Automatic Redemption: Beginning on July 01, 2024, if, on any Observation Date, the closing level of the Reference Asset is greater than its Call Level, the notes will be automatically redeemed. Call Settlement Dates: If the notes are automatically redeemed, the Contingent Coupon Payment Date immediately following the relevant Observation Date. Trigger Event: T he closing level of the Reference Asset is less than its Trigger Level on the Valuation Date . Payment Upon Automatic Redemption : If the notes are automatically redeemed, then, on the applicable Call Settlement Date, for each $1,000 principal amount, investors will receive $1,000 plus the Contingent Coupon otherwise due. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE The objective of the notes is to provide clients the potential to earn periodic income, subject to an automatic redemption, while offering limited downside protection against a slight to moderate decline in the level of the Reference Asset over the term of the notes. As such, the notes may be suitable for investors with a moderately bullish view of the Reference Asset over the term of the notes. The performance of the notes may not be consistent with the investment objective.

2 Observation Dates and Contingent Coupon Payment Dates: Payment at Maturity (if held to the Maturity Date): If the notes are not automatically redeemed, the payment at maturity for the notes is based on the performance of the Reference Asset. You will receive $1,000 for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes, unless the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Trigger Level. If the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Trigger Level , you will receive at maturity, for each $1,000 in principal amount of your notes, a cash amount equal to: $1,000 + [$1,000 x Percentage Change] You will also receive the final Contingent Coupon, if payable. Percentage Change: The Percentage Change of the Reference Asset, expressed as a percentage, is calculated using the following formula: (Final Level – Initial Level) / Initial Level Physical Delivery Amount: We will only pay cash on the Maturity Date, and you will have no right to receive any shares of the Reference Asset. Initial Level: T he closing level of the Reference Asset on the Pricing Date. Final Level: The closing level of the Reference Asset on the Valuation Date. Principal at Risk: Investors in these notes could lose all or a substantial portion of their investment at maturity if there has been a decline in the market value of the Reference Asset and the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Trigger Level. We urge you to carefully review the documents described in “Additional Information” below, including the risk factors set forth and incorporated by reference therein, prior to making an investment decision. Secondary Market: The notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. Although not obligated to do so, BMO Capital Markets Corp. (or one of its affiliates), plans to maintain a secondary market in the notes after the Settlement Date. Proceeds from a sale of notes prior to maturity may be less than the principal amount initially invested.

3 Selected Risk Considerations: The risks summarized below are some of the most important factors to be considered prior to any purchase of the notes. Investors are urged to read all the risk factors related to the notes in the pricing supplement and the product supplement to which this term sheet relates. • You could lose up to the entire principal amount of your notes, and your potential return on the notes is limited to any Contingent Coupon payments, if any. If the notes are not automatically redeemed and if a Trigger Event has occurred with respect to the Reference Asset, and if the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Initial Level, you will lose 1% of the principal amount for each 1% that the Final Level of the Reference Asset is less than its Initial Level. • You may not receive any Contingent Coupons with respect to your notes. • Your notes are subject to automatic early redemption. If the notes are so redeemed, you will not receive any additional Contingent Coupons, and you may not be able to invest the proceeds in a security with a similar return. • Your return on the notes is limited to the Contingent Coupons, if any, regardless of any increase in the level of the Reference Asset. • The payments on the notes will be based on the performance of the Reference Asset. • A higher Contingent Interest Rate or lower Trigger Levels or Coupon Barrier Levels may reflect greater expected volatility of the Reference Asset, and greater expected volatility generally indicates an increased risk of loss at maturity. • Your return on the notes may be lower than the return on a conventional debt security of comparable maturity. • The return on your notes will not reflect the return you would realize if you actually owned shares of the Reference Asset or a security directly linked to the performance of the Reference Asset and held that investment for a similar period. • The notes are unsecured debt obligations of the Issuer and your investment is subject to the credit risk of the Issuer. • Our and our affiliates’ activities may conflict with your interests and may also adversely affect the value of the notes. • Our initial estimated value of the notes will be lower than the price to public, does not represent any future value of the notes, and may also differ from the estimated value of any other party. • The terms of the notes are not determined by reference to the credit spreads for our conventional fixed - rate debt. • The inclusion of the hedging profits, if any, in the initial price to public of the notes, as well as our hedging costs, is likely to adversely affect the price at which you can sell your notes. • You will not have any shareholder rights and will have no right to receive any shares of the Reference Asset at maturity. • We have no affiliation with the issuer of the Reference Asset, and will not be responsible for their actions. • The level of the Reference Asset can rise or fall sharply due to factors specific to the Reference Asset and the issuer of the Reference Asset. You must rely on your own evaluation of the merits of an investment linked to the Reference Asset. • 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. • We and our affiliates may engage in hedging and trading activities related to the notes that could adversely affect our payment to you at maturity.

4 Hypothetical Calculations for the Payment at Maturity: Examples of the Hypothetical Payment at Maturity for a $1,000 Investment in the notes The following examples illustrate the hypothetical payments on a note at maturity, assuming that the notes are not automatically called. The hypothetical payments are based on a $1,000 investment in the notes, a hypothetical Initial Level o f $100.00, a hypothetical Trigger Level of $65.00 (65% of the hypothetical Initial Level), a hypothetical Call Level of $100.00 (100% of the hypothetical Initial Level), the Contingent Interest Rate of 2.075 % per quarter , a range of hypothetical Final Levels and the effect on the payment at maturity if (i) a Trigger Event occurs with respect to the Reference Asset or (ii) if a Trigger Event does not occur with respect to the Reference Asset. The hypothetical examples shown below are intended to help you understand the terms of the notes. If the notes are not automatically called, the actual amount that you will receive at maturity will depend upon whether the closing level of the Reference Asset is below its Trigger Level on the Valuation Date . If the notes are automatically called prior to maturity, the hypothetical examples below will not be relevant, and you will receive on the applicable Call Settlement Date, for each $1,000 principal amount, the principal amount plus the applicable Contingent Coupon . These examples do not give effect to any U.S. federal tax payments or brokerage commissions that you may be required to pay in connection with your purchase of the notes. Example 1: The Final Level of the Reference Asset at maturity is $40, which is less than the Trigger Level and therefore a Trigger Event has occurred. In this case, you will receive a payment of $400 for each $1,000 in principal amount of the notes, resulting in a loss of 60% of your principal amount. Your loss of principal may be partially offset by Contingent Coupons, if any, received with respect to the notes. Example 2: The Final Level of the Reference Asset at maturity is $90 and therefore a Trigger Event has not occurred. In this case, you will receive a payment equal to the principal amount of your notes. You will not receive any positive return on your investment other than any Contingent Coupons. Example 3: The Final Level of the Reference Asset at maturity is $115, which is 15% greater than the Initial Level. In this case, you will receive a payment equal to the principal amount of your notes. You will not receive any positive return on your investment other than any Contingent Coupons.
