New Issue: Bank of Montreal prices $7.54 million 10.15% reverse exchangeables linked to stock basket

By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 11 - Bank of Montreal priced $7.54 million of reverse exchangeable notes due April 14, 2011 linked to a basket of stocks, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The three-month notes carry an annualized coupon of 10.15%. Interest is payable monthly.

The basket includes equal weights of Akamai Technologies, Inc., First Solar, Inc., Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., Janus Capital Group Inc., Monster Worldwide, Inc., Netflix Inc., NII Holdings Inc. and Wynn Resorts, Ltd.

Each note has a face amount of $8,000.

A conversion event will occur for a basket stock if it closes below its trigger price during the life of the notes and its final price is less than its initial price. The trigger price is 75% of the initial share price for Janus, NII and Wynn Resorts and 70% of the initial share price for the remaining stocks.

For each stock that has experienced a conversion event, investors will receive at maturity a number of shares of that stock equal to $1,000 divided by that stock's initial share price or, at the issuer's option, a cash amount equal to the value of those shares.

For each stock that has not experienced a conversion event, investors will receive $1,000 at maturity.

BMO Capital Markets Corp. is the agent.
