, we have no control over the actions of STOXX, including any actions of the type that would require the calculation agent to adjust the payment to you at maturity. STOXX has no obligation of any sort with respect to the notes. Thus, STOXX has 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 the issuance of the notes will be delivered to STOXX.
|
|
·
|
An investment in the notes is subject to risks associated with non-U.S. securities markets. — The Underlying Asset tracks the value of certain European equity securities. You should be aware that investments in securities linked to the value of non-U.S. equity securities involve particular risks. The non-U.S. securities markets comprising the Underlying Asset may have less liquidity and may be more volatile than U.S. or other securities markets and market developments may affect non-U.S. markets differently from U.S. or other securities markets. Direct or indirect government intervention to stabilize these non-U.S. securities markets, as well as cross-shareholdings in non-U.S. companies, may affect trading prices and volumes in these markets. Also, there is generally less publicly available information about non-U.S. companies than about those U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and non-U.S. companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements that differ from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
|
|
·
|
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 may carry out hedging activities related to the notes, including purchasing or selling securities included in the Underlying Asset, or futures or options relating to the Underlying Asset, or other derivative instruments with returns linked or related to changes in the performance of the Underlying Asset. We or our affiliates may also engage in trading relating to the Underlying Asset 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 level of the 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 Underlying Asset. — In the ordinary course of their businesses, our affiliates from time to time may express views on expected movements in the level of the Underlying Asset or the prices of securities included in the Underlying Asset. One or more of our affiliates have published, and in the future may publish, research reports that express views on 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 Underlying Asset at any time may have significantly different views from those of our affiliates. You are encouraged to derive information concerning the Underlying Asset from multiple sources, and you should not rely on the views expressed by our affiliates.
|
Neither the offering of the notes nor any views which our affiliates from time to time may express in the ordinary course of their businesses constitutes a recommendation as to the merits of an investment in the notes.
|
·
|
Significant aspects of the tax treatment of the notes are uncertain. — The tax treatment 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 the notes, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement.
The Internal Revenue Service has issued a notice indicating that it and the Treasury Department are actively considering whether, among other issues, a holder should be required to accrue interest over the term of an instrument such as the notes even though that holder will not receive any payments with respect to the notes until maturity and whether all or part of the gain a holder may recognize upon sale or maturity of an instrument such as the notes could be treated as ordinary income. The outcome of this process is uncertain and could apply on a retroactive basis.
Please read carefully the section entitled “U.S. Federal Tax Information” in this pricing supplement, the section entitled “Supplemental Tax Considerations—Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the accompanying product supplement, the section “United States Federal Income Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus and the section entitled “Certain Income Tax Consequences” in the accompanying prospectus supplement. You should consult your tax advisor about your own tax situation.
