By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Feb. 27 – Bank of Montreal priced $1.25 million of 0% contingent risk absolute return notes due Feb. 28, 2017 linked to the iShares MSCI EAFE exchange-traded fund, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If the ETF’s return is positive, the payout at maturity will be par plus the ETF's return.

If the ETF's return is less than or equal to zero and a barrier event has not occurred, the payout will be par plus the absolute value of the ETF's return. A barrier event will occur if the ETF’s shares close below the barrier level, 72% of the initial share price, on any day during the life of the notes.

If the ETF's return is less than or equal to zero and a barrier event has occurred, investors will be fully exposed to the ETF's decline.
